HAENEL .308 RS8

Description

Every marksman is individual and every situation is different. Haenel has developed a system which caters to these demands: Two concepts allow the rifle to be adjusted to fit the individual user and situation and both were at the centre of Haenel’s development quest. One is about ergonomics; the ability to make the weapon fit the marksman, and about modularity; which is defined by the interfaces a system offers to components and accessories. The technology incorporated in these concepts is trimmed to the highest professional demands. Only the best materials are used. This, coupled with the long years of experience in surface and heat treatment technologies produces a precise, reliable rifle with a long product life. You may order this gun online, however due to current UK legislation, we are not permitted to ship directly to you, we can however ship to a registered firearms dealer local to you. Once we receive your order, we will contact you to arrange which registered firearms dealer you would like the gun to be shipped to. THE ERGONOMIC CONCEPT OF THE RS 8The 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 sideways and allows usage by left and right handed marksmen. The precise trigger action can be adjusted for pullresistance, trigger pull and longitudinal position and take up pull. The pistol grip adapter (AR 15 style) allows the user to select from a wide variaty of different pistol grips. 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 OF THE RS 8The modular concept is based on the universally recognised interfaces for accessories; from the pistol grip adapter to the mounting rails for aiming devices and acessories (MIL Std 1913). 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 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 hider. In summary, the modular build of the system allows the marksman to use the most suitable equipment in any given situation.
