Ghostrider1979 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Been reading reviews on both rifles and spoken to an air gun shop reference both. They told me to go for the hatsan because I'll get more for my money. What is everyone else's opinion? Depending on the numbers reference both rifles I'll choose what ever you guys say.

blasterjudd Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi mate I've got a Hatsan AT44 had it a year now it's superb value for money real quality gun, it's 11.8 ft lbs and very accurate. My mate has a Daystate and it shoots just as well as his but just not a status symbol! The Hatsan is quite heavy and needs a webley qgs silencer or Hatsans own which is identical to the qgs, otherwise it's fussy on silencers so be aware of that but do not let that put you off. Ive also got a BSA scorpion T10 which is better than the ultra but the scorpion is light and ideal for a long day holding the gun. Choice is all yours but my vote would go on a Hatsan AT44 Good luck let us know what you choose. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge911 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 cant comment on the hatsan as ive never seen one let alone try one . but i can comment on the ultra as i,ve had a 10 shot one and they are spot on i fitted mine with a edgar brothers scirroco silencer as the one they come with as std are rubbish. if you go on to the bsa owners forum there is a member on there called tench he is the man to do any mods i,e regulating them cracking piece of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider1979 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Not a bad start one vote for each. Lol will need alittle more info though before i go out and splash the cash. By the way I'm only looking at the single shot BSA can't afford the extra for the multi shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasterjudd Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Ok then definately go Hatsan you don't want to go fiddling around loading pellets it's a waste of time and foddly in the dusk? and you will miss more opportunities with a single shot! Don't forget you will only get 30 shots from BSA yet 90 with Hatsan before needing a recharge again a no brainer on choice!!! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider1979 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Well two for hatsan isn't bad but still need more info guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve177 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Never shot, or held the hatsan, so cant comment. BUT i do own a single shot ultra in 177, and i have loved it from the first i held it in the shop. with a 170 bar charge ( which is where its sweet spot starts)i have around 30 on target shots. but for safety i allow for 25. I use the rifle both for HFT, and Hunting, and friends have commented on how light the rifles is even with a silencer and torch fitted. The other big + i give for the rifle is the ability to de-cock it, so moving over obstructions etc becomes more safe. Love my wee Ultra and altho i have shot a few others, and always come back to it, such a joy to shoot. I used the Weirauch silencer on it, and it makes such a diffrence, and i feel it aint too heavy either. HTH Steve P.S. Good luck with whatever rifle you eventually choose, if it gives you half the pleasure that the Ultra has given me, then you will be a happy bunny Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy75 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I have an ultra tactical in .177 - great wee gun. Fast handling, quick to cock, lovely and light. Not quite as accurate as my HW100, but then it was a third of the price. Great gun - buy British! (saying that, I have no idea where the Hatsan is made. Ignorance is bliss!)

Ghostrider1979 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'm starting to think BSA is better after listening to what you have all said. Good job I don't listen to the shop where I'm buying it from. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretagentmole Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I had an AT44 W10, beautiful rifle, well balance, quiet as quiet can be, lovely side action, much easier to use than the Hokey cokey blasted Ultra, also you cannot double load an AT 44, not a lot of people know that! Hatsan in my book. I only sold mine as the wife bought an X2 she did not like and space was limited. Well who would not swap a Hatsan for a Daystate?
