The lazer hits the object centred in the view finder measures the time for the reflection to return, turns that time into a distance

One problem i found with an auto was the tendacey to rush the first shot "in case you need a second" Take a look at the " BEST " target rifles what are they ,,,,,,,, Bolt, ( or falling block). Horses for coarses, autos for fun bolt for killing

Id look for a rough spot around the extractor cut out,, a fraze around the the guild pin hole or a scuffed edge, if its sticking in that hard sounds as if the cartridge head is the problem site look for marks on the head and relate that to the chamber,, it may well only need a flick with a stanley knife

Hello Gloop, Yes the shotload dont matter much its the case length,,,,, but 21/22g loads youd be better off with a 20bore, with such a low pellet count the 20 would give better patterns and be lighter to carry

Maybe so, but ive never had a prob until i changed loads,, and at £325 new its a throw away job, ive worked mine hard over the last couple of seasons, so if i get a couple more its erned its keep, ive saved more than that in poss damage to my coggeys, to have a top grade stock refinished to match it brother would cost a lot more then £325.. and tell me how many pigeon bashers havent bashed knocked or even dropped a gun,,,,,, so scratched a hatsan so what ,,, scratched a Coggey,,, lotsacash

i think its the 3" chamber that does it the bolt has so far to travel, and the spent case becomes a piston to drive it, so a 65mm will bleed off gas long before a 70mm or 75mm. Think im gona try playing around with recoil spring rates, as i seldom use 3" i dont need a spring rate that will handle 3" all the time,,, lighter spring the faster the bolt will travel back and the less engery it needs to reach the sear

Thanks Airbourne, seems ive have the answer to the Hatsan saga then " Load my own"

Hello All, Just thought id pass on the findings of some tests i did on a Hatsan Escort. Ive used mine for 18 months now and it never missed a beat, until i changed ammo. I had been useing 30g loads by Eley. I changed to 29g loads by Lyalvale,,,Yep they wouldnt feed. This happened while i was with a mate who gave me a box of winchester 32gs they worked fine, so thinking id bought a load of duff stuff i thought id break one open and have a look at its guts. To cut a long storey short i reloaded a few with the same primers same powder and same shot, however the only cases i had we
