Hatsan 125 Air Rifle, Black Stock, Vortex Piston

punch, power, detriment to target, substantial rifle in all areas

just received, 50 pills taken thus far, so as of now not much very impressed

anyone thinking (such as myself) that .177 and/or .22 is good enough or fun enough well just give .25 a shot, its something else, ordered the .22 but somehow received a .25, not happy at first but i am a believer in some things happening in our lives for our benefit, so ordered pellets, and to make this short i am still smiling while typing this... cant wait for more shootable rubbish to come my way cuz shooting paper is not near as much enjoyment, thanks pyramyd, you guys run your business as it should be for all.. have cheap red dot on until nvh subsides then will mount a hawk 4x scope for what i am assuming will be excellent poa to poi accuracy. just had a thought, most say including myself to clean barrel first and for some reason this one was clean, hope its not a remanufactured one but its flawless so far, chrony was 650 to 710 for first 5 shots 25gr jsb. thank you for reading my 2 cents have a great day everybody

Powerful and accurate !

Trigger blade metal

My trigger blade cracked by the adjustment screw( 1500 rounds ). Can't get in touch with hatsan.........

I got lucky! Bought mine elsewhere..and was fearful..of bad piston/seal or other problem. None exist. PA guns should be even better! Legitimate power/accuracy claims. I have a Beeman Mach 12.5 .22 and compared performance. The 125 IS slightly more powerful..although the Mach has 2000 rounds thru it. It is louder...which is not a factor for my uses. Synth. Stock! My 12.5 has Two stocks..one is scarred. This gun will take over as heavy critter workhorse!! I am now able to restock my. Rare Mach.!!!

NOTHING to the gun. Usual scope stuff..but I ALREADY had a 6x24 ...waiting to bust the supplied one first before mount. Scope work good for now.

It seems a lot of us are 60 plus. I can cock it all day...but WHY? You COULD plink with it..it make good destruction...if you need 50 plus shots to make your game limit..you got 50 whatever ..unless you are blind. It accurate and powerful...as advertised. If I get 100 shots on game with it and it breaks. It still money well-spent. Kills from deer size on down. Easily. Humanely.18.2 Crow mag. FX 25.39.gr. Need no others..except to fool around.

Nice trigger, fit and craftsman ship very good

Weight scope and shortin pull lenght

You get what you pay for. Great gun for the money.

The overall fit is good. I liked the adjustable trigger and the iron sights.

The air rifle is too nose heavy - difficult to hold up while standing.

Make sure they specify whether you're buying a new or used air rifle. I only found out mine was "remanufactured" after I rcvd it. Also, the bore was filthy.

Power is as advertised and the accuracy was a pleasant surprise. The big pieces seem robust. The report is not too loud and the recoil is manageable. The terminal performance with mid to heavy weight pellets is impressive (14.3gr - 21.14gr). Cocking effort is stout but I can cock it one handed. I'm about 150 shots into the break in cycle and it is getting better with every shot.

The length of pull of the stock is ridiculously long (and I'm 6'6" tall!). Then it comes with additional spacers! I will not complain about the weight. It is a full power magnum springer and it is what it is. Be aware it is as long and heavy as an M1 Garand! In my opinion the rubber recoil pad is too soft.

I did the research before I bought it and I knew what I was getting into. With that said, the trigger blade snapped in half after about 30 shots. The trigger failed where the first adjuster screw hole was drilled through it. Hatsan customer service responded promptly to my inquiry. They agreed to ship me a replacement trigger blade and I had it in eight days. Results: entirely satisfactory.

Very well made and rugged. I took the rifle out of the box and put the scope in my tool box because I purchased this rifle to shoot open sights. I fired 8-10 round through it to eliminate the dieseling with the oil on the cylinder. I was using Crossman Premier 14.3 he pellets and I was getting a true 890 FPS. I plan to order some lighter weight JSB (around 13.43 gr) and recheck the velocity. This rifle shoots very well and is acurate! I have a 13 inch, tin pie plate hanging in a tree at 75 yards and I can hit that off-shoulder all day long. Also, this gun shoots flat compared to my other air rifles. Very nice rifle. I have not tried the scope but I understand they are not the best quality. NOTE - I also have a Walther Magnum air rifle made by Hatsan and could not keep scopes on the rifle. The recoil would internally damage the scope. If your thinking of another scope for this rifle make sure it comes with a lifetime warranty.

So far so good.

Nothing. I am familiar with these air rifles.

The gun is quite accurate and pellet friendly. I have found all these to be very accurate- JSB 18.13; H&N Terminators; H&N Sniper Magnum; Crosman Premiers 14.3, both domed and hollow point, Hatsan, both Supreme and Express. It is powerful; up close it will shoot through a pine 2x4. Gun is well made and seems very solid. Noise level is medium loud, may not be advisable in an urban back yard. Cocking effort is not bad, about the same as my Crosman nitro piston Elite .22. I like the TruGlo sights even though I use a Leapers scope. The original 3x9x40 Optima didn't last very long. The gun would rate five stars overall, but for the trigger and scope. Following all the instructions on the web and in the enclosed literature, I cannot lower the trigger to to a point I like.

If Hatsan is going to enclose a scope with the gun, then add one that will last and raise the price. For me the trigger is poor; I don't think an average air gunner should have to tune the trigger to get the pull weight down.

The gun is heavy, and more so with a scope; I wouldn't recommend it for hunting. The sniper model of the 125 is available with a suppressor and I would get it for urban shooting.

This is powerful and accurate. CLEAN THE BARREL!! The Scope SUCKS!! Buy a good scope! Shot a small bird with a 15.9 gr JSB at 25 yards and it exploded!

The lock-up of the barrel when closing, is way too weak. Needs a more secure locking mechanism.

I think this airgun is a great value as an entry-level air gunner. Many YT vids on disassembly, repair etc. I've only put about ten rounds through it so I have no feel for its accuracy yet. The trigger feels very good and I haven't even touched it yet. Of course the scope is junk. I bought a UTG 3x9x40 Hunter, its bright but the eye position and eye relief is critical for a good sight picture. Haven't shot it enough to judge repeatability.

I do not like the shape of the trigger, the pull of the stock or handgrip. It's very "euro" and that's OK but I'd prefer something else. I removed the recoil pad completely, the pull is ridiculously long. Wished I had gotten the sniper model with a more pistol-like grip.

The cocking force is tough. That Vortex piston is no joke. If you're a paper-killer like me, you'll have to consider getting up off the bench to cock your gun. Sure, I can cock it seated but do I want to? No. I'm no weakling but at age 66 I'd be done shooting after 20 rounds if I stayed seated and to me that's not enjoyable. My whole mindset when I bought this package was "to see if I would like airguns and not spend a lot of money." I made the right choice, its a great value.
