I want advice on a piston or springer for hunting.

Gump,
If you contact Hatsan USA about that scope being bad, I think you can upgrade it from the 3-9x32 to a 3-9x40 AO that I've seen several members post about and say it's a better made scope and has held up nicely.
I THINK it's something like $20 for the upgrade to the better scope, but don't quote me on it. Safest bet as always is to e-mail Hatsan, explain your scope problem and ask about upgrading to the better scope.

I didn't think of that. Well, I already submitted a request with PA, I just gonna wait and see because it's within 30 days thing. Is 3-9x40 AO really upgrade in quality? or is it just more feature bigger lens and AO? and what about warranty?
With my cheap low budget, I think I'll spend that $20 toward that BSA for $53 or maybe Hawke . Unless, there is any one ever upgrade and recommend.

I've just kicked the rifle over...  4th or 5th time now, it adjusted right back in...  What's not to love 

So that's how she is, likes it rough, eh? I couldn't tell, mine didn't come with a whip and leather outfit LOL
I repeated the adjustment maybe 3 times which was good for 4 to 6 shots. It was not fun seeing my tail again.

For $20 you'd have a spare    But to answer your question, mine's not been on a springer.  The klack klack of the pump handle does sometimes hurt the wrist so I would think the scope takes a beating too.  Warranty?  I reckon you'd have to ask Hatsan...

You are correct in all counts. I e-mailed Hatsan, the response was quick. He or she will send a replacement 3-9x32. I don't want to spend $20 for an upgrade (same "quality" but more features) with less than a year warranty (when my rifle warranty expired) vs. other new scope for lifetime(unknown quality).

I know, it's a boring combo scope subject not worth to discuss but it's usable for my purpose. Most people may have a good laugh or chuckling. Some people may be interested about how Hatsan service has been provided.

As long as you're happy with it and it works for you, that's all that really matters....plus with almost a year of replacements under the warranty, it gives you plenty of time to save up for whatever better scope you finally decide on.

As always, Happy shooting

Since I bought my Nitorvenom I've noticed how nice the Remington Thunderjet looks which from the box is supposed to put out 23 foot pounds of energy with a pellet, thats plenty for hunting small game, they're under $200 at Pyramid air right now.  I wish that I could swap out my Nitrovenmom.

That's my plan.
Before I bought the rifle, I thought it would be fun to shoot a can or a tennis ball size object. I didn't know that I could shoot a dime size target because my hands are shaking all the time. I am happy with this good deal and accurate starter.

PA response around noon(next business day after submitting a form). Because of the scope is a combo, I have to send both scope and rifle for exchange or contact Hatsan for scope. I replied that I already contacted Hatsan and it's being resolved.
As you mentioned "... Safest bet as always is to e-mail Hatsan..."
