Hatsan AirTact

Youre better off throwing a rock at whatever youre aiming at

Pros
Pellet exits barrel

Cons
Barrel visually bent causing the iron sights and any scope you put on to be useless. Best I got with several types and brands of pellets was a 4 inch group at 10 yards

Stay away from Hatsan air rifles and $100 air rifles as they are not made for long term use.

Pros
Rifle was light weight and easy to shoot.

Cons
After 200 shots the pic rail was broken and no way to repair it. Hatsan has qc issues as do most $100 air guns.

Optic rail can hurt the hand over time if you are shooting this rifle alot.

Pros
Light powerful and accurate. Out the box it shots straight and puts pellets in same hole with open sights. Also easy to cock the rifle.

Cons
First one I got had a defective barrel. After exchange the rifle shots great.

Change out the scope, or use the iron sights. Otherwise it's great

Pros
Accurate, good power.

Cons
Supplied scope is something to be desired. Changed out for a truglow rimfire scope and it works amazing.

Pros
Nice air rifle

Cons
Scope rail and sights off on 2 units, unable to use scope and unable to shoot straight through sites

The sharp edges on the trigger make shooting more than 5 shots very uncomfortable. The recoil is MUCH more pronounced than its cousin the Striker, both spring and gas. When you have a good grip on it the trigger guard slams into your finger when it is fired so your hand is abused in two places. After twenty shots I have decided I will find a way to sell it. It is accurate at the 5 yards I tested it in. I expected an average budget plinker and it is not up to that level.

Pros
It has a light weight stock and is easy to cock. It could be a good all weather gun. It has a swept-back pistol grip instead of one that drops nearly straight down like other brands.

Cons
Get rid of the sharp edges on the metal trigger. Tame the recoil some. Get rid of the molded finger grooves.

I don't need the scope on it but if I were to use a scope it would have to be a little better than what is supplied,,the replacement scope I got for my son's. 22 is better than the one supplied for the .25

Pros
Out of box nonscoped,,,it is a good shooter,,good grouping at 25 yards

Cons
It can be tiring with the cocking

I bought my .22 Cal. Airtact gun from a different vendor while Air Gun Depot was out of stock. My first gun had a manufacturing defect: the barrel was mis-bored to some diameter > .177 but < .22; it would not take pellets. Brought it back for an exchange. Second gun had a different manufacturing defect: trigger would occassionally not fire the gun, and once the gun discharged on it's own when my hand bumped it! Returned it for a refund. Maybe that vendor got a bad batch? Really liked the the overall design of the gun, and when it worked it was great. Hatsan needs to pay more attention to QC. FWIW: The vendor with whom I dealt was very supportive and helpful. I love the air gun community!

Pros
Front & rear fiber optic sights. Light weight & nice balance. Included scope has mil dot reticle. Very comfortable to hold. Shoots well; good groups. Not too loud.

Cons
Cocking weight on the heavy side. Cocking pivot decends from the barrel 2 or 3 inches when cocking. As another reviewer pointed out: my rear sight was "wobbly". Quality control was an issue with my two tries with this gun; ended up having to get a refund.

budget rifle nothing fancy

Pros
light decent sights accurate but great rifle for the money

Cons
lots of plastic feels cheap scope is iffy

I would use Domed Pellets.

Pros
I purchased the .25 for the purpose of ridding a horde of pesky raccoons. I am using the hollow point pellets thinking those would be perfect for the job. But what I have found out is even at close range it is not taking down these raccoons. Not sure I have the correct pellets for the job. Because I feel the rifle is powerful enough to take down a raccoon. Also, the rifle is sturdy and fun to shoot. It came with a scope which I am not using.
