Description

Two years after the success of the Hercules PCP, Hatsan listened to its fans with a revamped and streamlined version—the Hercules Bully. The Bully brings the hard-hitting power of the original to a compact bullpup ready to push any pellet around with ease.

The biggest change over the original Hercules is the introduction of a synthetic bullpup stock and the removal of the rear tank in favor of a single 500cc carbon fiber cylinder.  These improvements are the big reason why the Bully weighs nearly 3 lbs. less and reduces its length by 12-inches.  The all-weather stock includes an easy-adjust comb for finding proper cheek weld and features a textured grip and forearm to find a secure hold.  Looking on the underside, shooters will find a lot of bonus features from the integrated swivel sling studs, easy to read manometer, Weaver bipod mount, and even a storage space for your extra magazines.  The mag storage holds two of the three included rotary magazines on deck while you shoot the one loaded into the breach. 

Just because the Bully is a smaller airgun, don’t think for a minute it can’t punch out of its weight class. This PCP won’t sacrifice velocity and knockdown power and remains a formidable target shooter and hunter.  Each rifle is available in .177, .22, 25, .30, .35, and .45 caliber with corresponding muzzle energy of 50, 60, 75, 115, 150 and 290 FPE! Shooters will have no trouble cycling rounds with a quick pull of the long sidelever action and its 2-stage trigger can be set to your preference.  Once you fire, your report is dampened by a fully-shrouded barrel with Quiet Energy (QE) technology. Each barrel is precision rifled and choked to ensure your rounds fly true. 

The big perks of this small package continue in the optics layout.  Each rifle includes detachable flip-up Trueglo fiber-optics sights and a lengthy 9.5” 11mm Dovetail/Weaver combination rail that can accommodate any setup you can imagine.  

You asked--Hatsan delivered!  When you need a PCP built on a proven platform locked and stocked with features, let the Bully boss your ammo around!

I liked the design and looks of the rifle

The clips only accept certain pellets, that not mentioned in description. And it try and see on your own.

I would buy another type of air rigle if you want .30 cal

This is a really great rifle. I have shot all my life and decided to go down the air gun road due to cost and availability of ammunition. This feels like a real fire arm. Sounds like a 22 rifle. Has a lot of power. Once sighted in, I was able to place 19 shots in a 2 inch center to center. I bought the Air Venturi tank and use it with it. Works great.

Nothing.

Ton the internet you will see some complaints about the front grip and moving of the picattany rail affecting accuracy. I used a UTG bipod and never experience that occurring. This is an awesome gun. No regrets. Just make sure when you attach the tank adapter to the fill probe threads that you use plumbers tape and cinch it down with a crescent wrench. Otherwise the tank on the air gun will not fill. Took me 30 minutes googling to find that tip, appears a lot of people had to figure that out online as it is a common complaint for first time PCP owners buying a Hatsan.

I purchased the Hatsan Bully .30 cal based on my experience with the Hatsan Blitz .30 cal, which is an amazing airgun! I was looking for another .30 cal, and decided on the Bully based on reviews and the styling of the rifle. The rifle is accurate, although I did replace the included sights with a scope.

The rifle itself is okay, but it does not pack the punch of the Blitz .30 cal - which it should surpass, and it doesn't. I use steel handgun targets, and the Blitz will swing the target almost horizontal, while the Bully barely makes it move. The quality is less than desirable as well: mold flash and sharp edges all over this rifle (I sliced myself a couple of times on the sharp edges).

The Hatsan Blitz .30 cal is a great airgun. However, this model leaves much to be desired, and Hatsan needs to either lower prices or add better quality control for their products - I returned the Hatsan Sortie .25 cal as well for poor quality.

Response to Phillip: why would you need to clean a brand new rifle out of the box? I've been shooting for decades, and own numerous brands of PCP airguns. None of those required cleaning or tuning out of the box. To Nik: not really what? Are you sure about your claim? Maybe your Blitz is defective 8<(

Philip Jan 10, 2023

My .30 Bully packs a lot more punch than the blitz. Cleaned and properly tuned, my Bully is a pinpoint accurate pest killing machine

nik Dec 15, 2022

not really... my bully .30 shoots over 155 joules which is more then double the power then my blitz lol.

excellent value for the money. Gives me a tight pattern (1 inch) at 50 yards. Very well balanced with no recoil.

haven't found anything yet.

the rail going the full length of the barrel offers a challenge when mounting a scope with a large bell. I purchased high mounts for a 9-16X40 AO MIL DOT. The bell still touched the rail. I had to an extension for the rail to give another 1/4 inch lift. I always buy the 10 for 10 when buying a gun. Pyramydair is always great to work with but sending a defective gun back is a pain. It's worth the $10

The gun is very easy to shoulder despite its heft and size, and the location of the charging handle allows you to cycle the bolt while keeping your gun shouldered and your eyes on target . My 357 is set up with a Hera Arms QCR front grip, a red dot and a 3x magnifier and is extremely accurate. At 30 yds shot kneeling with a bipod mounted I was stacking up slugs. At 60yds a full magazine chewed up a neat 1/2 Inch circle in my target...speaking of slugs, NSA hp in 93gr performed flawlessly. The slightly longer 106gr hp work as well, but require extra care when loading. All 3 magazines provided with the gun worked, and with about 70 or so rounds shot to date, the gun has preformed without any hiccups.

the manual has the two screws used for trigger adjustment switched out. Just remember the rear screws is for adjusting pull.

1. The gun is shipped out with a horribly set trigger,Shooting it as is is really a waste of air and ammo.while trigger adjustment is simple and there are a few videos on line that walks you through the whole process, I fail to see the reason behind the factory setting, and that is why I rated the gun a 4. that said, 2 full turns for pull and half a turn for travel gave me a short, crisp trigger,
2. Unless you plan on only shooting it on the range or the great outdoors, a silencer is another must. The Ronin from DonnyFL keeps my neighborhood happy, but you can go bigger...

I made a major mistake by purchasing a Hurcules from Wholesale Hunter because of saving 200.00. I purchased a new 25 caliber from Wholesale Hunter just to recieve a used beat up Hurules rifle. I was told to contact Hatsan and Wholesale Hunter will not refund my purchase and wholesale Hunter ordered the rifle from Hatsan and recieved it in that condition. I contacted Hatsan with my situation and Hatsan asked for the sr#. Then informed me the rifle was manufactured in 2016 and has no warrenty. To add more imbaressment Hatsan stated they do not do business with Wholesale Hunter. This rifle was purchased as a gift for my son. He has served 3 tours of duty in Afganistan. As a disabled person, money is tight. But I have learned a valuable lesson and will only purchase from Pyramyd. They are a distributor for many top brands and stand behind their products. So dont let fake discounts steer you away from Pyramyd. I have purchased from Pyramid and should have known better.

I should have known better and ordered from Pyrayd. At 64 years old, I'm still learning from my mistakes. Please take this post very serious. I have purchased from Pyramyd and will always for now on.

Only do business with Pyramyd
