Bought a new Mod 125 .25 cal much slower than advertised
Ike the GSD:
My new Hatsan Mod 125 .25 cal arrived a couple of days ago and I've shot about 75 pellets through it so far and it's accurate but the power is a lot less than I expected, it's still powerful but nowhere near the claims the factory makes. This rifle using the JSB Match 25.39 grain pellets shoots 690-696 fps, whats weird is Hatsan's webite claims this rifle can shoot up to 850 fps with lead pellets, but the box says 750 fps? They're claiming up to 34 ft lbs and I can't see this rifle reaching that level of power with any pellet regardless of weight. Right now it's making about 27 ft lbs which is quite powerful, I've never owned a .25 caliber air rifle before and I'm impressed with the thump this thing has and it shoots through 3/4" hard yellow pine pallet boards at 30 yards like butter LOL It whollups the steel lollipop spinners like you wouldn't believe and I'm having a lot of fun with it. As long as there's nothing wrong with the rifle I'm happy with it👍

Seems a bit slow, spring or vortex ? I have one in spring IIR 750 ish to be it's speed, I have replaced a seal and polished the partson mine some years ago, I can run a few over the crony later to confirm. Accuracy might be easier to achieve with the slight power reduction ???

I would give a little more break-in time and make sure your getting good CHRONY number, Barck Roads what weight pellet are you shooting to get the 750fps? 8)
