Here are the benefits of Vortex gas-piston over a spring-piston powerplant:
A terrific plinking rifle, the Hatsan 85 air rifle is also handy for dispatching small pests at close distances. Light enough to carry all day in the field and enjoy plinking and shooting spinners or paper targets.
How about that Quattro trigger? It's crisp and adjustable -- and that's not real common in guns in this price range. The adjustable length of pull (LOP) is also a special feature rarely found in guns in just about any budget category. Just insert 1, 2 or 3 of the Triopads to personalize your Hatsan 85.
If you've never shot a gun with a gas-piston powerplant, you're in for a treat. You'll notice a pretty smooth gun. While there are smooth springers out there, they're generally in a much higher price range. The gas-piston powerplant gives you that luxury without breaking the bank.
Hatsan's velocity figures are for lead pellets. No trick pellets, no inflated velocities. Just the honest velocity with lightweight lead ammo.
If much or most of your use will be hunting, we suggest getting the .22- or .25-caliber air rifle.
