Hatsan's New Hercules Bully Proves Power and Price Aren't Mutually Exclusive

Looking at the Hercules specs, a 3lb weight reduction and 12" reduction in length would make this a 10lb ~36" bullpup. There's a lot of good stuff: carbon fiber bottle, sites included, 3 mags, sling studs, in stock mag storage, reduced price ... very nice. Based on this image, the only critique would be it heavily favors function over form. 
 
If it only had a power adjustment knob like the Gladius and be fitted with a regulator I'd sell my Gladius and purchase the Bully.
Not sure about the really long scope rail. I do like that Hatsan has extended the lip of the fore stock the length of the carbon bottle
to give it added protection and have the tripod rail built in already
I never understood why the various manufacturers would let the carbon fiber bottle dangle out of the stock without any support and protection.
 
"Seth0764"What kind of power and shot count does this bully have in .357?
I'll let you know. I ordered one in 35 cal from Midway for $799.99 Should be here next week. I already have 2 Bullboss's and a Bullmaster. I also had a Hercules in 45, when they first came out, but it had several problems, and I returned it for refund, "Thank you Pyramyd" In my opinion, Hatsan's can be a little "iffy". You do need to go over every gun, and tighten up the loose screws, maybe try to fix a stripped screw here or there, or maybe get a jewel that is perfect out of the box. And ALL the Hatsan's I've shot, are HARD hitters! :)
