Hatsan Wishlist

[Nomadic Pirate]

One of these guns will be mine as soon as they come avaiable 

Haven't decided yet but at the moment this is the list in order of possibility

100 Torpedo .22
155 Torpedo .25
99                .22

I think it will come down to the moment of pushing the button.

I'm still debating if I should convert them to Nitro or Tune them as springers.


.....Ed, what do you think ?   

does Ed even come here on the Turkish forum ?

I'm going for a BT65 in .25, can't decide on wood or synthetic stock though.

Wood, definitely. I had a Falcon Hunter in .25 that I loved everything about except the stock. I was able to make it much, much better by filling but it still was the one thing I would change about the rifle. I would take a 135 woody in a heartbeat. A BT-65 would be kinda cool too.

[Nomadic Pirate]

Yeah, wish we could get Replacement stocks, I would get a wood for my Walther talon .25 for sure

[LeadHead]

My concern for wood stocks is large. Is wood really that forgiving to drops, dents, humidity versus the synthetics? I kind of like my synthetics as most of mine are filled with foam.

I thought I read that the PCP synthetic stocks from Hatsan were solid. I don't mind a hollow stock if it saves on weight & shoulders well.  The wait for them to buy is brutal though.

The 135 in .22 might be better than a Patriot in .22, but the Patriot in .25 seems more powerful than the .25 Hatsan 135. Or are they the same ??

Its a bit confuusing to me,USA models always seem to have a different name/model to Europe, mine is a Model 55s (imported in to the uk by Edgar Brothers and sold as an EB55) calibre.177 (EB60 is .22) it is wood stocked,Quattro trigger ,SAS.and Truglo sights.
The dealer who supplied it said its his top selling spring gun,and ts very rare to have a faulty one returned.
I have found the overall finish to be very good,when i got mine home it was fairly well lubricated,so gave it a thorough clean and then polished the metalwork and wood stock with Solvol Autosol,this is chrome/alloy cleaner,comes in a tube like toothpaste.This produced a nice shiny wood finish and also shined up the metalwork.i then gave it a clean with a heavily silicone impregnated gun cloth and then another final polish off,
result? a nice looking well finished long gun.
I have played with trigger adjustment and now it is quite finely set,very positive ,NO creep, full marks Hatsan.
The Turkish Walnut stock on my gun is fairly bland but i have seen some that are realy very well grained.My only complaint about the stock is that it is fully ambidextrious,and therefore quite slim,be nice if it had a fuller cheek piece.
So far had a couple of thousand pellets through it and no problems.
It does seem to prefer cheap pellets. i use it for 20yds standing "sport rifle" comps, and i get better accuracy from cheap domes and wadcutters
than quality pellets!!! the gun handling and spring noise is completely different if using a quality pellet.
I did shoot a friends .22 and found it to be easier to cock and softer in recoil.
Am i satisfied? yes it is cheap at £101.00 over here, and i would venture to say that its competion is double in price?
Next year when its had another couple of thousand rounds through it i will have stripped ,polished and lubed.
I realy dont think you can go wrong for the price?
Cant wait to see one of the new Dominators,carbine in wood,luvly!!!!!

I would like to add a 200W to the 55/75/99 I have

Dude, they are rifles no porcellain dolls

they are ment to get dents and scratches

[NitroGary0]

Well as far as a wishlist is concerned, I kinda filled it with my new Hatsan Dominator, I got the wooden stocked carbine version in .177, and I love it.

I think next will be a Striker1000 in .25 cal.

I really like the Torpedo range but having large hands I believe they will be difficult for me to load, as the loading breech is a bit fiddly

robinsonmac I have had a BT 65 for the past 8 months. I have the 9 shot .25 cal rear bolt in camo synthetic. My friend has same gun in wood and they weigh about the same. The camo stock is solid. When I bought the gun they were sold as Non Pal, in Canada meaning under 500 f.p.s. With JSB .25  CAL 25.4 grs. pellets over chrony was 385 fps. I have a restricted Pal so legally I could modify it.After modding the valve stem and replacing 12x1.75mm set screw recutting the threads in hammer block so I could ajust hammer spring. Now this same gun gets 3 mags, 27 shots between 928 fps and 962 fps. for 51 fpe. They are very accurate out to 40 yds and beyond. They are a man size gun, mine has the Quatro trigger which is decent. The airtank holds 235 cc's of air and I fill to 200 bar shoot 3 mags and refill at 125 bar. I paid $500.00 with tax+shipping and I would not sell it for $600.00 that is how much I like it.
