About the Hatsan BT65
The Hatsan BT65 is a Turkish pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle produced by Hatsan Arms Company and offered in .177, .22 and .25 caliber. In .25 (6.35mm) it feeds from a 9-shot removable rotary magazine and is charged from a detachable 255cc air cylinder to a 200 bar fill, delivering muzzle velocities up to roughly 1125 FPS and around 65 ft-lbs of energy. It uses a bolt-action cocking system, an adjustable two-stage Quattro match trigger, an elevation-adjustable cheekpiece, and (on QuietEnergy models) an integrated sound moderator, making it a popular pest-control and hunting airgun.
Hatsan, founded in 1976 near Izmir, Turkey, grew from a shotgun maker into one of the world's largest airgun manufacturers, and the BT65 was among the PCP platforms that established the brand in the high-power hunting-airgun market.
