HATSAN HERCULES 1000CC (67 J) PCP RIFLE, .22 CAL

By far, one of the largest HATSAN PCP rifles we've ever seen, the weightiest too. Everything on this rifle is XL.

Right off the bat, this rifle features a twin set of 500cc tanks, so altogether packing 1000cc or one cubic meter of air. These bottles are flat-based aluminium bottles and the rifle fills up to 250 BAR, which is really nice and maximizes out the shot count one potential from these bottles. Unlike other manufacturers, HATSAN has never rated any of their rifles for 300 BAR, so also bear this in mind.

The synthetic stock is bulletproof polymer, w/ subtle non-slip texture panels on the pistol grip and the forearm. The pistol grip itself is quite chunky, w/ a flared skirt at its base, to lend a more confident hold on the grip. Its flat base. The trigger guard is oversized and features alot of cross-sectional beef on its design
The trigger is steel (black oxidized) and has a lovely scallop design that pulls straight backward - a bit too nice for a beefy artillery gun like this, that feels more like an anti-materiel rifle 😂 - the trigger breaks crisp, with a little bit of first stage pull up, followed by a rocky second stage ascend, before this big bull's hammer releases and smashes the transfer port open. The sound this rifle makes when dry firing (w/out air), is already indicative of the sheer power this rifle truly wields.

The magazine is the rotary type (in this case, a whopping 14 shot metal one, that by the residual texturing, one can see it has been CNC milled)

The cocking lever is another wonder of this rifle - hinges out almost a complete 180° from its lock position - further indicating how hard the spring tension behind the hammer is.

The pressure gauge sits on the underbelly on the rifle, keeping your face, and head, safely away from the business end of the rifle.
In front of this, you would have the understock Picatinny rail, typically for a bipod and in this case, the rail is moulded into the stock and does not detach. Some sling hardware is fitted onto the rearmost of the stock, just ahead of the Butt pad and behind the said Picatinny rail.

The safety is a pendulum switch on the shoulder of the rifle, that isn't easily reached just by lifting one's thumb up the stock and toggling it - one will have to release the pistol grip, then proceed to toggle said switch. It has a barrel nub head that is coarsely knurled for easy handling and does positively 'click' when toggled, thanks to the ball bearing insert. There is a positive, super contrasting "F" and "S" that becomes apparent, depending on the mode switched to.

There are no open sights fitted / included with the rifle, so you'll need to fit an optic of your choice onto the top mount rail - this is both a dovetail as well as a Picatinny mounting interface, featuring 10x Picatinny slots to the rear (12mm rail length) and 4x to the front rail (both adjoin the breech where the magazine loads) though the slots here are irregularly spaced, though presumably designed with sound logic.

The 23"-barrel sports a QE shroud over, which acts to dampen a lot of the racket produced per shot fired and the removable end cap means that, with the appropriate silencer adapter, you can just add your own aftermarket silencer on top of that, if you need higher performance silence.

The buttstock is removable completely from the tank, it features a set of large coin-head screws that can be loosened to extend the Butt pad out, which is nifty. The butt pad is curved out and, by releasing the lock screw running down its middle, you can adjust the butt pad up or down, as it suits your personal ergonomy.

Other than that, this rifle is not really one for many bells and whistles - just a long distance, hard-hitting tank barrel of a rifle.
