Hatsan's customer service is great. The gas ram on my Hatsan 95 failed about a month after buying it. I contacted them and they told me to ship it. I talked to them and asked for a spring to be installed instead of the gas ram and they had no problem with it at no charge to me. A couple of weeks later my rifle came back and it's been a great shooter since.I also contacted them because the cheek-piece adjustment screw fell off of my Mod 125 Sniper and they sent me a new one without any problem.
I already have 2 that like their electronic devices better than being outside.
I'm sure this is addressed someplace but I've not found it yet. I'm looking to buy my 1st break over piston or springer. I want it for some plinking and some hunting. I would like it to be able to take small game. Squirrels, Roger Rabbit, pigeons and the like.I'm putting the ceiling at no more than $200 but would like it to be some less for now. In the future maybe a pcp but just can't afford one now. I think I want a .22 nitros piston with iron sights.Also, being a total newb, the whole s i l e n c e r issue on purchased airguns, is there really such a thing or are they all so called muzzle breaks?As long as I use a heavy pellet shooting under the speed of sound all I really need to worry about is the sound of the power plant discharging, correct?Thanks in advance, John.
... in today's market everybody seems to be cutting labor as much as possible and more stuff gets through QC with problems.
So if you can buy from WalMart they have a great return policy if something is wrong with it, and likewise there are some internet dealers better than others. I'd suggest this should also be a consideration?
Are you 100% set on the .22 ?
Or the Remington Express

For myself I am leaning towards a .25 for a short range hunter and am really torn on the .22 vrs .177 for plinking and hunting for my sons.
I'm very grateful for your information. My head is spinning with the amount of concern and time each of you are putting into my question. I am humbled.I have heard the pros of all three calibers and the cons as well. I can only imagine the hours spent for each of you to have made these decisions.

My Edge rifles were actually an easy decision. Inexpensive, lightweight, out of the box accurate with just a good barrel cleaning and my .25 is very good inside the 30 yards or so I shoot. Might be just odd thinking on my part but 1 for you in your wanted .25 and .177's for the sons. As you learn the ins and outs of yours, it would make it easier showing those things to your sons while teaching them all the parts and pieces that go along with gun safety and shooting and for the price, they'd make a nice starting rifle and one they could both grow into until you decide they're ready for the next caliber, plus help and tips from owners here on the forum. Heck, get Mom into things and get her one too! (She is on board with all this I hope) Again, just my odd 2 cents...good luck with your decision and let us know what you finally decide.
