Air rifles produced by the Turkish firearms manufacturer Hatsan have been popular among Polish sport shooters for years thanks to the capabilities offered within their price range. The Optima by Hatsan brand provides the same excellent price-to-quality ratio resulting directly from its manufacturing solutions. Extensive production capabilities allow all components to be made in a single factory, ensuring each rifle is built from scratch under the close supervision of Hatsan specialists.
The rifle features a QE (Quiet Energy) precision rifled barrel 370 mm long, fitted with an integrated sound moderator that reduces the shot noise by -50% without decreasing energy or balance. The spring is cocked by classic “barrel breaking”, widely regarded as the most convenient and practical method. The Anti Bear-Trap Safety system protects against accidental spring release during cocking, eliminating the risk of hand or facial injury.
The polymer stock features a contoured pistol grip that enhances comfort and control. The tactical-style stock is equipped with a raised, symmetrical cheek piece, allowing comfortable shooting for both right- and left-handed users. Longitudinal texturing on the fore-end and grip improves handling and emphasizes the rifle’s modern design. The ventilated rubber butt pad effectively absorbs recoil energy and provides a stable support point.
TruGlo fiber-optic sighting devices make aiming easier and faster, especially in low-light conditions. The 11 mm rail with a stop pin hole allows mounting of a selected optical device. One of the greatest advantages of the Optima by Hatsan Zada is its low weight of 2.57 kg, allowing women and younger shooters to use it comfortably. Protection against accidental discharge is ensured by a manual and automatic safety.
Optima by Hatsan Zada 5,5 mm is a lightweight rifle for recreational shooting and an excellent choice as a first air rifle for younger users.
