About the manufacturer
Hatsan rifles are manufactured by the Turkish company of the same name. Officially, it began its activities in 1976 and during this time has managed to provide a full production cycle, expand the range of products. But the main problem of its products was quality - some models were simply dangerous for the consumer.
To strengthen their position in the airgun market, Hatsan has taken the following steps to improve the design of rifles:
- The presence of a new trigger mechanism. In fact, they copied it from a well-known English brand, changing only the name to Quattro Trigger.
- Vibration reduction system when shooting. The fastening of wooden elements to the trigger occurs with the help of a bushing, the design of which provides for a rubberized shock absorber. It partially extinguishes the reverse movement of the weapon during the shot.
- The minimum number of plastic parts. Additionally, the problem with overheated pins was solved. They often broke during maintenance of the rifle - partial or complete disassembly.
Given these positive changes and the affordable cost of models, Hatsan air rifles have occupied their niche and confidently hold a leading position in it. To select the best model, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the manufacturer's samples that are most popular.
