Merkel K5 - Extreme Black - Test and Deer Hunt

Merkel K5 Extreme Black in .270 Win tested on the range and deer stalking. Remington, Federal, RWS and Winchester lead and lead free loads tested with this superb compact German stalking rifle. Grade 5 walnut, fluted barrel, threaded muzzle, nitrided Suhler locking breech all add up to a premium break open single shot rifle with instant calibre change.

Best review of the K5 on the TH-cam! Thanks!

[@jhann990]

Very clear review. Great stuff.

[@dylanjones1112]

Brilliant review 👍

[@Hermod_Hermit]

Fyi, that wood is most likely an upgrade in the €800 class. Merkel grade 4 wood is rather bland (grade 4 is standard on the K5) and that piece of wood is, according to the video, grade 5. I think that is actually grade 6, tbh, but what do I know?
Also, if you want a left hand stock for it, add another €400. I was looking to get one from watching reviews, but as everything just kept on adding up I might skip it. All in all it would cost me about €7500 including scope and mount and that is a load of money for an aluminium action without any sort of engraving.
I really love the concept, do not get me wrong. I just have a really hard time justifying the cost for a rifle that is pretty much cnc machined through and through.

Bună dimineața cît costă o armă cal 30x06?

Needs an ejector

[@TheKetamineSquid]

the .270 is a rimless cartridge so it wouldn't really work without having some heavy and complex ejector system that completely negates the point of the rifle.

[@freddy09625]

Piece of crap. I can barely close and open it without having to use a lot of force. The only ammo that works without a problem is Sellier&Bellot and Winchester. My god I regret giving away my Blaser K95.
