[Superlag]

Anyone seen that the new Hatsan Carnivore (.30, .357) has a side lever action now? Model name the BT65SL.

I think the regular BT65 caliber models (.177, .22, .25) are still coming in side-bolt action, but I'd imagine they'd all be converting over to side lever eventually. I was wondering why inventory was getting so spotty with the Carnivore... now we know why. If the .25 or .22 come in side lever I'd be all over that to see if it'd be a good slug or hybrid slug shooter.

I like it mine but you know..always selling to try something different..my. 30 shoots great n I didn't find it heavy...the galatians those were really heavy but they shoot great to...those bt 65 do good when regulated ..

I purchased a .357 SL from Field Supply for 447.13 

I haven’t shot it yet, need to clean the barrel. As I understand they are filthy from the coating that’s put on them for the trip across the Big Pond

Yeah cleaning the barrel when you first get it is a good idea. I just got a refurb'd Hatsan FlashPup in .25 and the barrel took a good 8 patches to clean it out. Shot pretty good before but completely impressed with accuracy and a slight tune afterwards.
