Hatsan Vectis Reviews

Lever Action, accurate

Nada

It's lightweight feeling and the underlever cocking is sweet and smooth very fun for quick follow-up shots.

I would have made the moderator system actually moderate some type of sound and I would have made it have a little bigger air cylinder so it could have had a more shots.

It's kind of loud it doesn't get a lot of shots and I left this to the last of the review to say that the one I received had a bad barrel or something cuz....... it was very inaccurate but I believe that was just the the one I got..... I did send it back and get a refund ....but the time I did have it I did like it and since then a friend of mine has gotten another one that is accurate and it's a fun gun.

What I like about the vectis .25 cal is the short throw under lever for quick fallow up shots.

Make the vectis lighter an get rid of the all the plastic.

hatsan vectis .25 get the job done target practice and hunting squirrels&rabbits.

Very quiet and plenty of power to deal with the squirrels that have invaded our garden. Also great for plinking with polymer targets around the house. Lots of shots on a charge (at least ~40) and not too awful to pump up with a manual pump.

No way to unload without shooting a chambered pellet. No way to know if a pellet is chambered without opening action, which allows the next pellet to index in the magazine, meaning you will now double feed that pellet or need to remove the magazine before closing the action. This makes it less than ideal for pest control. Sights are very visible but very large and not ideal for precision work. Will likely be adding a scope.

I bought this rifle for the lever action and iron sights, wanting something simple and effective for pest control with fast follow up shots. It fits the bill for this type of work, although the sights are a bit large for humane shots at a distance and the chambered-round issue discussed above is a bit frustrating. I was also curious if it had the power to cause a sufficient reaction with a color changing polymer target. The power and color change response are on par with a .22 LR, so definitely a success there.

Haven't figured out what I like about this gun yet. Haven't been able to sight it in with the sights that come with the gun.

Out of the box the sights are way off. The gun shoots 6 to 8 inches low and can't be adjusted anymore. The elevation is maxed out . Doesn't have any more adjustment. I bought this because I wanted to use open sights, but now I have to buy a scope or red dot. I would think that they test the gun before boxing it and selling it. There is no way this was tested.

My favorite thing is its lever action! This is a fun powerful low-mid range hunting gun and I mean by animal size nutria, raccoon, fox javelina. I personally would shoot to 75 yards which is just me not the gun. Faster recovery shots than bolt action. Open sights work great and they are removable.

Make it lighter, its not bad though. My wife likes it but again could be lighter. Im not sure if its regulated so if not it should be. Shot count could be better.

Get a case, this box it comes in will last a little while though.

I like the price and leveraction.

The barrelshroud.

You need high Weaver type scope fittings because of magazine and the wobbly dovetail rail.

Love this rifle accurate well balanced and quite a punch fps.

Nothing

Buy extra mags and read instructions.

Very accurate ! No recoil at all. This gun shoots as good with cheap hardware store wad cutter, round nose, and hollow point .22 pellets as pricey bronze tip hornets do. Not a picky eater so far. Hits hard. About 90 pumps to fill by hand. The stock design points well for a left handed shooter like me. Decent trigger out of the box. Light flicks work the lever action. Not a long stroke like a Winchester lever, just a nice little movement - about 1/2 of a Winchester style rifle. I like it.

Too much tacti-plastic styling for my taste. A better moderator would be nice. The moderator is not really good at moderating & looks kinda strange. Not backyard friendly at all. A pretty good bang. I chopped mine off & put a DonnyFL moderator on the barrel threads already on the Vectis. The whack of the hammer & the clank of the target are the only sounds you hear now. The plastic folding sights did not work so well for me. Something made from metal would be better. I put an old Center Point 6x18 x40mm I had laying around on some med height rings & it works well.

Worth the price of admission for sure ! Shoots way better than I was expecting in this price range. Destroys the little metal rams, pigs, and chickens with both Crosman Premier's 14.3 gr round nose and hollow point pellets. Get a compressor. This thing is fun !

My first air rifle in 15 years or so and also my first PCP. I've had it two weeks and it feels like a great value. The cocking handle and overall build quality is a hard durable plastic. I've shot .25 cal FX slugs and Diabolo pellets so far and both are very accurate between 10-25 yards. The magazines load and chamber well. The gun holds its pressure (2 weeks so far holding 200bar). Really enjoy it! My wife is asking for one that is a bit lighter to hold, it can tire you out if not using a rest.

The iron sights aren't secure and wobble a few millimeters when the gun moves around. They are tight to the rail, but the fiber part itself flexes to much. The moderator at the end doesn't help much and the gun is very loud. I shot it once and put it away until I got a custom silencer to quiet it down to be backyard friendly. With the new sights and moderator it feels like a complete gun.

power, & accuracy

nothing, it's awesome

add a regulator and that would complete this gun

For the short amount of time I've owned the Vectis it's been a ton of fun, with a few minor bumps in the road. It's lever action fun and has big time power in the .25 caliber which is what I purchased! Obliterates anything in its path!

Here is what is keeping this gun from being perfect: #1) if you are using this gun as a less lethal option for home defense, then do know that the only way to keep the gun ready to fire at a moments notice is to have it cocked which means the gun is constantly "charged" the entire time thus potentially causing wear to inner seals when not in use. The ONLY way to avoid this is to have the magazine detatched from the gun until needed -OR- the alternative I am doing is loading the magazine, having the gun cocked, then firing the first pellet (thus wasting it) and only THEN it's ready to cock again if needed for self defense. #2) The gun came with copious amount of spare O-Rings but the instructions say zilch about where they go to or how to change them out. #3) WHY DOESN'T THE MANUL STATE HOW TO DECOCK THE GUN?? Spent an hour of googling to find out how to decock it and this should be included in the instructions! C'mon Hatsan! #4) THE GUN IS AN AIR HOG. Prepare to refill every 3rd mag!!!

The last thing I'll mention is the rear sight that came with the gun had parts come loose almost immediately due to perhaps bad craftsmanship from the factory. I reached out to Hatsan and a replacement was sent hassle-free.

Accurate, easy follow up shots with very little practice. Impact on racoons truly hard hitting and deadly.

Instructions on loading magazines is not super easy to understand. YouTube video extremely helpful.

Worth the money....easily.

Super easy lever action. Accurate out of box.

It's loud and although you can modify it to accept a suppressor it will void the warrenty. Magazines could be better.

Lots of fun to shoot. Uses lots of air so shot count between fills is small. Fill adapter does not come with a foster fitting.

smooth easy action repeater.

Not crazy about the air stripper look, The Square end seems kind of hinky. It does however absolutely work great It would be great if there were an extra mag holder built into the stock

It feels good, easy to shoot and lots of fun.

Very Accurate, easy to manage and no kick.

Better instructions on the magazine or change the color or add a line to ensure you are loading the pellets and putting it in the barrel correctly.

Went hunting with this gun and dispatched various small game. Very good for just target shooting to 50 yards with the right ammo.

Readability of the BUIS is nice. It has held 200 Bar for two weeks before I tried to shoot this gem.

Ii could NOT get the magazines to function -- It's probably me. The instructions aren't clear enoujgh for me; and, I'm too old to get this by osmosis. I think the 4 star accuracy rating I gave was because my mind was blown because the mags messed up on me. For me my Hatsan Vectis Lever action (repeater) is a single shot. I couldn't get all the pellets out of the mags without breaking them. I haven't broke them yet -- what's the cost of a few pellets, compared with mags?

Maybe the above should go here.

Lever action, quick, easy accurate and powerful.

A little loud, and more metal showing

Got the 25 cal, very accurate with the gold tip hornets.

The magazine, it always has trouble lining up when cocking.

It can reach out and wack woodchucks the Stormrider I purchased can't. Fast follow up shots. Good shot groups.

Why did they even try to fake a moderator, it's useless... Not backyard friendly, but, DILLIGAF ? Should have just had the barrel end threads covered w/ a finishing cap

A bit on the heavy side to lug around all day, w/ a scope, and bipod.
