I was at Walmart this afternnoon so I cruised through the airgun section to see if there was anything new. They now sell the Winchester 500 (scope included) for $149.94. I'm pretty sure this is still the Turkish Hatsan rifle with poor trigger. It looks like a Hatsan model 35S with a regular style wooden stock (regular grip). I saw the 35S safety button at the rear of receiver, which the plain 35 doesn't seem to have.

I have never shot the Quest 500 or Winchester 500 (Hatsan 35S) so I cannot give an answer. Maybe someone here has tried both rifles.
I "lube tuned" and did some shooting with a friend's Hatsan 55 and was not impressed. Loud, lots of recoil, poor breech seal design, sloppy trigger design. Accuracy was okay for the 10m groups I shot (offhand).
