Page 2 - Hatsan Jet II Reviews

Well I liked the gun at first but the valve pin broke.

The way Hatsan USA deals with warranty issues.

I contacted Hatsan USA by phone and email due to my purchase being past 60 days, so PA would not deal with it. Took them several days to respond by email and still no phone call or resolution to my warranty issue. I didn't like questions being asked one at a time with days between for answered emails and Hatsan USA needs to fix this problem that one phone conversation would have fixed. Shane at Hatsan can't use a phone I guess so it jacks up and extends the timeframe it takes to get anything done with warranty at Hatsan USA. After this experience I will never buy a Hatsan again and will more then likely get rid of the ones I have. May ditch PA as well as they should have handled the issue from the get go. Also Shane will not respond to my emails because they sent me a How was your experience with Hatsan return and I laid it out. He didn't like it I guess. So now I have a expensive paperweight.

Very compact, fits in my Thompson Encore soft case when broken down. Surprising accuracy in .25 cal. Hand pump friendly, 100 to 250 bar in 65 strokes with Air Venturi G7.

Lose the quick disconnect for the proprietary fill port and go to standard. Quick connects on my compressor and carbon fiber tank will not fit the fill port. My hand pump has a slightly larger one that works. Threads on the supplied adapter port disconnect will not fit the standard 1/8 adaptor needed.

The gun has a bark to it. I put an air stripper that was laying around on it. Didn't calm it down much, but increased the cool factor. Mags work well and pellets cycle smoothly. Sub 1" at 30 yards with 25.39 JTS Dead Center and JSB 25.59 Hades. On a fill from 250 to 100 bar I am getting 27 point of aim shots. Finishing out mag #5 shot 28 ~ 30 drop 1". No power or chrono information. I mistakenly loaded .22 cal in first mag making my pro chrono the guns first casualty. Mounted a BSA 2 x 20 pistol scope scout style allowing for pistol or carbine format without changes. Other than the fill issue, my Jet II in .25 shines.

Its compact, light weight and accurate. Its affordable and comes with two magazines.

It is loud but I bought a buck rail suppressor that fixed that problem. The quick disconnect that comes with the gun was leaking so I bought a replacement for it on amazon. But the gun its self didn't leak just the disconnect was leaking.

This is a 15 to 25 yard gun max for small game IMHO.

Very well build weapon

None

Make the air compressor valve is seal good secure; stop it from leaking.

Shoots great. Get around 40 shots. Once I figured out the red dot sight,it was on. Had 2900 psi when I got it. No leaks. Quick to refill with compressor

Don't know yet

Hatsan's claim of anti double feed on pellets is inaccurate. They all double feed, even the jet 2.

Holy Cow!!! I purchased this bad boy, thinking it would shoot like a $299 gun. I had no expectations at all. I watched reviews that were OK on YouTube, they stated that this gun is a 25 yard max small game hunter. I said OK, why not. When I received the gun, I aired it up, dropped a scope on it, put a DonnyFL Tanto. All good. I started at about 15 yards to sight it in...Wow! pellet on pellet. Backed it up to about 25 yards...still pellet on pellet. Of course being consistent with hold and trigger pull plays a big part, but man! I figured OK cool 25 yards is good enough. Saw myself a dove sitting on a power line about 70 yards, I said why not. I lined her up, about 4 mil dots high, squeezed the trigger and SMACK!!! winner winner chicken dinner! It's capable, it's very capable! It's a bit more plastic than I am use to, but the material is pretty robust.

Weaver rail on the top for sure! Foster fitting a little weird and tight! A bit of a wobble on the stock, but some gaffing tape works well, as recommended by an online user. Larger magazines please, it has room. Also maybe some way to store an extra mag in the stock? A regulator would make this gun an absolute great seller, of course price would go up, but I can see this gun really shine with a regulator!

I was quite surprise with this gun. I bought it out of a whim, but looks like I will be keeping it. I sold my Leshiy 2, so I miss having a small hunting gun. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't compare to the quality and upgradability of the Leshiy 2, but it's a fun little packable shooter. Fully charge to 250 bar, I get about 4 mags of really good shots, sure you can extend it to about 42 shots, but that's pushing it. I use a 90ci 4500 psi paintball bottle to air it up, it gets me quite a few charges up to 250 bar. Then more at 200 bar and so on, as the pressure in the bottle starts to drop. But for sure you will go through a small tin of 15.89 pellets with the 90ci bottle easily. It is LOUD without a silencer, not backyard friendly, atleast I don't think so. You will need a silencer, besides I think the DonnyFL tanto actually added to it's accuracy.

Well Built, light and compact, accepts a moderator with an adapter.

Could use a better picatinny rail, it's not exactly to spec.

It's a 15 yard gun, maybe 20 yard. This, in a .177 cal configuration. Shoots Premiers well! Fun to shoot.

I purchased my Hatsan Jet II in .25 caliber. I spent a range day with it yesterday and am very pleased with how it performs! My thing is to shoot it in pistol form. I set up .22 rimfire NRA legal steel silhouettes and shoot at them at various distances from 15 to 25 yards. These steel silhouettes are made from 1/4" thick steel and are HEAVY. At all these distances the Jet II knocks them down with authority! I was shooting the Air Arms Diablo Field domed pellets which weigh 25.4 grains. I'm getting 30 useable shots off of a 250 bar fill and in the last string of 6 shots noticed that the pellets were striking about an inch lower than the top of the fill... Matthew in another review commented that he's seeing 620 ft/sec with FX Hybrid 26 grains and I believe him! Very solid power out of this pistol! The biggest thing for me is the twin air reservoirs that make 30 shots a reality at this power level! Game changing!

It would have been great if the top rail was either weaver or picatinny, but it was no problem to mount an 11mm dovetail to Weaver adapter at the rear and throw on my favorite Feyachi RDS-22 two MOA micro red dot sight. When I first looked at the fill probe I was ecstatic because it looks like a standard Foster. Finally! No..... It isn't.... It's very close, but the dimensions are off some. I couldn't get any of my Foster female equipped charge hoses to fit. Fortunately, one of my charge hoses had the correct female threaded connector to accept the Hatsan provided fill probe. A little nylon thread tape later and I was off and running! Other than these minor issues I think Hatsan has hit a home run with the Jet II!

The report from the Jet II is loud. Not nearly as loud as my Barnes .32 caliber Heritage pistol or any of my Quackenbush bigbore Bandit pistols, but loud enough that it might be a deal breaker in some locations. Fortunately it has the ability to add a 1/2 x 20 UNF adapter and then any DonnyFL moderator one wants to quiet it down. I couldn't fit this in the things I like above, but I really love that this pistol is on the light side due to the polymer material used and that it's dimensions are what I'd call true pistol-like dimensions. It's not excessively long... This is another benefit of dual reservoirs connected by a manifold beneath the barrel! I wonder if other manufacturers will take note here? The molded grip is very comfortable! Expect to get around 20+ FPE with this pistol in .25 caliber. I love that Hatsan is conservative with their specs! When I first got into adult airgunning back in the late 80's a 20 FPE airgun was considered the king of magnums!

Ok so this is a great little close range PCP and fun to shoot but it is loud and I mean 22 rim fire 17mag rim fire loud so just be aware of that but the plus side is it can take a moderator to quiet it down some. This gun is great at 10yrds and 15yrds and anything in that range is toast for sure with JSB 15.89 or 18.13 pellets but once you step out to 20yds things spread out a little but still accurate enough for pesting and squirrels and a rabbit if you are a good shot. I was getting decent groups at 20yrds with a red dot site and the open sites as well but every so often things would open up a little more and I could not figure out what was going on. I will say that I thing this gun is best at 10yrds to 15yrds that is were it has shined for me so far and at those ranges this thing is dead on. at 20yrds soda cans will be toast as well not a problem a red dot site or open sites I think is the only way to go with this little gun.

no more fill probes just a good foster connection to the air cylinder. a true weaver rail for the top as the rail on it fits 11mm dove tail stuff I had to add a 11mm dove tail to weaver mount to put a red dot on it. Better flip up sites as this can only be adjusted for elevation up and down there is no left to right adjustments for them that I could find?? Make it suppressed so it is not so loud as well or include a suppresser and adapter with it. the magazines that come with it maybe be a little tight and hard to turn the wheel to load pellets in but this is an easy fix just by loosing the center screw a little and this well allow the spring to work and the mag to work properly. a metal cocking lever as this one is molded plastic of some sort.

All and all this is a fun little PCP gun to shoot and for close range pesting or picking off a rabbit or squirrel at 10yrd to 20yrds I think this will do the trick. I only tested JSB 15.89gr and 18.13gr pellets in mine and both seems to work well. I rated this gun 4 stars all over due to the fact that the rail is not a true picatinny rail and the flip up sites have no left to right adjustment in them that I could find anyway. and that I do no like fill probes on air rifles they all need an attached foster connection do not know what companies in this day keep using removable

Wonderful gun for small game and plinking. Added a DonnyFL Sumo and an Air Arms S510 1/2 x 20 adapter and it became super quiet and accurate!! The stock makes it so steady!!

The valve to add air is little too tight for most quick connect adapters. Only one of my hoses fit and it was tight!! Need to make adjustements on that.

Added a red dot sight and now it is easier and more fun. That sight is what that gun needed!!

Perfectly good gun from Hatsan. Seems to shoot well with 27gr. Atomic rounds. Well thought out for moulded/printed offering.

Optic rail... not sure how you'd fix it but the shorter of the rails, closest to the shooter, is SHORT and scope mounts (leaving room for the scope turret) do not fit. My prism scope is too long as well. Part of the problem is that I am setting it up for carbine style/back pack gun and the front rail is way too far up for proper eye relief. The side mounted pic rails are removeable ... Just makes the gun wide for accessories that only wall hangers want. Point of this is that the screw that you remove is too long when you set it back in without the rail assembly. It's an allen keyed screw with a bigger head and since it doesn't seat completely it protrudes... an extra screw, flat head and shorter, in the kit would work just fine. Also need to mention the nut that they molded/printed into the plastic moves in the gun when you pull that screw... took a little doing to get it threaded back in.

OK sooooo... I see where people are questioning the QD probe they send with the gun... On my Jet2 the longer collar is needed to negotiate it onto , and off of, the fill port nipple recessed in the front of the bottom tube.. almost seems to have slightly different specs than a standard QD fill port nipple. Also, I thought I'd just replace the QD connector on my compressor hose but figured to check/see if my other probes will work in that long collar piece they send... good thing I did because my AV 1/8" adapters (I outfitted my other probes with) DO NOT seat proper. They're machined with a collar to stop them at a certain point.

It's a good looking gun, it seems to shoot accurately enough. I got it as a pistol, but it's nice that I can make it a carbine if I want to.

The instruction manual, the filling method. See below.

The Jet II has a horrible excuse for a fill probe. Mine leaked horribly, and I could not get more than 70 Bar using it. And here's what you do about this. Throw the adapter in the trash where it belongs. Let me explain. On the lower tank, there's a rubber cover on the fill port. Remove that, then unscrew the end cap on the lower tank. Now you have a standard male Foster fitting. Just hook your pump, compressor, or fill tank to it. You have no need of an adapter. I don't know why Hatsan felt the need to put a worthless and defective adapter in with the gun. Hatsan needs to ship the gun without that adapter, and just say to remove that fill nipple cover and unscrew the cap to fill the gun. Hatsan finally made a gun that has a standard Foster male fitting for filling, and they still want you to use a proprietary adapter. They could simply redesign that cap that screws to the end of the tank so it's just a screw on dust cover.

This Jet 2 packs a punch, super light weight, looks are robocop/futuristic, love the safety and the flip up fiber optics, the grip is nice. It has a thump its quite loud for 3 medium. Donny Fl sells the adapter for the Jet so you can add a moderator.

For the price Hatsan could of added a adaptor for a suppressor and the fill probe they send you needs a male foster probe. I filled my jet directly from my compressor unscrewing the cap from the jet cc directly.

Comes with two magazines. Overall its a great gun and I cant wait to compare my Jet II to my Umarex Notos which has been on back order for way too long
