Description
The proven design of the AT44 just got better! Now featuring Hatsan's Quiet Energy Technology, enjoy all the power of the AT44 platform with 32% less shot noise. Aside from the optics rail that accepts *Weaver or 11mm mounts, this model also features open sights. If hunting or pest elimination is your main purpose for this air gun, .22 or .25 would be the best calibers to get.
Hatsan is pretty special when it comes to the airgun industry. They are one of the few companies that publishes velocities with lead pellets, not those super-light alloy pellets. The pellets you're probably going to use -- lead pellets -- are the same ones they use to test their guns and provide velocities and muzzle energy.

10 of 41 Hatsan AT44 Open Sights Reviews
Everything I wanted in an air rifle. It is accurate, powerful and well built.
Things I Would Have ChangedA little more room for scope mounts.
What Others Should KnowIf you have not ever had a PCP air rifle - get one.
shoots great
Things I Would Have Changednothing
What Others Should Knowgreat gun
It has good accuracy and easy to adjust with open sights. Decent power and shot count.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe bluing on mine is terrible, with scratches and patches of pare metal shining through.
What Others Should KnowThe AT-44 is the Mosin Nagant of air rifles. It is crude, heavy, unrefined, terrible bluing, gritty trigger and action. All that being said, it works as it should without grace.
.25 caliber long. A desktop stapler makes more noise than this gun. Accurate and kills on first shot. 9 shot bolt action. Like all safeties once you use it a few times it becomes automatic. Price vs return is 100% I use a red dot scope so can't speak to open sights. Thinking of switching to prism scope because red dot has become a coma.
Things I Would Have ChangedIt's is HEAVY. I think they should give you the gun for free because I see the ads ons going like this. I own hand pump $85 refurbished Hatsan. Works adequate as long as I keep the gun topped up 30 to 40 strokes. Investment #2 compressor $300+ investment #3 SCBA tank and fittings $300. I'll have a $1000 into a $250 gun and then I'll need to buy another $500 gun and $200 prism scope to make the $1000 compressor tank combo pay. It's like eating a $25 meal to wreck a $100 buzz
What Others Should KnowI
open sights mainly, but so far am impressed with this rifle, very quiet.
Things I Would Have Changedforearm is slick not to my comfort put on a rubber peel and stick mat.
What Others Should KnowOut of the box no adjustment pow dead on at 35 yards. the fill probe is male threads make sure you have proper fittings to use. rifle is a bit heavy but not bad. I have no complaints. The only noise i hear is the "ting" on squeezing trigger. I am using JSB 16 gr cylindrical pellets in 177 cal. well worth the price.
Right out of the box the sights are accurate. My rifle needed 5 clicks right and 10 up and laser on 30 to 50 yards open sights. I put on a generic Gamo scope that was from my Hunter Xtr .25 and used WestHunter Optics Precision Picatinny Scope Rings, 1 Inch 30 mm Adjustable Height and have them 2 bars up adjusted (adjustable height ) so it doesn't touch the open sights. So far, gamo hunter pount and magnum country. Apollo 21g slugs and the usual crosman are laser accurate. I have NOT done any tunes. I need a new hammer sear part 2260 hatsan cuz 1 branch broke but it cocks smoother now lol. I had to deburr the entry port on THREE hatsan air cylinders since they've taken chunks from my O rings. However, the rifle is superb. Plenty of rats, pests and 3 coyotes taken down with Apollo 21gr slugs. I have taken the rifle apart and lubed all o rings etc and have aftermarket parts coming like moderator and depinger
Things I Would Have ChangedNothing
What Others Should KnowBuy multiple air cylinders, o rings, 100% silicone grease and oil and check the ports and smooth out as needed
The blasted accuracy! Hole E Moses this thing is a tack driver at 30 yards. And so far is not pellet picky, but I have only tried the el'cheap'o Crosman Premier 14.3 gr HP, The RWS Hobby 11.9 gr wadcutters, Gamo TS-22 21.75 gr, JTS Dead Center 18.1 gr ( best so far, 10 shots in less than 1/2" at 30 yards! ) Gamo Red Fire. ALL of these were edge to edge of a US $0.25 quarter or less, the JTS Dead Center 18.1 gr can be covered by a DIME. So, accuracy aside, I LIKE the weight as it goes a long way to helping the rifle stability, I cant see worth a flip with my aging eyes and bifocals, but that being said the open sights are REALLY good IMO. I very soon installed a CVLIFE 4-16 X 44 AO scope I had and its been bliss ever since.
Things I Would Have ChangedWell, here is where the "cheap" or "budget" part comes in. So my 1st rifle they sent broke on its 13th shot. (10 from them on PA's "10 for 10", and on the 3rd shot from me) I was very upset to say the least. I SWEATED buying this gun. I spent like 40 hours surfing forums, reading articles, every you tube vid I could find, on specifically the AT44-10 Long. Seemed like a really great gun! Only to have my 1st one break on the first outing. I sent in for the RGA and juuuuuuust about went for a full refund. BUT, I get it, things just break. So I figured this being my 1st Hatsan I would give them another try. Almost 2 weeks later, the current one came in. As stated extremely accurate, but the rotating mag refuses to stop at the correct spot. I have to manually "bump it" to get it to line up with the camber. :-/ Im just dealing with it, but disappointed. WHYYYYYY is a Male Foster QD to 1/8" BSPP Female Threads adaptor not included!
What Others Should KnowIf you are using a pump with the quick disconnect fittings, you must have one of these. I was not told this, was not aware of this in all my research, and none of the you tube vids I watched said anything about it. Granted, this is my first PCP, maybe they just assumed everyone knew? None this less, to fill the gun using QU fitting this adaptor is a must have: https://www.pyramydair.com/product/air-venturi-4500-male-quick-disconnect-to-female-threads?a=8494 Lastly, this sucker shoots hard! 1,000+ fps easily with the light end pellets. And yes, you can turn the power down. There are vids on how to do that.
I love alot about this rifle. I'm in shape and 30, so the weight isn't an issue. I 90% target, can and frozen can target shoot, and occasionally pest control, with the Olympia 25gr slugs. Very accurate after adjusting the open sights, and also it LOVES gamo hunter domed pellets. Mine was perfect out of the box. Needed little to no adjusting. I haven't done any modifications yet. Might stick a Huma, a new Baffle, Depinger and maybe a new hammer spring. But unsure yet this rifle shoots great.
Things I Would Have ChangedMaybe a larger air cylinder but that'll probably up the price.
What Others Should KnowGet the Air Venturi adapter quick disconnect if you're hand pumping. I use the GX pump and needed that. Takes me from 100 bar, about 5 sets of 25 pumps to full. Might need to work on my form
Gun was powerful and accurate sighted it in in one tank
Things I Would Have ChangedI could never get the fill probe to work, I changed the seals, got multiple probes, tried hand pumps and compressors and had 2 air tanks. It's been useless on my rack for years now. Don't know if it's user error or what

As a long-time (decades) airgunner, I see the AT44 as one of the original cumulative designs of power and accuracy. Despite its "old school" rifle image, this rifle holds its own on all levels with the newer designs in the areas that count. I have never been disappointed in its accuracy and power (especially with some of the newly designed and available pellets and slugs)! Although the magazines are of lower shot-count, they are simple, metal and (from my experience) they cause far less pellet deformation while using them. I believe that's why you see some of the upper end names going back to a similar design. On a larger scale, if you want a comparison of this rifles place in the airgun world (in my eyes)= I consider it to fall into the Chevy 350, Ford 5.0, or Toyota R22 categories of the "Airgun world". Truly, a simple, (all be it old school) well designed workhorse that consistently delivers whether pimped-out or bone stock.
Things I Would Have Changed1)Weight.... Weight had always plagued Hatsan's original designs. This is not a Christiansen Ridgeline FFT "light hunter. You will be saddled with a 10lb+ rifle when scoped. 2)Shot count. The AT44 was designed before the common use of carbon fiber bottles and lighter more affordable polymers. However, there are tradeoffs, such as cheaper spare cylinders and mags. All and all, it has secured its own nice niche for collectors and hunters. It's all about use. This is an accurate flatland pesting, or bench resting beast- that does not travel the high back-country with ease. Keep in mind, you'll probably be receiving an older stock AT44 and you'll have to clean out the barrel of grease and light rust like the Dickens (35 patches light polish and Balistol) but it's well worth it. In fact, I gladly re-blued some of the scuffs and scratches while cleaning it (another negative Hatsan is known for).
What Others Should KnowAs an avid collector, I believe that the AT44 offers great value on its own merit as an unusually accurate and powerful Hatsan model but, will soon be considered as an integral part of the glorious "airgun revolution" we've seen in the past 20 years. Yes, it has its obvious drawback's like- "ship anchor" weight, lower shot count, smaller mags etc. however, I can outshoot my own RC factor and my friends FX DRS with these old-school broomsticks! Yes, with the newly designed pellets and slugs from AEA, JTS, Griffin, and more, these old rifles have found a new life and level of accuracy! I suppose, since that (and getting outside) is what it's always been about for me, they're worth every discounted penny. You could spend a LOT more for this type of accuracy and consistency from a regulated PCP or eventually install a Huma etc. (if you feel the need) yourself later for far less. Honestly, that should be the gateway for new airgunners anyway- start with a great base and modify to learn!
