Hello everyone!
I went to the shop yesterday and bought a Hatsan.
It wasn't a BT-65.. it was the new Galatian III.
I got it in .25 cal...1000 fps! and for $760 incl the pump.
It says 60 shots per fill, i'm not sure if 60 full power shots per fill that is.
255 cyl
It has a synthetic..(by synthetic i mean synthetic not plastic feeling like most of the hatsan's) stock with a thumb hole and adjustable cheek
piece ( sort of like the bt 65 elite).
the loudness was average.. but noticeable.
I added an LDC (taken from my hatsan mod 85x) and it started to sound quiet actually.
You could only hear the spring of the hammer inside ..and i told my friend to stay 10 meters away from me all he could hear was a slight "poof".
I liked the fact that it has a 13 round magazine , and an anti feed mechanism.
If anyone else here got the gun i'd like to hear about their opinion on it ;D
It's not even sold yet on pyramid air nor on any other website so i can check the reviews.
3 links of the pics.

Good choice, it is a nice gun, actually Pyramyd Air has it, but not customers reviews yet.

There is some information in the Hatsan USA website.

about the number of gunshots:
**The maximum shot count numbers have been provided directly from the Factory. Many factors play a role in determining your "actual" maximum shot count. For this reason we've compiled a short guide as a reference for the number of "usable shots" in each caliber. "Useable Shots" are defined as shots that are relatively close to the stated velocity and should maintain reasonable accuracy.
Approximated "usable" shot count: .177 - 32 to 48, .22 - 28 to 42, .25 - 26 to 39
let us know how it performs.

P.S.: the links to your images work adding http://www (http://www) in front of them

Thank you for your reply!
Well it's not the same model, you have Galatian I,II,III and IV
The one pyramid air sells is the I, mine is III.
and about the links, the forum won't allow me to post external links so i had to remove the http//www. :)

Thanks, let us know how it performs.

Looking at the galation pics and seeing the amount of space there is between the barrel & reservoir makes me think this gun would take a full barrel shroud very nicely.

It might, i need to find someone who can build a shroud in Lebanon, since i don't have any of the tools to do so.

Congrats on the new gun.... I think you will find the "usuable" shot count about half what Hatsan claim.... but that's consistent with the rest of their PCPs.... The Galatian has the same reservoir as the BT65....
