Hatsan BT65SB Elite Carnivore QE .30 / 7.62 mm PCP Air Rifle

Hatsan BT65SB Elite Carnivore QE is an advanced PCP air rifle from the Big Bore Carnivore series, featuring a Side Bolt cocking system, a QuietEnergy barrel with an integrated sound moderator, an adjustable Quattro Trigger, a removable 255 cc air cylinder, and a tactical stock with an adjustable cheekpiece and buttpad. This model is available in the following calibers: .30 (7.62 mm) and .35 (9 mm).

SB - (Side Bolt), a model with the cocking lever positioned on the side of the breech. The side bolt allows fast, convenient cycling, while its placement helps the shooter maintain a stable position during recreational and sport shooting.

QuietEnergy - a fully shrouded barrel system with an integrated sound moderator that, according to the manufacturer, reduces the report by approximately 50%. This design enhances shooting comfort and preserves a compact factory configuration without the need to install an additional moderator.

Barrel - a precision rifled and choked barrel measuring 23" (585 mm), fully enclosed in the QuietEnergy shroud system. The narrowing at the muzzle, known as choking, improves pellet guidance and helps achieve tight groupings. Barrel quality is one of the most important elements of any air rifle, as it directly affects accuracy and shot-to-shot consistency.

Power source - powered by compressed air from a removable aluminum cylinder with a capacity of 255 cc, filled to 200 bar. The built-in pressure gauge allows the shooter to monitor the air pressure inside the cylinder and, therefore, its fill level. Once depleted, the cylinder can be removed and replaced with a spare, pre-filled tank. The set includes a quick-fill connector and a plug for safely depressurizing the cylinder.

Stock - made from durable, advanced polymer. The ergonomic design with a pistol grip and thumbhole provides secure control of the air rifle. The adjustable cheekpiece and adjustable rubber buttpad allow the fit to be tailored to the shooter’s build and the type of optic being used. An accessory rail is located at the front of the stock, while the buttstock includes storage space for spare magazines.

Mounting rail - the combined 11 mm / 22 mm rail allows an optical sight to be mounted using dovetail or Weaver / Picatinny mounts. This solution increases the rifle’s versatility and makes it easier to select the appropriate optic.

Magazine - detachable, rotary magazine designed for the large calibers of the Big Bore Carnivore series. Magazine capacity is 7 pellets in .30 caliber (7.62 mm) and 6 pellets in .35 caliber (9 mm). The Elite version is supplied with additional magazines, making longer shooting sessions easier without frequent pellet reloading.

Trigger and safety - the air rifle is equipped with an adjustable, two-stage Quattro Trigger, allowing the trigger pull to be tuned to the user’s preference. The manual safety helps prevent an unintended shot. The design also includes a system that prevents more than one pellet from being loaded into the barrel, as well as a patented anti-knock system, which helps reduce the risk of uncontrolled air discharge in the event of impact or shock.

Sights - this model is equipped with adjustable Truglo fiber-optic sights. The rear and front sights make it easier to acquire the sight picture quickly, while the adjustable design allows the settings to be tailored to the user’s preferences.

Elite set - the air rifle is supplied in an expanded configuration with accessories. The set includes an Optima 3-12x44 AOE riflescope with mount, bipod, tactical flashlight, carrying sling, additional magazines, and a rigid polymer transport case.

Hard Case - the air rifle is packaged in a professional polymer hard case. The interior protects the rifle and accessories from damage during storage and transport.

Each air rifle not exceeding 17 J is supplied by the manufacturer with a unique 17 J Energy Limit Certificate. The certificate is a document confirming the product’s compliance characteristics and, therefore, the legality of the air rifle under Polish regulations. Air rifles legally imported into the Polish market bear the marking of the exclusive distributor, Sharg.
