The Avenger is the only reamaining .25 gun I have and if I had it to do over, it would have been .22 also. But that thing is so accurate that I decided to let it live among the rest of my guns.If I ever did decide to sell it I would sell the NOE 4 cav alumnum mold with it. I plink and pest and really have no reason for .25.Oh wait, I lied... I have the Hatsan 1k Votex in .25... forgot about that one.I converted the Sentry to .22 and I still have the complete .25 upper (breech, bolt, shroud, barrel and LDC) but that will never go back on that gun either.
I’m not a huge fan of Hatsans but they make excellent field guns. They’re also easy to repair
Yep, It's got some power, definitely can take down a Coyote with a good shot placement, Have fun with it, I think you have more to hunt in your part of Texas....

Side lever pretty stiff but it getting better. After the 8th shot it put out the advertised 40fpe.Glad to hear you got it, sounds like it's doing well so far. I couldn't help myself at the Field supply sale and picked up two refurbs, a Hydra .25 and a Gladius Long .25, so I've definitely covered my .25 slot now The Hydra out of the box is doing 740-770fps with H&N Baracuda 31gr, so also 40fpe. One thing I've found so far is that it needs a very firm hold compared to my .22 Flash, then it seems to be similarly accurate. Resting on a sandbag, with the Flash .22 I only use my firing hand to pull back into my shoulder, with the Hydra .25 I use my other hand between the trigger and sandbag as well. I'm liking the solid hitting .25 so far! Re the stiff side lever, as a general question for PCP's - Can you oil/lube the side lever or bolt from the outside (without disassembly)? What would oil would you use?

Congrats.
Very nice numbers !Did you only measured the shots or also the POI ? Did the string had any impact on the POI I mean ?
the Flash I gave to my Brother liked JSB MKll's, pellet on pellet at 30 yards.
