Air rifle Optima by Hatsan 95 5.5 mm

 Optima by Hatsan 95 STG 5.5 mm is one of the most popular spring‑powered air rifles on the market, featuring an elegant walnut wood stock, an adjustable Quattro trigger mechanism, and the SAS recoil reduction system.

Optima air rifles are produced by the Hatsan brand while maintaining the same parameters and technological solutions.

Air rifles manufactured by the Turkish firearms producer Hatsan have been popular among shooters for many years thanks to the capabilities they offer within their price range. The Optima by Hatsan brand offers the same excellent price‑to‑quality ratio, which directly results from the solutions used in the production process. The manufacturer’s vast capabilities allow every component to be produced in a single factory, meaning the air rifles are built from the ground up under the careful supervision of Hatsan specialists.

Elegant stock

The ergonomic stock is made from selected walnut wood. A durable oil finish protects the wood from wear and moisture while giving it a warm brown color with a matte finish. Decorative checkering on the pistol grip and the front part of the stock improves grip and gives the rifle an elegant style. Recoil after the shot is effectively absorbed thanks to a soft rubber butt pad, which also provides a stable support point. Due to its size and weight (3800 g), the rifle is intended for adult and experienced users.

Convenient loading

The spring is cocked by the classic “break‑barrel” method, the most commonly used system in spring air rifles due to its simple and convenient operation. Optima by Hatsan 95 STG 5.5 mm fires 5.5 mm diabolo pellets loaded directly into the barrel.

Powerful and accurate

Accuracy and shot consistency are ensured by a rifled barrel with a length of 450 mm, allowing tight groupings even after a short period of training. The fired pellet reaches a maximum muzzle velocity of about 200 m/s (below 17 J), enabling accurate shooting at distances of 40–50 m. The enlarged compression chamber allows for user tuning, which can increase the pellet’s muzzle velocity.

SAS recoil reduction system

The rifle uses the patented SAS (Shock Absorber System), which absorbs a significant portion of the energy generated during firing. The SAS system increases shooting comfort, extends the service life of internal mechanisms, and protects optical devices from shock.

Adjustable Quattro Trigger mechanism

One of the most important elements affecting accuracy is the trigger mechanism. In the Optima by Hatsan 95 STG 5.5 mm model, the manufacturer used a two‑stage match Quattro Trigger, allowing the shooter to individually adjust the length of the first stage and the trigger pull weight. A wide adjustment range improves shot control and increases accuracy and shooting comfort.

Automatic safety

Safety is the most important aspect of shooting, therefore after cocking the spring (“breaking the barrel”) the automatic safety is engaged, preventing an uncontrolled shot. Before firing, the safety must always be disengaged. It is conveniently located at the rear of the compression chamber, allowing easy operation even without disturbing the aiming process.

Fiber‑optic sighting devices

The rifle is equipped with high‑quality fiber‑optic sighting devices, consisting of a fixed front sight and a rear sight adjustable vertically and horizontally. Fiber‑optic rods in contrasting colors (green and red), thanks to their high light absorption, significantly speed up alignment of the front and rear sight. If you want to try shooting at longer distances, you can also mount a chosen optical device on the 11/22 mm rail. The rail features stop‑pin holes that eliminate the problem of “zero shift”.
