Hatsan BT65SB Elite

This is a hammer of a .25 cal. For not being a big bore I am extremely impressed with the knockdown power it has. Bough this gun from here and it came rather quick and came with everything described. Absolutely an amazing gun!!!

Pros
Powerful and accurate! I'm hitting full soup cans @ 100 yds with total devastation and penetration. Hitting the milk jug @ 100 yds with lighter grain .25 after 40 shots without filling! I normally shoot from 3k psi down to about 2.2k psi with the 3 rounds. I use an electric pump and it pumps it as fast as I can reload the three mags. Really quite too, I can shoot it in my backyard and not bother the neighborhood.

Cons
You will want to buy your own electric high pressure air pump because trying to pump this by hand would really suck...

it's heavy but not much heavier than my shotgun or couple of my rifles shoots nice and good for taking small pests that i have coming around the house it's real quiet shoots light or heavy pellets crony i was getting 950 fps with 47 fpe and i have not adjusted anything on it yet .

Pros
little more power than my hatson flash nice to have spare clips right on the rifle

Cons
heavy and a little long

I have both the Hatsan BT65SB and the Elite QE. The BT65SB is modified, tuned, and maxed out. Shooting a 34grn pellet, sighted in at 40yrd; groups 9 shots fully covered by a dime. The Elite is well tune, but no modifications; also sighted in at 40yrds. Shooting a 25grn pellet, 9 shots in one rough hole. Like with every air rifle, once you find that magic pellet; stay with it. Both have unreal accuracy beyond a 100 yrds. Scopes used are first focus points, one is 8-32x50 and the other is 6-24x50.

Most powerful .25 pellets rifle, come with 3 mags, 3 MAGS! They won’t easily get jammmed, excellent accuracy, the loudness very depends on what pellet you are using.

***Ask Airgundepot for suggestions for the pellet***

I’m just a poor English Asian, but I have to write this comment to recommend this rifle

One more thing for first-air-rifle buyer, this rifle doesn’t allow you to use longer size pellet. Most of the repeater cannot load a long+heavy pellets cause the mag is too small, if you want to shoot longer and heavier pellets, you have to pick a single shot air rifle.

Pros
***Design*** This is a perfect design air rifle for me 1) 2 spots at bottom of the rifle to store your mags, they are easy to take out and reload, so far I have shoot over 200 pellets, they never stucked into the barrel 2) Adjustable tigger 3) Both 11mm and 20mm In ONE rail 4) Silenced, in my opinion, pellets make different. 5) Adjustable back rear and face aim rest 6) very easy to fill with and they put the PSI value bar is at the end of the rifle. ***Performance*** 1) Excellent accuracy at 75 yard less than .50 inch group 2) 1080 FPS is pretty awesome with this price 3) Very easy to use, very stable, really good for small game hunting at 50-100 yard ***Customer service, shipping and price*** 1) Professional customer service 2) They ship really fast 3) THIS COMPANY IS THE BEST PRICE OF MARKET, TRUST ME

Cons
1) Cannot load long pellets (Just for my personal. I think most of the repeater cannot load long pellets except single shot rifle) 2) YOU HAVE TO BUY AN EXTRA MALE QUICK DISCONNECT, it only come with non-quick-disconnect one, so I bought an Air Venturi Male Quick-Disconnect, 1/8 BSPP Female Threads, Steel, Rated to 5000 PSI $15.00, spend $15 it will make your rifle completed!

After receiving the Hatsan BT65SB Elite QE in 25 cal, I read through the manual and watched online videos about setting up the rifle and cleaning it. I then mounted a Vortex 6x24x50 and performed a sight-in at 25 yds and 50 yds using the JSB Match at 25.39 grs. Shot just under a dime size grp at 25 and under an inch at 50 yds. Great trigger on this one too. Killed 7 sage rats first time out hunting. This rifle hits them so hard it knocks them back dead right there ! VERY happy customer !!!

Like the rest of the Hatsan line, this BT65 Elite delivers the FPS stated in the specifications. I ran some JSB 25.4 pellets over a chrono right out of the box and average FPS for 5 shots was 963 FPS with air pressure reading at 150 bar. May need to tune it back a bit for best accuracy. QE shroud makes it pretty quiet but still might be a little too loud for backyard use. Quattro trigger is excellent as usual. Bolt action is a little stiff and feels dry being a new gun. Haven't shot groups with it yet due to bad weather but it should be just as accurate as my other Hatsans.

Pros
Powerful, great trigger, solid build.

Cons
Action is a bit stiff and a little rough when new.

overall accurate consistantly fill plug has rubber rings have had to replace one after two refills

A powerful accurate tank of a rifle for those like me who still like to shoulder a long gun. I bought this in .25 and am stunned every time I pull the trigger. Speaking of wich is a little o th heavy side but matches well wit this heavy gun. I'm getting close to 30 full power shots with a fill. And that's plenty when each shot counts.

Pros
POWER, ACCURACY, BUILD.

Cons
None if you don't mind weight. 11lbs with scope.

Had my BT65 elite for a year and a half. Recently added a regulator which has made an already great gun SUPERB! I have 5 properties in San Diego county where I do ground squirrel eradication. I love this gun!!! It's been so reliable, sturdy and accurate beyond description. I switch between JSB MKII Heavies, H&N Barracudas and H&N hunter extreme pellets. My gun loves them all. It hits with so much power, accuracy and authority the squeaks don't stand a chance. Yeah, with my bipod and big scope it is heavy but most of the time I'm sitting and waiting for them to show up anyway. It's just as accurate as guns that are double the price and more. Just can't say enough about this rifle. I depend on it and it never lets me down whether my target is 25 yards or 125 yards away! Really a great gun and for a great price.

Pros
Durability Accuracy Quietness Comfortable stock, HARD HITTING!!!!

Cons
It is a bit heavy especially when adding bipod, camera, flashlight, etc. Magazine does not lock after 9 shots. I've missed a couple squirrels by firing on empty chamber.

I have a .177 benjiamin trail xl and this rifle is an order of magnitude better! It's super quiet and very accurate. It comes with a scope and bipod. The scope is ok but the bipod is really cheap. I totally recommend getting a decent bipod because this rifle is heavy. I love this rifle!
