Spring/Piston The H95 in .22 is the best Hatsan springer - change my mind...

[Kragman1]

Just that. I have a few of their springers, and while I really respect the H125's, I feel that the H95 in .22 is their best all around springer.
Reasonable weight, good power (20fpe), my two are accurate (bit I've heard of some having trouble), good triggers, walnut stocks, sights without any play in them, etc and very modest cost.

But if you disagree, just lay out the reasons here.

My hatsan 95 is kinda cheap and chinzy .
Got a toyish feel to it and it's a gas ram so the ram went flat pretty quick in its life .. .

Worse part is the QE barrel. Man how cheap and chinzy it is .

Heck when I first pulled it out of the box I thought the stock was like plastic / fake wood , but it was that genuine Turkish walnut ...lol

Thing is I see guys post there hatsan 95 guns that's not QE or older and they look nicer by far. This one I got is for the 3ed time is just so cheap and chinzy feeling like a toy gun .. thank goodness it was gifted to me ( and I see now why ..lol) I'd be pretty pissed if I had money in it ..

Then I see hatsan for the USA market replaced real barrels with all QE shrouded I'll never buy another anything hatsan QE ..

Now ... I also have a old model 25 sc ( non-QE) pistol that been pretty darn good .. maybe my fav been fun and shot tight.

That also came to a end and been replaced with QE barrels .. (WHY??...lol)

Hmmmm.....

You make a good point Mr. McNasty.
Both of mine are older guns, and while they are built solid they arent fancy or well finished. Work boots, not dress shoes if you know what I mean. One vortex, one coil spring, neither has the QE shroud.

If Hatsan has diminished their standard, I wouldn't know it from my two rifles.

The HW95 is a great all around springer. It's one of the only ones I keep around these days.

 

[Kragman1]

The Weihrauch 95 sure is, but this thread is about the Hatsan 95.

 

[jlowe]

Yet get what you pay for IMO.

Well it's now a 150$ or less gun today .

Ya, mines kinda chintcy cheap . The look the feel . That QE barrel shroud it's just sad cheap as you can get stamped sheet metal . .

I could of got over that somewhat cause a lot of piston seal work it did shoot pretty good and 100y on irons nice , but it was all short lived . Never stopped smoking no matter how much I cleaned it out .

Here's my stuff I posted on it back when

New rat chewed looking parts

Knicked to death seal


Always scraped the ram


Smoked every shot till it died


How you would look shooting it


100y on stock hatsan irons and cheap cphp .22 ( your right on the nice tight rear sight and good metered true air gun clicks)

Ya, it's ashame..lol

I have to agree. It has been my best current Hatsan gun to date.

From some of these comments, I take it is better to not get the QE barrel. I see PA has a choice of QE or not. Tyler Patner (of PA) has recommended this as a good cheap break barrel for the money.

I'd be curious to know if the QE barrel is anything more than a gimmick...

 

[Kragman1]

I only have one QE, and it's on a low velocity .30 cal 130S, so it's hard to know if it's actually reducing any noise at all.
By comparison, a Hatsan 125 pushing a 20 grain pellet at 840 fps also has a quiet report....

I never saw with QE barrel before, standard ones pretty overall okay springers for the price in my opinion but Hatsan lottery is a still lottery. I knew some guns from the same serie as me with barrel and build problems.
