Hatsan USA Hydra QE

The Hydra QE features Hatsan’s patented Versi-Cal Technology, an interchangeable-caliber system that allows a user to trade calibers with a single thumbscrew. The VCT system couples a caliber-specific receiver and barrel into a single interchangeable module. Now, a user can switch out the receiver and barrel, enabling the use of another caliber, without disturbing the scope. A knurled screw located at the rear of the receiver locks the upper module onto the lower receiver, allowing these caliber changes in just a few seconds. The Hydra QE also utilizes Hatsan’s S/Roto Index magazine system, a caliber-specific self-indexing rotary magazine made from a lightweight-yet-durable synthetic polymer. Each module features Hatsan’s QuietEnergy shrouded barrel that reduces downrange noise by up to 50 percent.

The Turkish walnut stock is laser engraved with ample texturing on critical grip surfaces that enhance the feel and control of the rifle. A fixed 165cc air cylinder fills to 2,900 psi, providing up to 35 shots. Weighing in at just 6.8 pounds, this modular platform airgun will be easy to carry and shoot. The Hatsan Hydra is available in .177, .22, or .25 caliber. Additional barrel/receiver modules are available separately. SRP: starts at $499.99. (hatsanusa.com)
