Hatsan Hydra Walnut Reviews

Real nice PCP air rifle. The barrel is simple to remove. I shoot this @ 45 yards. There is no recoil. I hit bullseye with about half inch groups or less. This sure beats a break barrel and is a great value for the money.

The bolt is a stiff some times . A drop of oil helps. I still think it could use improvement .

I started to fill air chamber with a PCP hand pump. That did not work for me. I bought a PCP compressor and fill air chamber @ 200 bar and ready to shoot!!

I like the gun its nice

I would change shock screw because you stand a chance of drilling to for in the action of the barrel causing the borehole for the screw to hit the action making it hard to chock the guns action the metal from the borehole for the screw I would weld a nut on the bottom of the action so it would not cause a problem in the future

A better quality control on Hassan product

Beautiful rifle. Price: bought it on sale. Hits hard and accuracy is excellent 25-35 yards so far. Velocities are at or greater than advertised.

Nothing at this point in time

The bolt feels gritty. I hope is smoothes out over time. I did clean and relubed the bolt.

Not a thing

Put air in

Can't put air in

My son stopped shooting it, or at least the .177 barrel, he got bored; put crosshairs on smallest spinner and carefully pull trigger, and he hit it every time at 25 yards. Accuracy isn't an issue as long as you do your part You can swap uppers to shoot the caliber you want, and the sights/scope *stay sighted in (mostly) It's a great value for what it is, has a good trigger and overall pleasing design And funnily enough, the .25 is the quietest of it's calibers as it can push even heavy .177 and lighter .22 supersonic at full charge Other than the supersonic rounds, you can shoot this in the back yard without someone in the front yard noticing or disturbing the neighbors.

The bolt... The bolt... Did I mention the bolt? I understand that having a swappable top is the cause, separating the breach and bolt connected through a pin, which leads to off centered force But, like bullpups and their notorious triggers, it comes with the design, but could be much better by fixing the slack in the bolt race and loosely held bolt hand (it has 15 degrees of rotation/wiggle) Overall it functions other than annoyance

It's a tradeoff, you save money with not buying a new gun for each caliber, a great beginner gun or all around plinker and I'm sure it could benefit from tuning Also tends to like heavier .177 and .22 pellets

The gun arrived and is beautiful. The accuracy is good and the trigger was perfect out of the box and not pellet picky. I didn't have luck with slugs but I only tried the 17.5 NSAs.

The bolt action is gritty and hard to cock, maybe after some usage that will cure itself. The gun needs a little more power in my opinion and a barrel band would be great. I adjusted the hammer spring and it was better. It came only shooting 20 fpe now with H&N terminators I get 32 fpe and with FX 25.4 I get 35 fpe.

You will need high dovetail scope rings to clear the magazine or the expensive adjustable FX rings.

Fantastic wood stock - fit and finish really good !!

The design of the bolt - the lever became loose after several shots - likely a result of the cocking pressure required to cycle bolt back and forth ? [ the lever is secured to bolt with a set screw ]

This was my first HATSON PCP [ 25 Cal. ] I have a 30 cal. and 25 cal. break barrel and they are very nice to say the least - the PCP however looks great , shoots true and super quiet but would not hold air , the fitting provided to fill the chamber does not fit the hose on my " air gun compressor " ? and the bolt action was not smooth , You really have to push it hard and then " lock it in battery or lock open for cocking / loading . Sorry for poor review ! I really wanted to like this rifle ! As a final thought - I am not sure the " multi " caliber / barrel change out option provided is better than purchasing a rifle in the caliber You want to shoot !

I am new to pcp but not new to break barrels. I liked the traditional design of the stock and polished bolt

Everything! The stock was nice visually but the cheek piece is less than desirable bolt is stiff as others have stated not a huge deal though. I gave one star on accuracy even though I never got to shoot (showed up with zero pressure)because of the horrible barrel read below Im very disappointed in the used damaged rifle I received. if it wasnt for not holding air I may have kept it and just complained about it. And I dont want to hear cycle the bolt and fill it a few times and shock it with pressure blah blah blah NO if you order a supposed new product it should be just that! It should function and work as described or change your description on your site to include you must first molest the product before the product can be used.

I ordered the hydra based on positive reviews and the visual appeal. However! Let me help you make no mistake. First off it showed up and appeared to have been an opened box item, the cap that protects the polished bolt handle was floating in the box and the bolt was scratched, the fill port bluing or paint whatever, is chipped. The rifle also showed up empty with no air. Borrowed a friends pump and over night from 1800 psi to 0 (as I am still waiting on the rest of my order. If you look at the pictures the muzzle seems to be perfectly parallel to the air cylinder, let me tell you this one is not. The muzzle touches the cylinder and subsequently as the rifle is shouldered emits a tuning fork note every time and that brings me to this horrible barrel that floats left to right up and down. If the barrel is lightly touched it changes the trajectory by just mm but down range you know that mm will turn into feet off target. I am pretty disappointed with my first ever order with pyramid air.

Nothing, bolt-action snapped off on about the 15th shot from the factory.

Sell unbroken products that actually work. Wasted 3 months of time for a broken piece of crap.

DO NOT BUY, SAVE YOUR $$$

Wood stock, powerful, multiple caliber In one useable platform, easy to fill with hand pump.

More shots, regulator is the only thing I would add.

Great gun to add to your collection or a good bug out rifle with multiple caliber for survival. Solid hunter.

This is my go to pellet gun. Shoots best with 18gr JSB, JSB 16gr coming in a strong second, and Seneca 28gr is also a great shooter out of the Hydra. The Hydra is a very sleek looking pellet gun and looks great.

Not a thing.

If you are looking for a great shooting, good looking pellet gun. The Hydra is the pellet gun for you.

Looks, length overall ,action fairly smooth after being worked several reps.,but pad adjustment and the trigger is good.

Increase tank volume,more solid magazine engagement to receiver .

Quality feel mostly for entry level gun. Had days of shooting all kinds of pellets, 14.3 gran. all the way to 25 grn slugs. Only one that would shoot consistently well where h/n barracuda 21 grn never had a gun so finicky with ammo.

The Woodstock was finished very nice good checking for grip trigger was good

well built smooth action

nothing

if you are looking for a pcp air gun I would take a close look at this one

I like the look of the rifle overall. It is surprisingly accurate with the JSB Exact heavy ammo. I haven't put anything else thru it as of yet but plan to very soon. The rifle has a nice feel and it's weight is right where I like it.

A larger air cylinder would be nice and loose the plastic trigger guard.

The rifle is well worth the price and very accurate. I definitely recommend it. It's well made and the stock is a great piece of Turkish walnut. The checkering is excellent and provides a very secure grid.

Like the looks of the gun I like the weight

Cant think of anything just had it a little over a week

Very accurate at 20 up to 50 yards Havent tried Passed that It gets around 24 good shots be for having to fill back up, Mines the 22 barrel Im going to buy the 25.

I really like the looks and the weight of the gun

I don’t know of anything right now

My Hatsan Hydra has the 22 barrel and Im gping to get the 25,but with the 22 I can get a good 24 shots out of it and at 20 to 35 yards and 12 shots I Can cover with a penny and at 50 12 shots can cover With a quarter It is a very nice gun.
