So I was looking at these two pellet guns. There are many variations of each. I plan on getting a scope and usually the one included with the gun isn't worth much. I plan on getting it in .22 caliber as well. Any suggestions?
Hatsan 95 vs Diana 34... Which one?

I would personally go with the 34. It has a much better reputation as being one of the best spring guns in that price range. You are right, the Hatsan may come with a scope and rings but I think you'll find that you will have to upgrade them anyway and they just end up in the junk drawer. Good luck with whatever you choose!

I have them both. The Diana is more accurate, has a very good adjustable trigger, around 2 lbs, and easier on scopes. The recoil from the 95 is pretty harsh. Get the 34, you won't be sorry.

34 no question. I've owned 1 Hatsan- a model 85. Stoutly built with a good barrel. Terrible trigger (Quattro) and generally rough around the edges. With a good tune probably a decent hunter with more power than the 34. My 34 was spot on accurate and adequate power for squirrel hunting-great rifle and they come up as refurbs on AGD fairly frequently. I think you'll have a solid rifle either way, but my choice would be the Diana--the trigger alone is worth the difference in price.

34 for sure, it will shoot about 75-100 fps slower than the Hatsan but accuracy is much better. If you decide to put a tune kit in the gun either a Macari or Vortek the 34 turns into a point and shoot gun silky smooth action. I also have both and both are tuned, the 34 is hands down the better gun. The Hatsan is also a good gun but the firing cycle is harsher even when tuned, but it does shoot around 815 fps with 14.6 grain pellets and the 34 does around 720 shooting the same pellets.
If you really want the best gun go with R9, super smooth with great accuracy and should make 740fps with 14.3 grain pellets. The R9 is lighter than 34 or 95 and is considered best in class.

Personally, I'd go for the Diana. The overall quality and craftsmanship on those Germans are just way better than those Hatsan's. With a Hatasan you have to be lucky to get a good rifle, with a Diana you know you'll get a rifle that lasts you a lifetime, and even when you're gone, your grand children will still enjoy it.

My thoughts, I have several air guns, pumpers, pcps, and springers. I picked up a Hatsan 95 in.22 about 6 weeks ago, and I am very disappointed with HatsanUSA. The rifle does not have the accuracy I expected. Hatsan USA was no help to resolve. I suggest the Diana 34, I have a friend with one, that is one sweet rifle.

I bought a Hatsan 95 just a few weeks ago as well, in the .177. Unlike Deltadart106, my experience has been a blast. I have to say it is every bit a Magnum springer, as the the cocking action requires considerable strength and the recoil is felt throughout my body. I'm 5'10" and around 250 so that is no small feat. But the results! With open sights I have had a great time zeroing in at 25 yards, and last week mounted my Leapers 3-9x32 scope and began shooting out to 30 yards. No barrel issues, no rattling or droop... just a fine Turkish walnut stock enclosing all that German steel. I have every confidence in the opinions of the members of this community and so believe that the Diana 34 is the superior gun. For my budget and interests the Hatsan 95 was the right choice, though. As always, the "right tool" must be "right" for all of the reasons you put out there - and fitting your budget almost always ranks at or near the top of that list. Just sayin'.

no brainer - the 34 with the TO6 trigger is clearly a better air rifle -- forget about the insignificant pellet velocity difference - accuracy is more consistent / easier to shoot well on the 34 -- I have one in 177 and it produces one shot quick kills on squirrels - if you need more power , get the 22 cal -- like I said /// no brainer

hi guys im new here and also to airguns . i had both the hatsan 95 and the model 34p in .22 . both shot equally well and acurracy was equally well . i gave the 95 to my son and kept the rws only because i liked the t06 triger better . imho the model 95 is just as good . the rws mod. 34 was a refurb from airgun depot . best deal for such a wonderful shooter.

The Diana 34 was replaced with the AMS , but I like it better than the Hatsan 95 . One is parts availability , second the weight and third the shooting cycle is much better . I have to say the power belongs to the 95 !

The Hatsan is more powerful, but there’s no point in that if you miss. The Diana 34 is accurate with a nice trigger. accurate and deadly.
