Title: Hatsan PCP Wisdom needed
Post by: smartshooter on February 15, 2014, 10:22:43 PM
Questions

If desired fps is around 900 is it better to get the 25 cal at44 that shoots out of the box around 900 fps or get the bt 65 and tune it down to 900 and save air  and increase shot count?

Does anyone know if the new "ELITE" thumb hole synthetic stocks have the flimsy issue the older ones had that would cause change in poi?

You guys rock by the way....!!!

Just want to let you know that the published velocities Hatsan has on their .25 caliber guns are with the Hatsan 19.9 grain .25 caliber pellets, the lightest lead pellets I've come across in .25. I have a tin and the three Hatsan rifles I own are at or slightly over publilshed velocities claimed by Hatsan. That said, a good mid weight pellet like JSB exacts 25.4 grain will shoot under the published velocity. You can easily "tune up" the AT44, but if that's not your thing get the BT65.

No issues I've had with either my 125TH or AT44 PA. Really can't see POI being altered by thumb hole stock in PCP rifle where there's virtually no recoil. My 125TH with stock factory spring, that's a whole different story.
