FAQ – frequently asked questions
Hunting
All HAENEL JAEGER models feature an integrated Picatinny mounting base as standard. This universal mounting platform enables easy, secure, and repeatable scope mounting thanks to precisely machined grooves. As a result, all common riflescopes as well as fixed and quick-detach mounts can be installed safely and flexibly.
For a particularly high-quality and modular optics setup, Dentler mounting systems are recommended.
All HAENEL hunting rifles feature an M15x1 threaded barrel with thread protector as standard.
In addition, the JAEGER NXT variants come standard with the individually configurable i-Sight system, consisting of a removable rear and front sight (exception: JAEGER NXT Composite Short).
The i-Sight system is also available as a retrofit kit for all HAENEL hunting rifles.
The twist is different with each calibre – you will find the details with the individual rifle models under “Technical Details”.
The JAEGER NXT straight-pull rifles are now also available in left-handed versions. Reloading and manual cocking can be operated comfortably with the leading hand – all at the same price as the right-handed version.
The JAEGER NXT variants (Composite, Composite Short and Adjustable) as well as the JAEGER EVO feature an adjustable cheekpiece for optimal adaptation to the shooter and optics.
Sports
For the RS- and CR-series, there are BKA determination notices that allow sporting use if a corresponding sporting authorisation is available. A green WBK (hunting) also allows the acquisition of both weapon systems.
C.G. Haenel is the general importer for weapons and silencers of our Swiss system partner B&T. Distribution takes place exclusively through specialist arms dealers.
The CR series, with the exception of the CR223, has a variable throttle pick-up and can thus be adjusted for silencer operation.

Haenel offers the same rifle systems for both sporting and authority use – for sporting use, only 10-round magazines and certain special accessories are permitted in Germany. The weapons regulations in your country apply.
Defence
The rifles of the RS and CR series are used by the Bundeswehr, special units and state police forces.
No. Authority models are adapted to individual operational needs and have individual modifications. These variants are given exclusively to public authorities.
The CR223 is compatible with conventional M4 magazines. However, the Haenel weapons were only tested with the original magazines.
Yes, the CR223 is OTB tested, as is the MK556. OTB stands for “over the beach” and means that the rifle can be fired quickly and safely when taken out of the water.
