Hatsan Hydra QE

Pros
Bought the hydra qe from AGD three years ago in 22cal have shot thousands of rounds through it with pellets from 14.3g to 21.8g have had zero problems with it very accurate rifle and not that loud and like other reviews I did have a problem with the bolt not wanting to easily pull back but after a few hundred rounds it slides flawlessly no complaints with this rifle at all.

Cons

When you unpack your air rifle make sure that you have everything. And that nothings missing. Mine had NO fill probe.

Pros
I like the wood stock. I like how it looks overall

Cons
I am still waiting for the scope. So I can shoot it.

Great concept, needs a little work.Its new.

Pros
Beautiful gun,great idea and practical .

Cons
Mags fallout,too hard to cock and doesn't hold air .overnight

Pros
it works flawless and very accrete and easy to fill just use a hand pump I can't thank of any thing bad to say about the Hydra.

Air Gun Depot needs better options in handling these issues with customers. And they should also be able to price match because i saw several pcp's a lot cheaper on other websites after i had placed my order. All in all... do your research before spending money on anything.

Pros
What mostly attracted me to this rifle was the ability to change to different caliber barrels. The aesthetics are very pleasing as well. I bought in .25 cal and ordered a .22 barrel from another website that had them a lot cheaper. It has good accuracy and consistency at 30 yds. I havent tried it further out yet.

Cons
The cons are both against AGD and Hatsan. When i received the rifle and i tried to fill it i immediately heard it leaking. Huge disappointment after waiting over a month to get it. AGD said to return it for a refund cause they were on backorder and didnt know when they would get more. Other option was to call Hatsan. No one there answers the phone. You have to email a service request. And theres no telling when theyll respond or when you can expect to receive your gun back. Its horrible. Lucky for me it was a loose screw causing the leak. Tightened it up and we were good to go. Shot about 250 pellets through both barrels and then the cocking lever starts to feel lose until it jams up and wont slide. After some inspecting i can see metal shavings were lever attaches to the slide. Not good. I called AGD for an exchange since i noticed they had some in stock. Waiting to receive it now. Hopefully this one doesnt come with issues. Hatsan needs more stringent quality control.

I’m going to see if I can see it in for warranty repair or replacement

Pros
Powerful when it works

Cons
Very unreliable. The magazine design is awful and rarely works right. The bolt mechanism continues to work loose. The pellets Jam most of the time.

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.
