Available in both Grade 1 walnut and synthetic-stocked versions, the R15 rifle combines the classic hunting rifle style with old-world craftsmanship and the latest manufacturing technology to create a platform that is refined, yet surprisingly affordable for the American market. Functional, practical and beautiful, the R15 features a newly designed receiver that is cold-forged and precision machined.

The receiver of the R15 is mated to a standard-contour cold-hammer-forged barrel, for which Merkel has become renowned. The R15 features a direct trigger with a weight of just less than three pounds, as set by the factory. The safety is located behind the bolt handle and acts directly upon the sear. It also features a separate chamber lock, which allows safe unloading while keeping the safety “on.” The detachable magazine is seated in front of the trigger. The mounting pattern for optics conforms to Savage standards. Both versions are available in standard and magnum calibers: .243 Win., 6.5×55, .270 Win., .308 Win., .30-’06 Sprg., 9.3×62, .300 Win. Mag. and 7 Rem. Mag. The walnut R15 weighs 7 pounds, 4.4 ounces, and the synthetic weighs 6 pounds, 9.8 ounces. MSRPs are $799 for the walnut R15, and $699 for the synthetic.
