Hatsan Galatian Tact Auto

I had to return mine. It wouldn't take/hold air. After many attempts and checking out all connections on other PCP rifles I gave up. But good luck to All.

Pros
Semi Auto count me in.

Cons
Very Front Heavy

Pretty back yard friendly as far as noise goes. But must have a target rated for 22 LR ammo. My original airgun backstop was way too flimsy for these pcp air guns..

Pros
12 shots .22 without cooking is more fun than pulling the bolt each time. Just got this this week and have cycled through 10- 12 shot 22 rotary magazines. The magazines took a couple tries to master the loading procedure, but once mastered, it's simple. Installed an inexpensive red dot scope still keeping the front site there as my front site for the green or red dot. Took approx 6 magazines to zero it out at 10 meters while sitting on a bucket and holding this beast with my 61 year old hands and arm. No bench rest or support. At 61 wearing progressive glasses, it was pretty simple for a good tight group. A Snapple bottle cap at 10 meters was 12/12 . Multiple in the same hole as to not register, but also not hit the wood board that it's attached too. Inexpensive Crossman .22 premiere 14.3 hollow points. And a $28. Red dot. Get 4 full mags out of 3000-1000 psi. Almost 100 pumps to bring it up to charge. But I also have a compressor and 4500 1.5L hpa tank. Just got back into shooting.

Cons
Nice if the fill probe came with the female threaded quick disconnect plug. Plus an owners manual with a parts breakdown.

This rifle MUST use a tight fitting skirted pellets. I am using the H&N field target trophy pellets and the Benjamin 6.4 dia. pellets. The semi-auto function will not work if you use a pellet with a small skirt, that is somewhat loose fitting. My rifle did not work with the H&N Barracuda hunter supreme pellets. I was ready to call AGD and send the rifle back for a replacement until I went back to using the H&N field target trophy pellets, then the rifle worked perfectly. This rifle is a little picky with pellets, but when you find pellets that work, use them. the rifle must have a tight fitting pellet to seal the barrel in order for the semi-auto to function properly. I would buy this rifle again, this being my first semi-auto pcp rifle.

Pros
The look of the gun and the semi-autoloading, the feel of the gun and the power. the adjustable stock and the pistol grip. I got mine in .25 caliber to use on pests and varmints on my land. This gun has more than enough power to do the job.

Cons
I would lighten the trigger pull and make a better design of the magazine.

And get a PCP compressor, you will enjoy the gun a lot more if you don't have to spend your time manually pumping it up. I have had a lot of Co2 guns and was a little intimidated with the PCP process, thinking it would be too complex and costly. I found a new Hatsan Spark PCP compressor for about $329 and it was well worth the money and in the long run will pay for it's self in just my time and sweat not manually having to pump it up with a hand pump.

Pros
After waiting nearly a year for this to come off of back order, I can tell you it was worth the wait. Very well built, nothing cheap or flimsy about this rifle. I chose the .25 cal. model and am not disappointed with the power. Cleanly penetrates 1 inch white pine shelf board, adding a second board behind it and the pellet makes it about half way through the second board at 10 yards. The fiber optic sights are spot on right from the box and they are nice, red/green optics on the sights. The sights are capable of windage and elevation adjustments. They can be easily removed from the top rail to put on other sighting options such as red dot or scope. The fore stock has 3 picatinny rails for lights, lasers or bipods. The gun comes with a picatinny mount foregrip with a pop out bipod. The foregrip mount is a bit far out on the fore stock for a comfortable grip as the gun is just over 9 pounds, kind of muzzle end heavy. The rear stock is nicely adjustable in length and stock height.

Cons
The instructions that come from Hatsan could be more detailed. If you have never owned a PCP as I haven"t then you will spend some time on Youtube learning how the charge you rifle and what all the parts are that come in the box, lots of extra o-rings of various sizes, you will discover what a de-gasser cap is. Much different that just popping in a Co2 cylinder and twisting an hex wrench, BUT that is just the issues with the instructions and parts list or lack of. The gun is great, well worth the wait and the money.

Exchanged original purchase and received one of the finest PCP's to date. Everything works fine, rapid fire magazine feed, everything. AGD was very good with the exchange and shipping was fast and easy. Very pleased with the end results of this transaction.

Pros
Accuracy, rapid fire semi auto feature, hard hitting.

Please read total comments for accurate understanding.

Nice looking rifle. Getting it to shoot semi auto is questionable. At times, lucky to get a single shot off. Not sure what the problem is. . . .trigger pull is unpredictable and shooting in semi auto mode is not a smooth operation. Disappointed at this point in the operation of this rifle. Possibility of receiving a bad unit, unable to determine. Contacted AD for assistance. All operating instructions were carefully read in addition to pellet selection & mag loading and cylinder air filling. Will attempt to get a better operating rifle before considering a 5 star rating. As is however, cannot recommend. That is subject to change as I strongly anticipate happening.

Pros
Nice looking, well built, removable sights, rails for accessories, 3 mags included.

Cons
Semi auto firing is not a smooth operation and often single shot does not fire.
