I think its luck of the draw with Hatsans, you either get a good one or a bad one.
I had one for a while but then it started jamming so i part exchanged it for a Beretta.
I would not have another Hatson.
If it was me i would get a decent scope and bins on the book from Uttings or the like. That way you can have quality gear without skinting yourself in one hit.
Just had our clay club broken into again, 3rd time. Stole the quad bikes, batteries and leads, strimmers, even the charity cash box.
Would love to catch them.
Had my Rapid about 7 yrs, bought it 3rd hand. Had a new reg put in and have had no problems with it.
I like it because of the shot count but find it a bit heavy, But apart from the weight i cant fault it.
I dont even want to try anything else.
