Hatsan 125 Sniper Vortex Air Rifle

I'm like eighty years old and I love this thing! Got the .22 version. Out of the box - crazy powerful. Quite an impressive kick. (in both directions) I can see why it has a reputation for destroying scopes. Very fast and accurate. Miss a pop can at forty yards; YOU'RE the problem. The search for the perfect pellet continues. Live out in the sticks and I'm plagued with woodchucks, and dispatch over twenty of them per year, at an average of 40 yards. Best to date, was a woodchuck at 92 yards. (couldn't believe it myself) Not for kids who aren't body-builders.

I think a walnut stock would be "killer," and maybe a tad lighter. But to be fair, the extra weight adds to the shooting accuracy, IMPO.

Great for squirrels, but at about nine pounds, not something you wanna carry around in the woods all day. Cocks hard and did I mention that it's heavy?

The amount of power. How it looks like any other rifle.

I would say make it a lighter weight, but I know that's not feasible.

I can't express how much I like this rifle. I think the scope which came with it is just okay at best, so I took it off, and I'm getting the open sights tuned in. I ordered see thru rings, and will remount the scope later. Maybe upgrade too. But for now, I'm just enjoying the recoil.

Not a single thing

A much longer barrel. Take muffler off and I have a break barrel PISTOL with a longer barrel. Piece of junk is a boat anchor now. Wsted my money

Out of the box with open sights shoots well. 60 yards hitting an 8 inch gong consistently. Just got around to mounting the scope. The scope is ok. I found accuracy with 13 gr. Pellets. The heavier pellets not so much. Overall a nice shooter for the money.

Don't consider this for your young son or daughter. The nitro piston requires some muscle. A good shooter. Cheaper then centerline and rim ammo. Enjoy!!

Strong ,Hefty, powerful and it looks good

Wouldn't change anything its all you'd expect from a powerful break barrel air rifle powerful and strong.

Other than Hatsan 135 QE .30cal the Hatsan 125 sniper vortex QE ..25cal the most powerful break barrels i have shot.

Wow, this is some rifle. It not only looks mean, it means business. I realize a synthetic stock is not to everyone's taste, but I didn't buy it as a mantel hanger. You still have to admit for a synthetic its about as pretty as they come. Looks aside the power is phenomenal. I don't have a croney, but this beast will sink a 10.4gr .177 pellet 1/4" into a 2" thick slab of solid oak at 50 yrds. That comes at a price you pay for it in the cocking effort for sure. Not sure its really all of 50lbs but tell that to my left arm after 2 weeks of plinking every afternoon/ evening. Accuracy is a work in process. Ive had it less than a month, but got .75" grps@20yds w/iron sights right out of the box. Slapped a Hamners 3-9x32 A/O on it & after getting acquainted somewhat we're getting .5"@ 40 & 50yrds w/occasional flyer. The quest for THE pellet continues.

I'd probably get it in .22 or .25. Because anything 8gr or under in .177 goes super sonic. Not only in accurate but definitely gets the neighbors attention. Also wish Hatsan would offer without a scope. Not that the ome it comes with is bad. It just kinds limited for what the rifle is capable of with better optics.

Switch cocking arm every so often or you may start listing to one side when you walk. LOL

This rifle is a BEAST! I selected the readily available .25 caliber instead of the currently unavailable .22 caliber and I am thrilled with it! Iron sights are accurate. Aim is a true reflection of the shooter's skill. I am working through sighting in the scope. The .25 chewed through 5/8" treated pine at 20 yards. I'll need to keep it away from the neighbor's fence. It is loud, but not unpleasantly so. It will be the last thing the rabbits hear. The rifle is cosmetically appealing. Trigger pull is crisp. Cocking and lockup are as tight as they should be. I am very excited to get better acquainted. Pyramid was easy to work through swapping the calibers. All in all, an EXCELLENT purchase.

A great value for the price. Why change a good thing?

I don't know what it would sound like without the QE upgrade.

Very hard hitting rifle.

The trigger is not really adjustable, I received the rifle with both of the adjustment screws at their limits for adjustment, rifle has a heavy trigger pull. Accuracy suffers due to this aspect of the rifle. The rifle is also louder than I expected.

Needs a better trigger.

Very nice rifle and well built. Way more powerful then I expected. Very happy with my purchase.

Nothing

Iron sights are accurate. Haven't put it through its paces yet - will break it in without a scope first to settle everything down.

Its the loudest air rifle I have ever shot - sounds like smacking two 2x4's together. If the break-in period doesn't quiet it down, it will be looking for a new home. (This is the .25, so it isn't the pellet breaking the sound barrier.)

This rifle is bigger and heavier than any of my deer rifles.
