Hatsan’s newest addition to the Nova platform offers numerous upgrades over its predecessor, including lighter weight, higher velocities and more shots per fill.

Weighing in at 8.4 lbs., the Hatsan NovaStar is almost a pound and a half lighter than the Nova and features an ergonomic thumbhole stock made of high-quality Turkish maple. It also adds a height-adjustable comb, increased muzzle energies and velocities. According to Hatsan, maximum muzzle velocities of 1300 FPS (.177) are achievable, alongside maximum muzzle energies of 37 FPE (.177). With numbers like these, it’s a suitable target shooter, pest eliminator and small game hunter.

The Hatsan NovaStar PCP air rifle also features an adjustable Quattro Trigger, fully shrouded barrel, a 480cc carbon fiber air cylinder and Hatsan’s patented Anti-Knock System, which helps prevent wasting gas when the rifle is knocked or bounced. It even has a spare magazine storage compartment built into its stock.
