I have a Hatsan AT-44. Paid $250 new for it on sale. Shoots like a $500 gun and is accurate and powerful. Weighs too much to shoot free hand, but benched or tripod-ed it is a joy to shoot. Added a TKO LDC to tame the bark, and a Hatsan regulator to bring the power down to reasonable levels. I love the gun and love the way it has a lot of unique features, but there is no way Hatsan is going to produce a gun worth $1100 with their current level of tooling. $1100 is a lot to drop on a new platform that really has not been proven.
