WTS Haenel Sporter (built on 88 commision rifle action)
      #193078 - 05/11/11 01:35 PM

I have an Haenel Sporter in VG++ to excellent external condition in 8x57 (.323" bore), nice case coloring below the wood line and minor case coloring on trigger guard/mag housing.

I have taken this rifle all apart and cleaned all old grease and minor corrosion, also bedded action around recoil lug and rebushed rear action bolt ferrel. Polished bolt internals/firing pin and exposed surfaces to as new.

Headspace is go +.002", Bore is .323" at muzzle and has no pitting, slight frost in grooves and wear in throat (180 nosler BTBT bullet seats 3.270" touching lands). I have been shooting 180/209 grain .3245" cast bullets only over 14-15.5 grains of A2400.

I have recently had the checkering on wrist refreshed with/over/on original pattern and it was expertly done. Stock has been cleaned and coated with two coats of clear danish oil.
Barrel has a three leaf express rear sight, Front sight is day/night rocker sight leaf but spring is broken and is included under but plate, I have machined a replacement front sight to fit into rocker housing and is currently installed until someone can repair rocker front sight flat spring.

I am asking $875 and $35 shipping handling insurance to Continental U.S.A.

The fact that this rifle remains available is a living testament to my last shred of restraint.


It really is a sweet looking piece.
I've really wanted one of these for a good long time...

As crazy as this might sound, I'd have no trouble in ignoring the rest (sell 'em) 'cause if I owned that rifle, I'd use none other for all or my big game hunting, here on out/in, even though it's a small bore. It 'tweeks me nicely.

might be the 'port' talking.

Very nice rifle.
I, too, have exhibited great restraint in letting this gun go by. Someone will be very happy with this one.

Just a guess, 6mmintl, but do you work in an OR or sterile processing department? Just all too familiar with the blue wrap myself...

Re: WTS Haenel Sporter ($$$ Reduced Price $$$) [Re: 6mmintl]
      #196862 - 16/12/11 05:05 AM

Im reducing the price to $750 shipped if anyone is interested, I cannot edit original posting.

I have an Haenel Sporter in VG++ to excellent external condition in 8x57 (.323" bore), nice case coloring below the wood line and minor case coloring on trigger guard/mag housing.

I have taken this rifle all apart and cleaned all old grease and minor corrosion, also bedded action around recoil lug and rebushed rear action bolt ferrel. Polished bolt internals/firing pin and exposed surfaces to as new.

Headspace is go +.002", Bore is .323" at muzzle and has no pitting, slight frost in grooves and wear in throat (180 nosler BTBT bullet seats 3.270" touching lands). I have been shooting 180/209 grain .3245" cast bullets only over 14-15.5 grains of A2400.

I have recently had the checkering on wrist refreshed with/over/on original pattern and it was expertly done. Stock has been cleaned and coated with two coats of clear danish oil.

Barrel has a three leaf express rear sight, the original front sight "Blade" (night/blue steel day/silver) is intact with pin in buttstock until someone can repair rocker front sight flat spring.

The front sight is not repaired but is a machined replacement that fits in the original recess in front ramp sight housing. I have machined a replacement front sight to fit into front ramp sight housing and is currently installed.

$750 shipped
