Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Merkel K3 single shot rifles???

I have a K1 in 7mm RMag topped with a 6x42 FXIII.



At 6# 5oz the 7mm RM spinning a 150 e-Tip at 3k is rather bitchy on the recoil front. Magnificent joy to carry though and she shoots very tight groups. 1/2"-3/4" groups at 100 are not uncommon.


My wife has a K1 Stutzen in 7x57r topped with a 1-6 VX6.



That rifle is a spectacularly tidy package. 150's at 2550 are plenty of most critters and it too shoots sub 1".

Both rifles have wonderful wood on them but my wife's Stutzen makes me jealous every time I see it. Full fiddleback end to end. The pix just don't do it justice.

The K1 has truly been one of the best rifle purchases I've ever made. Absolutely no regrets.
