An additional advantage of the design is the ergonomic stock shaped for a secure grip, making aiming easier. The precise 360 mm rifled barrel with a steel core is equipped with an integrated suppressor, making it quiet and efficient.

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 Polish sport 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 resulting directly from the solutions used in the manufacturing process. The manufacturer’s extensive capabilities allow every part to be produced in a single factory, meaning the air rifles are created from scratch under the supervision of Hatsan specialists.

Features of the Optima by Hatsan Speedfire 4.5 mm air rifle:

• Barrel: Rifled, with an integrated sound suppressor, made of high‑quality steel.
• Stock: Ergonomic polymer stock with rubber inserts on the grip and a ventilated rubber recoil‑absorbing butt pad.
• RPM multi‑shot magazine: Quick loading capability, capacity of 12 pellets (4.5 mm).
• Modern technologies:
  • Quattro Trigger: A two‑stage adjustable trigger mechanism (adjustable pull weight and trigger travel) allowing users to customize trigger characteristics to improve accuracy and ease of shooting.
  • SaS™ (Shock Absorber System): A shock absorption system that reduces recoil generated during a shot in spring rifles. SaS™ extends the lifespan of the air rifle and reduces the negative impact on a mounted optical device.
  • Advanced sighting devices: TruGlo fiber‑optic sighting devices with contrasting fiber colors enable precise shooting even in low light. An open red front sight and a green rear sight adjustable vertically and horizontally.
  • Vortex Gas Piston®: A gas piston designed to power spring air rifles, providing smooth operation, reduced recoil, and improved accuracy.
  • Manual / automatic safety: An automatic safety located at the rear of the rifle’s cylinder prevents accidental firing. Its position allows intuitive thumb operation. To fire, the trigger lock must be disengaged by pressing the safety – the mechanism automatically activates each time the spring is cocked.
• Scope mounting capability: Dual mounting rail compatible with optical devices thanks to 11 and 22 mm rails.
• EZ‑Load Action System: fast loading and cocking of the rifle.
• Specification:
  • Caliber: 4.5 mm.
  • Total length: 1243 mm.
  • Barrel length: 360 mm.
  • Muzzle energy: up to 17 J.
  • Weight: 3600 g.
  • Stock: polymer.

Optima by Hatsan Speedfire 4.5 mm air rifle — a precise gas‑piston air rifle

A recognizable feature of Optima rifles is their high shooting energy — the fired pellet easily penetrates bottles, cans, boards, or even thin pieces of metal. At the same time, it is perfectly suitable for target shooting, providing good grouping and repeatability.

The rifle uses a Vortex gas piston responsible for smooth operation, reduced recoil, and improved accuracy. The Vortex Gas Piston system is based on a pneumatic cylinder in which a gas mixture is used instead of a steel spring.

When the trigger is pulled, compressed gas drives the piston, which compresses air and propels the pellet. The Vortex system provides stable muzzle velocity and significantly longer pneumatic system lifespan compared to standard spring‑piston systems.

The most noticeable effect for the shooter is reduced recoil and rifle weight, lower vibration and shot noise, and less effort required to cock the barrel. Thanks to these properties, a rifle equipped with the Vortex piston operates smoothly and comfortably while offering above‑average precision and reliability.

Advantages of the Vortex Gas Piston system:

• Reduced vibration.
• Easier cocking cycle.
• Higher shooting precision.
• Consistent muzzle velocity for every shot.
• Longer pneumatic system lifespan.
• High efficiency in low temperatures.
• Reduced rifle weight.

Accuracy and long range of the Optima by Hatsan SpeedFire air rifle

Accuracy and shot consistency are ensured by the 360 mm rifled barrel, allowing consistent grouping even after a short training session. The fired pellet reaches a high muzzle velocity of up to 240 m/s (~16 J), enabling accurate shooting at longer distances.

Safe operation is the foundation of successful shooting

Safety is the most important aspect of shooting, which is why cocking the spring (“breaking the barrel”) automatically activates the safety, preventing accidental discharge. The safety must be disengaged before each shot, and it is conveniently located at the rear of the piston chamber. This allows easy disengagement without interrupting the aiming process.
