Hatsan 95 newbie

[USAFANG6799]

I was just a Cabelas. A LOT of GAMO and and two Benjamins.  Their pellet selection is laughable.  Just an FYI

That was the case here for the one in Maine but they are slowly seeing the light. Pellet selection is still pretty dismal.

All three of my Hatsans (two springers and one Vortex) like the H&N/Vortex 14.66 per Hatsan recommendation.
My Hatsan 1000x shoots better (accuracy, felt recoil & weight) than my 95 does.

I've found since others recommended it and trying it myself, that Vibra Tite VC-3 works better than Loctite. Goes on the same but if you ever need to adjust those screws, you can with Vibra Tite and not have to reapply it like you do with the blue Loctite.

As far as scopes, one place to watch and it's free to sign up, is a website called Dvor. When they have scope sales, you can get some seriously good deals on any number of scope brands. During their last one, I grabbed a Hawke Airmax 4-12x40 AO scope that normally sells for $230 for $165 delivered to my door:

I've just started using the Vibra Tite VC-3 works better than Loctite and so far like it much better.
Recenly bought a Hawke Airmax to replace my UTG on my MRod 22cal. I find the optics much brighter, sharper. I am a bit bias though because all my optics are now Hawke Vantages, save for the one on my Hatsan Vortex 1000x which still has the cheap scope from Hatsan. Very surprised it's still hold out.

Don't sweat try to find its "favorite" pellet for a while. Heck, I wouldn't even buy the "good stuff" at first.
Get a tin of 500 Crosman Premier Hollow Points from Walmart or your Cabelas and run them through it to break it in. Then you can start dialing in to what it really likes.
 What shoots poor or well in the beginning may swap positions after it is broke in.
 But yes, the Straightshooter sample pack is a good way to try many pellets without buying a whole tin of each.

I'm finding my H 95 vortex likes most pellets. but it seems to shoot heavier ones a smidgen better, 16-18 gr.

Clean the barrel and the scope is junk.  Enjoy!
