HatsanUSA Readies Hunters for Big Bore Hunting

Air rifle hunting has a storied history, dating back to Lewis and Clark’s famous expedition. Although the explorers had various firearms, an air rifle stood out and gained notoriety in their arsenal.

This long-standing tradition continues to evolve as air rifle hunting experiences a surge in popularity. Initially favored for small game and varmint hunting, companies like Hatsan are now venturing into big game hunting. While the typical hunting range with air rifles remains relatively short, innovations like the Hatsan PileDriver enable hunters to propel projectiles accurately up to 120 yards. This advancement eliminates the need for generating loud noises or the telltale scent of gunpowder, reducing the risk of frightening the game away from the hunting area.

While trekking to a hunting site or tracking an animal, size, and weight are always a concern. Coming in at under 4 feet – with a 33-inch precision rifled barrel – the PileDriver can provide up to 6 high-powered shots. Handling and overall length are exceptional compared to traditional alternatives, and weight is saved on transporting ammunition. With ammunition, an extra-large loading port can accommodate projectiles up to 35mm long, allowing for the use of a sabot. When out of charge, the PileDriver can be filled again to 300 BAR (4350 PSI) with a TactAir pump or compressor. The PileDriver’s unique, patented hammer design eliminates traditional steel coil springs in favor of a smoother, easier-to-cock, gas piston mechanism.

While the PileDriver is an unconventional hunting rifle, conventional operation and handling exist. A side lever cocking mechanism sits proudly at the top and protrudes to the right-hand side. PileDriver’s receiver is finished with a 14-inch-long combination Picatinny and 11mm dovetail optics rail perfect for an Optima scope. The stock alone is all-weather and has a bullpup design featuring an ergonomic pistol grip with textured grip surfaces for enhanced feel and control. Additional Picatinny rails are added around the air cylinder for adaptability to any large game hunting scenario.

Overall, the PileDriver is considered a unique option for hunting large game. Every detail has been planned, and options accounted for to make this a more than suitable and vastly preferred performer in the hunting world. Size, projectile options, ease of use, and mobility guarantee the PileDriver will find a place while tracking game or in the blind.
