BEAUTIFUL STOCK
The first thing you’ll notice about this rifle is the rather wonderful stock. It’s made from a genuine Turkish walnut and is finished magnificently. I love thumbhole walnut stocks anyway (who doesn’t!), but this one just seems to have it all for me.
The adjustable, ambidextrous cheekpiece or comb is a really nice touch, and it’s really easy to get it exactly where you want it by simply undoing the two large screws, moving the cheekpiece and then tightening the screws down again. You can actually remove it altogether, so there is the possibility of having it dipped or rubberised if that floats your boat.
The overall feel of the wood and contours of the foregrip feel great, and I found it a very comfortable rifle to shoot with. The butt pad is also fully adjustable in both planes for height and cast.
A REAL CONTENDER
It’s clear from the outset what Hatsan is trying to do with the Nova Star. Everything about it gives the perceived idea of quality, right down to the gold-plated trigger and guard. Yes, you read that right!
