Thanks for the video review Steve! Looks like you got a real shooter there! I have the earlier version (has the NovaStar name on it) in .22. I purchased it direct from HatsanUSA as a refurbished air rifle. I had a problem with the trigger, but Hatsan took care of that for me under warranty. Mine is a laser with JSB and AA 16 & 18 grain pellets and is just as accurate with the Hades. But when I tried the current offering of slugs (even those you tested) the target looked like it was shot with one of Hatsan's Nova branded shotguns! It does not like slugs at all... Oh well, I'm good with the ability to stack pellet on pellet at 40 yards, so no big deal if mine hates slugs, I have other air guns that love them! Thanks again for the great review!
