I have the .22 version, and these rifles are very accurate. I have been able to shoot 1/4" CTC @ 40 yards, but most are between 1/3" and 1/2" with about 35 fpe. Count shot is impressive, 96 in the sweet spot.
those target h&n are pants out of my 48ftlb fac at44 in .25 so basicly same rifle the pellets that do work/group well in mine is the H&N Baracuda and the H&N Hunter extreme BUT to get the best from the AT series is to put a regulator in, i get 3 mags from 1 fill 1st mag is 1/2inch high 2nd mag bang on 3rd is 1/4inch low ! hence the reg Robert Lane reg fitted and that has made a huge difference to the poi. you will also find even changing power output by a few ftlb and you will need to change pellet to find another that groups well, iv gone thru months of playing with various pellets and power settings but 48ftlb with baracuda or Hunter Extreme slugs works mint and a SAK mod sorts the noise. shame the AT series is so heavy. But .25 ROCKS...
Hi Rack, what's your opinion about the clearance between bottle and the barrel shroud ? It looks very narrow, in fact so narrow that a little bump could make these components touch each other easily.......
Not a good review in my opinion. You didn't do the gun any justice at all by only using one pellet in your test. The 20 grain H&N is not the ideal pellet for a gun close on 50ft/lb energy. It is a great pellet but was never designed for those power levels and that is prob the reason for your bad groups. Why did you not include H&N Baracuda 30 grain, JSB 25 grain and 34 grain pellets in your review ?? those pellets are far better suited for those power levels.
+stigy61 Fair comment but I use what I have as I have many different guns to test and review be it air, rimfire or centre fire. Buying lots on different types of ammo is not cost effective for me. You could get even better results than the pellets that you mentioned buy casting, sizing, cleaning you own..... buy I do see you point. I need to tap up some manufacturers for free ammo....
At least he didn’t use a Gammo pellet... Agreed, the JSB would have been the best choice in this model. If budget conscious the Benjamin’s are surprisingly good in this caliber.
You did an okay review but you didn't do the gun justice by not shooting a variety of pellets for accuracy or over a chrony to show actual power of the gun. AIrgun Exploration and advancement did the Nova justic.
So here in the USA ,the nova is not offered with anything but a Q.E. Barrel,the new nova-star is without Q.E. I wonder if you can stick A stander non Q.E. Barrel on it? I don't see why not,heres why,I fit A at44long air tube on my standard AT44 short non Q.E. just had to remove end of barrel cap,50 shots ,instead of 30,eventually I put Q.E. Long barrel on it ,I bet the farm a non Q.E. Long barrel will fit on this gun too,then slap on silencer.all this can light.n up the weight of gun. It's all AT44 platform. Who ever gets it done,please put on TH-cam ,I'm sure you'll get a ton of views,if I could I would cash flow to low at this time. Lots can be done on this older nova,hatsan said no to new nova-star side lever and carbon fiber tank,but I'm sure lots can be done, a short barrel would be very loud without silencer, but decrease power to 900f.p.s. Shot count increase would be incredible. .22 cal. 18.13 JSB.🔍🎟🏁💰📺⚖🗝🔑🔓🌠👏🤑
Wow that is one beast of a gun Rack! Nice review as always buddy. Many thanks for your time and efforts!!
Good review, man! That's a beast of an air rifle.
Yep my fav. Magazines too,to hell with,spring loading,breakable ,pellet rattling ,fugly,plastic mags.
It's not a bad rifle for the price for sur..good video mate.

Hello, a query, does the Hatsan Nova Tac long come equipped with Lothar Walther barrel?
Hi Rack, what's your opinion about the clearance between bottle and the barrel shroud ? It looks very narrow, in fact so narrow that a little bump could make these components touch each other easily.......
+Hendrick Otto Hi buddy, seems Rock solid to me, you usually get that with a cylinder rather than a bottle but I know what you mean. Atb, Rack
Always enjoy your reviews, but what's with the three-shot groups? I think five should be the bare minimum, with ten being preferable.
3 shot groups give true triangulation to the centre of the group.
Geoff Pickford that may be true but they don't give a good idea of what the gun can be predicted to do. Statistically they are very poor.

Looks like exactly what the Barracuda Extreme is designed for.

@@mrnickbig1 25 cal love the jsb pellets
@@mrnickbig1 always jsb pellets
At44 vs nova ? .25cal. Is th accuracy th same on both ?
Question: It looks like you are shooting in your garden does this mean that you can shoot FAC airguns in your garden.
+AK Prodigy On a farm buddy 😀
RACKNLOAD Thanks for the quick reply and that makes sense then.
Can you adjust the power ??
darrin goodbrand ,you have to remove stock,airgun web shows how on all AT44 guns,nova platform is at44.
is possible to install a regulator on this gun?
Shoot it from sweet spot fill,and then there is no reason 4regulator,tons of shots still.
