I’ve had my Hatfield SAS for about six months now and I couldn’t be happier. It’s reliable and shoots smoothly. Perfect for both hunting and sport shooting!

That’s great to hear, sean63! I’ve heard mixed things about its weight; how does it feel for long days in the field?

The weight is just fine for me, tracey86. I can carry it around without any issues. Plus, the balance is spot on, which makes aiming much easier.

I’ve had reliability issues with mine, to be honest. The first few times I used it, it jammed a couple of times. Has anyone else experienced this?

6

I had a similar issue at first, but after a good cleaning, it’s worked flawlessly since. Maintenance can really make a difference.

Interesting point, millercassandra! I always clean my shotguns right after use, and I’ve never had a problem. Maybe that’s the key!

Do you all think it’s worth the price? I see a lot of options on the market but this one stands out a bit to me.

For sure! You get a solid shotgun with good features. I’d say the value is great compared to competitors.

10

I think a good shotgun also deserves good ammo! Blame the shotgun all you want, but sometimes it’s the ammo causing issues…

Haha, totally agree! I once tried some cheap shells and it ended in chaos. Lesson learned!

I’ve owned the Hatfield SAS for a year, and it’s an interesting option in the semi-auto market. The price point is quite competitive, especially compared to the Benelli and Browning, but it doesn’t always measure up in performance.

13

Could you elaborate on the specific performance issues you encountered? I’m considering this model but want to know more about any potential drawbacks.

14

I’ve shot both the Hatfield and a similar model from Mossberg. The recoil on the Hatfield felt a bit sharper to me, but the ergonomics were decent. In terms of features, the Hatfield lacks a few bells and whistles that come standard with more expensive models.

15

Yeah, I’ve noticed that. The molded stock is comfortable, but it’s not as adjustable as other brands. Anyone have thoughts on the reliability of the Hatfield during long shooting sessions?

The Hatfield SAS is affordable and offers great value, but comparing it to something like the Remington 1100, it’s definitely a step down. It might be great for beginners, but seasoned shooters may prefer more refined options.

I’m new to shotguns, so I was thinking of getting the Hatfield SAS. Does anyone feel it’s beginner-friendly? I’d appreciate a few pros and cons to help my decision.

Absolutely! I think the Hatfield SAS is very user-friendly for new shooters. The simplicity in operation makes it less intimidating than others like the Beretta A400.

19

Performance-wise, the Hatfield fits the bill for casual buyers. I mean, if you’re not in the field every weekend, it does just fine. But if you want to shoot competitively, you might want to spend a little more.

True! You get what you pay for, right? I’d rather not miss a shot – especially when there’s a turkey on the line! I’d love to hear from someone who’s really put this gun through its paces.
