.30 Caliber springer, the Hatsan Carnivore video just posted

[echochap]

Been shooting this gun for a couple weeks now and got out today to get some stuff on video. A short initial run through before I start hunting it. Stop by for a look.

[stonykill]

looking forward to more video's on it

I would rather an air conserving pumper  should be able to hit 7-800 fps with one... I just think beyond a certain point springer/np does not make any sense...

[echochap]

I would expect, and like to see, this gun putting out another 10 fpe or so. Having said this, I am curious to see what the gun will do when hunting. This is anecdotal, I shot a squirrel over the weekend at 35 yards, hit him in the chest broadside, and literally threw him out of the tree DOA. Something about a big, slow moving chunk of lead. Regarding a more efficient multi-pump, there has been and are a couple examples out there. Personally, I don't get so excited over these. I know they are self contained, but something like an efficient PCP at 2000 psi that will give me 20 20 fpe shots would be more to my taste. A pump would be relatively painless, and I could take a small CF tank and keep it fed for many refills.

I think the Benjamin ACP and FX Indy are the only ACP's available now, unless there is one I am unaware of.  As far as the .30 springer, it seems a bit much to me, but different strokes for different folks.

Affordable ACP well that is pretty much a DIY thing but very doable... I like the idea of capable of 3 or so shots but the main thing for me would be 1 high fpe shot and then pump back up in way less pumps than a pump and dump...

well a .30 and 44g pellets would be an air hog so those small tanks would not last long I think... 20 fpe is for .177 and .22 and slow as a .25...

 Agreed. Even if the conserving air pumper was 650 -700 in .30 it would be more interesting. I do like Hatsans a lot, but I think this one is just too darn slow.

I think a 2000/2200 psi  version would be able to chunk the 44g .30 out there well especially if a longer barrel...

that became the Millennium Pumper

To save wear and for ease, pump up first with the bicycle style pump then just re-pump after each shot...

or just pump to lower pressure  for smaller caliber barrel...

or run tethered for .30 target practice...

A beast for sure, and a powerful spring that may be too much for my spring compresser. 

But, somehow appealing to me ...

Something to consider.

It looks like it's built on the H-135 platform. I wonder when they are going to introduce it to the US market?

What is the FPS with the .30 cal?  I have the Sniper 125 in .25 cal and it hits hard!
Ouch!! I just saw the price on that thing $750 bucks at PA and a bit pricy for a springer!!
Paid less than that for my .45-70 Marlin Guide gun!

[grimeszee]

That is the bt65 PCP  version

[Bryan Heimann]

I think it looks like a lot of fun, and I want one!

What I like best with this hunter is the oem installed sling mounts set up safari style.

Why can't other manufactures do this more?
