Hatsan Mod 125 Sniper, Camo

This air rifle in .22 hits hard and is very accurate. I shoot the 16 grain Terminator pellets with great confidence. I have not mounted any optics to this rifle yet, as I have fewer than 250 rounds through this rifle. I tossed out the supplied bi pod. The trigger could us e a little adjustment.

Pros
Plenty of power. When paired with the right pellet, serious penetration is the end result. Very accurate with H&N Hornet at 40 yards. Shoots JSB 18 grain pellets with a solid whack.

Cons
None

El arma es muy potente y gran presentacion. No es para debiles solo amartillarla se nacesita fuerzas, gracias a mis 250 lbs lo puedo lograr. La mira y el bipoide no se deberian vender con un arma de esta calidad son pura chatarra inservible .

Pros
Magnifica .solo el arma

Cons
La mira y el bipoide no valen la pena en esta arma

I have both the .22 and .25 looks and feels like a real gun ! A little heavy but when you make something from steel it will be heavy. I don't how they sell it at this price. The people at AIRGUN DEPOT are the best never a problem . Everything I've ordered was well packed and on time. You can't go wrong with these guys they know what they're doing and do it well ! thanks....

Pros
Hard hitting and looks mean.....

Cons
None for me.

I thought this gun would be all I wanted - power approaching a PCP, a good bundle, and pinpoint accuracy out to 50 yards. Unfortunately, I could not achieve any semblance of accuracy with this gun. So I read everything I could about it in every online forum I could find. Turns out the more power a spring gun delivers the more hold sensative it is. I tried every variation of lightly gripping the gun with my shooting hand while utilizing an artillary hold, I tried shooting off sandbags at different positions on the forearm to allow for ballance and the gun to naturally recoil repeatedly in the same way but nothing worked. At 20 yards my groups were having difficulty staying in a pattern the size of a baseball. Now, being new to springers I believe some of this could be me but the biggest variable with this gun that I could not adjust or hone my skills on was the trigger. The quattro trigger is awesome on a Hatsan PCP rifle (more on this later) but I believe it is worthless on their spring/nitro-piston guns. In forum after forum I found owners were replacing screws and modifying the trigger to get it to an acceptable pull weight. You cannot pull this trigger, at it's lightest setting, without having to grip the gun fairly tight. I read that some people have found these triggers to pull around 6 lbs at the lightest setting. The trigger design is also poor - Hatsan states on their website that you cannot pull straight back or it will add tension to the pull and feel heavier, that you must pull backward and up at a 30-40 degree angle to lessen the feel of the pull. No matter what I did I could not get it to feel anything close to an acceptable pull weight. So unfortunately after 100-150 very frustrating shots, pulling my hair out trying to find the secret to unlock the potential of this gun, I had to send it back. And, yes, I did try different pellets, and even the 25.4 grain JSB diabolo exact kings did not produce any accurate groups. Now, I may have just been unlucky and received a trigger that was stiffer than others, but with all the issues others were having I did not want to take a chance. Pro airgunner Rick Eutsler was able to get great accuracy with this model but I have to wonder if when a company sends a rifle to a professional airgun reviewer they probably send him their very best out of a thousand they've produced....needless to say, I don't believe the one I received was that one:( But the Airgun Depot was AWESOME to work with and the return was quick and easy. I ended up paying more and going with a PCP setup. I went with another Hatsan (can't beat their price and they do have good reviews...in spite of my particular luck). I got the AT-44-S long barrel (not the quiet energy model) in the .25 cal and it is everything I was hoping for. It claims up to 970 fps in the .25 which is about 50% more power than the 125 sniper. I put 9 shots (which is how many rounds a the magazine/cylinder will hold) on the target at 30 yards and all 9 were covered by a dime!!! The gold quattro trigger on the PCPs is nothing like that of the springers....I was able to adjust it to a hair trigger and the pull is straight back....simply awesome trigger on the PCPs, but off course there is not the tension of a ginormous spring to safely hold back on a pcp like there is on the 125. That is the accuracy I was looking for!! So go with a Hatsan PCP and you won't be disappointed...you'll have to spend about twice what you would for a 125 (including a pump or scuba tank), but it will be worth it! Oh and so you know, the AT-44 comes with a mil-dot scope, and once I got it dialed in at various distances I was able to shoot a bur oak acorn off the top of my target at 100 yards!!!

Pros
Looks and feels well built, very powerful for a non-pcp, camo is great.

Cons
Quattro trigger on this model is a bust! The bluing looked a little thin at places. Gave the gun 3 stars based on the pros listed above and the possibility that I got a particularly bad trigger, but could have easily rated it lower....what good is power if you can't put the pellet where you want it to go....

this gun is big bulky heavy and really hard to cock. the gun is really long. they sent it to me with a broke pin and stripped trigger screw. AGD was helpful in sending it back. the bi-pod was the cheapest thing I've ever seen. the scope is okay.. but the gun is too heavy for bird hunting or squirrel hunting and moving around a lot. getting a lighter gun. its really powerful and really accurate but needs work. and WAY overpriced. made CHEAP. feel like its about to brake.

the gun is heavy.. and long.. big and bulky. it looks amazing and shoots like an angel. hard to cock but loud and kicks like a real pellet gun should. its amazingly accurate and shoots very well tho.

Pros
looks accuracy power

Cons
heavy long cheap bipod

I bought this rifle about a month ago to get ready for the upcoming squirrel season. After a good 200 shots she was hitting solid groups at solid distances- without even replacing the scope. It contains plenty of power and I'm sure it could take a raccoon. Pellets I'd recommend that worked for my cousin were the JSB Diabalo exacts, crosman hollow points, and especially the predator polymags. Now here's the one issue- and I'm not sure just yet if it is to the fault of me or the gun, or the manufacturer, but we were hunting on a cold day at about 10 degrees- we live in Wisconsin, so this wasn't too abnormal, and after 10 or so shots, after shooting, the synthetic stock on his rifle broke in half from the barrel back. So I'm not sure whose fault it was for this but we did nothing abnormal to it, it just broke. Now, this gun was working great up to that point and this very well may have been a freak accident. I would still recommend this gun to anybody, I doubt what happened to us will happen to anyone else- One of the best non-pcp accuracy/power duos on the market today.

IN SEPTEMBER I RETURNED A BENJAMIN XL-1100 POOR GUN WOULDN'T HOLD 3 INCHES AT 20 YARDS AFTER 150 SHOTS WOULDN'T HIT THE PAPER. THEN I GOT AN UMAREX OCTANE BARREL END BLEW OFF ON THIRD SHOT. NOW I GOT THIS HATSAN WHAT A DIFFERENCE 5/8 INCH GROUP AT 20 YDS OPEN SIGHTS 3/4 INCH AT 50 YDS WITH SCOPE. RECOIL LESS THAN MY GAMO OR SMOOTHER. IT IS HARD TO COCK. GOOD QUALITY CAMO STOCK.

Pros
Very powerful and accurate

Cons
None

I just got this gun in the mail and was surprised by the sheer power this thing has. Every time I shoot this gun (and I am using crappy pellets) it breaks the sound barrier. This gun has a kick when you shoot it and do not be fooled by the muzzle break/ silencer because this gun is fairly loud. Overall I am very glad I bought this!

Pros
Great gun, tons of power!

Cons
Loudness

This is the most powerful air rifle that I've ever had! It is big, heavy, and very powerful. It can penetrate an inch and a half into hard wood. There is recoil, but not too much. A very accurate gun.

Pros
power,power,power. If you hunt small to medium game this is the gun for you. The air rifle is also very quiet.

Cons
little heavy
