I believe the trigger adjustment is with a hex wrench that should have been included in the box.
 
The screw does look missing. I checked my gun and it is in internal screw, but you can still see it from the surface.

Or it could be adjusted too far in where you can't see it. Try using the wrench to see if the screw is there, and turn it until it becomes visible. I did this once when trying to lighted the screw. I thought the screw fell out, but it was still there.

Yes, you are correct. My apologies everyone, the screw is in place. It is an allen screw, unlike the other two adjustments on the trigger. My bad, totally. Actually, my son noticed that it was an Allen screw, and I had overlooked it. We made a few tiny adjustments and Actually had the trigger feeling pretty crisp.

Due to my crappy shoulder, I recruited #1 son to sight the scope in. We were thrilled that in just a dozen shots or less, he had the Hatsun 95 Vortex shooting one-hole groups at 15yds inside the bullseye

We were delighted with the accuracy of the rifle. He was truly shooting thumbnail sized groups.
I was anxious to shoot the first gun since my rotator cuff surgery Jan 5th. Unfortunately we could not bring the scope into clear focus for my eyes. Son admitted that it was blurry for him as well. My point of impact was off a few inches from his, but still with tight grouping. My journey to the bullseye went on and on until we decided that it was the scope that was failing us. I had fired some twenty shots and my shoulder was becoming disagreeable. We decided to contact airgun depot about the scope and call it a night.
 
Sucks that Illinois is that way, AF. Glad you are getting some shooting in, though. I had a GAMO my Dad bought for the boys, they weren't interested in it after they started shooting real ones. The older one eventually rediscovered it, took it out shooting in the winter and ruined it. :cuss:

I am preparing to do just that. Any suggestions for a good scope and rings.?
I direct that question to anyone.

Glad to hear the 95 is working out.

Airguns of Arizona has a selection of springer rated scopes. Airguns of Arizona

There's a bunch of different brands that should serve well.

My Hawke model, Sport Optics, is no longer being made. But the Vantage model appears to be in the same price point.

Look for a scope with an adjustable objective to make shooting close range easier. I think most fixed objective airgun or rimfire scopes have their parallax set at 50 yards, but I shoot mostly at 20 yards.

Buy from a seller with a 30 day return policy and shoot the scope as soon as it arrives. My two scopes that died broke in less than 100 shots, but my two current Hawke scopes are still surviving after hundreds of shots each.

Scope rings should be robust. I can't remember the make of the rings I bought, but any quality set of rings will be better than the rings that came with the rifle.

It looks like you found pellets that your rifle likes. That's great. Sometimes it can take a lot of searching to find the right pellet. Pyramid Air sells pellets with a discount if you buy so many tins.

Don't forget to clean your barrel at some point. Don't use metal rods because airgun barrels use soft steel. Some use monofilament and heat the end to make a ball to fit a patch to run it from chamber to muzzle. I use a plastic coated cleaning cable. Also, never use petroleum based cleaners. Use Goo Gone to remove the gunk. But it sounds like your barrel is clean given the small groups.

Congratulations on your new rifle!
 
Also, look for some rings that have a set screw if you're going to use dovetails. Or buy a separate scope stop. If the 95 is like the 135, you should have a choice of picatinny or dovetail. On springers the scope could slide back and forth a little due to the strange recoil.
 
Thanks guys.
I'll be checking pyramid and Airguns of Arizona.
The 95 has dovetails, no rail.
It does have a stop.
When we quit shooting my front ring wasn't tight....I wouldn't call it loose either....but it tightened. Regardless, I cant see clearly through this scope.. i like shooting at a cross bullseye. I couldn't do that because of the double vision....I could make out a circle bullseye. It was still awful though.

I will clean the barrel, we were getting lots of 'smoke'.
 
"smoke" may well be dieseling depending on how much oil they put in it when they shipped it. So, cleaning the barrel may have no effect if its coming from the propulsion system. Make sure you use proper lube on it to prevent more dieseling.

I don't clean my airgun barrels much. Fair amount of debate there as to do it or not. That said, if you have a rod or pull through small enough a few patches at this point likely won't hurt. It will take a few shoots to calm down after cleaning, but not a big deal.

N.Y. Did the same thing to US recently, anything over 600 fps is classified as a firearm. So defeats the purpose of using one and now means we can't shoot any vermin in are yards if in town or a village.

In Illnois anything in .177 is NOT considered a firearm,regardless of velocity. Only .22s that are 700 fps or greater.
 
I thought it was strange that the owners manual made it clear to lube regularly.....but 0 details on where, and with what.
The hinge/latch area had grease. Nothing mentioned about the piston.

I am enjoying the learning curve of a new discipline. I gave to get another scope soon and get into it.
