I bought a Non-PAL AT44 W in 22 cal.
It shoots 14.5gr. pellets at 477f.p.s. and will group into .5" at 25 yds.
I get about 150 shots if it is charged to 200bar and shot till it's at about 100bar.

The only other PCP that tempted me was Air Arms models that have a power selector knob, but the Hatsan cost $300 and the Air Arms PCPs run about $1000.
 
Finally got my Hatsan AT44-1022. Shoots terrific.
Here's a look at it:

20 yards indoors. 5 and 10 shot groups, plus some adjustments to elevation that add some low or high shot.

Certainly shoots 5 shots under a dime at 20 yards.

A little closer look at the mechanism. It has a 10 shot rotating cylinder, like a revolver. You can remove the cylinder and carry spares, or reload it while it is on the rifle. You pull back the cocking lever to rotate the cylinder, push a pellet into the chamber, and #### the hammer. Has an adjustable trigger, which is set to a decent weight and brake from the factory. Dovetail mounts for 3/8 and Weaver rings. You fill the air tank to 200 bar (3000 psi) with a tank or pump. After 100 shots it went down from 200 bar to around 175. No change in point of impact.

The iron sights are pretty decent, so I opted for using a quick release ring set, in case I want to ditch the scope.
 
The rifle was only $349.00. I had a scuba tank already, so that helped with not needing a pump or to buy a scuba tank. I got a cheap adapter for filling the gun from the scuba tank for around $30 from China on ebay.

The stock feels great. The pistol grip makes for a nice trigger pull and the flat forend is great for resting on your palm or a bench. The air flow is regulated by a valve with a pin like valve stem. It is currently a large diameter to restrict air flow. You can cut the pin diameter down to increase velocity up to 970 fps with 22 pellets.
