The perforated stock with a spherical, steep pistol grip and a pleasant soft-touch coating lies perfectly when aimed. Includes 5-shot insert magazine. Side 2-position sliding lock. The 8" twist is particularly suitable for normal loads and subsonic ammunition. Dry-standing fine trigger with a trigger weight of 750 g. Total length: 101 cm without muzzle brake, weight 3.2 kg.

General description for all Mercury 870 models:
Due to their clean workmanship and high reliability, the Mercury 870 repeating rifles are very popular. Different models with wooden and plastic stocks and different barrel designs are available. The action box on all models is made from a solid piece of chrome-nickel steel and the barrel is cold hammered. The locking takes place via two solid locking lugs directly in the chamber. The two-position sliding lock is located on the right side of the lock. The safety acts on the trigger and works in two positions. When the slide is in the forward position, the rifle is ready to fire; this is indicated by a red dot. A white dot is displayed in the rear position. The rifle is now in the secured state. Depending on the version, the models have walnut stocks or modern plastic stocks, some even with a hole stock. The caliber range is from .222 Rem. up to 9.3x62. There are hinged cover magazines available, which hold 4+1 or 5+1 shots depending on the caliber, or removable box magazines. The bolt handles protrude sufficiently far from the stock to enable rapid repeating at the stop.
