I have both AirForce and Hatsan rifles. I've had good luck with both and problems with both. I'd buy either brand again. Hatsan's are a little "rough around the edges" but can be very good guns if you like to work on things. If not, maybe they aren't for you but I have several that shoot very well. I have both .177 and .22 AirForce rilfes but I don't shoot air guns beyond 75 yards. Both of my AirForce rifles shoot very well with both pellets and slugs to that distance-accurate and powerful. I can't see another 25 to 35 yards being any different. Seems the FX support speaks for itself-good rifles at any distance. Every rifle you consider will be disliked by some and liked by others. Lots of options these days.
Don't get me wrong, I like my Hatsan. But I've had quite a laundry list of issues with it. None of which should have ever needed addressing. Not for having bought a new gun.... Then find out the barrel port is clocked, and too far forward. Found out the main gas block was bored way crooked. I had to face the block by hand (not fun) to get the gun to go back together. I had to replace the main valve housing because I broke it trying to correct the off-square bored gas block. I also bent the valve pin when the housing broke, so replaced it. The trigger leaves a LOT to be desired. Even after cleaning it up and dialing it in super well.... the housing all it's components ride in is thin plastic.... so the different links, springs, and components will always have a bit of a soft spongy engagement. Overall fit, finish, and machine work was just sad. I had to take a dremel to the cocking lever and the inside of the action just to get the charging handle to stay shut (they bored the main pin hole in an orientation that was NOT right) The cocking lever would just flop open randomly because the lever would not fold inward enough to really ever lock in place. Um what else.... The debounce mechanism started tearing up the receiver and the hammer pretty much immediately upon use. I detuned the gun and riveted the fork together to help. But the hammer still gets galled up pretty good. I have to keep an eye on it so it doesnt start gouging out the hammer tube. Ah, yes... the magazine slot was also milled far too deep. Removing a lot of structural integrity to my receiver. I actually had to put a different scope on the gun because the from of the receiver is so flimsy. My scope is a structural piece of the gun. Probably some things I missed/forgot.
