As new Merkel K3 break open rifle in the potent 7x65R chambering. Offering price includes factory QD scope mount, 80 rds. of factory ammunition, one box of fired brass, and reloading dies. Rifle has been fired only 20 rds., hence the box of once-fired brass. Due to shipping regulations, the ammunition will be shipped separately. I will pay shipping for both within the continental US. $2750.

I have a K1 in 7mm RemMag - they are tackdrivers in a lightweight super portable design. I can honestly say I’ve never had a rifle that has ever carried as easy as my K1.

Thanks for the comments. The rifles are both rather late for such loadings. But then, one carries a lot more than one shoots.
 
Typically these came with 500-550-600 or 650mm barrel lengths. Just guessing this is 600?
 
Gorgeous rifle. One day I hope to have one just like it. What is the barrel length and twist rate on this rifle? How did it shoot for you?

24" depending on from where one measures.

Don't know the twist rate. As noted above, I found the rifle a bit light (not late!) for the caliber.
 
The K1-K3 Merkels are easy to carry and very accurate. If anyone is looking for a really good stalking rifle, here it is.

Safe shooting

600mm would be 23.6 inches, so most likely it's a 600. Perfect length for that caliber. (y)
