Jaeger NXT as a tracker variant: Straight-pull bolt-action rifle for walk-through shooting and tracking<\/h1><\/h1><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/www.cg-haenel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Haenel-Jaeger-NXT-Tracker-01-1200x.png\" "\\"Haenel-Jaeger-NXT-Tracker-01-1200x\\"")

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>The NXT has almost everything you need for this hunting niche: now enhanced with a short barrel and Tracker iSight system.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe term \u2018bull’s eye\u2019 is used colloquially to describe when something fits perfectly – this also applies to a hunting rifle that ideally covers a not-so-narrow range of applications. The Jaeger NXT Tracker is probably close to what is generally defined as the \u2018ideal rifle for shooting and tracking\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>Short, handy, robust, fast, variable – and safe. These are the characteristics that tracking and traversing shooters expect from the rifle they use to break through the thicket. The Jaeger NXT comes with a central dowry: The rifle is – unusually in this price range – a genuine hand cocking device that can be safely carried even in difficult terrain with an uncocked action. The rifle thus remains relaxed until shortly before the shot – an important safety advantage for fellow hunters, dogs and the shooter himself. A simple safety device is not enough, especially when stumbling, walking at the lowest speed and getting stuck are part of the job.<\/p>\n
Hand cocking: carry safely uncocked, shoot at lightning speed<\/strong><\/p>\nNevertheless, the kickdown chamber handle can be used to get the rifle ready to fire at lightning speed: Simply push forwards and the system is cocked and ready to fire. With an additional chamber lock lever, the bolt handle can also be completely blocked if required. And the 5-round magazine is secured against loss as standard with a patented extra lock.<\/p>\n
A further weighty argument for hunters who are experienced in undergrowth: the iSight system for variable sights takes into account the different needs of stand shooters, walk-through shooters and gun dog handlers in a single rifle.<\/p>\n
iSight and sling swivel system: super variable<\/strong><\/p>\nIn the Tracker variant, the iSight system opens up all target-oriented options on the barrel: the front sight can be completely removed or mounted in a recessed position with a single screw (M3, hexagon socket). The muzzle thread (M15x1) can also be fitted with a standard silencer when the front sight is set back – this protects the hearing of man and dog when firing short shots with open sights. Anything is possible: The rifle can be used without open sights if the overbarrel silencer is screwed onto the muzzle thread. Advantage: Combined with red dot optics, nothing irritating protrudes into the line of sight.<\/p>\n
Short barrel and four sling swivel sockets<\/strong><\/p>\nHaenel has further perfected the rifle for the intended use with a special \u2018support structure\u2019 and a short barrel (470 mm barrel length): The front tracker sling swivel mount also utilises the muzzle thread; it is simply screwed on and then sits securely on the left. It corresponds with the sling swivel bushing on the left side of the buttstock, in which the push-button system is locked. The classic sling swivel sockets at the bottom of the fore-end and buttstock are retained and increase the options for engaging the push-button sling as required.<\/p>\n
And some more data on handling: with the 19-millimeter semi-weighted barrel, the rifle has a short overall length of 99 centimeters. Combined with the robust wood compound stock (FSC-certified composite wood), this straight-pull repeater weighs around 3.1 kilograms unloaded. The rifle will be available at market launch in .308 Win. and 8x57IS calibers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
