Thread: Optics on single shot rifles e.g Merkel / k95

Blue collar single.... Merkel K3, Kahles 3-9x42 Helia. 2.9 kg as it sits there in 7x57R.

That's a nice set up Dicko and in a great calibre, it all looks in balance to me. I think 36mm- 42/ 44 mm objective is right for these single shots .

Good to carry, very accurate to boot. However ever though its only a 7mm Mauser, when loaded with 140's at 2800 it is pretty lively off a bench.
