Pros
I am waiting for some pros. I ordered a Hydra in October in 25 cal. Later I ordered a .177 barrel also. I received the Hydra in Nov. , mounted the scope and went to fill it with air. The air poured out around the gauge as fast as it went in. I contacted Air Gun Depot, (they are good ) got a repair number and sent it back. Three weeks later my replacement gun arrived, I tried to air it up but air would not go into the tank, It blew out the other side of the fill port as fast as you put it in. I checked the O rings, they were brand new . It is December after Christmas and I am getting ready to return the replacement gun and the .177 extra barrel and go with another brand of gun. I have been told that Hatsan is a good company. Maybe so, but I am skeptical of this model.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Does it come with a fill probe? Also what would be the best way to fill the tank?
asked Cody from USAIt does come with one, threaded in 8mm, so I had to also order a quick connect nipple to connect to my hand pump. A PCP hand pump probably is the cheapest way to fill it. You can check with your local scuba shops to see if they sell or fill tanks, or look into a pcp compressor that can pump up to 300 bar (4500 psi). The rifle can be shot between 100 and 200 bar (1450 - 2900 psi).
Darren from USAwhat would be a good scope and rings for this gun
asked John from USAThe ones I bought were High profile, 21mm(0.8 inch) from top of the dovetail rail to bottom of rings. The magazines just do fit under the scope with about 1/16" clearance.

I picked up the arrow upper from another site since it wasn't available here, which was my main reason for going with this rifle. I'm looking forward to trying it when it gets warmer
Pros
I purchased the .22 version of the Hatsan Hydra QE, and it's a very nice rifle for the price. I had to order some high profile scope mounts, 21mm / 0.8 inch from top of the dovetail rail to bottom of rings, and the magazine just does fit with about 1/16" to clear the scope. The single shot tray clips in and stays in place, and it was nice to get two rotary magazines included. After a couple of days off and on of hand pumping I was able finally shoot it and found it to be fairly accurate at 27 yards. Using the sound meter on my phone I was showing about 90 - 92 decibels.
Cons
I like the walnut stock, but the laser engraving for the grip areas looks a bit over done, no real consistency in the checkering of grip areas, but it works. I'll probably do some actual checkering on it when i get time. It was louder than I was expecting, but at 90 decibels it's still not bad.
