Scope Mounts for Haenel Jaeger 10 (Up from series-Nr. JX-000921)

The History of Haenel Company

C.G. Haenel is a German manufacturer in the weapons industry, based in Suhl, a small city in the Free State of Thuringia. The company dates back to 1840 when it was founded by Carl Gottlieb Haenel, the Prussian commissioner for firearms manufacturing. They started out with the production of weapons and bicycles, which was quite common at the time as it goes hand in hand.

In 1887, a weapon designer named C.W. Aydt joined the company and designed the Aydt rifle and pistol. At the beginning of the 20th century, Haenel massively produced the Mauser Model 98 for the German Army, which was used during the First World War. In 1921, another weapon designer, Hugo Schmeisser, joined the company. Soon after that, they started producing submachine guns, based on his design, despite a ban by The Treaty of Versailles. In 1928, the company introduced the MP28, which was used by German law enforcement.

Even with Schmeisser’s success, Haenel went bankrupt several times during that period. They formed an association named the United Suhl-Zella-Mehlisser Arms Factories with several other arms manufacturers. They produced over ten thousand units of the Sturmgewehr 44 for the Nazis. Following their defeat in the Second World War and the occupation by the Soviet Union, arms production companies were hit by the war reparations. Later on, Haenel began producing air and hunting rifles by the brand name Haenel Suhl.

In 2008, the company was reinstated and renamed to its original name but under different ownership. They introduced plenty of new hunting rifle series, including Jaeger 8, Jaeger 9, bolt-action Jaeger 10, semi-auto SLB 2000+, and Jaeger 11 shotgun. They also designed a new Jaeger NXT straight-pull rifle in 2021.

Haenel Jaeger 10 Rifle Review

Haenel Jaeger 10 is a modern bolt-action rifle. The bolt has six locking lugs, except the models from the Jaeger 10 Pro series, which have three. All of them have a sixty-degree opening angle that allows for quick repetition. The rifle features a crisp trigger with an optional set trigger and a detachable magazine, which can hold 3+1 cartridges for most calibers. The two-position safety switch that locks the trigger is located right at the bolt handle.

Jaeger 10 is equipped with Haenel’s detachable iSight system. The muzzle of advanced variants is threaded for M15x1 and has a muzzle cap. The overall length of the rifle is 1100 mm to 1150 mm (43.3-inch to 45.3-inch), while the barrel measures 565 mm to 615 mm (22.2-inch to 24.2-inch), depending on the caliber.

Around 2013, Haenel decided to upgrade their rifles, announcing the Jaeger 10 Pro series. The main change was in the bolt with three locking lugs instead of six. In addition, the scope mounting surface was upgraded to the Remington 700 universal mounting base, making the rifle interchangeable with various others. Furthermore, they added an extra pre-tapped hole at the rear. After the Pro version was discontinued, Haenel decided to use a six-locking-lug bolt once again.
