Merkel R15 .30-06 Bolt Action Black Synthetic 77R15.3006

Merkel R15

The Merkel R15 is a bolt action hunting rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield that combines precision engineering with practical features for reliable field performance. This pre MHR-16 model features a cold-hammer-forged barrel mated to a cold-forged and precision-machined receiver with a full-bodied three-lug bolt and smooth 60-degree throw for fast follow-up shots.

It includes a direct trigger that breaks at under three pounds, a safety located behind the bolt handle with separate chamber lock for safe unloading, and a detachable box magazine. The black synthetic stock version provides durability and weather resistance while maintaining a lightweight profile of approximately 6.8 pounds, with optics mounting via standard Savage mounts.

This R15 is ideal for hunters seeking an affordable yet high-quality bolt action rifle with traditional Merkel craftsmanship and modern refinements. Its versatile .30-06 chambering, robust construction, and user-friendly features make it well-suited for big game hunting and general field use.
