Update/ on todays dilivered 125 sniper!

[Mike 4888blues]

 Well  It is here, One hatsan 125 sniper .22
only problem  is  it came in black not the camo I was promised. it was also supposed to be at the same price as the black sniper.

 Am I disappointed??
 Not really  I kind of expected it  after reading Paul's review, hey at least it was not the thumb hole stock ( not that there's anything wrong with that, just  not what i am wanting right now.
 Back to the sniper 125/.22 in black.
 dude's and super cool old timers listen up, this sniper 125 in plain old English is  bad @@@  awesome looking, better then the pictures..  doesn't  even feel heavy to me  at all.

 I called Joao  and spoke with him, by now we all know  hatsan arms  really made a mess of his order, I hope that changes in the future for him or hatsan  will be loosing a vendor.

 Joao of American arms wanted me to keep this and shoot it until  he gets a camo sniper in he said he ship it to me  and have this one shipped back, I told him  I will keep this, no sense him loosing more money  by getting back a used rifle down the road.

 I like to go with the flow if its understandable life's to short my friends not to do other wise.

 Back to the 125 sniper .22 in black, has a  patches oil here and there, yes its over done for protection, the muzzle brake, sound moderator  looks totally awesome, its big too 8'' long
 the bluing  looks  ok, not a RWS    I took it out in the sun, with my eyes  it looks  like thin black painted barrel , but so did the mod 95. , "no complaint from me mind you!
 I will tear this down  right after i shoot a couple times.
 well my impressions is  I love it!!! get one any one but get one!

 You wont know what your missing until you do!

 
  Oh'' wait, i herd  you asking about  the plastic stock?...  its awesome , looks nice and rugged  like it cant wait to be dragged thru the Forrest  and put thru its paces 

 I just took it to my control room , cocking force felt good, not as strong as i was expecting, barrel was stiff but not over tighten, lock up felt very good, breech area has a glob of thick red lubricant, yes I wiped it off completely.
  The 1st shot sounded great !!!  oh'' yeah this baby has some power that's for sure
,he'' he'' went right thru my controlled area shooting board,  two doors and a wood panel of ply wood lol, and right where i aimed, with open sites out of the box.

Folks'' there's no doubt theses have been set up from the factory to keep from any harm encase they had to sit 10 years lol,  I can tell they have been lubed for protection and meant to be cleaned up before use, that's all '' and that makes sense to me, all you crying baby's out there  complaining about dripping oil ""well boulder dash"".. kernel potter says boulder dash  now move it solider, and while your at it put a smile on your face.   
 
 We are here to enjoy each others post and sharing , I am a master plumber mostly commercial and industrial / stopped working  for several yrs now so i can physically regroup and go back to light weight residential plumbing and heating.

The point is its nice to be on GTA and feel like a kid again, thanks to Gene  and Bobs  awesome website.

My face will be smiling as so as I get confirmation my Airgun will be here Friday. Stock sounds as I had hoped. I upgraded my 125th to a 125 sniper camo thanks to Scott making me a deal on it so I could get it by this weekend.  Can't wait to see pics. Just don't tell me you found metal bits in the compression  chamber or a chuck in the bottom.

Mike, can't wait to hear how it performs for you!  Would love to know the fps and how quiet it is.  i wouldn't fret about the camo.  You could always get it dipped and would probably last longer than what Hatsan puts on it.

First of all, some of us "crying babies" out here expect better and are not so blinded by sales hype that we are willing to throw honest objectivity to the wind when we purchase an air gun.

It is quite clear you are glad handling the reality of what you've recieved in your quick dismissal of the oil bath and the poor finish.

While it's great you like your gun, there is no need to insult others well thought and spoken evaluations, nor is it necessary to attempt damage control of the Hatsan's clear shortcomings that are clear and evident to others.

Just enjoy it, be straight, and don't insult others intelligence or opinions.

You know what ?  I was a joking  but  obviously some people  no matter cant see a light hearted jester of comedy, the bluing was fine by the way,  just not like a RWS would  of looked gees.
  lighten  up get the bigger picture if that was not a little comicle then  you need to re read it or try to see it for what it is.. the point is of course  if some one needs to complain about the oil  then have at it , that's there prerogative, as it was mine to joke about it  in a light hearted way.
 my money has been  well spent,  nothing was tossed  to the wind.
I am glad I have my sniper even if it is black even if it has over oiling  on it.

What we have here, is a "failure to communicate" . . . Typical of internet communications, it is often difficult to feel the emotion behind the words. A joke can be interpreted as funny or a criticism, since there is no emotion conveyed with it !

Dave

[Mike 4888blues]

That's for sure Dave.  With me adding the Sherman Potter from MASH bit with the solider put a smile on your face i mean even me saying i feel like a teen age-er again ,as well as what  ever was all pretty light hearted.

 If I wanted to Attack Dave, it would of been a direct Attack, there would of been no light hearten play  at all,  no Sherman Potter, no sharing about  me being a plumber and going with the flow.
   I would not bother to attack some one or rudely criticize others  because as i also mentioned
Life's  too short.

 I may of done that about a vendor in the past but even  that I took the tip from gene to not do it again.

I call it the people factor you get 50 people and there among the 50  one will see things more criticle then everyone else .

 same person who jumped down my throat when i mention doing a typical tune  to your air rifles was easy, I got  oh there more to tuning that I am aware of. when the subject was basic  typical tune that all the tuners have taught thru there post

 If I wanted to Attack Dave, it would of been a direct Attack, there would of been no light hearten play  at all,  no Sherman Potter, no sharing about  me being a plumber and going with the flow.

But then, of course, I would have to take a "crack" at Plumbers ( LOL !) like this . . . Or, worse yet, post something to make Mike want to spend $$$ . . . LOL !
