Hatsan 125TH Air Rifle Combo, Black

Hard hitting with 30+ FPE at the muzzle. Love the thumb hole stock, but wish it was wood. I purchased two of these guns for me and my brother.

I own all three of the Hatsan 95 Vortex models, and roached all three scopes. I didn't even bother to install this one, but put on a Centerpoint 3-9x40AO instead, after breaking it in. The piston seal was defective from the factory on my gun as well as my brother's gun. Within 150 pellets the velocity on 19.91gr pellets dropped from 795 FPS, down to 720FPS. I tried to get PA to give me a new seal rather than return the entire gun, but when they said no I just purchased a Falcon-811 from them for $10.95 and changed it myself. I also de-burred the slots in the receiver and gave it a flush and lube job. After this "tune up" the H&N Field Target Trophy 19.91 gr pellets are now flying at a consistent 825FPS, with 29.95 FPE. If Hatsan would just move up to a proper sized seal and clean up some of the burrs from manufacturing, their guns could command more money. I would like to see them return to using thrust washer on the spring follower, instead of a thick plastic and metal washer.

This is a very nice shooting gun for a magnum air rifle, and highly accurate with bother sights and a decent scope. I'm 65 years old, 6'1"and weigh about 205#, and I have no problem cocking this gun and shooting 100+ pellets in an evening. A smaller person might have a problem if they were not as strong as me, but the cocking is not overly prohibitive. If you can do your own tuneups on air guns, this will be a serious magnum, rifle for you. With a good seal and proper tune, this will be a go to gun for varmit control.

This is a very decent "springer" type of .25 cal air rifle, for the price. An good price for an beginning med. sized bore rifle. The fit into my shoulder & hand is outstanding. The pellet hits like a run away freight train, so putting down any game should be of no problem with a decent shot.

The recoil is a very big surprise if you are not ready for it, then it has to be the weight. I would not want to be "humping" this through the woods on a long hunt. Then there is the noise of the spring uncoiling during the firing sequence & the piston slamming home. The scope could be better with a large dia. scope or be able to put a peep sight on it. Does it come in a "Gas spring"?

This is a big heavy, loud firing rifle, and very long too. But if you are used to this type of issue, then I would recommend this rifle. I am shredding cans at 30-40 yards with in 2 days of shooting, so I fully expect 50 yard + shots to be of no problem. [And I'm still breaking in the barrel] But you had better eat your "Wheaties" when "cocking" or breaking the barrel open. Your are will fell it after several shots. But I do STRONGLY recommend this rifle.

Thumbhole stock is perfect for this gun especially because of the weight, it makes it much more stable. The gun is very very powerful, this is my first magnum springer and it lives up to it. I found that my gun shoots best with the jsb 25.39 diablo & ploymags 26 grain, they are the most accurate and delivery a hard punch. I found that the heavy 31 grain H&N hit much harder then the others but only out to about 25 yards, they start to drop off quickly. This gun is a powerhouse, it blew through 1/2" plywood i had behind my target and kept going.. so make sure u have a good backstop. I have taken about 4 squirrels, 2 rabbits & a fox with this gun all avg 30 yard shots and man do they kill quick. I have a Gamo silent cat .177 that i have killed many critters with but none have died as humanly as the .25 delivers and for 200 bucks it can keep up with some pcp guns.

the scope is just not great for this gun, i swapped it out for a center point 4x16 mill-dot and its deadly accurate. But ther again 99% of air rifles come with crappy scopes so... i wish they would just knock off 30$ for that cheap scope and call it a day. Great gun though!

Overall very happy and yes it does take time to get used to the gun as any gun but i have found that pressing the gun a little tighter to my shoulder takes care of the spring recoil and barrel raise. 25 yard shots that i can cover a dime with is as best as u can ask for with a pellet gun. This is NOT a air rifle for a beginner or a young hinter, it is just to powerful. Ending, this is the only air gun i will hunt with from now on, also check all the screws and bit after about 200 shots, nothing to worry about but mine were a little loose, just need a phillips head and ur good to go.

my cousin and i both ordered these guns on same the day both guns are .22 cal.The gun i received shot 6" to 8" groups at 15 yrds and i tried 5 types of pellets including jsb and cphp.my cousin's gun is one of the greatest gifts to man if he has anything to say about it...lol . he can shoot nickle size groups at 30 yrds all day long.well i returned my gun to pa and they sent me another.this gun did a little better. i could get 3" groups at 15 yrds. i didn't chrony the first gun but i did chrony the second, it shot cphp 14.3 grains at around 820 or so.jsb's dipped into the 790's NOT GOOD! I have an english made webley tomahawk that does that and an rws 350 that shoots faster. well needless to say i sent that gun back . this time i pre ordered a hatsan 135 which was suppose to be in stock march 30. but that didn't happen the date was pushed back anther 2 weeks .i just asked for my money back.Im going to order from a place that has it in stock.i can see that the 125 can be nice gun

but its the luck of the draw .the scope rail needs to be farther back towards the shooter.i orderd a leapers 4-9x40 mil dot illuminated scope. the eye relief is like 3".It didn't work out so well on this gun.

pa was really great on the returns of the guns.i did have a problem on the really bad packing job on both guns i received and the 1 my cousin received .the guns were doubled boxed but very very little packing inside the first box.the inner box with the gun inside was just sliding around.all three guns received the barrel of the guns had broken through the styrofoam packing insibe the box. I have say i ordered the 4 for 3 pellet deal and i was very impressed at how well the packing of the pellets were.maybe pa should move the person packing pellets to packing the more expensive guns...just a thought

The style,color and feel is super cool...i really like the power this bad boy puts out....i really like how easy it is to aim and shoot because of the weight..other riffles are alittle to light wich makes it harder to hold steady...atleast for me..this purchase was totally worth it.

the only thing i would change would be a better scope.i mean the one it comes with is workable but i myself put a 3-9x40 leapers scope...works freaking awesome....

just know that my new leapers scope rings didn't work so i used the ones from the original scope...works perfect.i really love this riffle..thinking about getting the vortex sniper version just because...lol

Extremely powerful,very well made and durable.This is my second Hatsan rifile,their brand seems to be very good quality

I aggree with some of the other customers,this gun is pretty heavy.but I guess all that quality comes at a price.It would be awesome if Hatsan could make an air rifile with all that power and features but make it considerably lighter.

Hatsan products have a lot of nice features and are well made and powerful,but they are quite heavy.For the price and all the features they are a good but.

Trigger, thumbhole, power, accuracy, and shooting experience.

It has quite a recoil, follow through is important. When mastered, it will make a good small game shooter and even distance plinking. Mine does well with JSB 18 the best but does well with several. It is heavy and front end dominant. Great rifle.

Accurate, powerful, consistent, fun to shoot!

Better scope and scope mounts (or sell without).

Type and weight of pellets make a huge difference. I was very disappointed with this rifle at first until I realized I was shooting poor quality pellets. The holes were all over the target at 22 yards. I finally figured out that my rifle likes the 26 Gr Predator Poly Mags and I love shooting it now. It routinely touches the same hole at 22 yards from a sitting position. Although I have not used it for critter control, I have no doubt that this would take down a raccoon and anything smaller. If you have not shot these newer airguns, they are substantially more powerful than the pellet guns we had as "kids". This rifle will shoot through a 3/4 inch plank at 22 yards. The "Spring" guns do have a "kick" and can be frustrating at first when learning to shoot them. Do some research on the artillery hold, it works! Happy shooting

yes it is heavy and yes it is big but the power the .25 caliber puts out is enough to take any small game you can hunt.. it is heavy to cock but thats the price you pay for high power in a springer..

nix the scope.. i wouldnt mind paying an extra $20 if this gun came with a great scope.. a nikko stirling would be a huge improvement over a optima that is barely usable..

dont even thing of using the open sights.. you need a 4x scope just to see the front sight.. the gun is that long.. some complain about the trigger but lets be honest here, people never admit they are a horrible shot so its always something with the gun.. i have never shot a gun with a truely horrible trigger a good shooter can adjust and adapt to the gun he is using.. this is not a gun for beginners so if you just want the most power you can get and know nothing really of airguns go do some research and get something that is at your level of experience..

Price and accuracy....2 HUGE points of this rifle. I have it in .22 cal. Wasn't fond of the thumbhole stock at first, but now I love it. Lots of power for a .22 and super accurate for the price.

As with the Hatsan model 95 that I own on .25 cal, drop the scope from the package and drop the price a little to reflect it. Scope doesn't hold zero very well due to the recoil that a springer like this creates.

Again, pitch the scope and pick up a UTG BugBuster or AccuShot line scope. These are very good additions to this platform. Taken quite a few squirrels with this one as well as some rabbits. Most squirrels have been taken under 50 yards, but only beause of the surroundings. I'm sure longer shots are possible but haven't had the opportunity to take them. Just for target shooting, decent groups have been experienced at 60+ yards. As with any other air rifle, zero it and properly aimed shots will dispatch about anything "rabbit sized" and smaller at 60 yards and in.
