half inch at thirty yards with JSB 18.13 grain and sub one inch at fifty. second best Air Arms 18 gr. lever works great.

72 year old woman loves this gun!

This is an excellent rifle. Everything worked fine. Tested it at 30 yrds. Shot 30 shots at that range and all pellets hit the target with no problem. Installed a Hammers 6x32AO IR mildot scope on it and rifle still light. Well built. Tactical looking. Not backyard friendly. The action is smooth and easy. Magazines work fine. Love to see one in big bore.

The open sights are not good for precision target shooting.

Great product. First magazine shoots at an average of 861fps with 25.39gr pellet. Second magazine shoots at an average of 823fps and the third magazine shoots at an average of 767fps. With 26gr you get 40FPE at the muzzle on first shot.

I like everything on this rifle. Using 25.39gr JSB Exact King .25cal pellets I zeroed the rifle quickly at 30 yards using a Hammers 6x32AO mildot scope. I shot 55 pellets testing the rifle. The rifle is very accurate. First magazine shoots at an average of 861fps. Second magazine shoots at an average of 823fps and the third magazine shoots at an average of 767fps. You get 30 shots from 200bar down to 100bar. All shots were dead on at 30 yards. The rifle is light, compact, and well built. Lot of plastic on this rifle. Magazines work fine. Cocking is very light and easy.

The only negative I find on this rifle are the open sights. At 25 yards the open sight covers almost completely a 5 1/2in. square target. Can not see the bulls eye to shoot with precission. May work at close ranges 5yards to 10 yards.

You can shoot a pig in the brain with this rifle and kill it. The rifle is good quality and performs nicely out of the box. A little loud. Not back yard friendly.

Like the lever action nice short action seems very accurate and quiet

When I got the gun the box was damaged gun appeared to be okay filled with air and noticed a leak in the gun so maybe not packaging but shipping

Great gun for 50 yard maybe 75 but think it's pushing it

This is a great gun.lever action is perfect,great weight,shoulders great and is very accurate

Nothing but a quick connect fill

When you get it,you wont put it down

Lever action - its unique. Pop up sights. Long rail top rail - have not mounted scope yet but intend to mount high scope so can use sights and scope. Fiber optic dots in sights - quick to get on target with proper sight picture and alignment. Front post kind of big but would not trade fiber optic for smaller dot.

Add mounting points for sling. UYse a dust cover instead of plug for air charging inlet. Lever action is kind of mushy and wimpy. John Wayne would be calling out the Hatsan pilgrims for being lily livered.

Lever lock devise built into the lever came apart after less than 40 rounds. Not that critical for plinking but for hunting? A lot of jambing with Stoeger X- Power and X-Field with magazines and single shot tray. So much jambing I was going to call Smuckers. Less jambing with Crossman copper coated from magazine. No jambing with Crossman using single feed. Shot 140 rounds so still breaking in possibly. Good groups - shooting at 40 yards. 3/4" dot with iron sights is beyond my eyesight but tried it anyway and put most shots on paper. Gets about 25 good shots per air charge. Takes about 85 pumps with hand pump to fill. Trigger crisp out of box. Might adjust later. Good balance. Shoulders nicely.. Hand holds grippy but not rough. I would buy the 22 cal if I did it again - pellets are bigger for clumsy fingers.

Flip up sights with fiber optic line up dots. Lever action because it is old school throw back. Trigger is crisp right out of box. Have not adjusted yet. Fired first 75 shots so testing before adjusting.

Cocking lock mechanism at the end of the lever - after 60 shots, 1 of the locking balls feel out, the spring got all wonked and the other ball fell out when I took out the spring. Not sure it needs it for plinking, maybe for hunting. Not going send it back for repair.

Had 3 misfeeds from magazine in the first 5 magazine loads. Could have been because the cocking lock mechanism was crappin' out. If I was to do it again, I would get a larger cal - larger pellets have to be easier to load then .177 with clumsy fingers. Loading the magazine is a bit clumsy the first few times. Good sharp report when fully charged. Maybe not inner city friendly. Quiets down a bit after half dozen or so. Got 3 full magazines (42 shots) out of 1 charge. 3td magazine was all over the map but it was the first 42 shots so kind of expected some strike movement until broken in.

Light weight, magazine capacity, long pic rail bottom pic rail for toys. Lever action is great!

Longer gas tube for more shots, regulator would be nice Better moderator and or a means to add 3rd party moderstor

Not backyard friendly

Lever action. Fun! Fast cycling. Open sights are quiet nice with the fiber optic inserts. Composite all-round. Very hardy piece. I wouldn't be afraid to knock it around a bit, just don't bump the sights, they're plastic. Very light and narrow. Easy to maneuver and hold.

I would have included a sling. I also like removing my baffling from my QE rifles for some added 'pop' and I've not yet figured out how to do that with the Vectis. Change open sights from plastic to metal. I would have given it better marks on accuracy but...open sights.

I bought mine in .25 cal. Put about 100 rounds through it so far. The open sights are cool, very functional and fun...but only for close-range shooting. Will need a scope past about 30 yards or so. Super fun gun to shoot. The lever action definitely highlights that. Very light, narrow. Feels agile in your hands. The best attributes about the gun, I feel, are the lever action, open sights and lightweight and narrow.

Light very powerful lever action was a bit stiff but its slowly smoothing out.. The steel ball bearings that help it latch close popped out other then that have had no issues. I'm getting 3 real good mags before I top it off. Accuracy is outstanding I'm using a dot sight instep of scope at 20 to 50 yards and hitting every thing I shoot at. Gun feels real sturdy feels like it can take abuse well. Ive put over 500 pellets through it so far (crosman hollowpoints 7.9 and the gun just loves em. Don't know why people get the expensive pellets these work great for every gun I own which is close to 20 pcps and break barrels. Don't let anyone tell u these are crap pellets.. Any way gun is great had it now for 5 days works great.

Nothen as of now..

Great gun

Its the best rifle i own very accurate.

Nothing

Awesome PCP rifle I have the Benjamin Armada and the Hatsan Bull Boss but now the Hatsan Vectis is my new favorite PCP. I really like the lever action. I have a 22 Cal Henry and it’s a blast, and the Vectis is just as much fun but a lot cheaper to shot. It’s a little louder than I expected and although it has quieted down a bit some may question its back-yard friendliness. I don’t have a Decibel reader and my chrony is not working properly so I haven’t really “put the screws to it yet”, but I have shot 400 rounds through it in the 2 days since I received it. Not a single jam and every pellet went down range. Although I haven’t really tested the accuracy yet I did mount a CP red dot on it just to test the fun factor and consistently shot cans at 45 yards as fast as I could work the lever action. Did I say it’s fun to shoot? It’s light, ergonomic and easy on the eyes. I’m using the JSB Exact King .25 Cal 25.39 and there’s not question as to whether or not the can was hit. Hatsan states that its putting out somewhere around 40 FPE and by the sound of the pellet hitting that can I would have to say there’re spot on. I’m filling it with the Air Venturi Nomad 1. Inside 40 yards I can shoot 3-10 round mags and stay on target. When I get my chrony working, or buy another one, I’ll do some proper testing and get back to you. My opinion is that Hatsan knocked this one out of the park!

A manual would be nice. The manual that comes with the Vectis is not for the Vectis, it’s for the Hatsan Flash. I don’t know why Hatsan did this other than to wait and see if this PCP was going to be a “HIT” before spending the money on making a different manual. There are subtle differences though. Adjusting the trigger, trigger guard only has one access hole, lever action and cocking before the initial filling. The manual states do not cock when filling but the additional instructions state “cock before initial fill”. Instructions for loading the mag are not correct either, and if they are, they are somewhat confusing. Other than that, I think that Hatsan has done a superb job on the Vectis.

I love a lever action gun, so I have to get this when it came out. Came with 2 mags and iron sites. The 200 bar fill is great for and pumping and it is fairly accurate for plinking. Say a soda can at 40 yards. Last but not least the action is fairly smooth and short.

I can't understand why they didn't add a place for the extra mag, the plastic shroud on the barrel, this is 2019 why are you still using a prob? The fit and finish is way less than I have come to expect from Hatsan. This is one ugly gun when you get it up close and personal.

I got about 30 good shots using 19 gr pellets, I am not sure how much the moderator helps I have an Sentery in .25 and this is just as loud not a backyard friendly gun. It's fun but not over 300 dollars worth of fun.

Lever action! I'm kind of a lever action nut. As soon as this was announced I had to have one. The lever stroke is fairly smooth and short. Very quick second and third shots. The rifle is not heavy, has lots of rails for accessories, and I love the tactical look. I may add off set rails for the peep sights when I install a scope or red dot. I had a problem with the first one PA sent. I was not able to charge it with air. PA had me send the first one back and sent a replacement back with a 10 for 10 test. This one charges fine with no problems. THANK YOU PYRAMYD AIR!!

The only thing I would change is the charging system. A foster fitting would be very nice.

This is basically a Hatsan Flash. In fact the manual that comes with the rifle is for the Flash.

First off I admit I'm a sucker for lever action rifles. When I saw this available I jumped on it and have not been disappointed. I have found the accuracy out to 25 yards outstanding. The action is smooth (see below) and fast but note you must fully cock the rifle or it will jam. It is a short throw but must be complete. Weight is acceptable, trigger is adjustable though the factory setting is fine for me, no problem with mags feeding and for a can shooter and a reasonably good paper puncher this is just a really fun gun. It made a big hit at the range. I can squeeze four mags out of fill though the last few shots tend to be iffy.

The iron sights are not very good except for plinking but kudos for Hatsan to supply them. I suppose it could be a bit lighter but that's nit picking.

On receiving the rifle I found the action to be a bit coarse but having had a number of Hatsans I waited until I had fired 200 rounds or so and it smoothed out just fine. The action can be worked very fast but must be worked smoothly and fully cycled for each shot.

I wasn't sure how I felt about the squared "flash hider" until I received it. I really adds to the tactical look of the rifle. I also love the texture of the stock. Plenty of grip and I don't feel like I'm going to damage the finish when I take it out hunting. Accuracy with the open sights appeared to be good out to about 15 yards for me but I added a UTG T-Dot sight that helped create 1 inch groups at 35 yards which is my comfort zone anyway. The lever action is perfect for me since I am left handed and most bolt actions make it uncomfortable to shoot quickly. It is a bit front heavy but that isn't noticeable when shooting because it is so ergonomic and only weighs 7 pounds. I was looking for a rifle for quick followup shots but I'm not at the point of purchasing a semi automatic just yet. Also loved the attention it received at the range!

Nothing come to mind. This gun fits perfectly for me...tactical look, lightweight, powerful, multi shot, and affordable!

In order to mount a scope, the mounts will have to be high enough to clear the magazine. That kinda changes that look of the gun imo.
