Hatsan = pain in the a$$. I mean, these busters aren't that great you know. Made in Turkey. They do get better by the year, but that trigger is TERRIBLE. Better go for that B 28, and use some nice heavy pellets in that. Don't let the 800 Fps in .25 fool you!
There are plenty of .25 break barrels out there. Yeah, they cost more, but have a look at REAL guns in .25: Webley Patriot, HW90, Theoben Eliminator...
Yeah, plenty more expensive too, but they're loads of better rifles. Those Hatsans, they're purely aiming at people who don't think but just buy.
The Diana 350 Magnum should also be available in .25, at least the Diana 48, 52 and 54 are.
Maybe a 350 barrel fits to a B-28? |

i would have to second the beeman RX-2 or RX-1 (if you can find a good used one)
although...
IMO-FWIW...i'd go towards a sidelever or underlever or possibly a fixed barrel PCP/HPA.
i have a Beeman RX-1 and an R-10 and they are fine rifles, but...barrel 'droop' does eventually come into play and cocking a RX when it's fully charged can be a challenge. |

I just picked up a Tech Force 89 - .22 cal.
So far it is extremely accurate. I'm still investigating pellets.
Only mod I've had done is to tap a hole in the rear of the receiver so that the scope stop doesn't fly off from the recoil.
Other than that, it is all I wanted it to be.
For example,
I was shooting the smaller individual sized plastic coke bottles at 25 yds. That soon got old, so I started shooting the white caps off the tops of them.
I did put a 3-9x44 AO Tech Force air rifle scope of it. It is crystal clear and brings the little white caps right up to me.

I don't think Beeman has actually made any gun. They are importers.
It would probably be about the same cost to have a 350 Mag converted and tuned to .25 as to get a used Kodiak. |

Ah, the Kodiak, also known as the Webley Patriot... A b!tch to shoot in .177 and .22, but how lovely it is in .25. |
