Appreciate the video. I got the 95 about 3 weeks ago. Figured I would roll the dice after all the mixed reviews I seen. Probably have 150 rounds through it and I'm very happy with it so far. I shoot in a little area beside my house that's 25 yards. Doesn't seem real picky on the pellets. I've shot 15g, 16g, 18 and 25g...all less than 1"groups. Plenty accurate for my use!
There's definitely a quality control issue with Hatsan airguns, but exchanges are easy enough should you end up with a lemon. I have zero complaints with my 95. Especially when considering the price.
Im getting one for Xmas this year. It's already under the tree but the wife won't let me open it until xmas 😄 I watched and read a lot of reviews on this caliber rifle but I made the decision to get this one after watching your videos on it. Thank you.
Thanks for your video Kevin. Hatsan's and Gamo's are not my cup of tea but your 95 seems to be a pretty good shooter. You have to be lucky to get a good one straight out of the box. A HW won't be within everyones budget, but i think those Cometa air rifles seems to be better quality for the money. Always nice to see springer action 👍
Yeah, given a choice, I'd lean toward a Cometa, too. I try to mix it up for the channel. I typically stay away from the box store breakbarrels, but if it lands in my lap, it's video fodder. 😉
The 95 is a lot more joy to shoot than the 125/135s. I had to convert my air piston over to a good ole fashioned steel spring, since the air piston died. Which unfortunately seems to be fairly common. The 95 has plenty of muscle for any critter up to raccoon sized, since it a lot more hold friendly than the larger magnums, confidence is higher placing the pellet where it needs to go... A lot of folks have a love hate relationship with theirs. I like them since they are budget friendly and I can tear them down if improvements need to be made. The days are running out on being able to purchase an all steel gun, ability to work on and built like a tank unless one pays a premium.
Yes. You really do get a lot of gun for the money with Hatsan. However, it is also true that their quality control dept. could use some improvement. Thanks for watching, Mike.
Nice to see you working with the Hatsan again Kevin 😁🍻👍 The company makes excellent shotguns in my experience, but it does seem their airgun QC is rather lacking oftentimes... I will say, so far at least, I'm very impressed with the performance & accuracy of my .22 caliber Model 95 Vortex; it might be the most accurate airgun I own, stacking/clustering pellets at fifteen yards with only a Williams peep & that large fiber optic factory front sight...😅😁👍🍻 It really seems to like H&N & Predator Metalmag pellets so far, and I feel it would be very effective on small game or varmints with the latter pellets especially...👍 Take it easy Kevin 🍻👍🙂
Thanks, Nate. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised to see that kind of accuracy out of the 95. Modding that trigger really helped me tighten the groups.
Had a Hatsan 87...but sold it...normally dont sell my guns, but it was not my cup of tea. That 95 seems good, you must be a lucky guy getting a good one😂 Enjoy your Hatsan and have a nice day!
I just discovered your channel and I must say that I enjoy your content. I have experience with Hatsan rifles that is bit different than yours. Firs I bought gas ram that failed to shot single pellet, than I returned it and got mod 65. It was bit iffy trigger and it had strong recoil but it was fun for a while, I could shoot with it relatively accurate but there were a lot flyers (i guess trigger and recoil and me were to blame). After 200 shots, screws and pins started coming loose, it was tighten, scope installed but than after another 200 shots or so it just stopped cocking. I took it to shop, they dissasambled it, had no idea what the problem is and while they tried to put it back together and cock it, the stock split in half. I tried hatsan rifles from some friends and its crazy how result vary even with same gun and pellets, after that I decided to buy Diana.
Unfortunately, yours is not the 1st story that I've heard regarding problems with some Hatsan guns. I would've thought that they'd have worked out their quality control issues by now. Still, they have a huge following, so they must be doing something right. I'm sorry to hear of your ordeal. That'd leave a bad taste in my mouth for sure. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Very nice! The hits at 60 yards were all three very near center too. I have a Hatsan 125 Sniper in 22cal, it's quite accurate also. Enjoyed the vid, thanks for sharing!
I have had a 95 for at least 15 years. Mine is a gas piston and I have replaced the piston once. Mine has been a sterling accurate rifle all this time and it is pretty to look at as well I did install longer screws back in the day. Keep in mind that adjusting the trigger is kind of counter intuitive. I am not really sure you need the longer screws at this point. I say this after figuring out Diana TO5 triggers. I have TO1, TO5 and TO6. They are all good triggers and if I were to tackle the Hatsan today, I might try some thing different.....
Thanks, John. I've red that the Quatro trigger in Europe is supplied with the longer screws. I'm not sure where you're located, but that may be a factor. Thanks so much for watching, my friend.
Thanks Kevin, your right about the stock, looks nice but mine has loads of small indentations from just softly touching stuff, I unfortunately went for the vortex gas piston version, accuracy isn't the best even with a 4-16×50..!!!! Pleasing to see your taste in beer is as good as your rifles.🤣 happy shooting and thanks for sharing.👍👍
Nice work ,remember i was saying about my dads rifle had thet sticky camo coating on it ,i used a bronze wheel bit in a pillar drill and it took it right off ,i did get a few scratches in the plastic stock but i soon sanded most of them out 😊
muy bueno kevin, yo tuve una dominator 5.5 y no iba mal pero para mi las hatsan son complicadas de desmontar sobretodo el gatillo QUATRO. excelente excelente
You can easily lose 3 or 4 hours in the garden plinking with a cheap light weight air rifle that you can not worry about a few dings here & there, great fun.
Good shootin ! Got a question? springer have the double recoil, so when we press the trigger and the spring is moving forward at what point does the pellet exit the barrel, when the spring stops or before that? Thanks
I'll answer that and see if Kevin disagrees with me. The pellet will start travelling down the barrel when enough force is there to overcome friction. Friction will come from the pellet fit in the bore and skirt expansion gripping the rifling. That is one of the reasons pellets come in differing widths. The pellet will stop accelerating at some point before the the spring stops as there is no more compression. The ideal would be get the pellet to exit a fraction before the spring came to the end of the stroke (no recoil). However in practice the spring is under such force that the pellet is still in the barrel when it comes to the end of it's stroke. How far down the barrel depends on various factors, friction, barrel length and propelling force among them. If you watch someone with a low powered .22 as we have in the UK you can actually see the pellet leave the barrel after the spring reaches the end of stroke. I've added this bit later for more clarity, when you pull the trigger the potential energy stored in the spring is released in kinetic energy. So the spring is already on it's journey with the pellet sitting in the bore, the pellet will begin moving when there is enough energy imparted to it (pressure) to overcome friction and a (tiny) bit of inertia, which will always be behind the spring travel. Now if between us all we could invent, as I've stated earlier, some method of getting the pellet ahead of the piston we'd make our fortunes, but I'll leave that to you clever young fellas.
Twas a good question, and equally good answer. It has to be after the piston has come to rest, hence the additional skill required in shooting acurately with a springer?
@@steveyoung9951 You're welcome, see if Kevin agrees. One thing occurred to me was if you made the barrel short enough then you would get the pellet to exit first. No doubt this has been thought of before and I think the lack of stubby rifles says it's impractical?? The other way of course is to considerably increase the stroke of the spring at the same time reducing the barrel length.
Nice guns! Ultimate Air Arms in laminate are beautiful but expensive😮 Hw45 Black Star is also nice...I have the normal one in .22 from end of 1980s. BSA Comet I have in .177 Syntethic...ok rifle but nothing special.

Nice to see a little turkish delight. I think those holes being size of the dot gives great indication of target point.
It does, indeed. After squeezing that kind of accuracy out of the rifle, I decided it was worthy of another video. Thanks for watching, my friend.

I was offered one of these Hatsan rifles but turned it down, I think I might have to re visit that subject. Thank you for your great review.
From what I hear, quality control could use some attention, but I have no complaints with mine.

Thanks, Tim. I appreciate your viewership.
That performed better than I expected Kevin?, perhaps a couple more sips from that bottle would tighten the group?
That's a very good alcohol free lager

Greetings from Belgium. Have you ever considered not wearing your glasses and adapting the eyepiece of your scope to your eye?
It's been a long time since I did that. I'm a hunter, so I need my glasses to see. I guess I kinda' just stuck with it out of habit.
You can easily lose 3 or 4 hours in the garden plinking with a cheap light weight air rifle that you can not worry about a few dings here & there, great fun.
Indeed you can. You don't have to mortgage your house to get into airgunning. Thanks for watching, my friend.

I guess you can’t have too many air rifles but i think i have enough just 2 left to add 😊
Which ones do you have to add? I am missing a Walther LGU Master...Maybe also a BSF S70 with walnutstock...but it must be in almost mint condition.
@@tomsvennblad8374 nice choice , non of those .
@@PeterAgostiniJdcap26Now I am curious...which two is it then😊
