My near new 125S Vortex failure

[Grover]

Well,  I tried  one in Camo from PA.  Damaged in shipping.  Shot 2 feet high and left.  Box had impact damage.

Fast forward 1 month...  got my refund, and ordered one in black from AGD.  Tossed a 3-9x50AO UTG on it and had a blast for about 400 rounds.  Did nickel-quarter groups when I was in a groove.   Shot it this morning and accuracy fell off rapidly to "all over the place".  Swapped scopes with same result.  Tried open sights...  Same.    Chrony'd it and the same 13.12gr. pellets that it was launching at the 100 round mark at 970fps were now down to 705fps.  Also has a sharpness or "crack" when firing now.  Breech seal seems OK. 

I'm sending this TIRD back.  Within 30 days, so shouldn't have a problem. 

This is the third Hatsan that has given me headaches, and with internet shopping the return process headaches are multiplied. 

Sorry guys.  I'm done with the Turks.  Best of luck.  I'll see you on the UK gate. 

Kirk out.

That stinks, sorry for your troubles!

Sorry to hear Grover, mine's only the 95 Vortex in .25 caliber, but the only issue I've ever has was the rear stock screw coming loose. Been a great rifle otherwise.

Sorry to hear it.  Hatsan has been known to leave debris in them.  Maybe shaving/s damaged the piston seal?

From what I hear, much fewer QA issues with the 95's, easier to shoot accurately, and nice quality wood stock.

I do understand though 

On the bent barrel, UPS?  Around here known as Oops.  Couldn't deliver a brick in one piece if it was wrapped in a Sherman tank.  Sorry to hear indeed
