If something goes bad or breaks, I’d just make it. No different than a Taipan or other quality guns from over there with almost zero parts availability.I've always liked the looks of the Hortitsia, especially with the 330mm barrel in .22. I like the continuous scope rail for better mounting options and I like the looks of the black ash wood stock. The only thing that concerns me is the after service support being that they're based out of Ukraine. @Vetmx, Any experience with that?
Yes, that’s a gen 2 which I didn’t want. I wanted the straight pull bolt. I was concerned until I realized that nobody was importing the gen 2 so luckily I was able to get what I wanted.The version on Zbroias website looks to have a cocking lever versus the bolt on top guns website, and the bolt shown in @Vetmx photos.

The Huntsman Revere is an awesome gun. But I definitely recommend going with the regulated version so that you are not beholden to constantly minding the power curve sweet spot and limiting your shot counts if you want consistency. Regulated you can just fill to max and shoot dead nuts accurate until it falls off the reg. Regulated guns are far superior, especially for people who just want to shoot pellet-on-pellet without the fuss. There's a reason that nearly all of the newer, quality PCPs being made these days are regulated.
There's videos on youtube showing the difference between regulated and unregulated with this exact gun. Decide for yourself which shot string you would prefer. It's an obvious choice, IMO.
Im not famililiar with Airgun Revisions, but I will check into that.Airgun revisions has their custom shawty , a shortened .25 maurauder. 35”
Unregulated has a place. Fill em to the predetermined pressure, and refill them at the predetermine pressure, and they can be as reliable as the sunrise.Years ago I had a few un-regulated rifles, and sold them once newer, regulated similar models became available.
Some would argue about the simplicity of unregulated, and I would agree, they are simpler.
But generally speaking, I would always prefer regulated.
Well there's the Hatsan Flash. $380. It's 42.5" inches long. Solid platform. My 22cal Flashpup has the same chassis and is accurate out to 50 yds. I've had it 5 years now? Has never leaked. I don't think it needs a regulater. My first 2 shots on a fresh max fill may be 3/8' high at 35yds? I think the stock on the Flash is buttugly. But that's a personal thing. Steve of AEAC has done a review of the Flashpup if you want to check that out.Short, affordable, and traditional.
Im looking for a short carbine, that is inexpensive and traditional in apperance.
Id prefer:
1. LESS THAN 41" OVER ALL LENGTH
2. LESS THAN $900
3. .22 or .25
4. TRADITIONAL LOOKING. (Wood stock, no bull pup)
5. ACCURATE TO 50 YARDS.
I have the following on my radar that are close, but are longer than I would prefer:
44" Avenger X
41" Aircuda Max
40" DAR Dynamic Gen. 3
There must be other options.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Very impressive!Well I couldn’t help myself, I had to try 75. I had to zero it at that distance because I had no data to go off of. Here’s 5 at 75 with 18.1’s going 830 ish FPS. It’s a good little gun. And very quiet with no mod. Noticed on these longer shots because of how much harder I had to focus, the trigger is a little spongy or maybe the first stage spring is too stiff. I don’t think it hurt my groups but I may have to take a peek in there and try to make it a little crisper.
