Hatsan Vectis Lever Action

TRY IT

Pros
FIT & FINISH SHOOTS AWESOME WITH OPEN SIGHTS.

Cons
NONE

DO NOT GET THIS RIFLE IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER!!! I got the Air Venturi G9 hand pump that came with NO INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND ATTACH TO THE RIFLE. THE MANUAL FOR THIS RIFLE DOESN'T EXIST. THE WOST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD. YOU'RE BETTER OFF WITH A FIREARM

Pros
A nightmare for beginners

Cons
An absolute nightmare for beginners

The last thing I'll mention is the rear sight that came with the gun had parts come loose almost immediately due to perhaps bad craftsmanship from the factory. I reached out to Hatsan and a replacement was sent hassle-free.

Pros
For the short amount of time I've owned the Vectis it's been a ton of fun, with a few minor bumps in the road. It's lever action fun and has big time power in the .25 caliber which is what I purchased! Obliterates anything in its path!

Cons
Here is what is keeping this gun from being perfect: #1) if you are using this gun as a less lethal option for home defense, then do know that the only way to keep the gun ready to fire at a moments notice is to have it cocked which means the gun is constantly "charged" the entire time thus potentially causing wear to inner seals when not in use. The ONLY way to avoid this is to have the magazine detatched from the gun until needed -OR- the alternative I am doing is loading the magazine, having the gun cocked, then firing the first pellet (thus wasting it) and only THEN it's ready to cock again if needed for self defense. #2) The gun came with copious amount of spare O-Rings but the instructions say zilch about where they go to or how to change them out. #3) WHY DOESN'T THE MANUL STATE HOW TO DECOCK THE GUN?? Spent an hour of googling to find out how to decock it and this should be included in the instructions! C'mon Hatsan! #4) THE GUN IS AN AIR HOG. Prepare to refill every 3rd mag!!!

Make sure you’re prepared to buy a scuba tank and a compressor to use this gun or have one

Pros
Nothing

Cons
I think it would say some where in the description that this gun does not take air with a hand pump Also you have had a different air connection so be prepared to change you’re fitting every fill up also

May never be in stock

Pros
Nice rifle

Cons
Never in stock

top choice for air rifleman wanting to get into pcp air rifles

Pros
For people wanting to get into pcp air rifles it is hands down the best value I've found for the price point not only can you get your feet wet with pcp air rifles you can also get into sending larger calibers down range and the pro's and cons in doing so. Although I've been into air rifles for some quite time now having access to this when I was just starting would be a game changer. Even now with as many different calibers and power plants ranging from 150$ to 1,300$ dollars i own now I find that the accuracy and quality of this air rifle in .25 caliber very fun to shoot without having to worry about getting a few scratches. Love this air rifle!

Cons
although this rifle is put together very well some of the components could have be slightly better like the safety very flimsy and seems like it could break off

If you're looking for budget pcp lever action airgun, this is it! Make sure you choose the .25 cal as it'll give more whack! And still less noise than Seneca Eagleclaw in same caliber. I use it for pest control like rat, possum, birds, stray animals destryoing property, small coyote, target tin cans, etc. Have not try on medium size game nor doe, i doubt the power will be enough for ethical kill. Bought 4 extra magazines using only H&N and Jsb pellets. Tried some slugs to reach better distance and more power but somehow sacrifices small grouping, I don't know why but still within 4" group about 40 yards. May be it just me but not the case when I use my Neutronstar .25 cal. Filling the air, I use Nomad II air pump to ease my back as it isn't as strong like I was younger. Overall I like this airgun for form and function as well as quality synthetic stock. Anyway, practice shooting safely and be considerate to everyone as airgun is much more affordable and fun to play with. Cheers!

Pros
This Vectis is almost perfect for me as a lever action airgun.

Cons
Improvement could be reducing weight like 1 to 3 lbs. Excluding scope and bipod weight. May be interchangable screw-on muzzle break with QE shroud. Shot counts could improve a lot with adding a regulator.

i must say this is not a rifle for a beginner, id say more like an advanced novice would enjoy this rifle very much. im no expert, but i have been shooting for sport for nearly 35 years and this is a fun gun to shoot. i can empty a 14 round magazine in less than 10 seconds without even trying. so quick, nearly effortless to shoot. a great sight picture with open sights. thats my preference for optics on any rifle. i have a friend in the industrial gas industry, and he hooked me up with a tank of dry nitrogen gas. is pressured at 3,400 psi and it works like a charm to fill. CO2 is not recommended given the impurities in with the gas eats the o-rings and seals if left under pressure for an extended time. i have only 1 good arm to use so getting a hand pump wasnt really an option for me. a tank to rifle is very easy filling. can be done in a matter of minutes if setup already. im glad i purchased this awesome rifle. THANK YOU A.G.D.! your review on YouTube sold me for sure! happy plinking

Pros
i just received my Vectis in the mail (due to covid-19 lockdown in California) and what a treat this air rifle turned out to be! the throw on the lever is a dream to use, not much in terms of length. only a few inches (maybe a 2.5 inch throw total) and that makes for follow-up shots super quick. i was putting wadcutter rounds in 5 shot groups the size of a half dollar, out of the box! no adjustments yet on the super easy to see flip up/down sights. this was my intro to P.C.P. rifles and im waaaay impressed with the performance of it. i dont even need to unshoulder it to cock the next round. pull the trigger and that pellet is at the target NOW. impressive hits with high-velocity rounds. you can hear the obvious speed decreasing as you get into the heavier pellets. i customized mine to accept removable sling mounts (universal mount by Weaver) and i dig the top length of it being railed. its a large gun, seems awkward to use at first, i familiarized myself with it successfully.

Cons
the single shot trat is small and easy to lose if not careful. ive dropped mine and had a helluva time finding it lol. maybe a stash on-board to store it when not using it would be handy. my fingers are kinda large so loading it iz not without some difficulty. there is not much room to load in single shot mode. i also had an issue when loading in single shot that if the rifle is barrel up, an errant pellet can fall between the bolt and the housing around the bolt. there is about a pellets width all the way around the bolt itself on the shoulder side of rifle and i had 1 or 3 pellets fall down inside. after a couple of lucky shakes they fell out (thank god) but that is pretty much the only cons ive had.

Got this gun for my father in-law for his birthday. I liked it so much I am going to be getting one for my self. Very consistent shooter.

Lever action very nice. Very short travel and NO auto safety makes for quick shots. When I first got it I said what a BIG gun, but once you pick it up is light for the size. Open sights are very good, with a peep in the rear and an hooded in front giving you a circle with in circle for accurate shots.

Pros
Lever action, open sights, full rail on top and short rail on forearm for Bipod or light.

Cons
A little bulky NOT a Youth gun. Fill adaptor only has threads so you have to supply your own Foster connector.
