This is quickly becoming my favorite PCP to shoot. I love the AT44 platform and with the 500cc bottle I'm getting 70 shots at an average of 915 fps with JSB 18 gr pellets. And man is this gun accurate at long range.
Hatsan Nova 22 cal
- Thread starter blackdiesel
- Start date
Man that's great to hear as I have really liked both the Hatsans I've owned.
I'm wondering when the super nova will get released here?
Thanks for the info.

I haven't had my nova .22 very long but Soo far really impressed with it.I purchased mine from hatsan USA as a refurbished model for $504.99 shipped to my door.I know it's a refurbished but I wouldn't have known it by it's condition as it looks new.
This thing is powerful , accurate plus a high shot count .I have made a few changes to mine like replacing the shroud with cf tube , added a nice ldc,honed out the 2 mags with a 5.5mm bit, switched out the 2 soft metal screws that attach the Woodstock to the action with stainless steel ones and beefed up the mounting screws for the bipod mount with counter sunk bolts.
Overall very tuff to beat for the money unless throwing a gauntlet in the mix.

I've tweaked it since I first made this post. Now it's shooting the 18 gr JSBs 890-905ish for a little over 80 shots. I haven't shot groups long range. When me and some other guys go shooting we set bottles out to 155- 170 yards. I can hit cans and bottles consistently at these distances.

Definitely not a stalking rifle for someone with a knee injury, but man, I’ve been happy with the shot count especially when the kids want to do some plinking! With a 200 Bar fill and just a smidge under 100 rounds, is just enough to tire the kids (to and from 50 yds to reset all the targets) for that session. Can’t wait to do some night pesting with rats!

Yeah my baby is heavy but she's always on the bench.
Im hoping to do some tuning this coming weekend with some crosman 14.3 domed , hoping to be around 820fps to say 860fps shooting at 30 yards..
I'll post up some numbers if all goes well.
It's hard for me to buy jsb's for 15$ to 17$ when I have access to crosman 14.3 hollow points at 5.84$ or 14.3 domed for 7$ per tin of 500.
Typically jsb are better but Soo far all the hatsans I've had like crosman too.
I just don't understand how their hollow points weigh the same as their domed?I may need to measure them to see where the difference is.

You are correct!
Lately, I’ve just been filling using the regulated AV 90cu-in bottle mainly because it fits nicely in my backpack Upvote 0
Dartagnan where did get this bottle ? I’m between the bullboss and Nova this is my be the deciding factor I would love to see the nova regulated.
Thanks

I thought about regulating my 22 Nova but decided it was not worth it. The gun will give a 20 fps spread and high shot count. Anything under 20 fps is just splitting hairs to me. Hatsan sell a regulated Supernova outside the US, and to this day I can't figure why they don't offer that model here. I even tried to get HatsanUSA to special order me a thumbhole stock from their Turkey office but they would not. The rep said it wouldn't fit. I told him to let me worry about making it fit.

Lol right on man,I tried something similar but I wanted the non QE shrouded version but was told no,they wouldn't even let me order just the parts.

Remove the action from the stock then insert your 4mm Allen into the back but don't cock it ,then rotate the Allen slowly while looking through one of the holes that you can see the front of the hammer.The front of the hammer has a hole completely through it and that's where you insert a nail or another Allen to prevent the hammer from rotating while you increase or decrease the fps.
This can be done without removing the stock but it does make it easier if you do ,so you can find the hole that's in the hammer .
Thanks
tools
Phillips screwdriver
Long reach 4mm Allen,Nail or Allen to fit into hammer
steps
1 don't cock the nova
2 remove stock with Phillips screwdriver (optional)
3 insert 4mm Allen into back of action and rotate till hole in hammer is visible
4 insert nail or small Allen into the hole that's in the hammer to prevent hammer rotating

6 remove tools from nova and reassemble.
hope this helps
