The Hatsan PileDriver .50 caliber big bore air rifle, is the most powerful production air rifle on the market. There are a handful of boutique small batch producers that are modifying guns for higher power, but this gun is a standard configuration out-of-the-box performer!

It’s also a lot more than power: Accuracy, ergonomics and a (relatively) high shot count of up to 5 shots per fill, this has turned out to be an awesome hunting gun!

On this trip I take the .50 caliber PileDriver down to the Daggett Ranch south of Fort Stockton Texas on a deer hunt, and spoiler alert, this gun performed flawlessly. Tossing a 445 grain chunk of lead at over 900 fpe (over 800 fpe), this gun lives up to its name!

The weather was cold, windy, and icy snow was forecast, so I used my little popup blind with built in seating and set up along a funnel point. As day broke, the deer came in and the action started!

Join me on this deer hunt as I efficiently and ethically fill my tag with a big bore airgun!
