"Hatsan 70" is a new generation pneumatic weapon. Currently, the development is in great demand in the domestic market. In particular, novice hunters often resort to sample exploitation.
The popularity of the rifle is due to the budget price, quite high tactical and technical indicators, attractive design. The Hatsan 70 rifle proves that affordable cost does not always mean poor quality.
About the manufacturer
HATSAN is a reputable Turkish small arms company. Under this brand, truly worthy samples of pneumatic and firearms are produced annually.
The company has been operating in the international market for over 80 years. Unlike numerous manufacturers of small-caliber weapons, in particular domestic enterprises, which operate according to old, proven schemes, Hatsan is constantly working to create new, modernized variations of weapons.
The company's production is based on the use of innovative technologies and high-quality raw materials. In the process of manufacturing pneumatic components, company specialists rely on automated three-dimensional design systems. All this contributes to high-quality assembly and extremely accurate fitting of weapon elements.
Design Features
The manufacturer of the Hatsan 70 rifle announces its development as follows:
- The presence of automatic and manual fuses.
- Platoon is made by fracture of the barrel.
- The use of a rifled barrel made of high strength steel.
- Descent with the ability to adjust according to the individual needs of each individual user.
- Entirely adjustable both vertically and horizontally.
- Ergonomic, thoughtful design of a bed made of synthetic materials. Convenient, raised emphasis under the user's cheek.
- An effective recoil damping system made in the form of an elastic rubber recoil pad.
- A comfortable pistol grip with notches that provide reliable fixation of weapons in the hands during aiming and firing.
Butt
Air Hatsan 70 has a stock made of modern, high-strength plastic. Despite the fact that classic rifle models made of natural wood are in high demand, the sample still deserves the attention of shooters, as it has a really attractive look.
The use of plastic helps to lighten weapons. Subject to the generally accepted rules of operation, avoiding serious shock loads, the rifle is able to serve for quite some time.
Sights
"Hatsan 70" contains the familiar front sight and sighting bar. The surface of the latter is covered with multi-colored, fiberoptic threads. This solution greatly facilitates pointing to objects, especially in conditions of insufficient visibility.
Ammunition
Hatsan 70 fires lead bullets of 4.5 mm caliber. The initial speed of departure of the cartridge is about 300 m / s. This, in turn, opens up the opportunity not only for successful target shooting, firing at tin cans and glass bottles, but also allows you to successfully hunt small game. In general, small-caliber ammunition is intended for recreational and sports shooting.
Spring "Hatsan 70"
The comparative disadvantage of a rifle in the basic assembly is the use of a weakened coil spring. When the trigger is removed, the structural element often flies out. However, the kit often contains a reinforced spring, which is attached to the weapon when purchased. Therefore, if you have certain skills, you can fix the problem yourself by replacing the feature.
Fuse
The specific design of the fuse is one of the greatest advantages of the Hatsan 70 rifle. Responses of owners who have already managed to test weapons in action, indicate its extremely convenient location. A fuse is installed here in the back plate of the cylinder. Thus, the element is always at the user's hand, which makes it possible to quickly prepare the rifle for a shot and instantly switch to the mode of preventing accidental descent.
Raising the fuse instantly blocks the movement of the piston mechanism of the weapon. Therefore, its movement to the lower position makes it possible to immediately fire in the presence of ammunition in the chamber.

Modifications
The rifle "Hatsan 70" is presented on the domestic market in several modifications. The classic version is presented in black with a plastic butt. The Hatsan CAMO model has a similar construction and design. The only difference is the design of the body under the โforest camouflageโ. As for the modified sample "Hatsan 70 MW", the latter is equipped with a stock made of natural wood, and is the most attractive option in a series of air rifles from a Turkish manufacturer.
Trigger setting
Like other small-caliber rifles, the presented sample opens up great opportunities for the user to customize the trigger stroke for personal needs. The operation is performed due to the adjustment of a special bolt, which is located under the trigger.
To reduce travel, the latch is rotated in a clockwise direction. To increase the parameter, the adjustable bolt is moved counterclockwise. Unfortunately, the setting allows you to change only the trigger stroke length. However, it does not provide an opportunity to enhance the descent. However, such a comparative disadvantage does not affect the usability of weapons at all, since the descent here is itself quite soft and predictable.
Disassembly
Small-caliber rifles require fairly frequent maintenance. Hence the need for disassembling weapons. The procedure is performed in the following sequence:
- The pin is unscrewed, which connects the recoil pad with the fuse elements.
- The screw that secures the block to the cylinder is removed. It contains a slot for a screwdriver, instead of a recess under the hexagon, which is typical for most air rifles. The operation is performed slowly and extremely carefully, because otherwise there is a high probability of damage to the slot.
- The pin is carefully knocked out, which is responsible for fixing and centering the trigger block.
- Next, the block is removed by moving towards the butt plate. Care should be taken, since the force of the spring in most cases is sufficient for the trigger nut to fly out and be lost irretrievably.
- Finally, the piston of the rifle is removed. Usually the latter is heavily clogged with grease. Therefore, you should act carefully. To stretch the traction part of the element, it is necessary to remove the barrel block.
- Assembling a rifle is carried out in the reverse order, which is desirable to remember, or even better to write on paper.
Rifle charging
To prepare for the shooting, hold the rifle with one hand on the barrel, and the other take the base. If the fuse has previously been switched to a mode that excludes the firing of a shot, the element will switch to the opposite position when charging.
When charging, the rifle breaks in half. One bullet is placed in the chamber. The weapon is in the closed position. Then you can remove the fuse and shoot freely.
Finally
How effective is the Hatsan 70 rifle? Owner reviews confirm that the sample is the best option for users unfamiliar with small arms. The model does not require refinement and demonstrates acceptable performance in the factory assembly. At the same time, when buying a rifle, it is always recommended to check its functionality once again, since fakes are often found on the domestic market.
