FEATURES

1. Design and Construction

• Walnut Stock: The Mod 65 features a beautifully crafted Turkish walnut stock, which is known for its durability, strength, and classic appearance. The wood grain and finish of the stock give the rifle a luxurious look, making it a standout piece in any collection.
• Adjustable Thumbhole Stock: The stock includes an adjustable thumbhole design, which allows for a more ergonomic grip and better control. The thumbhole stock also helps reduce shooter fatigue during extended shooting sessions, providing a more comfortable and stable shooting experience.
• Adjustable Cheekpiece: The rifle’s stock is equipped with an adjustable cheekpiece, allowing shooters to customize the height to their preference. This feature is particularly useful when using optics, ensuring that the shooter can achieve a proper cheek weld for consistent aiming.

2. Caliber and Ammunition

• .177 Caliber: The Mod 65 is chambered in .177 calibre, which is the most popular calibre for air rifles. This calibre is favoured for its high velocity and flat trajectory, making it ideal for target shooting, plinking, and small game hunting.
• Pellet Compatibility: The .177 calibre is compatible with a wide range of pellets, allowing shooters to choose the best ammunition for their specific needs, whether for accuracy, penetration, or velocity.

3. Powerplant and Performance

• Spring-Piston Powerplant: The Hatsan Mod 65 utilizes a spring-piston mechanism. When the rifle is cocked, a coiled spring is compressed, and when the trigger is pulled, the spring is released, propelling the piston forward to shoot the pellet. This system is known for its simplicity, reliability, and consistent power.
• Velocity: The .177 calibre version of the Mod 65 can achieve velocities up to 1000 feet per second (fps) with lead pellets. This high velocity is suitable for both small-game hunting and precise target shooting.
• Precision Rifled Barrel: The rifle features a precision-rifled steel barrel, which is essential for maintaining accuracy. The rifling stabilizes the pellet as it travels down the barrel, resulting in consistent and accurate shot placement.

4. Trigger and Safety Features

• Quattro Trigger: The Mod 65 is equipped with Hatsan’s Quattro trigger system, which is a fully adjustable two-stage trigger. This allows shooters to adjust the trigger pull weight and length to their preference, providing a crisp and clean trigger break that enhances accuracy.
• Automatic Safety: The rifle has an automatic safety that engages every time the rifle is cocked, preventing accidental discharge. This is a critical feature for ensuring safe operation, especially in high-stress situations such as hunting.
• Anti-Beartrap Mechanism: The rifle also includes an anti-beartrap mechanism, which prevents the rifle from firing if the barrel is not fully closed and locked in place, adding an extra layer of safety.

5. Sights and Optics

• Fiber Optic Sights: The Mod 65 comes with TruGlo fiber optic sights, which are adjustable for windage and elevation. These sights provide a bright and clear aiming point, even in low light conditions, making them ideal for quick target acquisition.
• Scope Mounting: The rifle is equipped with an integrated dovetail rail for mounting optics. Many users choose to add a scope to maximize the rifle’s accuracy potential at longer distances.

6. Usability

• Recoil and Noise: As a spring-piston air rifle, the Mod 65 generates some recoil, but it is manageable due to the weight and design of the rifle. The walnut stock helps absorb and distribute the recoil, making the shooting experience more comfortable. The rifle is also equipped with a muzzle brake or sound moderator, which helps to reduce noise, making it more suitable for backyard shooting.
• Balance and Handling: The Mod 65’s weight and balance, combined with the adjustable thumbhole stock, make it a stable and easy-to-handle rifle. These features contribute to better accuracy, especially when shooting off-hand or from unstable positions.

7. Applications

• Target Shooting: The accuracy and high velocity of the .177 caliber make the Mod 65 an excellent choice for target shooting. The adjustable trigger and sights, along with the ability to mount a scope, allow for precise shooting at various distances.
• Small Game Hunting: The power and accuracy of the Mod 65 in .177 caliber make it suitable for hunting small game such as rabbits, squirrels, and birds. The high velocity ensures good penetration, while the accuracy allows for humane shots.
• Plinking and Recreation: The Mod 65 is also a great choice for recreational shooting and plinking. Its comfortable design and adjustable features make it a pleasure to shoot, whether for fun or practice.

8. Maintenance

• Durability: The walnut stock and overall build quality of the Mod 65 ensure long-term durability. With proper care, including regular barrel cleaning and occasional lubrication of the moving parts, the rifle will remain in excellent condition for years.
• Ease of Maintenance: The rifle’s spring-piston system is relatively low maintenance, requiring only basic upkeep to ensure continued performance. The walnut stock may need occasional oiling to maintain its finish and prevent drying out.

9. Aesthetic Appeal

• Classic Look: The Hatsan Mod 65 with its walnut stock offers a classic and timeless look that appeals to traditionalists and those who appreciate fine craftsmanship. The wood grain and finish of the stock, combined with the rifle’s metalwork, make it not only a functional tool but also a beautiful piece to display.
