One dealer will be selling these for $430 this year. I think the gun looks very nice. Anyone have any experience with Hatsan and care to comment? I had the Turkish Kral tactical Semi and although it always fired, all the other parts on the gun seemed to fall off or slide out. I think this will be the best deal going on a semi. I only wish it came with a folder! (more for aesthetics than functionality)
 
think of it like a Leapers of Falcon scope ... you're buying ALOT of features, but not alot of quality ..

so dont expect it to be on par with even a mossberg or a remington .. but if you are after those features and are prepared for a warranty claim here and there because it doesnt function as it should, or breaks ... go for it
example: im buying a Stoeger Vursan instead of a benelli M2, but im well prepared for any problems becasue i know Steogers dont have a great name


that being said you may never have a problem with it..

personally i think it looks pretty sweet
 
From experience of the hatsan hunting combo you get multiple chokes as well as two barrels for a fraction of the price of the leading competitors, however the machining as well as parts are not Mossburg or Remington quality. The one I have used worked well but You get what you pay for.
 
I've never used or seen one (the site won't load the images for me), but Fenix has a good point: As long as you're not expecting excellent quality for that price, it might be a good choice. Lots of people go with the DA or Norc or Stevens instead of a Remington, Mossberg, or Ithaca, and they seem plenty happy with it. If you're willing to get dirty, you might be able to polish up the magazine tube and any machining marks if you've got issues with function, but that may not be necessary.

Still, East Coast makes another good point: If you want the replacable chokes and such, the hunting combo might be a better choice, assuming you can get all the accessories you want for it (stock, ghost rings, whatever else you require). I don't know the cost on that though.
