Hatsan 95 Air Rifle Combo with Walnut Stock - .177 & .22 Caliber Break Barrel Air Gun | Hunting, Target Shooting & Pest Control

This rifle arrived yesterday, I just have to say... Out of every rifle I've shot (I haven't shot a LOT, just a few, around 10 years ago) this is probably the best quality rifle I have ever been able to hold in my hands. It's sturdy, it's AMAZINGLY accurate, the trigger feels like butter. It's on the heavy side but that's because of the stock, and it's nothing out of this world either, it just takes some getting used to. When i first got it, the pellets hadn't arrived yet, but I took advantage and got to play with the rifle and sorta get used to it. When I got the pellets, I started shooting using the sights (I had to adjust because I was playing with it before the pellets arrived), but once I got it sighted, I was able to get 5 in one hole on a windy day (that's 10 years without shooting, and I'm only 20, so that says a lot about the accuracy on this gun) those that did kinda move out of the target area, was because I lost stability (because the gun is pretty heavy and the cocking does get tiring) or because of the wind, or because I shot at the wrong time. This rifle is the most accurate rifle I have ever shot. The trigger pull is like butter, I don't see myself ever having to change it because it feels so good in quality and I don't find it heavy. Not to mention the trigger in gold looks amazing with the wooden stock. I was skeptical when it came to the scope seeing so many negative reviews on the scope. But once I adjusted the scope, the accuracy was spot on. I didn't have any slips or any misses with the scope unless a sudden wind gush occurred. Now I'm not a professional and I don't know much about scopes, especially expensive ones, but to me this scope is good enough to use, I really don't see much wrong with it, it did take a while to adjust it but once I did, it stayed adjusted. So far I haven't had to readjust the scope, it feels nice even though it's made in China. Now the power. I was able to penetrate a green coconut and break the outer shell of the brown coconut (but after that shot, it went through, almost penetrating the other sides outer shell). It also went through 2 out of 3 layers of this wooden plank I had laying around (pretty deep, more or less 3/4"). Cocking this bad boy. It takes strength and muscle to do so, if not, then technique. I'm a pretty small guy (5'5", 140lbs), it takes 40lbs of cocking force to push the barrel down all the way. It's not that hard, but it does getting tiring after 90 shots or so (yes in one sitting I shot 90 shots). You need to find a way to make it easier for yourself so you don't stress yourself too much, I found a way to do so by making the whole action smooth (push it down all the way right away, not bumping it open then pulling). This gun is loud, but not loud enough for protection, but loud enough for neighbors to complain, lucky for me I have an acre of land to myself and there are plenty of trees and grass to mute the sound, though I do worry I might get the neighbors complain (they're mostly old people). This rifle does have a kick as well. But it doesn't make it any less fun, rather it makes it feel like a real firearm, and it makes you respect it. So far I've only tried one pellet type/brand, and it's the H&N Barracuda Match 21.14gr and I don't think I really need to try anything other than those because it's literally shot after shot accurate and perfect for it. I bought this rifle with the intention of using it to hunt iguanas (I live in Puerto Rico so it's legal, and they're a big pest problem here for farmers and infrastructure and it's just too much roadkill, plus there's around 3-4 times more iguanas then there are people, 3.3 million people and 10-14 million iguanas, so there needs to be a balance and I want to be part of the progress of Puerto Rico especially since it's such need and desperation) and I can tell you that this will do the job flawlessly, now I haven't tried it on iguanas yet but first I'm gonna get me some practice before I end up hurting them instead of taking them out humanely. But I definitely recommend this rifle for hunting small game and for anything else you want to use it for (even self defense if an intruder breaks in and you can get a shot to the temple or eye, maybe more but I wouldn't know or try unless necessary, and before you say anything, it's like California here with the gun laws). This rifle is honestly just perfect especially for its low cost. I recommend it to anybody who can handle the recoil and weight and strength required.On an extra note: I got this rifle in perfect conditions with no flaws what-so-ever. I've heard a lot of people get theirs damaged, but I think that's just bad luck, but you can always call Hatsan customer service if anything.Pros:Amazingly accurateWell builtReal Turkish wood and German steelPowerfulFeels great in your handsFull size rifleGreat for safety training before owning a real firearmGreat for huntingTrigger like butter (and gold which looks beautiful)Scope is decent for an included scopeIncluded Allen keysBeautiful wood designCons:(nothing really, just things you have to get used to)Weight is heavy for someCocking is hard for some
