Hatsan Jet II

The Hatsan AirMax is a premium PCP bullpup rifle engineered for hunters and long-range target shooters who demand consistent field performance. This sidelever-action air rifle delivers exceptional shot counts through its impressive 490cc total air capacity, combining a 400cc bottle with a 90cc tube for extended shooting sessions without frequent refills. Hunters across Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Germany, and France consistently choose the AirMax for its proven reliability and downrange power. The intelligent bullpup configuration keeps overall length at just 940mm while maintaining a full 585mm barrel, ensuring outstanding accuracy in a highly manoeuvrable package that performs brilliantly in dense woodland and open country alike.

The AirMax is available in 4.5mm (.177), 5.5mm (.22), and 6.35mm (.25) calibres to match your specific hunting requirements. The .25 version delivers up to 57 Joules of muzzle energy with velocities reaching 295 m/s using lead pellets. The .22 produces up to 46 Joules, while the .177 generates approximately 35 Joules for flatter trajectories. Maximum fill pressure is 200 bar, and shot count varies by calibre: roughly 120 shots in .177, 95 in .22, and 85 in .25. The rifle weighs 4.9 kg and features a precision-rifled German steel barrel with a choke for enhanced accuracy. The 1/2 inch UNF thread allows silencer attachment for additional noise reduction when permitted.

The QuietEnergy system includes a fully shrouded barrel with an integrated sound moderator that reduces noise by up to 50% without sacrificing power or accuracy. The two-stage Quattro trigger is fully adjustable for both trigger travel and pull weight, allowing you to customise the feel to your exact preference for consistent break shot after shot. Two detachable rotary magazines come included: 10-shot for .177 and .22, and 9-shot for .25. The combo optics rail accepts both 11mm dovetail and Picatinny mounts, while a Picatinny rail beneath the forearm is ready for a bipod. The rifle also features a manometer for monitoring air pressure and an anti-double pellet feed mechanism that prevents jams.

Owner feedback from European forums reveals some quality control concerns worth noting. Several users report issues with pressure gauges not functioning correctly from new. O-ring failures are common, particularly on the pellet probe, which can cause air to vent near the shooter’s face. One owner described this as a puff of air in the eye during shooting. Some users report leaks developing over time that require O-ring replacement and servicing. The wooden stock is heavy at nearly 5kg, which can be a drawback for hunters carrying the rifle on long treks across challenging terrain. The anti-double pellet feed mechanism is effective but requires careful magazine loading to avoid jams. Some owners also note that the magazine indexing can be stiff initially and requires a break-in period.

The AirMax is a tack-driving rifle that consistently delivers exceptional accuracy with quality pellets. Owners regularly report excellent results with JSB Exact and H&N Field Target Trophy pellets, with many achieving pellet-on-pellet groups at 30 metres. The regulated pressure system ensures consistent velocities shot after shot, making this rifle ideal for small game hunting and varmint control across European countryside. At longer ranges, the choked German steel barrel maintains tight groupings that inspire confidence. For hunters in Estonia, Finland, and Sweden, this accuracy translates to reliable ethical kills on rabbits and other small game. The regulated system gives the AirMax a clear edge in shot-to-shot consistency compared to unregulated PCP rifles.
