Really good for the price. it hits hard and is pretty accurate. I think the only problem is how the scope mounts to the grooves on top. Ive tightened the screws as much as I can with a screwdriver, but after some normal shooting, they will get loose. Also, a couple of screws will come loose in other places, so you have to tighten everything really good. Everyone is complaining about the scope itself which is just an average scope, its the hardware and how it mounts. Still happy with it though.

I have been very pleased/impressed with this rifle. I've had it for a couple weeks and have put several hundred pellets through it so far. The accuracy and reliability of the rifle and scope have impressed me. This has become my new favorite air-gun although it's actually the least expensive I own. I purchased it in .25 caliber and am considering ordering one in .22. I've used 3 different types and weights of pellets so far and all have been consistent and accurate and great for target shooting. I have found that the two heavier (26.23 gr. and 23.5 gr.) pellets I've used seem to have less impact than the lightest one (19.91 gr.). They're all good for target practice but the lighter pellet is better for hunting. I believe this is due to the gun not being able to push these pellets as fast. This is not a knock on the gun as these heavier pellets are better suited to a more powerful PCP gun rather than a break barrel. If you are looking for a break barrel air rifle the Hatsan Edge Vortex is an excellent choice.

I have 4 air rifles and my two Hatsans are just awesome. The price for this gun and the accuracy and power you get for that price, is crazy! Buy this gun. You will have so much fun, but it is also a serious hunter, perfect for small game and pests. I bought the .22 and I cannot believe how great a rifle this is for the money. Power and accuracy. I have a $600 Benjamin Marauder, a $300 Hatsan Mod 95, and this Striker Edge Vortex is as accurate and as fun as either one of those. I do not need to worry about having a bottle of air with this rifle either like I do with the Mrod. I also have a .22 Beeman break barrel that I bought for $99 at Walmart and this rifle runs circles around it for the same price. It does not have the Quattro Trigger - that's the only difference. But c'mon...you are not buying this because you are a competitive shooter worried about match triggers, right? Practice with this trigger and there will be no difference between it and a $350 break-barrel. I put 225 rounds through it before writing this review, and it really surprised me. Compared to my $600 marauder PCP, it is almost as accurate (shorter distance). But for the $100 I paid for it, I could not be happier. It comes with a usable scope, and I actually like the synth stock. If you are reading this and considering whether or not to buy this or not...just buy it. You can buy two of these for the same price as one Benjamin Trail NP XL ($234 on Amazon). Seriously. Buy 2 of these. You will be so much happier that you and a buddy or your spouse can go shooting together. You will not be sorry. I do love this rifle, so 5 stars. And ps..it likes the crosman premier hollows 14.3 grain .22 pellets out of 5 different pellets I tried. It shipped fast, I shot it for three days testing it out. Did I mention open sites? If you don't like the scope, I was hitting sub 2" groups at 20 yards open sites on a rest before cleaning it and mounting the scope. I'm so glad I bought this Hatsan I could go on and on...but I'm going to end here. Break-barrel heaven in a gun that won't break the bank.

I have always liked everything simple and basic. At one time a new car could be purchased without all the deluxe options that only raise the prices and cause more problems down the line. I just never wanted to be sidelined because of something suddenly going on the fritz - like trying to get a car with an automatic transmission running when the battery is dead. So, I would always make sure there was a stick shift because under the same conditions I could get it started without any help. Same with my rifles, they can have plain black synthetic stocks, and even have a matt finish on the metal just as long as they shoot straight. When you buy the Hatsan Edge you are really giving up having all the conveniences common to the more expensive deluxe air rifles these days, with no Quattro adjustable trigger, and no built in vibration dampening system, and not even a sound dampener of any sort. The Edge is as basic an air rifle you will ever find, so be sure it is really what you want before buying it. Two common characteristics about rifles that have always been a priority for me are: It must be light as a feather, and it must be a short carbine.When you look at the product listings at Hatsan, you will see a Striker Edge listed. Mine is just called the Edge, as listed by Amazon and Pyramyd Air. The synthetic stock on my Edge is solid black. The Hatsan emblem has been stamped into the receiver just behind the rear sight, and right beside that it says in big capital letters - EDGE.It was an immediate love-hate relationship upon opening the box. Everything arrived in perfect order, and after pulling the Edge from the box and cutting open the sealed plastic bag it was shipped in, I noticed an unmistakable resemblance in size and weight to my favorite Remington. This Hatsan Edge has a shorter length barrel, short enough for it to be considered a carbine, and I like that. Even the sights are positioned the same, so man I was now in pellet gun heaven. This shooter is quiet enough to clear varmints from my backyard and never arouse any complaints from neighbors. I set up for testing it out and the first shot missed the target entirely. For about the next 30 shots I cranked, and cranked the adjustments until pellets finally began hitting the bullseye. That also gave me a chance to become familiar with how this baby shoots, and so discovered during the process - the Edge really does kick like a mule! I somewhat expected that to be the case, and the Hatsan is also now the loudest air rifle I own, but not so bad to require ear protection.The Hatsan Edge has a good solid build, and unlike many other air rifles that weigh upward of 9 lbs and more, this one is a measly 6.6 lbs making it very easy to handle. The rifle snaps quickly to point of aim, and will easily hold there for offhand shots, very steady, and I was soon taking a real liking to this rifle. After a few shots however, it began to get a little annoying getting slapped in the face by the stock with every pull of the trigger. Don't expect that Hatsan added anything to help dampen the felt recoil from the thrust of the Vortex piston, so I took a closer look at just exactly what the factory did provide. Absolutely nuttin'. The shoulder pad is made of solid hard rubber for zilch cushioning. It is molded precisely to fit in this stock, and the stock itself is hollow and constructed of very rigid polymer. A temporary cushion made of micro-cloth solved the shock problem, so I formed some Kel-Tec cushioning material with its own adhesive backing and applied it directly to the stock. End of that slap-happy nonsense!Breaking the barrel open for another pellet takes a little more effort than normal, but can still be accomplished without setting the rifle on its butt pad first. It also takes a deliberate thrust to reset the barrel straight again, so you must remember that during the process, the safety was set automatically. The safety sits conveniently at the rear of the receiver, so just remember to push it in before taking aim or you might miss a good shot. Also, I know better than to even try to mount a scope on this thing because even if it lasted long enough to get sighted in, it would break soon after, so I'm using the always dependable factory fiber optic sights since that is all that is necessary for shots out to 30 yards.Overall, I fully expect this rifle will accomplish what I need, and do so reliably for many years. It is truly basic, and it’s a combination that works for me. Simply enough, it has a good solid feel and packs a real wallop, and some of that energy is even used to push those deadly 25 caliber pellets out the bore at around 600 fps or more. I'm sure to develop enough confidence in its reliability that it will be, as the old story goes, the rifle I grab while trying to run out the door.TRIGGER:This rifle does not have Hatsan's adjustable Quattro trigger. It just has the standard one they claim is also adjustable for pull & travel. That has turned out to be a real joke. Other than the supposed adjustment screw looking like it was salvaged from a mechanics old spare parts can, there is no adjustment possible, or rather if you try to back off on the travel, be prepared to catch the adjustment screw as it falls out of the trigger housing. So better to not even attempt adjusting the trigger on this rifle at all. There is really nothing to complain about it just the way it came from the factory anyway. And that works for me too.FIBER OPTIC SIGHTS:The fiber optic sights are enhanced by light and are easy to see under most conditions. They quickly line up and I'm hitting the bullseye at 20 yards with the elevation adjustment cranked down just about as far as it will go. The windage adjustment, just like the adjustments on my other air rifles, is now positioned two notches to the right of center in order to hit the bullseye. I don't know why that is because there is no wind here, so possibly it is just my crossed eyesight - or something.
