Hatsan Jet I/II Discussion

[EdinGa]

I've got a Nitecore p30 clamped to mine and it weighs 5.8 pounds. I haven't checked the balance point, but it isn't tiresome to shoot.

LOL.... looks like something that may have recently been declassified.

I can definitely see that. I might break it down if I ever travel with it. 

LOL... yeah, probably not a "carry on" item.

I hope I won't be flying to any barn shooting spots.

 Maybe something like this with radiation warning stickers on it

I have mine in a HF case like that it all fits nicely in the 2 layers.

  Had no plans on making a video, but I did, maybe to give Bill something to watch as he waits for his jet to arrive LOL

Thanks for the video James. The volume was low but I got the idea. I was waiting for the cat to knock that tin of pellets off the table.

Yeah no fancy audio equipment, the cat that made a cameo in the Daisy Ronno Trigger mod video likes to borrow Allen wrenches other than that they leave stuff where it belongs LOL

[avator]

Well, mine should be here tomorrow.

Great cat !

The Jet 1 with the bottle looks space age, as you said
It looks pretty cool too.

Happy cat!

Question for you guys, I have been looking at the jet because of the small size and side lever. Also looking at the notos because of the regulator and it seems to have a little more reach. My delima is that I already have a p-rod sp what am I gaining through either of those?
Side lever breech obviously, although the one on the notos doesn't look like it would be all that great since it sits flush but the regulator would be nice.
I don't care for fixed moderator so that is a down side as well.
It seems that the .25 would be loopy on the jet, would a .22 be better for hunting?
Would I be better off just staying with my prod? I could buy a regulator and a a few barrels from crosman for the price of either. Mine is the older model that needs larger diameter pellets but the new barrels seem to eliminate that.

I know the Prod is dated but mine is deadly accurate and gets at least 2 mags per fill at around 13 fpe. The Notos can deliver more power and it's accurate as well, but I don't know if it's really that much better than a Prod. I bought my Jet specifically because I wanted a .25 and I saw it as a short range gun from the start, so I wasn't concerned with a loopy trajectory. I'm probably a weirdo, but I like low power .25 and high power .177. I don't shoot my .22 pcps nearly as much.

The marauder looks like a great pistol - always wanted to try shooting one of those. Of the three you mentioned it’s the one that has the most appeal to me and to me at least upgrading the marauder seems like the way to go.  (I say this because I started with a Talon P and gradually souped that thing up over a couple of years - the process was really gratifying)

I really like the artemis pp700 as well but it is single shot, no mag.  The notos is a descendant of the pp7xx guns i believe,
and it has (?) to be better than the hatsan I think since it is more or less a well proven platform dressed up as something new. 

I agree the affixed moderator seems like a poor choice (when I was in my teens, however, it would have been ideal so it probably makes sense for a fair number of people).

This is all my opinion obviously and I don’t expect anyone to take it.  I’m aware that I haven’t shot any of those guns also lol.

I would mod or upgrade the prod over buying a jet1. As far as the notos I have no experience with. Like Ed I wanted a .25 pistol no other real reason I bought a jet1.

[avator]

I'm a budget kinda guy and the Prod always seemed to be out of range for me. I know that sounds crazy because I've tinkered and upgraded guns investing more than the cost of a Prod.
Anyways... I am also not a fan of tactical looking guns.... normally. But watching others enjoying their NOTOS leaned me into wanting one. Even to the point I sold things to get one. But there were none to be had. Having shot the Jet 1 and 2 recently and my addictive personality that makes me want what I want and want it now, I decided to go all in on the Jet 2. 2 Days later more NOTOS came available.

Thanks for the replies everyone,  sounds like I should just use the money to buy a compressor for what I already have!

That's exactly what I would do if I didn't have one.

[avator]

Just got an update from UPS. The Jet 2 will now be delivered tomorrow. I suppose I can fix the curtains now and get away from the window.   

[miksatx]

Barrel installed. shooting way better!

It is rumored their will be a better side lever coming out on a next gen Notos, Airgun Geeks IIr

I'm surprised nobody has offered an after market one yet.

Not trying to get to far off topic but what makes you say the notos can get more power? The p-rod can be set up to put out a pretty impressive power level imo.
