I see Hatsan has the Gladius info posted on their website.

.177, .22, and .25 caliber

Nice looking but any idea on price yet?I gotta get the wife something after the first of the year.

About 1300 US, I was checking out this link earlier today and was considering it http://hardairmagazine.com/news/product-news/new-hatsan-gladius-air-rifle-announced/ but after seeing the video I think with a price point of a wildcat the fit and finish is lacking a little. But there is a lot of things thrown into the mix there.

 

[dodge3500]

Looks cool but for 1300$ better have a reg or no dice from me.

 

[Croozer]

At $1300 they are putting themselves in some stiff competition (FX Wildcat being one), but I guess we will have to wait and see the performance.

I think those MSRP and list prices are sales tools. If you look at the BT65 Elite the list price is $900 but PA sells them for $699 and you can get a 10% additional discount. I doubt it will cost more than $900 to a grand.

If the Chinese guns are now selling for 1200 Euro. What makes you think the Turks won't be asking the same type of money?

No thanks Hatsan, I buy another HW100 for that

Good point, I picked up my BT65 Elite for $569, I was thinking less than $1000 for the Gladius,

Looking at the Hatsan USA website there is no mention of the MSRP.

 

[dodge3500]

Yeah ,if its below the 1k$ mark ?I'll probably get the wife one.

I guess Shot Show will have some accurate information. I've seen on some sites that it's regulated with 240 bar fill level while other sites only show the unregulated version. But a good thing about Hatsan and the removable air cylinders is it's easy to drop in a regulator. I have regulators in all 4 of my Hatsan PCPs.

Sweet,I've overlooked hatsan.

Yep, got one in my BT65.

According to their web site specs,the short version weight 10.2 pounds !
Add the scope and rings,air,and pellets , and we are talking 12 pounds rig .

I saw that but the full size BT65 don't weigh as much. I wonder where the extra weight come from

 

[dodge3500]

Meh,I just plink so weight is no biggie.

It will be a sub $1000 rifle, I have one on the way from Hatsan to review in .25cal. They do not want to cross the $1000 line thats for sure. They have a price point that is where they should be, unless they go all the way with a bottled gun and precision barrel and parts. Looking at the platform I see that I can up the performance just like all the rest.

 

[dodge3500]

Shoot!yeah keep us in the loop.

 

[Mentolio]

Two words: ADJUSTABLE POWER!?!

I will ill be watching this one...and saving my sheckles.

The real shame of it is that the USA distributor chose to go with the bare bones version for import. In certain European countries they distributors are offering them with a regulated tube at the lower end, while the deluxe comes with a Lothar Walther barrel, regulated and unregulated tubes at a similar MSRP to what HatsanUSA has chosen to go with.

Hatsan Gladius Bullpup – Details and specifics from an overseas vendor[/QUOTE]http://www.airgunsarp.com/2015/11/1...-and-specifics-from-an-overseas-vendor/embed/

The Turkish basic regulated package from the Turkish Hatsan store is found here: http://www.hatsanstore.com/hatsan-gladius-bullpup-long-digital-green-regulatorlu-pcp-havali-tufek-pmu1707 

The Turkish Deluxe version version with the LW barrel, regulated and non regulated air cylinders can be found here: http://www.hatsanstore.com/hatsan-gladius-bullpup-lw-regulatorlu-pcp-havali-tufek-pmu1675

I know each distributor has to make their own decisions based on what is financially viable for them as a company and such, but I find this one mind boggling. This is coming from a true Hatsan fan, with multiple AT44s in the gun safe between my wife and myself.

I wish I could get my hands on the regulated 500cc bottle forward Hatsan Nova gun. It looks pretty sweet.
