Barrel droop on Hatsan 44 QE

[MDeBarge]

Has any on experience this on there Hatsan when adding a scope?

I believe the problem is the gun needs a better barrel band,the Hatsans I saw all had this problem. The way the stock mounts onto the barrel band can sometimes kink the barrel down towards the Airtube. I know Travis from wickedairrifles.com is working on a fix for this.

Hatsan AT 44 Long QE? If so .... see my 100 yard video. For my Hatsan I have not experienced what you have written about.

My Hatsan AT 44 Long QE is the short one in .22 looks like I will have to shim the back of the scope in order to zero out the AIM Sports 6-24x56 A.O.E. Scope, at 20 yards and the elevation bottomed out I am hitting about a foot low.

yep, shimming is called for, but with that much droop you might consider adjustable rings

I eliminated the barrel bands on my AT44 & it shoots much better without.

Sent an email to Hatsan to see what they might do, this is a brand new to me refurbished rifle, will see what happens

I have 4 Hatsans and have not experienced any problems with sighting in scopes, maybe you just got yourself a lemon? Neil.

This rifle is a refurbished AT 44 QE .22, I removed the scope, and went through the Rifle, found the the cap on the end of the schroud was loose and also the schroud it self, causing the pellet to clip the plastic end cap and the plastic insert inside of the schroud. Cleaned barrel tightened up everything, re sighted the scope. Now getting sub half inch groups at 25 yards with Crosman pellets. Contacted Hatsan and they are sending out some replacement parts. Now to see what kind of groups I can get going out to 50 yards.

so those that have the AT 44s, what pellets are you using?
