Hatsan AT44S-10 QE .22 or Umarex Gauntlet .22

[Renegade_626]

What up fellas, just want some opinions and good advice. I like most you have bought into the hype on the Gauntlet rifle and i also too have placed a "Pre Order" but i am a guy that would rather spend more money and get some high quality poop than something cheap stuff that to be honest don't know how it is going to perform. I would rather spend 150 dollars more and get something with much better quality and with good review's like the Hatsan AT445-10 QE. Just want some opinions and does anyone have any experience with the Hatsaan? The Umarex Gauntlet looks cool and a steal for the price but i have a small room and don't have that much space for a lot of air rifle's, I wantt to get like 1 or 2 PCP rifles and thats it.....for the moment....Lol. I am thinking of purchasing the FX Impact, FX Crown, FX Independence and FX Monsson later on in the future but want something good for now. Let me know K fella's thanks a bunch

Renegade, I know nothing about the Gauntlet. But I have Hatsans. I would recommend them to anyone. They have a lot of power, are very accurate, easy to work on, and heavy. The last being a negative. Another good choice is the Marauder. I think for your first PCP you should pick one that has a proven record, and people out there that can help you fix or find a problem that might come up.
Good luck

Jimmy,

Yeah the marauder is nice but i wanted to go with something a little different than an ordinary looking rifle and particularly a side lever action which is why the Hatsan appealed to me.

I really really like the side lever action. The hatsan is a little rough at first, but it gets better the more you shoot it. Mine are starting to get fairly smooth now. Kind of find the rear bolt unhandy now.

Like everyone else I can't comment on the Gauntlet. I do have the AT44S-QE .22 and have been very happy with it, just a little on the heavy side. Very accurate out of the box. Air Gun Proshop has a refurb in .22 right now for $410. https://www.airgunproshop.com/shop/refurbished-hatsan-at44s-10-qe-22-cal/

Old Corps,

Thanks for the info, I did run across another gun that i was looking to buy instead of the Ats44 which is the "Galatian with open tru glow sights" do you have any experience with this rifle in .22 caliber? thanks

Guys, so i have been doing some searching and came to a conclusion that i will be buying the Hatsan Galatian .22 caliber but have trouble whether to choose Synthetic stock or Woodstock. I love the tactical look and rail mount of the synthetic but the Turkish walnut looks soo nice, i am contemplating on just being BOTH....seriously. Let me know what you guys think, i think i am going Air Gun crazy....LOL
