Title: The need for another .25 cal rifle is calling me.....
Post by: fortyshooter on August 01, 2012, 09:20:25 PM
I love shooting my Sniper 125,just from the power this thing displays when hitting targets.
So as not to wear on this one too much,I'm thinking why not another .25 version but maybe a wood stock this time.
Other than the Hatsans,I don't think there are any other springers in .25 cal.,  that can give me the power I look for.
Should I take the gamble on getting one more "good" gun out the box?
I wonder if the QC has gotten better?
My other air rifle is the trusty Ruger AH in .177 and while a great shooter,it just isn't the same impact...of course.

This evening after a long day of baby sitting the two toddler grand daughters, I had the Sniper out destroying the tall aluminum water filled Miller Light bottle type cans. When those .25 cal slugs hit... the screw on cap and geyser of water shoots up over 8ft high,while ripping the can from top to bottom. Plus the hit on the steel plates is like a hammer.
A great way to end the day!

How about a hatsan 135 in .25?    Sorry you said other than Hatsan.  My Webley Patriot I think is running about 29 FPE.  Oh that is a Hatsan made.  I have a Ruger Air Magnum with a .25 cal barrel on it but I don't think it is as strong. 

This info was taken using JSB Exact King Dome 25.4G

       Make                    Tuned        Avg FPS              Ave Energy

Walther Falcon Hunter     N              659.7                 24.62

Walther Talon                 Y               629.4                 22.45

Webley Patriot                Y              752.2                  29.79

Ruger Air Marnum           N              594.9                 20.2


The Webley and Two Walther's Were made by Hatsan.  The WFH was in ithe first batch shipped in.

The Ruger was purchased as a .177 cal.  The Barrel is a .25 Cal for a B28.


I know it is a different class but I discovered that I have not chronied my .25 Maurader.  I will have to put that on my list for next week.

i love the 25 also, but i dont like that i have to buy pellets online. they are not available locally.i use mt 25 cal guns for woodchucks on up to avoid blowing through my pellet supply. i dont know that i will buy another 25 just for that reason, unless something radical comes along, i will just stick with 22 for plinking and small game.

The Cometa 400 Carbine in .25 looks good. I found a Spanish online site that confirmed several times they had no problem and would ship air rifles to the US. Not expensive at all.

Decisions for me to make...can't have them all.  Should I get the 135 or wait for a lefthanded 25 supercharger pistol???
Is the 135 the exact same shooting engine as the Sniper 125? Does the 135 have same or better quality as the Sniper 125?
I don't see many post here on the 135,is it new to the Hatsan USA line?
