This gun is very accurate. Havnt had any issues cycling the mag or with the safety. Gun delivers exactly what is claimed on fps and fpe. Also like the features of adjustability of the stock. Love the fact of just purchasing extra air tanks for the gun and simply just unscrew to swap air tanks. Makes hunting alot easier instead of carrying around a fill source.

Only thing i would change is where the air pressure gauge is mounted. I would rather have the gauge on the side instead of towards themuzzle end of barrel.

The gun is little heavy. To me its about the same weight of some of my PB rifles. Its not to where i cant carry-it hunting tho but im used to it. Also some say it cant shoot longer slugs like some other big bores. I knew this before purchasing it. For the price you cant go wrong for a pellet shooter in .30 i plan on using for small to medium size game.

My first PCP rifle. took it to the range to zero and it was amazingly accurate right out of the box. Put about 100 rounds through it and was surprised at how loud it was for an air gun. I loved the feel and heft of the rifle.

Maybe a little less noise would be nice.

Took it pig hunting and was worried about the noise. Don't worry!! about it got a 278 pounder 1 shot and he never heard a think. If you want a larger caliber this one is a good place to start.

Everything the rifle is great and the power I was looking for.

Nothing

Buy you one.

The gun is awesome, light and very accurate

I like the idea of the removable air cylinders. That opens up more options for hunting being able to swap out the low tank for a fresh one.

The QE system is a good thought but not completely efficient in the big bore airguns. So I bought a moderator that mounts on the end of that QE shroud to silence the bark from this big dog. The QE shroud doesn't line up on my rifle well and when I fired it the pellet was clipping so bad that it completely fragmented inside the moderator. I tried everything to get it to line up and ended up removing the QE shroud completely and just using the moderator on the bare barrel. Once that QE shroud was removed, my accuracy improved significantly. I am not sure if the shroud was beaten up during shipping or what, but wouldn't work with it on.

Unless you want the big bore, the bt65 with a moderator will work just fine. The moderator will work much better than the QE shroud to drop the decibels from the shot.

This is the quietest air gun I have ever used. The accuracy rivals that of 177 or 22s. But it is big enough for hunting and not lose wounded game. The number of shots between fills is good too. Overall this is probably my best. And I have 8.

The only thing I would change is the automatic safety. And I may figure out how to change that yet. But when I am shooting I don't need the safety coming on every time I cycle the action.

This gun is rather heavy so it would not be one for junior or even very senior hunters who might have trouble lugging it around.

Caliber,real power,looks,weight,feel. It's a beast. Durable synthetic stock. Adjustable butt pad makes it shoulder really well. Everything functions as advertised. Happy with purchase. I give value for money 4 stars because I always want to spend less,don't we all?

Would like a manual safety to get 2nd shot more quickly,but it's fine. It is a good safety feature for those who might forget that it's loaded. It happens

Limited selection of pellets at larger calibers. So stock up and get to shootin'

This gun has a ton of power.

Quality control. Hatsan guns are a great price but you need to know how to assemble them so you can fix quality issues which many of them have. Once fixed they are a great buy, but if your a novice the quality can drive you away from this sport.

My bolt was stiff and I had many problems cycling the magazine. I had to disassemble the gun and straighten out a piece on the bolt that kept getting stuck. I then applied brake grease to the bolt and it works like a charm. These are simple fixes that Hatsan could do to make this rifle 10 times better out of the box.

Extremely accurate .30 cal 14 rounds of 50.15gr through 3 ragged holes with a 3/4" spread at 50 yards. And will go straight through half inch plywood at 50 yards very quiet

Finish could be better 4 price

I HAVE HAD MY .30 CAL. A FEW MONTHS NOW AND I AM SO GLAD I BOUGHT IT OVER THE OTHER HIGH DOLLAR .30s I WAS LOOKING AT. MINE IS CRONNING AT 940+ WITH THE 44.7 GRAIN RNDS AND IT WILL HOLD UNDER 1 INCH GROUPS FROM THE BENCH AT 100 YARDS. I GET 20 TO 21 SHOTS BEFORE IT DROPS BELOW 900 FPS. OUT OF THE BOX IT WAS ALMOST AS GOOD COMING IN AT 900 FPS FOR A HIGH DOWN TO AROUND 840 FPS AFTER 21 SHOTS. THE TRIGGER WHILE NOT WHAT I WOULD CALL A MATCH SET UP IS VERY GOOD. THE MODERATOR WORK PRETTY WELL DOING THE JOB OF KEEPING THE NOISE DOWN AND I WOULD SAY MINE IS BACK YARD FRIENDLY. THIS IS A VERY VERY GOOD RIFLE AT A VERY GOOD PRICE! DON'T BE AFRAID TO STEP UP TO THIS ONE IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A .30 CAL. THIS IS A ROCK SOILED RIFLE WITH SOME OUTSTANDING PRFORMANCE AND ROOM FOR PERSONEL TWEEKING IF YOU LIKE DOING THAT.

THE PLACEMENT OF THE AUTO SAFETY SUCKS FOR ME AND I MUCH PREFER A MANUAL OVER THE AUTO SAFETY. IT IS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE TOP REAR AND JUST PLAIN DISRUPTIVE TO QUICK FOLLOW UP SHOTS. THE AT-44 HATSAN WHICH I HAVE IS PLACED CENTER REAR AND IS A QUICK THUMB PUSH TO OFF WHICH IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS FOR THE QUICK AND EASY ACCESS OF AN AUTO SAFETY. WITH A GOOD SCOPE THE RIFLE IS A BIT HEAVY MINE IS NEARLY 11 POUNDS WITH SCOPE. SHAVING OFF A FEW POUNDS WOULD REALLY BE NICE. THE BOLT ACTION IS OK BUT THE SIDELEVER LIKE HATSAN USES ON THE AT-44 IS OUTSTANDING AND VERY SMOOTH AND FAST. OFFER A WOOD STOCK! THE STOCK IS OK BUT ALOT OF US JUST LIKE WOOD. I'LL BE MAKING ONE FOR MINE THIS WINTER!

MY RIFLE WAS A GIFT FROM MY WIFE AND I CAN ONLY ASSUME SHE BOUGHT IT FROM P/A AFTER SEEING MY HINTS LEFT AROUND THE HOUSE IN EARLY APRIL 2016. MY RIFLE HAD A VERY STIFF BOLT FOR THE FIRST 50 OR SO USES, SO MUCH SO THAT I ALMOST GAVE UP ON IT. IT HAS GOTTON ALOT BETTER AND CONTINUES TO IMPROVE. I FOUND THAT A MIN. AMOUNT OF GUN OIL TO THE LOWER END OF THE BOLT HELPED BUT IT WAS STILL VERY HARD TO COCK. MY RIFLE TO DATE HAS HAD ONLY ABOUT 1200 RND.S SHOT THROUGH IT. IT IS BIT PRICEY FOR THE PELLETS AT 16 BUCKS A TIN. SO I DON'T SHOOT IT AS MUCH AS I DO MY OTHER RIFLES IN LESSER CAL.S THAT BEING SAID THIS RIFLE IS VERY POWERFUL WITH THE RANGE TO TAKE MOST ANYTHING YOU MIGHT HUNT WITH A .22 LONG RIFLE. I HAVE TAKEN VERMIN WITH MY RIFLE UP TO 200 YARDS. MY RIFLE IS A KEEPER A BIT ON THE HEAVY SIDE BUT I REALLY THINK IT IS THE BEST .30 CAL. FOR THE MONEY OUT THERE RIGHT NOW!
