    I have a Haenel 303S, nice gun, well built, very accurate. I think this model was a 10m target rifle. It had a peep sight fitted which I still have. Power is low as I say it was built for 10m. Don't know whether the photo link will work as its the first time I've tried to link.

    Note the statement "nothing else will satisfy you, once you have seen it"....So chuck those 127's mate, This is the puppy that you know you want
    The early (rounded stock) Haenel is a well built rifle. I eat that much tripe and black pudding I have to have two Haenels.
    They are far better than the Meteor, Milbro and Hawk rifles that the British airgun industry had to offer at that time.

    IJ yes they are, i think many people dismiss old eastern block offerings because of the communist thing, but i had a praktika 35m mm camera for many years and was a top bit of kit. the east germans were well above evreyone else in quality in the old eastern block countries, the stuff exported to us was usually there premier quality.

    I wouldn't go as far as saying Relum were any good.
