Hatsan Piledriver .45 Big Bore PCP Air Rifle

Hatsan Piledriver .45 Big Bore PCP Air Rifle

The Hatsan Piledriver .45 is an extremely powerful Big Bore PCP air rifle designed for shooters looking for maximum energy and impressive performance. In 11.45 mm / .45 calibre, this version produces up to approximately 955 joules according to Hatsan.

The Piledriver combines this exceptional power with a large 480 cc carbon air cylinder, a maximum fill pressure of 300 bar and a long 890 mm precision barrel. Its compact bullpup-style configuration helps keep the rifle manageable despite its large calibre and substantial power.

955 Joules in .45 Calibre

The .45 version of the Piledriver is one of the most powerful PCP air rifles in the Hatsan range. Hatsan specifies a maximum energy of approximately 955 joules for this model.

This places the Piledriver firmly in the Big Bore category. It is designed for large, heavy projectiles where very high energy is required.

Suitable for Heavy and Long Projectiles

The Hatsan Piledriver features an extra-long loading chamber. This allows the rifle to accommodate longer and heavier slugs in addition to conventional Big Bore projectiles.

This is particularly useful in .45 calibre, where a variety of projectile weights and designs are available. Shooters can therefore test different ammunition to find a combination that performs well in their individual rifle.

Single-Shot Loading System

The Piledriver .45 uses a single-shot loading system. Each projectile is inserted directly into the loading chamber, after which the action is cocked using the long side-mounted bolt.

This simple and robust design is well suited to the large and heavy projectiles for which the Piledriver was developed.

480 cc Carbon Air Cylinder

The rifle is equipped with a large 480 cc carbon air cylinder. Carbon provides an excellent combination of high pressure resistance and relatively low weight.

The maximum fill pressure is 300 bar. According to Hatsan, the .45 version provides approximately 5 effective shots from a full fill, depending on conditions and the ammunition used.

Long Precision Barrel

The Hatsan Piledriver .45 features a long 890 mm rifled precision barrel. The long barrel helps make efficient use of the available air volume and provides plenty of length for accelerating heavy .45 projectiles.

The combination of the long barrel, large air reservoir and high-output valve system forms the basis for the exceptional energy produced by this model.

Adjustable Quattro Trigger

The Piledriver is equipped with Hatsan's well-known Quattro Trigger. This adjustable two-stage trigger system can be configured to better suit the shooter's personal preference.

A properly adjusted trigger is particularly valuable on a powerful Big Bore PCP, helping provide a controlled and predictable shot release.

Adjustable Synthetic Stock

The Piledriver features a robust synthetic bullpup stock with pistol grip. The cheek piece is adjustable, while the rubber butt pad can also be adjusted.

This allows the shooting position to be better adapted to the individual shooter and the optic being used.

Extensive Mounting Options

For mounting a scope, the Piledriver features a combined 11 mm dovetail and 22 mm Picatinny/Weaver rail. This provides compatibility with a wide selection of suitable scope mounts.

Several additional Picatinny accessory rails are positioned around the front section, allowing compatible accessories to be fitted.
