Merkel KR1 JENA BOLT ACTION RIFLE | KR1 WEIMAR
City names have always been a classification criterion for the high-grade outfitting of Merkel hunting rifles. The basic rule is, the nearer the
location to the gunmaking town of Suhl on the map, the more valuable the outfitting. Good for the man who knows his Thuringia geography. The Jena design is distinguished by a select walnut stock and handmade arabesque engraving. The trigger and bolt head are titan-nitrated. The Weimar design is additionally fitted with a rounded bolt housing, which is hand engraved with animal motifs and optional trim. The stock is made of highly figured walnut with a rosewood forearm tip – a Meisterstück in the MEM category.
