Title: Shot My New Toy Today
Post by: Whino83 on May 20, 2020, 06:30:25 PM
I’ve recently gotten into airguns and Monday I ordered a Hatsan 125 (non sniper, normal synthetic stock model, springer) from field supply. It came today and I did some shooting. I am completely satisfied. After shooting at 10 yards I could see it liked the crow magnums the best of the 3 choices I had to try. After some sight adjustments and some practice I was easily shooting 2” groups from 30 yards off hand using the open sights. I had an occasional flyer that was all me and not the gun opening some groups up. After 75 ish shots fatigue set in. Between the cocking and holding the rifle up to shoot it was starting to wear on me. Luckily it started raining and I was able to walk away before my groups opened up more.

This is going to be an expensive hobby....haha.

Frankie...congratulations on your new Hatsan 125 rifle.   

I also prefer the 125 without the moderator.

What caliber did you get ?



Best Wishes - Tom

Welcome and the Hatsan 125 is a fine shooter with the right pellets, seems you have found the one !

Expensive hobby ? Only if you start applying the N+1 rule, which we normally not tend to do here  :D

You mean the rule where  N = enough,  right?
And N + 1 = I'm satisfied. Is that the rule.

Frankie if you're getting 2" groups at 30 yards offhanded then you have already broken that bronco.

Frankie, congrats on getting a gun that works well for you. Keep breaking it in. Be careful in the scope choice, if you go that way. Tom (aka Tommyboy) can provide lots of feedback about that, as can others.

Have fun and be safe, because it's really not a "toy,"
