Thank you so much, Scp52. If you're talking to the OP, then you're talking to me, as well because I had the same questions, which is how I found this site and thread. I DO love my Hatsan, and I keep hearing entry level rifle. Sure, I know someone listed about four brands above like AA, FX, Edgun, and something else which I had never heard of before until I read that yesterday. I looked them up because he was kind enough to have a link next to each brand. Now you're talking lots of money and definitely out of the plinking territory and into the hunting territory. I live in Plinkerville (just made that up now !) but I don't want a slouch. I've been able to consistently hit dime size targets over and over again with my Hatsan. It sure doesn't seem entry level to me. After obsessively looking at all the rifles I could find it seems there's entry level and hunter (or pro) level with not much of a middle of the road. To me from my research, a middle of the road, which I would consider high end for plinkers and pests, would be the Sig SDA20's, Hatsan's, and the Weihrauch HW's. Thanks again for your future input and this is fun... - Mike
If I help you both somewhere along the line, definite bonus...lol. I can't afford the high end guns being listed. I don't target shoot or hunt 80, 100, 120+ yards. Not a competition shooter either. I pest things not wanted in the yard, not hunt. I target shoot out to 30ish yards although I can squeeze almost 45 should I want to. My guns run the range of inexpensive $100 rifles up to my HW/Beeman and Diana rifles. Yep, also own a couple PCPs but those are, you guessed it, Hatsans in a Galatian III QE .25 and Flashpup .25. Also have a vintage 1973 Sheridan Silver Streak, a CO2 pistol and a couple oddballs most don't even consider and may even not know about..lol.
What I have fits my wants and needs and they get the job done whether it's targets or pests and why I said buy what fits your wants and needs and I'll add, not because the crowd says you should
