I finally got my Hatsan 95 back from repair. I sent it ten days ago. The rifle has about 25-30k shots through it total. It's had 2 replacement triggers, 2 springs and two seals. It will be one year old next week.
It's my 6th Hatsan 95. I have a couple more newer ones and a few broken ones in the closet
When I sent it off I decided to refinish the stock. It's a Mod. 65 thumbhole. I have had 3 different Mod 95 actions it it. It's seen around 100k shots. I stripped off the lacquer and gave it an old fashioned linseed oil and shoe polish finish.
It's pretty plain wood with lots of tool marks burned into it. I just rounded up the corners and took some material off around the trigger guard. Sanded out all the bumps and dings. It's smooth as glass and feels like skin to the touch. Not too much to look at as far as grain and patina goes.
When the rifle came back yesterday the safety didn't work right. The trigger was almost impossible to pull. It shot well considering you needed vice grips to shoot it.
I opened it up and found a missing clip on the safety cam. And some hard plastic debris in the trigger housing. It didn't take long to fix it.
I notified Hatsan about it. No big deal for me but definitely a frustration. They have never failed me before with many repairs so I'm not worrying about it too much. The gun probably worked fine when they tried it.
The trigger now breaks crisp and easily. Just like it has for thousands of shots. The stock feels like you are holding a woman's leg. It's shooting crosmans at 720 fps @4000 feet altitude. It will shoot a 3/4" hole at 25 yards with a flyer once in a while.
It's not fancy or expensive. Its a bit rough. And it won't shoot tiny dots. But it's a superb offhand gun that just won't quit even after shooting hundreds of shots a day, every day for a year.
