Hatsan 95 Combo Vortex Reviews

The stock on mine is amazing. I find the cocking not hard at all. The accuracy is pretty good, I have the .25 caliber. The scope is a little cheap, site picture is bad, but it does hold zero so far (I think the scope stop is helping).

there were some pings and pongs as the piston settled in but that might just be mine. It might just be the pins getting seated correctly, this piston has some slam. I would have only included a better scope or none at all and pass on the savings.

This baby hits hard so be careful and use all safety precautions.

It's a powerful, blued gas piston air rifle with decent iron sights and an actual walnut stock that's priced very well and is plenty accurate. It's not made in China like so many of its competitors are.

I wouldn't include the cheap, useless scope. Also the integral can on the QE version needs a more efficient baffle stack, but those are readily available on the aftermarket.

I got the .22 QE version on sale. I didn't even bother mounting the cheesy, cheap scope it came with. Utter garbage. My kids use it for bird watching. I got a Hawke 2-7 x 32 AO scope with a 1 PC mount and it seems to be a good match. My example seems to prefer heavier pellets. The Crosman Premier Domed Ultra heavy 19gr and Polymag 16gr get the best groups so far. There was a fair amount of dieseling for the first hundred or so shots, but it calmed down and the rifle is breaking in nicely. What more could you ask for for $175? We'll see how it holds up but it seems perfectly decent so far.

This is a good-looking and accurate rifle. I'm very pleased with this purchase considering the $125 price tag. I have about 100 shots through this gun and I am consistently hitting the head of a "life-sized" mouse plinking target from 20 yards (shooting from a bench with a cheap BSA red dot scope). I am not an expert shooter by any means and I can stack five shots in about the size of a quarter at 20 yards - and I feel like the limiting factor is the size of the red dot in my scope rather than the rifle itself.

The rifle had an issue straight out of the box where the safety wasn't always disengaging when I pushed it off - in which case I would have to re-engage the safety and then push it back in for the rifle to fire. This would have been a bigger deal if this occurred while trying to hunt, but for me it was only an issue while sighting the gun in, and I believe I fixed the issue by adjusting the trigger very slightly. Also, the finish on the stock isn't very durable as I have only used it for an hour or so in my backyard and there are already a few scratches. I haven't gotten around to hitting it with my paste wax that I use for these sorts of things but I'm assuming that this will hide the scratches and provide another layer of protection so it's not a huge deal.

To fix the sticky safety issue I had chatGPT perform a search of all mentions of this issue, and it recommended turning trigger adjuster #1 (screw closest to the muzzle / sets the initial depth of sear engagement) counter-clockwise just a tiny bit. I probably dialed it out 1/8 of a turn. I also turned trigger adjuster #2 (middle screw / sets the point at which 2nd stage engages) clockwise about 1/4 of a turn based on the manufacturers recommendation for a gun that does not fire. I won't pretend to know why making these adjustments fixed the issue, but I will say that the trigger feels better than it did before, and I haven't had the sticky safety issue again since making these adjustments. This is my first airgun, so I don't have much of a reference, but I would agree that the non-QE version of this rifle is medium-loud. Certainly no louder than a nail gun, and my wife says she doesn't notice it from inside the house, but it's definitely louder than a red rider BB gun haha!

Great look love the wood shoots great right out the box less than 10 shots had the scope dialed in put a 3-9x40 and it holds zero real well great gun for the money I have the 22 and 25 version I would recommend this gun

Nothing

Appears to be well made, shoots accurately with open sights. Like the quality and price!

Change to better scope, scope shot well in beginning. Now that I have shot 600 pellets it constantly looses zero and is off about six inches from 45 yards away. I will zero in be on target for a five or six shots then it goes off target again. Like the rifle hate the scope. I wonder if the more expensive pellet rifle scope combos have cheap scope also?

Price, power, not a toy, hits hard, precise out of the box with open sights, wooden stock has a nice feeling to it, is heavy but it inspire confidence, the sound when pellets impact the target is very satisfying.

Nothing

I have to learn how to zero a scope.

Nice inexpensive gun. Good weight to it.

Have not fired it enough to judge.

It arrived with wear and tear on the safety switch. Not sure if this was due to the chronograph testing I had ordered, a used refurbished gun sent, or just an oversight in quality control by Hatsan and/or Pryamid. I reached out to Pyramid and all they said is they would pass on my issue to Hatsan. So there ya go. Full disclosure, I did not request a refund or exchange but simply wanted to make the company aware. This post here is for other customers.......inspect your purchases thoroughly. Things happen sometimes.

Accurate, nice walnut stock

Some type of sling mounting points. Has some weight but that doesn't bother me, may bother others.

Very accurate, nice build, small game doesn't stand a chance. Don't hesitate to buy.

Needed to replace rifle for manufacture defecft. its already on its way back in less than a week, customer service here is amazing. Nice rifle as well. checks all the boxes for me (25) cal.

nothing

returns are super easy with these guys, dont want to shop anywhere else.

Had to send this one back to be replaced it had issues with barrel alignment when cocked.. online support at Pyramyd Air had an RMA # and a shipping label for me within 5 minutes. So very pleased with their customer support! Really like this gun, light and powerful hopefully the replacement will be straight.

lose the scope and take the price off of the cost

I like the rifle, it was very easy to shoot and accurate.

Super accurate and nice looking gun

Wow- hard to cock!

Good value and nice to have a larger caliber

Fit and finish is nice.

Very heavy air gun. Gun shoots lower than the sights will adjust

Could have purchased a budget pcp for what this cost

Despite it's heavy weight, it won't "break" when I set it down on the bag too hard. At 8lbs it is on the heavy side but this is primarily a bench gun so what may be a con for others works to my benefit down-range. The trigger is great once you get to know it. The scope-stop all but eliminates movement, once I was zero'd my bugbuster on bkl 1-piece 3" mount has not budged. I also really like the safety. I avoid firearms with a manual safety and that habit translates over to air rifles typically. But the 95's safety is natural feeling and I like it.

I dont care for the foregrip of the stock. The mandatory-scope for the vortex-qe version is so terrible. Im extremely budget conscience and tried to make it work but we eventually shot the scope itself. not worth the trouble to even ship it. Sell one without the scope. The QE baffles are terrible and the clearance strips very little air. Thankfully Hatsan really went the cheap route and ALL QE models have the EXACT same set of baffles. Aftermarket replacements are plentiful and magnitudes better than OEM. Machine head screw in the stock is very soft and strips too easy.

The safety is "loose" when engaged. It can make a rattling that is surprising. You might find other rattling too as all of the screws need to be tightened up and blue threadlock added. Ditch the stock baffles, GeoffK sells a 10-stage baffle on an auction site its WAY better and worth every penny. The barrel will be FILTHY when it arrives. pull a couple patches soaked in goo gone, maybe half a dozen. Then it took just as many dry patches until mine was clean. Dieseling was tough for 20-50 pellets. After 100 push another dry patch thru if the dieseling is done . Some guys talk about 1k break-in periods but my 11 year old stacks pellets at 11 yards all day once we got it zero'd. He's never shot ANYTHING before, let alone something inherently more difficult like springer/gas-piston. It prefers superdomes, jsb 18.13 .

Accurate

Very loud

This is a sound suppressed model, yet it is still very loud.

Gas piston with QE. Nice wood stock.

Metal trigger guard instead of plastic.

I'm a smaller adult(5 foot 3 inches) and a senior citizen. Takes quite a bit of effort to cock.

Having all the items included.

I would add a sling to the combo

Take the time to sight it in....you will have a blast with it!

Overall appearance is nice. Good checking on the stock.

Come with better scope

No

Gregg's outstanding service Quality of thee rifle

Beautiful stock, pretty accurate. East to handle Pyramid Air was very good to work with!

Scope was not very good.

I added a Picatinny mount and a scope I had on hand. Accurate now.

It wasn't that hard to cock. . .as some mentioned. But I can say that my wife had a harder time cocking it. Easy to load pellets. I love the safety on it. Easy to push on and off. thus the automatic safety didn't bother me.

Something different about that screw behind the trigger. . . It ALWAYS comes loose. . . probably from Vibration when shooting.

1. I have about 150 shots through this gun. It is still dieseling on me from the manufacturers oil.
After about 6 months, I decided to take the scope off. I tried to sight in with iron sites. I had to
push the rear sight all the way to the left in order to hit where I am aiming at. This puzzled me for
a while. Tried a different scope that was better, and that worked out well. A month later I
took off the scope and tried the iron sights.

Still wondering why the rear sight was all the way to the left, I started to examine the system.
I found out that the barrel was twisted to the left slightly, causing the front sight to be slightly
towards the left. Then it call made sense why my rear sight was to the left so far.

Another thing happened. The nut and bolt that holds the gun to the stock on the front snapped.
It is hollow inside. This is two problems I am having with this gun.

I have tried to Contact HatsanUSA TWICE through their website and no response. I am not
happy
