I just got done cutting down some big ol polk salad and giant dandelions. I am thinking the pull is darn good.
Hatsan One Week with the Hatsan Velox .22
- Thread starter CharlieF
- Start date
Any advise on the caliber to choose for Velox? I see only 22 here tested if I’m not mistaken and I tend to think 22 would be the best. Opinions about .177 and .25 if anyone tried?

I would try the .177 and report back so we can compare the best purchase. I tend to agree with you so let us know!

I think that the .22 is the best option.
Over here only the .22 and .25 are sold.
Much easier loading pellets then a .177

Shot the Velox a lot and I really like it.
No malfunctions what so ever.
Shoot alway on a remote line and a regulator set at 180 Bar.
A lot of fun.
Can't get it that the trigger is so much better then on my Invader Auto.
Best Hatsan out off the box so far for me.
Much better finished.
Next week I am gonna take it a part.

That's a "signature" Hatsan design, they have such rails on every gun. They call it something like dovetail / Picatinny hybrid rail, correct me if I'm wrong. But the truth is that this rail is a real PITA and does not work well nor for dovetail nor for Pic mounts. Hope they realize it soon and just have a standard Pic rail on their guns.

I have about 500 rounds though it now with zero malfunction. It is so much fun using iron sights alone. Good little plinker and about as accurate as a powder burner (comparing my SW Mod411). Great fun for under 20 yards (old eyes). Notos I have is awesome for popping tree rats under 35 yrds. The Pulsar, king of all PCPs, rules the tree rats from afar and after weighing them finds them lacking.

Well after two weeks and over 2000 CPHPs, I have settled on a red dot sight. The iron sights are adequate and a scope produces a tight shot group, but the red dot is the middle ground and meets my needs.

Shot a 150 pellets today.
Standing at 12,5 meters with the open sights.
What a lot of fun to shoot it!
I am planning for a red dot, but first I must adres the terrible mounting rail.

I am really enjoying the Velox. I have well over a thousand rounds thru it by now and never had a malfunction. I shoot it almost every evening after work. I even swapped out the barrel for the one on my jet once because it’s a little longer. Doing so disabled the semi auto function so it worked like a straight pull bolt. It still automatically recocks but you have to cycle the bolt to load a pellet. It gave me an idea for a pump action micro carbine, not likely to actually do it…. but hey. I wish someone would come up with an extended block to add both cylinders over/under style like the jet2. loving it, now where did all my pellets go?

I now have over 5K dnownrange with mine. The accuracy amazes me. I hope they come out with a carbine version using the same semi-auto action as the pistol but with a longer barrel and short stock. It would be like a semi-notos. I think Hatsan really hit a home run with this pistol. It is just fun to shoot.

Zero issues here and good out to 40-50 yards. I would by this again, this PCP pistol is like the sleeper the Notos was. I own high dollar PCP gear and I am not lifting up my nose at this Velox. I might need to buy another just so I can dual-wield and waste even more CPHPs wearing a big ‘ol smile.

What’s the trigger like? Is it cocked and ready to go after each shot or are you both cocking and releasing with each pull of the trigger Cap gun style?

Truly semi-auto like a powder burner. After the last round the bolt and charging handle remain partially forward with the pellet probe depressing the magazine syop/no-pellet area.
1000 rounds for me, zero malfunctions, and I have done very fast cycling to the point of dumping 12 rounds downrange in less than 2-3 seconds.

Cool pistol. Anyone think there is mod potential for a bit more power? Want to shoot .25 cal at 650-680. FPS
