Haenel Jaeger NXT

The straight-pull hunting repeater Jaeger NXT from the German gunsmith Haenel shines with technical finesse and ecological sustainability.
The torsion lock with kick-down chamber handle combines repeating and manual cocking in one lever and impresses with ergonomics and speed. The innovative, lightweight FSC-certified wood composite stock with a noble characteristic grain, which is as resistant as a synthetic stock, is made of birch wood. All plastic parts of the rifle are also made from a sustainable resin-cellulose composite material.

Sustainability
FSC wood composite stock - a novel manufacturing process for environmentally friendly and lightweight composite wood stocks, combining the look and feel (better: haptics) of a wooden stock with the robustness of a synthetic stock, without the need to fell an old walnut tree.
Ecologically sustainable plastic – all plastic parts of the Jaeger NXT are made from a composite material of cellulose and tree resin. The quality and finish of these bio-plastics match conventional plastics.

The System
The system of the Haenel Jaeger 10 NXT is made of high-quality steel. The Ilaflon coating of the surfaces effectively protects against corrosion. The straight-pull hunting repeater Jaeger NXT is equipped by Haenel with a patented torsion lock. This is a cylinder lock that is set in rotational motion via a bevel gear and locks via the lugs in the barrel. This combines a linear repeating motion with a known and proven lock for repeating rifles.
Apart from the repeating function, the ergonomically shaped chamber handle has another task: it serves as a manual cocking device. This ensures that the Jaeger NXT provides a cocking process with minimal effort. The lever forces utilized by the manual cocking allow for a smooth, quiet, and pleasant cocking of the weapon. Rapid uncocking is also possible without having to change or adjust the hand position. Additionally, the repeater features a chamber lock that protects against unintentional activation during stalking.
The removable bio-plastic magazine with a patented magazine lock holds 5+1 rounds and provides sufficient firepower. The system is rounded off with a universal Picatinny base mount. The simple and repeatable mounting of the sight optics is ensured by milled grooves.

Trigger and Safety
The Haenel Jaeger NXT is equipped with a direct trigger that releases at approximately 1000 g. The safety provided by a chamber lock is intended to prevent unintentional cocking of the Jaeger NXT. This lock is located at the rear of the bolt and has three positions: far left, the weapon can be opened but not cocked. In the middle position, the weapon can be cocked and fired, but the chamber is locked. A shot releases this, allowing the shooter to repeat. In the right position, the weapon is completely locked: neither cocking nor opening is possible. This would typically be the position for stalking or tracking.

Stock
The stock of the Haenel Jaeger NXT is made from a composite material of birch wood. The composite material is normally used in yacht construction and therefore has excellent properties for a hunting weapon. The wood is FSC certified and very robust as well as resistant to moisture. The noble appearance of the NXT is combined with the robustness of a synthetic stock. Additionally, the material meets high sustainability standards, as no old root wood needs to be used. The classic stock shape with a straight stock back effectively absorbs the recoil of the repeater. The palm swell is shaped for both right- and left-handed shooters. The checkering on the pistol grip and fore-end provides very good grip even in wet conditions.

Barrel with removable I-Sight sighting system
With the Jaeger NXT, Haenel equips a weapon for the first time with a so-called Green Barrel. The Suhl precision barrel is available in caliber .308Win and additionally optimized for the most common lead-free projectiles.
Alternatively, the Jaeger NXT is available with a high-quality barrel in caliber .30-06Spring. Available and additionally optimized for the most common lead-free projectiles. Thus, Haenel claims to take into account the different external geometries of lead-free hunting projectiles and improves precision.
Alternatively, the Jaeger NXT is available with a high-quality barrel in caliber .30-06 Spring.
The Ilaflon coating of the surface effectively protects against corrosion. A muzzle thread M 15x1 and the in-house removable i-Sight sighting system are standard. They are optimal for the use of sound suppressors, muzzle brakes, and attachment devices.
