Henneberger - German gunsmith with tradition
If something has quality, then it has endurance: Just like the company Henneberger from Münnerstadt in Bavaria, which is known for its reliable work in the in-house gunsmith's shop and master workshop. Henneberger is very broadly positioned, especially in the field of rifle scope mounts, and manufactures solutions for almost all rifle optics.
A family-owned master workshop: Henneberger passes on its know-how in the manufacture of reliable rifle scope mounts and the faultless repair of weapons from generation to generation.
Founding of a gunsmith's shop in Münnerstadt
Rudolf Henneberger is a trained master gunsmith and decides to found his own company in Münnerstadt in 1966. From 1971, Henneberger worked parallel to his company as head of hunting rifle production at F. W. Heym GmbH & Co. KG. 1987 Hennerberger ends his activity at Heym when his son Frank enters his own business and turns it into a family business. First as a trainee and later as the manager of the company, Frank Henneberger, like his father, is committed to high-quality work on hunting weapons.
With the acquisition of its own CNC machining centre in 2000, the company created a second mainstay. The reliable assembly parts are still manufactured here today. Additional extensions to the company buildings ensure that today around 16 people work for the Henneberger company and supply hunters, gunsmiths and gun shops with flawless hunting weapons and rifle scope assemblies as well as other spare parts.
Work of the gunsmiths
Henneberger does not only manufacture rifle scope mounts, spare parts and other products for hunting weapons. All work is carried out in the in-house master workshop so that hunters can enjoy a perfectly functioning hunting rifle - whether in direct contact with Henneberger or through rifle master colleagues and gun shops. This includes, among other things, repairs in the barrel area, the production of special barrels, the firing of double-bullet weapons and the overhauling of used weapons.
The Henneberger product range
Henneberger's product range concentrates mainly on long-range target ear assemblies, which all prove themselves as practice-oriented solutions in hunting applications. In addition, the hunter receives a reliable quality product at a fair price. All components of the rifle scope assemblies, which are available for a wide variety of rifle optics, are manufactured by CAD in the company's own CNC machining centre. Here is a current selection of the assemblies:
- Aimpoint Micro Montagen: Since 2009, Henneberger has been the official supplier for Aimpoint, the inventor of the illuminated dot sight. Henneberger manufactures the basic body of the Aimpoint Micro mounts from aluminium alloys with an anodized, black surface, which have proven their worth thousands of times. The low overall height from 3 mm guarantees optimum target acquisition with the Aimpoint Micro.
- Doctorsight mounts: Henneberger offers the mounts milled from the solid for a wide range of bases for the Doctorsight illuminated dot sight - such as Blaser, Weaver and prisms. In addition, blanks are available for special applications and special requests.
- Swivel mounts: Henneberger manufactures 2-part swivel mounts with twist-lock fasteners that can be mounted with repeatable accuracy and shot-proof. They are available for all common weapon models as well as for standard, Zeiss, S&B and Swarovski rails.
- SWIFT quick-release mounting: With this product, Henneberger offers a practice-oriented, unique mounting solution for all weapons with Blaser saddle mount, Picatinny or Weaver rails as well as Sauer 303/404. The aiming optics are locked or unlocked with just one lever. With this unique one-hand operation, Henneberger meets the needs of hunters and marksmen who go beyond the usual requirements of a rifle scope mount. In the locked setting, a mechanical setting prevents the lever from coming loose unnoticed. The SWIFT base is made of high-quality aluminium with an anodised surface. The operating elements are made of robust steel.
The range, which in addition to rifle scope mounts and mounting parts also includes triggers, insertion barrels and the "ballistics" area, is subject to constant innovation and product improvement. If specific requirements and products are required, these are implemented - as far as possible - on direct request. Henneberger thus offers an absolutely customer-friendly service and practical solutions for every hunter or marksman.
