I've been looking around for a scope and mount to go along with the Edge I'm considering purchasing. I've seen a couple of people mention the Hammers 3-9x32AO, and have found it on Amazon. I just want to know if it will fit onto the 11mm dovetail. I know that their 3-9x40AO says it fits on 3/8 & 11mm dovetail groves, was wondering if the 3-9x32AO will work too.
Thanks in Advance,
Tim

As long as you have rings/1 piece mount that will fit your dovetail, any scope is OK.
But get a scope that is airgun rated.
And use medium height rings/mount.
Last but not least, Welcome to the forum, Tim. :D

Thanks for the welcome! Well, I'd post a link if it would let me... The 3-9x32 says it will fit 3/8, while the 3-9x40 says it will fit 3/8 & 11mm dovetails.. They're pretty similar, so I was wondering if the 3-9x32 would also fit 11mm dovetails.. Both of these are Scopes w/ One-Piece Mounts by Hammers.. I was hoping someone who has experience with them would chime in... See what I did there? Chime in! ::) I'll let myself out......

It'll fit just fine.

Well I guess with that figured out, I just need to decide if I'll buy the Hatsan Edge w/ Hammers 3-9x32AO or a Benjamin 392 with Williams Peep Sight.... Which would you buy? I like the Hatsan's innards.. Just don't care for the stock too much.. I would buy it in the 1000x or s, but am looking to pull it all in under $200 since most of my cash will be going towards a crossbow.. I like the looks of the 392, and the fact that it's just point and shoot more or less without artillery hold. I originally planned on getting it and nothing else but ammo, then I find out the rear iron sight runs the risk of the barrel and pump coming apart. Since I'd have to get either the peep sight or a scope w/ mount I started looking back at the Hatsan since that would put them in the same price range..
Some input on the matter would be nice!

In my humble opinion, the Edge stock looks/feels a lot better in person than it does in pics. Two things to do if you get one. Remove the front stock screws and put flat washers underneath the star lock washers installed at the factory. If you don't the star washers will dig in to the plastic over time causing cracks. Fill the stock with silicone caulk. You don't have to do this put the rifle will feel more balanced and much smoother when fired--no "twang" to your cheek.
If you wait, eventually PA will have the Edge Vortex on sale for $99 AND a 10% off promotion at the same time. They've done that several times & that's when I got mine. Heck of a deal @ $90. The trigger isn't the greatest but can be made 100% better with a replacement screw for pocket change.
Good luck with your decision and Welcome Aboard.

If it was a couple of years ago I would get the 392.
But the quality of the 392 seem to have gone down, so I don't know.
If you want a 392, try to get an older one.
-
Well Gents, thanks for all the replies. If the older 392s were easier to find I'd totally grab one, since that's not the case I'll just have to go with the Edge Vortex.

Having an Edge and a Mod 95 here? I don't think you can go wrong with eather one.
The 95 has the Quattro trigger and that SAS thing.
I like the Edge non Quattro trigger better and the SAS thing hasn't shown me anything.

Im happy with the optima scope that came on my Hatsan 95, only thing I had to do was change rings to picatinny and add a rail...good luck

+1 on this.
The mod 95 is a sub $200 gun with a nice walnut stock and is supposed to be similar in performance with the edge.

Hatsan's are built like a tank. I think QA issues reported in the past may be resolved also, just did my first tear-down - Hatsan 125, it was deburred at cocking slot and front forks.
