Thread: Are Hatsan good air rifles?

Cheers guys, the online company in NZ I bought the air rifle from got a bit sarcastic about me sending the gun back,they said I should just forget about the faulty $6 torch and keep the gun.
Pretty poor response, plus I got the blurb about any damage, no refund, and "you can get the torch for $6 at Hunting and Fishing"...what a rude dickhead he was. Not in the slightest concerned the brand new gun I bought had a faulty torch which was part of the deal.
So have kept the air rifle, as I simply didn't trust him for a refund, feel he would have made any excuse.
Can't name and shame I guess, but I'm really pissed at his response. I feel sorry for anyone else dealing with him.
As for the Hatsans, looked online and pretty poor reviews, and poor build quality seems common.

So I'll keep the Benjamin (Crosman), seems nice enough, and will sort rats easily. I'll have to get a torch myself, around $100 according to the local H&F store.
Thanks guys.
