POTD: Haenel ONE - Precision Bolt-Action Rifle in .308 Win
Photo Of The Day: Last year, I was in Suhl, Germany, the hometown of C.G. Haenel. It was closed due to the weekend, but the town has some excellent shooting ranges and a wonderful museum that is well worth visiting. Today, we’re taking a look at Haenel’s Model One.
This model is said to slash the typical entry cost for Haenel's long-range series by nearly 50% through its innovative bolt-action chassis design. This setup is more compact and incorporates universal AR-compatible interfaces, while retaining the essence of a high-performance .308 Win. long-range rifle. Today, we’re more into admiring nice photos than cost or facts.
It’s said to boast impressive accuracy and extensive customization possibilities to match specific missions and user preferences. Ideal for use with bipods or tripods, or in various shooting positions (aimed, seated, standing, or prone). The LR/ONE tips the scales at just 4.8 kilograms, establishing it as a versatile and agile option for ambitious shooters targeting distances up to approximately 800 meters.
High-end precision rifles that meet pro-level standards tend to be cumbersome, weighty, and prohibitively costly, often exceeding what's needed for everyday scenarios. On the flip side, budget-friendly precision options are frequently modified hunting rifles, lacking the foundational engineering for true precision demands. Haenel claims to break this mold with the LR/ONE in .308 caliber, channeling its proven expertise in precision firearms from the ground up to focus on essential performance.
We do not know what the price is, unfortunately, but you can take a deeper look here: https://www.cg-haenel.de/en/products/lr-one/

I'm a regular reader of Cal Zant's PrecisionRifleBlog and honestly, short of subsonic 308 loadings, I'm right on the edge of declaring a military 308 bolt gun obsolete.
Even in the context of field use your sniper teams are going to be supplied in a totally different way, and with a substantially different logistics footprint (extremely low).
