Took a Big Leap for me at least

Dang, that's just too simple. I'm having a "why didn't I think of that" moment. LOL

Hi mosparky.


I don't have an Airtact but I do have an Edge and Striker powered by gas springs/rams.
I have 3 barrels in .117. ,22 and .25 caliber that fit those rifles.

Right now I have the .25 caliber barrel on the Edge.
I have a 35 pound box of various .25 caliber pellets that I got from a Pay-It-Forward offer.
I also have a well stocked supply of 19.91 grain Hatsan Vortex Domed 25 caliber pellets and .25 caliber H&N 20.6 Grain Field Target Trophy domed pellets.
My Edge rifle will shoot any of my 25 caliber pellets well but the 19.91 & 20.06 grain ones shoot the best.


Best Wishes _ Tom

Well Big Brown delivered all 3 guns this evening. I opened each one for a quick cursory examination. All looks good at first glance.
It's killing me, but I gotta wait to shoot them. Living in the burbs kinda not worthy that way. Just as well, my 177 and 22 pellets (the few that I have) are slightly buried in the garage and I don't even have 25 cal pellets yet. No one local carries them on the shelf so I gotta get them on line. Maybe the next sale at Hatsan I'll order some.
Taking vacation in a couple weeks and the wife has a dumpster coming. Gonna get my garage/ shop back and finally have a space to give them a proper cleaning and maybe take a shot or 2 at a make shift trap to check function.

My 2 Airtact came in today also. I got a .177, and a .22 cal. It is a nice light weight rifle. They don't look used either.
 I wish I would have gotten a .25 also. I'll wait till they have another refurb .25.

From what I have seen locally with pellet availability, all the stores just carry .177 cal. Hatsan has good prices on their pellets.

Walmart usually (but not all stores) carries 177 and  22 with a limited selection. If you have Tractor Supply nearby check their small selection also.
Shop around online for best deals/sales for all caliber pellets.

NOT in any particular order:

Midway
Field Supply
Wing Supply
Airgun Depot
Pyramyd Air
Amazon
HatsanUSA

Pyramyd Air and Airgun Depot have the best packaging (usually no shipping damage). All the others are a gamble on shipping damage.
My best luck happens when I buy 10+ tins during a good sale. Packaging is usually better and shipping damage is little or none.

If you only order 1-2 tins from a place like Amazon and they will ship in a padded envelope. Tins will be trashed with lots of deformed pellets.

Good Luck! :-)

Trenier Airguns is also a good source. Good packing and great service.

Also, be aware, the warranty on a refurb is only 90 days.  Best to actually shoot each rifle to ensure it functions well and is fairly accurate before that time runs out.  Hatsan will repair/replace a refurb within that 90 day period and pay shipping cost both directions.  After that 90 days is up, you're pretty much on your own!  In the past I have received refurbs that looked new, but did not shoot worth a darn, or malfunctioned.  It's rare, but it happens.  Just an FYI...

Refurbs are a great source for hard or impossible to find spare parts.

Good advice. I'll get some pellets ordered tonight or tomorrow.
