Right in time for hunting season, renowned German manufacturer C.G. Haenel has unveiled two new additions to its Jaeger NXT straight-pull bolt-action family of hunting rifles, the Jaeger NXT Adjustable and Jaeger NXT Tracker. The Suhl-based manufacturer promises both models to make perfect companions for any style of hunt, from stalking and tracking to hunting from a stand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jaeger NXT models feature C.G. Haenel\u2019s i-Sight system, offering hunters a variety of muzzle configurations to suit their preferences. Loosening a screw allows the front sight and base to be completely removed or relocated to the rear in favor of any style of muzzle brake or suppressor<\/a> to be installed on the M15x1 threads.<\/p>\n Jaeger NXT models offer enhanced safety via a kickdown chamber handle doubling as a manual tensioner with the bolt handle able to be locked during stalking and handling. The combination of this system and the\u00a0chamber lock slide means the rifle can safely be carried in all terrain and conditions with the ability to be cocked very quickly via the kickdown bolt handle just before taking the shot. The chamber lock slide enables the bolt handle to be blocked if need be, adding another layer of safety to the system.\u00a0<\/p>\n The one-piece laminated wood stock on Jaeger NXT models features fine forend and grip checkering for confident handling under any conditions. C.G. Haenel claims the trigger breaks at a crisp 2.2 lbs.\u00a0The rifles have a 5+1 capacity and are fed via a flush-fit detachable box magazine.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Haenel Jaeger NXT Adjustable is a straight-pull rifle like its predecessors but is equipped with a quickly adjustable cheekpiece. C.G. Haenel has integrated the classic look and feel of a laminated wood stock with the functionality of a modern adjustable composite. The rugged wood compound takes its rich grain from fast-growing laminated birch, making for an environmentally friendly alternative.\u00a0<\/p>\n The cheekpiece features two locking columns that adjust with the simple push of a button, releasing a detent and allowing the cheekpiece to extend against spring tension, creating an ideal sighting line without the need to exit the shooting position.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Jaeger NXT Adjustable is available now chambered in .308, .30-06, 8\u00d757 IS, and .300 Win. Mag., with a 20-inch barrel or 24-inch barrel for magnum calibers. The Jaeger NXT sells for right at 2,199 euros or just a hair under $2,400.\u00a0<\/p>\n The fast-handling C.G. Haenel Jaeger NXT Tracker, the most recent addition to the lineup, is designed for trackers and dog handlers with a shorter and lighter 18.5-inch barrel. The rifle features sling swivels on the rear of the stock and affixed to the muzzle, something that differs a bit from American firearms sling attachment designs.<\/p>\n The Tracker is available now chambered in .308 and 8\u00d757 IS for 2,159 euros or just shy of $2,350.<\/p>\n For more information visit C.G.
