Hatsan Vectis Lever Action PCP Air Rifle

[@SilentHunter245]

Love the lever action. If it was a regulated PCP, I would buy in a heartbeat.

[@kendalabarca6707]

Every single video You make...is better than the others...congratulations Tyler!!! Great Review.

[@stevem9141]

This is what I've been waiting for!

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

I'm going thru a major retailer's airgun catalog and looking at YT for info on some of the listed pellet rifles. Virtually every rifle has fairly serious deficiencies. There's no other market like the airgun market. Buy a $450 or less airgun and you might have to start asking for fix-it information the same week it arrives. Now go buy a Japanese motorcycle. Lube the chain. Ride it to Washington State, lubing the chain daily. Check the oil every day. As soon as the bike is broken in, take it to a few drag strips and see what times it'll turn. Then ride it to Florida. You won't have a real problem one. By the time you get back home, maybe the pellet mfg will have returned your call about what parts your new 2 months old air rifle needs. The pellet gun business is crowded with guns taken 85 yards toward completion of a fine pellet pusher, but then dropped. An Airgun Consumer's Report is needed. There's no other market like it. Thankfully.

[@pyramydair]

It's not that every gun under $450 will have a problem. It's more common to see people complaining about the issues, rarely people take the time to post a success story, simply if the gun works. Kind of just part of the expectation.

[@johnharvey892]

When I first saw the title I was thinking hot damn...Hatsan has made a multi pump like the Aspen. So I was a little disappointed right off the bat. But.... I think the design is completely awesome. Although I think they rushed getting this out. there are so many things they could do better. The idea is there but it really needs some fine-tuning. it does seem strange to me that they came up with this design when they already have the Barrage. but there are a lot of people that love a lever action out there and I'm one of them. The Winchester 3030 is one of the sweetest rifles you could ever fire. Hatsan still continues to innovate in the air gun world. The only thing I would like to see them do.... Is to come out with a big bore that pushes the 400 foot-pounds of energy that other companies have done. The Hercules rifle is no joke....I would love for them to take that design and platform to make a rifle that pushes 500 foot pounds of energy.

[@alexislaberge8293]

That has some cool feature. Hopefully they will revisit the design.

Awsome review and a great presentation , not bad hatsan vectus lever action.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

A pump from a Seneca Aspen adapted, would be a great mod, compressor free, and with it, the operator is the regulator. That fine lever is quicker than a side lever. New weight with scope maybe 10 lbs tho.

[@bayouflats5054]

Yes! Cooperate an engage/disengage method to go from cocking to pumping…, and WHAM! Winner!!

Lever action excellent, not sure why they removed the QU standard barrel. Great review Tyler!

If I fill my Vectis to the required max pressure, should it be creeping down from the green to the yellow over the space of a week or so in storage? I haven't even fired it once yet. It arrived from pyramydair around two weeks ago with an empty tank.

I'm new to air guns. I liked the reviews and videos on the Hatsan Vectus. In the videos I have seen, they dont show how do you load the mag on to the rifle? When I put the mag on it does not cock. The clear plastic cover turns for me to fill the mag and I have the clear cove lined up with the black cover at the tear drop. Still cant cock the equiptment.

The hatsan flash got good reviews ? Let me tell you about mine the first one I got from P.A. in 25 cal. Only shot low to mid 700s with 20.06 gr. Pellets it should be shooting 825-870 fps with the jsb 25.39s so back it went to P.A. the 2nd one I got was tested by hatsan and its shooting 785 fps with the jsb 25.39 not to bad BUT ! It leaks are like a sieve it won't hold air at all and now Pyramyd Air is telling me to contact hatsan ?! And Ive been trying to call hatsan for 3 days now and it seams like no one works there thay won't pick up the phone ! And if I ever get hold of anyone there I know what that will tell me ( send the gun back ) but I'll have to pay shipping on a brand new gun that's bad out of the box ! I did not build the gun or send it out a faulty gun like hatsan did so why should I have to pay to send it back ? It seams like P.A. is passing the buck on this gun to hatsan and I'm very disappointed in P.A. I'm starting to feel like that got my money now that don't give a crap ! With the 2 in a row bad out of box flash's I'm thinking hatsan sold out to gaom !!!

Air Venturi G7 hand pump from Pyramyd Air and you need the adapter which is 10 bucks and it works great and the pump is a hundred and thirty bucks and it comes with a rebuild kit just in case I know it's not that economical but it's a lot cheaper than most people would think

Makes me want to up the fill pressure until it develops a bell curve

[@hunter-jx4my]

I've already emailed and called and talked to Seth but he's telling me to get hold of hatsan

[@allanwind295]

You don't need the (lame) intro. Solid review. I understand why you did 5 shot groups, and props for explaining it, but each group has a flier and I kinda wanted to see a standard 10 shot group. Does the under level action allow you to stay on target better than side lever? Neat that is faster. The curve and limited shot count highlights the need for a regulator.

[@tylerpatner6591]

For me, as the shooter, those weren't flier. That said, I can tell you sub 1" 10 shot groups are achievable at that distance. The underlever was so easy to operate and requires less position breaking on the shooters part, so yes.

[@allanwind295]

Just to clarify, sub-1" 10 group shots at 45' is just expected performance, and I should not read anything into the particular pattern?

[@tylerpatner6591]

@@allanwind295 I wouldn't say expected performance, because all guns and shooters are different, but for the gun we tested, I have put 10 rounds, sub 1" at 45 yards with it. Usually, if there is a flier (whether it be my fault or maybe a bad pellet), I will call it out.

[@hunter-jx4my]

And by the way when I got my flash I should have got 300 bulls eye bucks for getting it that still are missing never got them !!

[@tylerpatner6591]

It takes 30 days for them to actually hit your account (same time frame as your return window), they are pending until that time frame ends, if you still don't see them after 30 days contact customer service and they will get it sorted out for you.

I'm not sold on the selling point for this rifle. What's next, pump action with the same results? I didn't see a price mentioned but it would have to be dirt cheap for me to be remotely interested. Great job with the review, nice to see a review that is not misleading. Disappointed with the product, the manufacturer didn't do it's best. Thanks for the video!

[@tylerpatner6591]

Actually, Hatsan has had a pump action model of the AT44 out for quite a long time, my experience with those is mixed at best. This lever action is definitely the better route to go.

[@handyallaround5776]

love the lever action, needs to be regulated, way to low shot count, accuracy is marginal, also looks super heavy overall, not a buy for me , with some improvements, it would be top of the line !

No qe perhaps

@@rickrakdixon8922 Glad you like your Flash. We try to do as good of a job as we can with the gun we get to review. Nothing wrong with 3/4" groups at 45 yards, though some folks just love to hate. Your Flash has the full QE system, the Vectis has a completely different set up which is why it's much louder. They say there is some level of sound moderation under the polymer shroud, but whatever is there, isn't helping much. You can watch our Flash review from last year to compare if you'd like.

H&N Baracuda pellets work better from my experience in Hatsan air rifles. JSB's are not bad but not as good as H&N. The Piledriver in my 22 cal Flashpup hits hard and not bad on accuracy. Penetrates (3) 1 gal milk jugs at 20 yrds. Compare to milk jugs shot with firearms. Look it up here on utube.

[@tylerpatner6591]

We tried multiple H&N pellets, including the Baracuda's and Baracuda match, none came close to JSBs in our gun. But this is something I always tell folks, you need to shoot for yourself and see what works best.

[@dchup89]

No power curve at all?! Hatsan didn’t get it right with this one. I think the lever idea has great potential, but this gun is a little ugly and is in desperate need of a tune. You can do better Hatsan.

dont like the small shot count sounds to me to be more of a bench shooting gun or plinker, not a real good shot count for pesting maybe if they put a 300 400 cc bottle then maybe it would be better, then regulate it to 880 to 900 fps with the jsb 18.13. then it would be a great hunting and pest killing machine. I F YOU COULD COULD YOU DO A REVIEW ON THE KRAL NP-03 I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT REVIEWED IF POSSIBLE THANKS ALOT KEEP UP THE AWESOME REVIEWS TYLER.

[@tylerpatner6591]

Depends on distance. If you are under 45 yards, you won't see a POI shift due to the velocity change for at least 20 shots with this gun. Not everything needs a reg, this gun with a larger cylinder or bottle would be pretty slick I think. Guess it really comes down to how many shots you need. For me, pesting is the occasional squirrel or chipmunk in the yard, not a mass invasion of them LOL. We are excited to get the new Kral guns in, not sure what we will review just yet, but will probably be looking at a few.
