Hatsan Jet I/II Discussion

4800 series I didnt like the sticker.

That's a nice case, looks to be plenty of room in it! 

[Insanity]

It is much nicer than the price you pay.

That is a really nice case!  Hopefully you post a pic of gun/accessory fitment.   

As far as thermal goes, my brother has a $6k thermal and it's absolutely incredible!  I could see deer almost a mile away, watch field mice zipping around, even watched a big fat toad hopping down to his pond.  I wouldn't have thought it could pick up cold blooded critters but it did and the detail was amazing!  But it also cost more than my truck so that will be left to envy.  One of our guests brought his thermal which was a step under my bros (think he said it was $4k) and it was pretty disappointing.  The resolution just wasn't there to see the definition that my brothers showed, especially at higher magnification it was block/pixelated.  I've been looking at the cheaper thermals out there and thinking about the difference in those two WAY more expensive optics but I don't think they are worth that coin.  That's just my experience, these were set up for long range coyote hunting so maybe a cheaper thermal will work fine at shorter air gun ranges.
He also has a night vision set up which is pretty sweet but that thermal was like watching a sci-fi scene.  That was last spring and I'm still drooling...

I got a decent deal on one of the low end ATN LT Thermals, resolution is pretty poor, but it will make a rat glow in the dark, so as long as you're satisfied with putting the crosshairs over center mass of the glowing blob, it will take a rat in complete darkness!  It's also nice to help find them when they run off, because even in light cover, they still glow in the dark as long as they are still warm!  The LT version don't record, so I can't get footage of those shots!

My next dot sight will be this, https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804828352754.html?

Same here, unless, something better comes out by the time I'm ready to buy

Reading through the description it sounds like it can go to the eyepiece of an already attached scope. Is that right?

Edit: Looked again; maybe I’m confusing it with another one.

Nighttime use requires opening the IR Filter in the front. So this one can be used in the daytime?

I found this listing for what appears to be the same device, but for a better price. https://m.aliexpress.us/item/3256805121376124.html

Edit: Just noticed the last picture says “no battery.” 😑

Edit: This one seems to include the battery and looks to be the same as the original, but with a better price.

The case I bought.

Now you need to build a foam cutter to cut the foam for a perfect fit.

It's that pluck and pull stuff.

The jet has landed and it brought a friend with it.

Oh, that's a nice setup!  Like they were made for each other.   

Must...  resist...

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

It fits in that case quite nicely! 

[Insanity]

Mike at Bakers told me when they tested it with 33gn heavies it was making 19 to 20 fpe. He also fixed and issue with the male foster. He said he started to air it up and at 500psi it popped off. He may get one of his own every one was liking it today.

I did one test shot to see how loud it was which is why I bought the dfl. Some time this weekend I'm going to try to get everything set into place in the case.

Don't resist just order one.

I had an issue with the foster popping off the first time I tried to fill it also. I swapped it for the one that came with the Jet and have not had an issue since.

I have a kral that has a different male foster and has its own adapter. I wonder if others are having an issue with it?

[Back_Roads]

 I have a Jet 1 in .25 on the way, took awhile to find a Jet1 in .25 in stock. Now where did all the Notos go

Congrats on the new Jet James!  Just an FYI, if you are looking to add a moderator to it, check Buck Rail for an adapter, I believe they have them and they are $10 cheaper than the DonnyFL adapter!  I didn’t see them there until after I had already purchased the Donny adapter!

I'm trying to hold strong and save up my pennies for the upcoming Evanix Viper.

If you get a Buck Rail adapter, let us know how it is. The DonnyFL adapter was made for the AA S510, so it was machines for the diameter of the S510 shroud. In the Jet 1 it’s really a hair too large and needs to be removed before you remove the air. cylinder from the Jet or it will scratch the air cylinder. This is not really a problem on the Jet 2 because the air cylinders are not hot swapable and actually sit back a tad further than on the Jet 1.
