Hatsan Torpedo 155 Vortex Air Rifle, Walnut

Love the fit and finish. I'm pretty traditional (read that "old school") and much prefer wood to synthetic. This rifle is absolutely magnificent in appearance. I have found it to be very accurate for my purpose - probably capable of greater accuracy than I am. Currently using the open sights but I am contemplating going to some type of scope.

While the rifle IS heavy and requires effort to cock, I wouldn't change a thing.

My wife got this for me Christmas 2021 in .22 caliber. I am 74, partially disabled and do find cocking somewhat challenging. We have an absolute infestation of California ground squirrels and I am definitely putting a dent in their population. As I do this from a stationary position verses stalking the weight of this rifle is not an issue. Definitely install a sling if you plan on "toting" this behemoth around for any length of time. For my purposes (rodent control/plinking) it is all I could ask for and more. Definitely a satisfied customer and would recommend.

5 Stars, all around. It's been 2 years in the making - 1 year on back order for the rifle, then another 10 or so months of .25 ammo on back order. First weekend putting it to the test, success! Pros: Well made and fitted; however, you can see sanding marks on the stock, but at the price point, it don't matter; all parts and bluing are consistent and well finished overall; heavy and stable, great for bench shooting; accuracy, best thing is that it stays on POI throughout the day regardless of changing temps and atmospheric data (unlike my springers). Cons: It's heavy; sling swivels and sling are great, but as with most rifles, they will scratch the wood stock where the swivel loops connect to the sling swivels; underlever (at least my rifle) drops down with heavier pellets in the 25 gr plus range; receivers screws are locked in with star lock washers, none worked loose.

My mess up, the forward trigger guard was working loose throughout the day. I kept tightening it thinking it was the usually receiver screw working loose due to vibration, turns out it is a wood screw only, which means I stripped it out of the wood. I'll need to drill out a new hole, dowel it, and drill a new screw hole to fix it.

It's heavy, around 12 pounds with scope and mount, but perfect for bench.
My rifle shot best with the 20 grain pellets, consistent POI throughout the day and able to shoot pellets on top of each other. The two heavier 26gr pellet brands I tried both resulted in the under lever dropping down during the shot and poorer accuracy. Seems the sweet spot for pellets is around 20 grains.

Well built,powerfull,and good value.

Nothing

It is a for strong adults.reminds me of m14.heavy
The trigger is good and with good scope accurate.

Not sure. I didn't keep it.

Hatsan's packaging was seriously lacking. The rifle broke out of the styrofoam and was loose in the box when it arrived.

This gun arrived at my house all beat up. Poor packaging. Stock was damaged. Bluing on barrel was rubbed off. Bluing on bolt was scratched up. It looked like I got a used or badly refurbished rifle. Emailed Hatsan to tell them about it and they basically told me to deal with Pyramydair and were no help. I returned the rifle immediately and never shot it.

solid air rifle easy to operate very accurate out of the box very pretty air rifle!

i cant think of anything right now

this is a great air rifle for plinking and small game hunting
definitely worth the money. sounds a bit quieter than a .22 gun shot but still loud enough to hear from inside the house
has a tiny bit of kickback
its a bit on the heavy side and feels like a .308 or .30-06 but it feels rugged so I dont mind the weight

This gun is as accurate as it is beautiful. I have only used high quality pellets, but I have found its not very picky and groups well with all pellets I've used. But mine likes the predator polymags the best. So far its been very sturdy and hits pretty hard. - I love the rubber butt-stock. -Ive heard/read that this was a hard gun to cock, but i find it's actually pretty easy. If a gun is too hard to cock, you might crank it in weird ways and wear it down over time. To me this feels like a breeze and isnt difficult at all.

-My dear she is a heavy girl ( but being and under lever and wood stock it is to be expected)! it didnt help that I put a big hawke scope on it, but i need good glass to see at 30+ yards. I had to remove the rear sights to mount my scope and i used the high scope mounts, i might not have to remove it if I used a smaller scope. - The sling mounts seem small, and the Hatsan sling is absolute crap. its way to small and offers no real cushion. And the she metal on the Sling hooks have scratched the beautiful wood stock, so I had to wrap them to prevent scratching until i get a better sling - What really bothers me is how difficult it is to load. While i love that it has a bolt action, it only leaves barely enough room for for my thumb to awkwardly manage to get a pellet in, it takes practice and i still drop more pellets than any other air gun ive ever used. Forget getting a pen loader too, they wont work.

I have found that to get the best accuracy, you dont need to use the "artillery hold" like with most gas piston air rifles I've used. It shoots more like a traditional rifle in my opinion. I hold it pretty tight or on a rest bag and get great accuracy.
- This gun makes you go through a lengthy process to fire, though I really like it for target shooting purposes. You first need to release the lever "button" and cock the lever. Then you need to press the "lever release" button to rest the lever. Then release the bolt, awkwardly manage to get a pellet in, reset the bolt, get into position, then release the "anti-bear trap". Now your ready to shoot. It seems a lot, but ive found I love the rhythm for target shooting.
-If you dispatching of vermin,well your best to have all but the last "anti bear trap" step loaded and ready to go because a follow up shot probably wont happen. The good news is, if you hit, you won't need a follow up shot.

Nice packaging!

Would be nice if it WORK!! didn't even pump! Broken before it even had one pellet!

Do NOT buy from PA, Customer service is terrible. Wait on phone for hours on end, and don't answer, and recording says call you back shortly, which means days! Refund has been over 10 days and counting! !! Also getting unsolicited emails!!

Beautiful walnut stock; Tru-Glow open sights were accurate out of the box! The trigger felt pretty good without me adjusting it. Shot empty water bottles [no misses] about 50 ft distance. Last time I fired any kind of rifle was 30 years ago. Carried an M-1 and then later M-14 way back when I was in Marine Corps [0311-Infantry]

Larger sling swivels would be nice. I'm having a heck of a time installing a "Magpul" sling through the stock tiny sling swivels but I think I've got it worried. The included Hatsan sling does not impress me.

This thing is a BEAST! Also very LOUD! [I kind'a like that] I'm glad I ordered the .25 cal, it sure wreaks havoc. I find it hard to cock the underlever, I have to use TWO hands, but then again, I'm 80 years of age, what do ya expect?! I'm not experiencing any problems with the underlever falling down as some others have stated.

Very well made and beautiful rifle, vary accurate, I shoot cans out to 80 yards consistantly. Vary happy with my purchase. Excellent value for the price.

A little heavy after shooting a hundred pellets, but that will make you stronger and will build up your shoulders for next time you take it out.

Very accurate without a scope, I shoot with open sights with this air rifle out to 100 yards.

I like the rifle right out of the box 704 -706fps wit Air Arms 25.4gr. =28fpe

The packaging was crappy from Pyramid Air so the good of that is the rifle has predamage so I don't have to worry about that thanks.

Great gun poorly packed up, still no regrets.
