Pointless. There must be a couple dozen of these amateur reviews in the archives here dating back at least a decade.But I thought I had a couple of observations I’d like to open up for discussion.I’ve had a plain Jane .22 cal Vortex ram Model 125 for a couple of years now. After some initial teething issues it has settled down to be a darn good airgun. I just purchased a .25 cal refurb springer from Hatsan. At this point I’ve put around 300 shots through it. Mostly 20gr FTT’s. After a little judicious lubrication it sounds more like an air rifle and less like a piece of agricultural machinery. Smoothness and accuracy are both improving and the sound of the shot is a sturdy thump. Interestingly it is free from the dreaded Hatsan “Ping”. My .22 version rings like a wind chime every shot. Here is the quirk. My .25 is the plastic “Sniper” stock variant. Because of the stock contour, the cocking slot is deeper and wider than the slot on my .22 variant. This creates a “slit drum” effect and it amplifies both the cocking noise and the shot noise. I’m thinking of cutting some rubber gasket material and gluing it inside the horns of the stock forearm. I think this will deaden a lot of the action noise. Has anyone tried anything like this with a synthetic stocked springer?Here’s a comparison of the two guns.
Carter: what kind of velocity are you getting on that .25 springer?
On e thing I have to remember when shooting my Hatsans is lift the trigger not pull it straight back.
What is the heaviest .22 pellet you have tried in the 125 ? It may be worth trying one of the upper mid heavies to give some more down range smack\.
Tommy Woods had one of the best explanations for using that Quattro trigger and the odd pull it takes.Slide your finger down the trigger until the bottom edge of your finger is on the trigger guard. Now just keep it there when pulling the trigger and your finger riding up the inside of that trigger guard as a guide makes that odd upward and back trigger pull way easier. Worked for me (least it does when I finally remember to do it that way...lol) and maybe will for you??
