   Greetings,

I have a 125 sniper in .25cal it is my prefered choice for rabbits, possums and anything else in my sights. It makes a brilliant hunting rifle and yes the noise of the pellet hitting the rabbit is louder than the rifle going off. JSB Diablo Exacts are the best pellets through this gun. H&N Barracuda Hunter Extreme are also very good too.
I have sighted mine in for 40m and with a mill-dot scope i know where the pellets are gitting for 60 and 80m. Furtherest kill shot on a rabbit is 65m so far.

	not exactly an experienced shooter, had/have an old gamo .22 that was for rat and magpie plinking, but live in an area with possums as well now. As I found the seal had gone on my old gamo, I've just upgraded to a Hatsan 125 vortex .25 cal. Have a scope coming for it. (6-24x50) Did think about the Carnivore .30, but the lack of ammunition types (.30) decided me on the .25 cal, and from what I have read, up to around 50yrds, the .25 really doesn't lose much hitting power compared to. Only fired one slug through it, compared to cocking and recoil of the gamo? What a beast of a rifle. So guess I am open to advice, knowledge about this rifle. Most youtube reviews are on grouping, FPE and FPS, not really much about real world hunting with it. I know accuracy is important, but there may be options for hunting that are close to the JP diablo slugs (that seem popular for target groupings), but give far better hitting power. So I can see rabbit and possum shooting being on the cards in the near future as a 'hobby'.
