I have a question for you guys. I don't have a chrony, and I am new to airguns and need advice. I had bought a 125 hatsan sniper, that was sending RWS super dome pellets 14.4 gr super sonic. And it also sent exact jumbo heavy 18.13 gr super sonic. It did not however send beeman Kodiak 21.14 gr super sonic. But I had to return that gun do to a trigger issue, it cocked but would not fire. Anyway I decided to get a hatsan 125, due to it being the same gun mechanically same fps and so on, so they say. Anyway I got the new rifle yesterday and nothing goes supersonic, I am shooting at the same wooden backstop and the pellets are only penetrating half as much. Should I return it, in my mind it's only half as strong. Also the first gun was in a vortex, and the new one is a nitro piston, and they are the same pellets out of the same tins.
Does diesling make noise, and won't it do it for all the pellets. Not just some. I did clean this rifle before I shot it not the last one. What about the penetrating does diesling give it more power.
The sound of it going super sonic or small caliber gun shot. Idk but just with it not going into the wood as much makes me think it's got less power. And it's the same piece of wood I used on the previous gun. I might just return it and get the sniper again I liked the feel of that one better.
a 125 will not send a .22 super sonic, they are rated at 1000fps and can just about bet it will not send a 14.3gr pellet that fast. the sniper is a good deal quieter than a non sniper model so what you were hearing was just piston slam. you will not hear it with a non moderated unit due to the louder report from the muzzle. the only way to be sure it is slower is a chrony. I have a hot RWS 350 in .22 and it will not send a 14gr pellet over 1000, and I do have a chronyyou are just hearing more muzzle noise with out a moderator and on the sniper you hear the crack and piston slamming that you really cant hear with the normal 125 chassis
I don't know what you Guys heard but after a tune?I get a kind of 'poof' with the 125 Sniper that even the Wife does not hear from the next room!Talking to the Guy next door? He didn't even know I was plinking!I hit a high of 710 FPS with JSB.
