srvet Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 You might be in a very small owners club! Never seen one to be honest other than a YouTube vid where someone was stalking goats with one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I see their stand at IWA every year and OK, if you want one you want one. Some shooters like Sauer or Blazer or Mauser - quality kit at quality prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 They look excellent to me, in the same league as Sauer, Blaser & Mauser - I've owned a Sauer for 26 years, with such rifles you get what you pay for. Jusy one caveat - look at the competition first, Haenel is more niche market than the others, I'd be more inclined to go Sauer/Blaser ... ... or another suggestion is the Strasser RS05 - designed by Horst Blaser after he split from the company whch bears his name. It incorporates all of the improvements he wanted to make to the Blaser R93/R8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbal Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Snow white,your first group(s) look very decent shot under honest field conditions. Maybe just under half an inch? Which is fine for varmint shooting,at sensible ranges -as Big Al says. The convention is to measure centre to centre of the two furthest apart shots-or,same thing,edge to edge of the two furthest apart shots and subtract one calibre (edge to edge is easier in the field-a simple 1/10 inch ruler is good enough (well,couple of inches of ruler should suffice!) 5 shots give a truer picture than 3(despite the classic 'clover leaf-each shot touches the other two-four leaf clover is much rarer!)and two or more 5 shot groups add more confidence(reduce the 'luck' element)! Aggregate is the key,not super one offs.Remember that in field shooting,at distance,given a sub 1/2 moa rifle,group size becomes almost the least of your concerns,a whole raft of 'flier' causers comes into play. Looks good so far,shoot and enjoy. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
