The Haenel RS8 is the European police sniper platform of the last ten years and is in use with German and other Euro police forces as a long-range marksman rifle -- and Wanstalls has one.
For those who are unfamiliar with Haenel, they are the German arms design group made famous by the brothers Schmeisser -- that submachine gun family and other famous weapons come from the same heritage as this sniper platform. They've been favored by German arms developers and government contracts for decades for their products' reliability and accuracy. You're looking at their legacy for the 21st century, a fully-adjustable, multi-role sniper rifle with the lightest, crispest factory double stage around -- with sub-MOA accuracy. These rifles exude German precision craftsmanship in every aspect of their design and execution.
A little primer from CG Haenel themselves:
01: SHOULDER STOCK: Made out of high strength alloy and synthetic components with hand rest and ground spike.
02: CHEEK REST: tool-free adjustable in height and side-wise with tools for right or left-handed shooters.
03: PISTOLGRIP: ergonomic Pistolgrip glass fibre reinforced. Adaption for different grips.
04: ADJUSTABLE BUTTSTOCK: is fully configurable to shooter
05: TRIGGER: individually adjustable.
06: BOLT HANDLE: Ergonomic handle direct above the trigger and a opening angle of 60 degrees for a fast repeating.
07: MAGAZINE CATCH: ambidextrous lever for right and left handed shooters.
08: MAGAZINE: with 10 rounds.
09: HANDGUARD: high tensile glass fibre synthetic hand guard with a flad underside for a good rest of the rifle and ergonomic grip even when it´s cold.
10: FLUSH CUP: three flush cup for carrying sling on each side.
11: BI-POD MOUNT: compatible with Parker-Hale or the Harris Bi-Pod on the front side of the system.
12: BARREL: Cold hammer-forged free floated barrels.Hexagonal key (SW26) for an easy disassembling and assembling of the screwed barrel. Of all methods, this produces the strongest barrels with unmatched consistency. The RS 8 barrels have exact bore and rifling dimensions and a carefully tuned exterior contour. Threaded barrel to mount different accessoires.
13: SAFETY: 3-position safety, direct locking the firing pin.
14: SYSTEM: receiver and barrel are made out of steal and screwed – similar material minimize the material extension at variations in temperature and save the accuracy. The system has a sustainable corrosion-resistant treatment for different parts.
15: CHASSIS: solid alloy-part with integrated prismatic bedding for the upper-receiver (block) for the bench shooting performance. Surface is hard anodized. Underside with Picatinny rail and optional rails on the left and right side.
16: RECEIVER: steel receiver with thick cladding and integrated Picatinny-rail (milled into the receiver). Uncompromised corrosion and abrasion resistance for smooth feeding.
17: BOLT: roated bolt head with 6 lugs (tested up to 8.000 bar gas pressure). Optical and physical cocking indicator.
We were extremely lucky to get this rifle in recently and we are not sure we can ever get another one! We have just the one pictured below:
