Haenel RS8 Basic Description

Compact rifle with a short and heavy barrel for maximum accuray on average shooting distances with an optimal handling. The ergonomic concept is based on a tool-less adjustment of the gun with the support of quick adjustments. The Stock can be adjusted not just in length, but also in height. The cheek-rest, which is also adjustable in height and length and allow usage by left and right handed marksmen. The precise trigger action can be adjusted for pull-resistance, trigger pull and longitudinal position and take up pull. Thanks to the pistol grip adapter, it is possible to replace the grip, (also with third party suppliers). The robust fiberglass-reinforced PVC parts give a comfortable feel, even in cold and wet conditions. In summary, the concept affords the marksman the conditions for concentrated aiming and shooting. The modular concept is based on universally recognised interfaces for accessories; from the pistol-grip adapter to the Norm interface to Military Standard 1913, (Picatinny). A picatinny rail is milled into the system housing, this permits highest precision connected with a low line of sight. A further picatinny rail is integrated on the bottom of the chassis in front of the hand-guard. The front of the RS 8/9 chassis offers the ability to attach Parker-Hale or Harris supports. Optional picatinny rails on the sides and a barrel-surrounding aluminum brace with integrated picatinny rails for night-sight adapters offer other options. The barrel thread is compatible with all standard silencers and flash hidder. In summary, the modular build of the system allows the marksman to use the most suitable equipment in any given situation.
