    Hatsan Vectis lever-action PCP

    https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2019...peater-part-1/

    So what do we all make of this?

    Yes, I know it looks horrible and seems to have a muzzle brake from a .50 BMG on it, among other visual horrors.

    But inexpensive, short, lightweight, FAC power, fast-firing.

    I mean, obviously I am into springers, wood stocks, blueing.. And this looks like something the Space Marines (2nd Regiment of Walts) would use. So it’s not for me. But it’s still interesting.

    Spray it orange and white and it would be mistaken for a nerf gun.

    A great concept, and if the action proves reliable I hope they use it on something better looking.

    I wonder how cheap it would be if it ever goes on sale here? £250 and I would take a punt. £300 and I would consider it if it received good reviews from real world shooters. Over that and I would definitely be out. I bet it's price point would be £400+ here.

    Hatsan

    Looks a good ratter and all weather hunter.
    I'd use it.

    Thumbs up

    I agree, you can't beat a nice bit of walnut and some blued steel but, you've got to commend Hatsan - they seem to be trying lots of new things at the moment​.

    All of the above.

    So, £300ish (in the US), 36 ft-lbs, trigger pull under 4lbs.

    This is, I’m afraid, a big bit of the future of airguns. Inexpensive (often ugly) powerful stuff made for the no power limit US market.

    The last air rifles I can think of that were of any interest and best at around 12ft-lbs were the Longbow (2002), the Titan Mohawk (1990s, but limited to sub-12 by physics more than design intent) and the HW99 (1990s? But, again, physics, not deliberate design for the U.K.).

    I really like the look of it but then I love tactical looking guns and have always wanted a lever action but don't like wood or blued steel, I'm matte black and polymer all the time with over 60 guns in that format. I can't find one of these in stock though, have they still not been released over here (UK) or have they sold out?

    Not sure if these will be imported into the uk.

    Set in Sepatia (Indonesian Walnut) stocks, these handsome-looking PCPs are powered by a 460cc air tank for up to 35 shots per fill in .22 cal and 25 shots in .25 cal on max power. If you prefer to conserve air, dial the adjustable power wheel down to get more shots per fill. It is available in 10-shot, .22- and 8-shot, 25-caliber versions.

    ohh, I like the eagle claw (well, not the name).. Like a cross between a Parker Hale Phoenix, and a Career carbine.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    For me, the hump in the forend is ugley, why not free float the barrel, and the exposed filler vlave ?

    don't mind the woodwork, but I figured the picture just omitted the filler cap ? If not, then that's a silly omission on their part, but easy enough to make / adapt one.
    ALso, I figured that barrel is actually a shroud ?

    It's different, but in a world that already has the Parker Hale Phoenix I'm not sure what type of buyer it would attract
