Buyer Beware

Pros
Looks good

Cons
Terrible customer service and terrible product. Purchased a Barrage .25 caliber air rifle from Hatsan. The air cylinder wouldn't hold pressure despite changing o rings, etc. Contacted Hatsan, and couldn't have been more disappointed with their customer service. They didn't seem to care about helping me solve the issue. The bolt is jammed and I have requested my money back. I have not heard a word. Would never buy another air rifle from Hatsan, ever.

This gun will send pellets down range rapidly. I did misfire a few times—the magazines were stiff from being new and did not rotate a new pellet into place, since break-in there has been no failures.
The trigger is stiff and nonadjustable but the gun is easy to keep on target if you fire at a reasonable rate.
I have only shot this gun at a 25 yard range and it is Just as accurate at this distance as any other PCP rifle I own. I can put the pellet in the same place over and over.
It does seem to be a bit louder that the other Hatsans with shrouded barrels—not so much it cannot be used in the back yard.

Pros
Semi automatic fire that works well--just something not seen often with air guns. Accurate

Cons
Heavy rifle, Heavy trigger--do not buy it for the younger people in your family.

I purchased the 22 cal from this site. The barrage arrived fairly quickly. I pumped it up using my omega supercharger. Loaded a magazine with 18 gr exact jumbo heavy pellets. First time firing, I got pellets jammed in the barrel. I mean REALLY jammed. Sent the rifle back to airgun depot. No questions asked (thank you). Second barrage 22 arrived. I noticed the bolt action seemed a little "stiff" kind of metallic grinding. Got out my aerosol silicon spay. Small amount of lube seemed to help. I worked the bolt manually for a while until the bolt seemed to move a bit smoother. Now, on to the magazines. With some trepidation I might add, I examined each magazine. As you might guess I was worried about what had happened before. Out with the silicone lube. Each magazine received a little squirt of silicone, and i worked them around a little just to make sure they were not overly "stiff". Loaded again the 18gr jumbo heavy's. The magazines and the gun WORKED!! Huzzah!! As a side observation after about 10 magazine loads through the gun. I found that inserting the magazine into the breach area works best to just insert the magazine and do not attempt to make it "non-moving" Dont force it down to a flush position. Why that works better for me is an unknown. As of this writing my big decision concerns what to install as an optic. Stay tuned dear readers for more on the adventure of an intrepid Barrage owner. (just kidding)

Repeater action works flawlessly with true high speed semi-automatic output. Fun to shoot. Somewhat cumbersome loading of magazine (skirt first). Good options for adjusting cheek rest and butt stock. Trigger pull pressure very stiff with no adjustment options.
Quality of gun not what is typically expected from Hatsan; the front sight-assembly fits tight between the barrel and the tank exerting pressure on the barrel necessitating re-zeroing of scope once attached, lower plastic cover shows 5-6mm gap between it and tank with flexing when bipod attached. Very small hard to read (depending on lighting) pressure gauge concealed in handgrip. Compared to my Benjamin Armada .22 the Barrage is far less accurate in delivering pellets, at least with the 2 different pellets I have used so far. There might be an ideal pellet though. My experience is that every 3-4 shots there will be a flyer out of the grouping and this is with slow repeating action.
36-40 shots per fill.

Pros
Great fun to shoot. Flawless, fast repeater action. Large tank. Sturdy.

Cons
Precision. Trigger. Quality of gun not what expected from Hatsan and relative to price. Rifle Case not molded
