Hatsan’s Most Powerful Airgun Yet: The .62 Caliber PileDriver
HatsanUSA has once again raised the bar in the world of airguns with the introduction of its latest creation, the .62 Caliber PileDriver. Designed for high-powered hunting, this air rifle can deliver over 700 ft-lbs. of kinetic energy, making it a highly potent choice for hunters of all skill levels. The PileDriver is available in .45 and .50 caliber models, ensuring hunters have the versatility to take on any hunting scenario.
The bullpup design of the PileDriver offers hunters the perfect combination of compact size and ease of handling. The 33-inch barrel keeps the overall length under 4 ft, while the side-lever cocking mechanism is simple to operate, making it an ideal choice for hunters who are on the move. The 480 cc carbon fiber bottle provides up to 6 high-powered shots on a single fill, and the built-in pressure gauge and quick-fill nozzle make it easy to monitor pressure levels and refill the cylinder.
One of the most innovative features of the PileDriver is its patented hammer design. This design replaces traditional steel coil springs with a smoother gas piston mechanism for easier cocking. The top-loading single-shot rifle also features an extra-large loading port, capable of accommodating ammunition up to 34mm in length. The 14-inch scope rail is compatible with both Picatinny and 11 mm dovetail mounts, providing ample space for hunters to mount the optics of their choice. The high-strength steel barrel is precision rifled for long-range accuracy, and the adjustable 2-stage Quattro trigger allows hunters to customize the air rifle to fit their specific needs.
The all-weather synthetic bullpup stock is designed with an ergonomic pistol grip and textured grip surfaces, offering hunters enhanced feel and control. The adjustable soft rubber buttpad ensures controlled recoil and a comfortable fit, while the elevation adjustable cheek rest guarantees proper sight alignment with any optic. Additionally, the receiver of the PileDriver is anodized in black, and manual safety is included for added security.
In conclusion, the .62 Caliber PileDriver is an exceptional choice for big game hunting, delivering powerful performance and versatility in one package.
