The Hatsan Mod 65 Air Rifle delivers serious power in .25 caliber for hunters and shooters demanding knockdown performance from a spring-piston platform. This break-barrel design generates velocities up to 650 fps with heavy pellets, providing the energy needed for pest control and small game hunting at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Unlike lighter caliber air rifles, the Mod 65's .25 caliber bore produces significantly more foot-pounds of energy per shot. The spring-piston powerplant eliminates the need for external air sources or CO2 cartridges, while the SAS (Shock Absorber System) reduces felt recoil by up to 50% compared to standard spring rifles. The Turkish walnut stock provides a classic appearance with modern manufacturing precision.
Key Features
- Break-barrel spring-piston action generates up to 650 fps with .25 caliber pellets
- SAS Shock Absorber System reduces recoil and vibration for improved accuracy
- Turkish walnut stock with checkered grip areas and rubber buttpad
- Adjustable TruGlo fiber optic front and rear sights
- 11mm dovetail rail accepts standard airgun scopes and optics
- Anti-bear trap safety prevents accidental barrel closure during loading
- Rifled steel barrel with precision crown for consistent pellet flight
Field testing shows the Mod 65 maintains consistent accuracy at ranges beyond typical backyard plinking distances. The .25 caliber pellets retain energy effectively for humane pest elimination and small game harvesting. The break-barrel design allows for single-shot precision, while the spring-piston system functions reliably in various weather conditions without temperature-sensitive gas systems.
