With its Jaeger 9, Haenel has brought a break-action rifle to the market, which is primarily designed for stalking and use in mountain hunting. The Jaeger 9 is a very lightweight rifle, with a total weight of 2.3 kilograms.
Typical for Haenel is the trigger used in the Jaeger 9, which is a combination of direct trigger and set trigger. The trigger weight is rated at 750 grams, which is also considered light. Furthermore, the Jaeger 9 is equipped with a modified tipping block lock according to Franz Jäger, similar to that used in the Blaser K 95 or the Merkel K 3. This special locking block, which is also the centerpiece of this break-action rifle, offers nearly double the locking surface compared to modern bolt-action rifles.
Break-action rifles are appreciated by many hunters. However, the often high price of these sleek companions in the field is less appreciated. Haenel focuses on a price-performance ratio that is meant to convince with all its weapons. The Jaeger 9 is also quite affordable for its category of firearms.
New price: from ~€1,500
