Haenel Jaeger NXT Tracker

The straight-pull hunting repeater Jaeger NXT Tracker from the German gunsmith Haenel is ideal for tracking and driven hunts.
The torsion lock with kick-down chamber handle combines repeating and manual cocking in one lever and impresses with its 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 from 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 laminated wood stocks, combines the look and feel 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 Tracker 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 NXT Tracker is made of high-quality steel and is excellently equipped for tracking and driven hunts with its muzzle sling swivel and side sling swivel attachment in the buttstock. The Ilaflon coating of the surfaces effectively protects against corrosion. The straight-pull hunting repeater Jaeger NXT Tracker is equipped by Haenel with a patented torsion lock. This is a cylinder lock that is set in motion by a bevel gear and locks via the lugs in the barrel. This combines a linear repeating motion with a known and proven lock for repeaters.
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 Tracker allows for cocking with minimal effort. The lever forces utilized by the manual cocking device enable a smooth, quiet, and pleasant cocking of the weapon. Quick relaxation 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 Tracker is equipped with a direct trigger that releases at approximately 1000 g. The safety provided by a chamber lock is intended to prevent the unintentional cocking of the Jaeger NXT Tracker. 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 will release it, allowing the shooter to then 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 Tracker is made from a composite material of birch wood. This 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 Tracker 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 Tracker, Haenel equips a weapon for the first time with a so-called Green Barrel. The Suhl precision barrel is available in caliber .308 Win. and is additionally optimized for the most common lead-free projectiles. This, according to Haenel, takes into account the different external geometries of lead-free hunting projectiles and improves precision.
Alternatively, the Jaeger NXT Tracker 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.
