Notos all the way !!

[@dillonstruikmans8548]

I went through this choice recently and went with the Notos. For the price it cannot be beat. I'm a big fan of micro carbines also and actually my daily gun I carry in my truck is my Evol Mini. 2 totally different tiers being top and bottom price wise but I thoroughly enjoy shooting both equally. I never would have recommended a gun so cheap before but the Notos hits way higher than the price point and I think everyone should own one!

[@W_Desert_life]

The Notos instantly became my favorite gun to shoot. With a vortex spitfire 3x optic it is a handy tool for vermin control.

[@PureBloodWNC]

How quiet is it with the fixed moderator?

[@BravoBassin]

I own both of these in .22 and I can tell you at least with my 2 that the Umarex Notos hands down kicks the Hatsan Jets 2's butt everyday all day long. In my testing with the ones I have the Notos is more accurate at longer range's super quite lighter and just a nice gun to shoot in my opinion. Nothing against my Hatsan jet 2 either as I really like it as well but the Umarex is just a way better gun and if I had to do it over I would have just bought 2 of the notos as the jet is heavier does not have near the range and accuracy as the notos and you are right it is loud and I mean sound like a loud 22 or 17 rim fire going off. I do like the iron sights on the Jet and I like the build as well. the range on the jet 2 to shoot accurately is 10yrds out to 20yrds anything after that so far for me is not good at all. But the Notos so far out to 40yrs is a tack driver and will shoot a quarter inch group at that range. I have not been able to take it out farther yet but out to 40yrds with the notos I would have no problem shooting at a rabbit or squirrels head. A far as the Jet I would not shoot past 20yrds and most likely for me at least I will keep it in between 10yrds and 15yrds. Both guns I only shoot 3 mags through them and then re fill the air tanks.

[@PureBloodWNC]

Does the Notos come with a moderator?

[@BravoBassin]

@@PureBloodWNC yes it does and it is super quiet all you basically hear when you pull the trigger is the click of the trigger and a little puff of air. I have taken out many back yard pest with it and watched there buddies just sit there after i shot the other ones never even flinched. it is a great air gun and well worth buying for sure. I wish I would have just bought 2o of the notos over getting the jet 2. but I do plan on buying another one so I can have 2.

[@kevinnielsen1356]

You are comparing a pistol to a carbine.

[@BravoBassin]

@@kevinnielsen1356 well actually both come in pistol or carbine form so I would suggest checking your facts my friend as both have removable stocks to shoot them both ways.

[@kevinnielsen1356]

@@BravoBassin Hmmm. My Notos does not have a removable stock. Ahh, there is a new model of Notos in pistol form. Thanks for the heads up. Too bad the suppressor is not removable on the new pistol Notos configuration.

[@robbierobinson8819]

As someone who also prefers microcarbine over pistol - mainly because I am not a great shot with a pistol - I am watching everything I can on these two. Thanks for your comparison, which as always, makes for informative and personalised watching. Now I am eagerly awaiting the range tests.

[@gumbystown]

I agree with everything you said Rick I owned the notos and two of my friends have jet 2's so I've got to shoot them side-by-side and I would definitely go with the notos

[@williamwilson2624]

They both look like nice guns. For me personally, I would lean more towards the Notos.

[@georgeloveless4176]

I own the Hatsan Jet in 25, but I honestly wouldnt mind owning the Notos as well. Thanks Rick...I appreciate your work.

[@ksmha15]

Thanks, Rick for this late evening video. My choice would be the Notos, the regulator is for me the selling point. When i was looking for something like this the Notos (and Jet) they were not yet available. Instead, i bought a PP750 Snowpeak. Even cheaper and with the sliding stock easy to convert between "pistol" and rifle.

[@MysticalDragon73]

Great down to earth no nonsense video. Well done. As I'm new to airgunning ive been trying to do my research. Ive heard of so many reliability problems and terrible customer service with hatsan it certainly makes me steer clear of them until they can resolve this.

[@ashleysteen5678]

The main problem with most of their rifles is threefold. 1. Quality control is crap at best. 2. There are no clear instructions on how to adjust the rifle adequately. 3. They are overpowered to the point they are almost useless. I purchased the air max and it was plagued with problems that was unreal. It took me over 3 weeks to get it to group at a quarter size at 50 yards. None of the problems were major, it was numerous small things that was frustrating. The airprobe didn't have a vent hole. The barrel had rust inside of it and was crowned to deep. The Quattro trigger was set up wrong and the pound of the trigger was at the max. The trigger linkage was loose and I had to use o rings to tighten it up. I had to oil every moving part to get it to loosen up. The shroud was over tightened and had to loosen it up so the barrel could float. I had to loosen the hammer because it was shooting way over 1200 fps. Hatsan rifles love heavy pellets, the heavier the better. I use crosman hollow points 14.3 grain and it pushes them like nothing. If the QC was better the rifle would have more respect.

[@Juan_Reyes_308]

Love the Umarex Notos... It's going to be my first PCP. Looking forward to the Notos... Nice review, thank you...

[@shield400]

FYI: The buffer tube on the Umarex Notos is Commercial-Spec NOT Mil-Spec. I have measured and confirmed this and have replaced my Notos buttstock with a Magpul ACS-L Commercial-Spec and it fit perfectly.

[@robertgregory5246]

I put a fab defense GL Core on mine just to have a cheek riser.

[@pointnozzleaway]

23 yards for me. Jet 1 .177. Awesome.... Notos .22 . Awesome... So wish I had more yardage. But still Good Fun!

[@1davechandler]

I only have experience with my break barrel but have been looking at several of the PCP’s and I’m looking to buy the Notos, it is my favorite for a entry level PCP. Thank you for a great video comparing the 2 guns.

[@codystarantulas2845]

I got one love it now I want the gamo urban

[@justjoeoutdoors3499]

No doubt the Notos is the clear winner here for 90 percent of people, I love mine. I think a head to head between the Notos and the long time reigning champ, marauder pistol should happen. They seem to be more direct and comparable competitors

[@zacharymiller2686]

Just ordered the notos so excited for it to arrive…

[@johnnybbgunner2136]

Nice review as usual!🤠☕️

[@snop6176]

Exactly the vid I needed. I want one of these but I'm not sure which one lol

[@YOURKILLINGME]

NOTOS! is great. I was thinking about getting the jet 2 but after seeing this i will stick with my notos.

[@terrywells3955]

Both look Awesome

[@amrak-8401]

I love the Notos and it’s a great air rifle. But if you are a sci-fi cosplayer the Hatsan Jet in the pistol configuration looks fantastic.😍👍

[@whspioneer89]

I already had the Hatsan Jet. Midwayusa gave me a on time birthday discount this week so I ordered a Notos for $219

[@kevinnielsen1356]

I bought a Jet2 in 177 from Midway for $146-. An incredible bargain

[@jramosx]

I bought both Guns , hand down NOTOS is my favorite ,

[@johnnybbgunner2136]

I am running my NOTOS in pistol form.🤠

[@randerson867]

Waiting for the Jet III

[@jamesoconnor8044]

I own a Jet 1 in .177 and a Notos in .22, and love them both. The Notos hands down has a better trigger, and is more consistent, being regulated. I use both to eliminate invasive Iguanas in my So. Florida neighborhood.

[@Chirpy_Ceilingbird]

I have the jet 2 and my notos is currently en route to me. I have a feeling I’ll prefer the notos before long but I will say that I really like the jet 2. I don’t do anything but plink with it but it’s crazy accurate out to 35-40 yards with H&N baracuda’s. Mines a .177

[@johnnybbgunner2136]

I added fully adjustable AR15 iron sights with a Vortex Strikefire2 red dot with a 3X magnifier for really fun shooting.

[@robertgregory5246]

Yup. Got Magpul irons cowitnessed with an actual 5x Trijicon ACOG that used to be on an AR that broke. Accurate as hell

[@bayouflats5054]

Thanks. I like the rugged little “ carbines”. I have Jet One and really like it. Like that can hot swap air cylinder. Just sharing out loud- I’d like to see if one of the larger air cylinders from Hatsan that allow hot swap, will fit Jet. That, with little longer barrel. Then I got something. Don’t know if you mentioned it - the front blade sight on Jet does adjust for windage.

[@erenasker825]

Loved the video. I own the Jet 2 and want to know exactly which bipod you got so that it is compatible with it. Do you have the amazon link or can you please tell the brand and the model of the bipod? Thank you.

[@fin59shaw]

I haven't shot either one, but I do have both Umarex and Hatsan brands, both seem like nice quality. I did order the .25 Jet II, it will be here tomorrow. I don't mind adding a moderator, and I also preferred not to have this particular platform to be regulated. Either one should be good, but I also wanted more than a .22. As far as I can tell, the Notos is only in .22.

[@joznew1]

Notos for me for hunting

[@kevinnielsen1356]

An unrelated or adjustable regulator/power rifle is much more powerful for hunting. The Notos is regulated for moderate power and is not adjustable.

[@domparisi3913]

Have a Jet 2. On the front site there's a screw fixing the the site from moving. If you loosen it the site can be moved left or right thus allowing for windage. 😉 Don't forget to tighten the screw.

[@johnnybbgunner2136]

NOTOS Nation!🤠🇺🇸

[@Laserwurks]

I'm disappointed with HATSAN. I HAD PURCHASED A 135 22 HATSAN WHEN it had a spring in side. At shot 4000 the spring broke I sent it back for warranty repair. I thought I would upgrade it to the new vortex ram. A huge mistake. They warranty at least 4 vortex rams and the all went dead in two weeks or less . The 4th went flat after less than 50 shots. Also the trigger had failed one of the cast parts failed. It was taken off warranty and I had purchased the ram and the the trigger and it was shooting perfectly 🥰 then it sat for two week and during that time I was busy setting up my first pcp JTS Standard in 22. Then I was going to crony the HATSAN and compare group but that shifty vortex hatsan ram was flat as a pancake. One would think HATSAN USA would want to make thing right but all they did was price out a spring kit for it. If you look on gateway to air guns web site you will L Find me under Hatsanman13 and all the great reviews I had done on the hatsan 135. It's a shame on there service department could fix it right at any of the five times they had it back.

[@Jeeper1378]

With the buck rail trigger assembly you can adjust the Notos trigger down below a pound without the hair trigger like stock.

[@organiccleanfoodconnection]

I’ll let you know I ordered both

[@paulbecker7266]

My wife and I own both. I like the notos for the looks and overall feel, but the notos trigger is stiff and has a funny feel combined with the magazine and cocking lever are fiddly, not sure ive ever got a full mag through without troubles. The jet 1 we have is far superior in smooth cocking and much better trigger feel, but I hate that the air fitting is not standard foster like the rest of my guns

[@BackyardDispatcher]

get all of them 😁

[@johnnybbgunner2136]

Can your shoot the Jet right or left handed in pistol form?

[@davethompson3252]

Accuracy? That’s a huge part of what I need.

[@geo1903a3]

I bought the Notos, and could not get air into it :( (Tried both Hill pump and Nomad II compressor). As Nomad II topped off two Marauders, I knew compressor's OK -- and sent Notos to Umarex. Awesome warranty -- received it back 11 days after sending it, to get report that there's nothing wrong with the arm! I tried again, and by hooking desiccant tank to Notos, with normal gun-connector to compressor -- it filled to my 3,000 pound setting. It appears that the air probe I got is out of spec. I spent two hours on Internet to no avail trying to purchase a replacement. So far, this is the only "down" to the Notos. Oh... added magazines seem to not yet be on market, either. I'd surely love to be able to buy two more! george

[@highvoltagevehicles1900]

If the Notes is completely empty, it will not fill unless you cock it. Never run it to zero. I fill at 2000 pounds and bring it to about 3300.

[@heathhalfhill6401]

I just bought the Notos from PYA at 20% off for 233$ and it is so quiet. I'm getting 18 shots before the chronograph numbers start dropping. My suggestion is fill every 2 mags if your shooting the gun stock and Crosman 14.3 grain hp pellets @ 745 FPS. I haven't adjusted a thing on the gun yet and this is what's happening with mine. At 25 yards it is holding an inch group. With Hades 15.89s it is going 735 FPS and the same with Daisy Hollow points 15.4 grain. All 7 shot groups @ 25 yards and around an inch or less.

[@MyAirgunPhase]

Just a quick side note: you may want to change your phone PIN now... There's something about the Jet 2 that looks like 80's futuristic to me, so I can't wait for them to be available in Europe.

[@renterp]

You have all but made up my mind Rick. The Notos will be my next airgun. When Gman and I meet up I’m hoping to shoot his and get the fever real bad. ;) great video bud.

[@jamesvaldez2379]

I own both guns and I'm on my second Notos that won't load pellets without getting stuck between the barrel and magazine. I am now sending my Notos back and having to buy after market Magazines to see if it will help. I'm sorry I bought the gun, I can't use it, the Jet2 works fine loading pellets. I've fired at least 200 pellets out of it, not one jammed pellet.

[@stevengoodman3498]

Notos for the win! 😊

I got a notos , I like it but wanted to upgrade it … not easy with that suppressor And you can’t buy a replacement barrel. I was shooting copper and had no problem but switched to led slugs and the barrel jammed up . I nocked out slugs but I’m nervous it messed up the moderator ? And they won’t touch it because I changed it up bigger tank z block But I just wish they could sell a new barrel /suppressor ….?

The $5 grips and iron sights should have came with the rifle.

[@ozzie4414]

I prefer to run the Notos as a micro carbine. The barrel (with moderator) is too long for me to comfortably use as a pistol. I wouldn't ever use the iron sights or pistol grips. I like the lower price without these options. If you really need/want to have them, you can get both for $9.99 each from Umarex.

I have owned Hatsan airguns in the past. I can say that this company has a terrible customer service. By default they blame the customer for whatever goes wrong with their products. Hatsan never again....Notos for sure.

[@MysticalDragon73]

good to know and echoes what ive been hearing as I research airguns.

[@kevinnielsen1356]

This is a somewhat bogus comparison. The Notos is a carbine, the Jet is a pistol. The Notos is regulated and the barrel is 50% longer. That fact that the jet (pistol) is compared to the Notos (carbine, regulated) is testament as to how good a pistol the Jet is. I own 2 Jet2's, 22cal and 25cal and a Notos 22cal, all are excellent airguns.

[@AirGunWeb]

Hey there. I appreciate your comments. The comparison was based on folks requesting it. They are different each with benefits and deficits, something that I bring out across multiple videos. One point to consider is that while the Jet is more pistol than carbine; it does ship with the kit to be a carbine and is marketed as such. So while they are different, they are also marketed similarly. I also agree they are both decent. I’m personally more inclined to the Notos for my shooting needs and preferences, but that doesn’t mean that I would imply the jet is a bad product. Cheers AGW
