Looks good to me. One thing about Hatsans, their advertised FPS of their rifles are usually about correct. Many other rifle makers exaggerate theirs.

Nice gift!  I usually get a $20 dinner and margarita at the local mexican restaurant.     

The 95 vortex I had in .22 chrony'd 830  with 13.12 gr hatsan vortex domes.  And that's practically out of the box.  Sadly sold that one off... Maybe I should've given it more of a chance.

Joe, looks like you duplicated the #'s for the two Crosman pellet  Can you double-check your #'s for the 10.5?   I'm curious what that rifle does with the heavier pellets.

Thanks,
Scotty

Thanks for pointing that out, Scotty. I'm going to my brother's tomorrow to Crony my new Hatsan 95 Vortex .22, so I'll take along the .177 and run the Crosman pellets through again. I threw away my had written notes from that session, so I need to start from scratch.

Thanks for the chrono data!
Last week I ordered a refurb Hatsun 95 .177 from Field Supply.   Couldn't pass up the deal.  Hope I get a good one.

Yep, those are good numbers.
