A rifle is like a woman. The longer you work with them, the more comfortable you become with them. You learn their little nuances, and either adjust to them and have a winner, or get rid of them and get a new one. No rifle or woman is perfect, so you have to have reasonable expectations for both. Just the ramblings of lifelong shooter and 43 years of being with the same woman.
You'll have to ask pab what pellets work good in his rifle, mine seem to like H&N and JSB but the .22 might be different.
That's a nice group there! I bought some cleaning items to clean my .177 Quest and the .22 95 Vortex when it gets here. I cleaned the Quest and it all worked nice. I got an assortment of items from Walmart; one piece, .177 and higher cleaning rod, brass brushes for .177 and .22, some barrel conditioner/cleaner, bag of patches and the $12 Umarex cleaning kit. I only used the .177 mop from that kit so far. But I felt I was in good shape for when my Hatsan .22 arrived. Yesterday I ended up canceling my backorder for it at Midway and got a refurb from Airgun Pro Shop. While there I added their Hatsan Factory Bulletproof (tuning) service to the order so they'll clean it before I even get it. I keep reading how everyone says the gun shoots so well out of the box but I wanted to spend a little more just to make sure it shoots it's best for me because I know *I'M* the weak link in putting lead on target and I want to give myself every advantage I can. Reading your reaction to your 95 makes waiting on mine that much harder. Where are the rats you're going after? What's your technique for getting them?Steve, I'd love to hear how those Polymags work in your .25. Has anyone tried Polymags in the .22 yet?
