So this will wrap up my review of the Mod 95 Vortex .25 caliber. This product has impressed me from the moment that I took it out of the box and put the first pellet down range. It has been handled by many folks, all of whom have walked away liking the rifle, its accuracy, […]
Hatsan Mod 95 Vortex .25 – Part 2
The Mod 95 Vortex has become the workhorse airgun here in the shop and out on the range. Recently our local airgun club, Havasu Airgunners, had an event where people could come out and shoot for free. Gamo provided the bulk of the airguns and even one that we gave away. (THANK YOU GAMO!) On […]
.22 LR vs .25 Airgun
I’m still working with the Hatsan Mod 95 .25 cal, so stay around for Part 2 of that series later this week. In the meantime, I had some friends out to visit for a few days, and of course you know we had to spend some time at the range. .22LR or High Powered Airgun? […]

Why do you always use a scope and shoot from a rest?
I have to say that I really debated whether or not to respond to this next Email Bag question. But, it comes up often enough that I think it requires a response. So here’s the comment, as it wasn’t really a question but more of an accusation: “Rick can only shoot with scopes from a […]
