Nice Mercs.
Your big boy .30cal was a tighter group, but its nice to see different rifles having a go.

Ive just aquired one of the entry level Hatsan .25cal springers, but I'm yet to pick it up.
(If anyone happens to be coming past Rototua en route to Hamilton/Cambridge please let me know, I might ask you to pick up a springer for me)
Pics show it as having open sights, so I might give it a go at the challenge when I finally get my hands on it.

Lightweight youth rifle, initial free standing attempt not uploaded.
Less said the better.
I lost height in a rather constant manner, so perhaps that could be corrected.
Shooting to the right was not the wind so head position problem.

Norica (Thor) .177 calibre springer
Uses green/red filaments in rear/front sights
JSB Exact 8.44 grain pellet at 8.5 ft/lb
33 yards standing, tripod, open sights
87mm OD group

That bottom target would be dead rabbit all day long.
I must have a serious go on a larger bore one day.
Ends on 7th, two more competitors and that hundy bucks can go to some one.
30m open sight, to anyone else interested.

Nice shooting, those hatsan's have a lot of recoil. Thats the main reason my .25 is still sitting in the gun safe lol

Wind settled for a few hours so set up for open sights challenge.
Hatsan has OEM Truglo green-red fibre optic sight.

First attempt indicated some practice required.

Second attempt looked to form two separate groups but at least on similar plane.


Hatsan .30 calibre model 135 springer
JSB Exact 44.75 grain pellet at 29 ft/lb
33 yards bench rest, open sights
89mm OD group


Hatsan .30 calibre model 135 springer
JSB Exact 44.75 grain pellet at 29 ft/lb
33 yards bench rest, open sights
62mm OD group



Hatsan do make of pointing out the dangers of using an airgun.

Try drawing a dirty big arrow head pointing to the bulls.
Its a lot easier to site the post under a big arrow point.

The circular target I used above is also an A4 page. The OD of the black area is 95mm (which is pretty much all I can see at 30yards, I cant make out the two white outer rings at that distance), and the white dot in the very center is 23mm.

This is supposed to be a springer 100yard (scoped) target challenge, but also seems to work well for 30yards open sights.

Kruz, yeah it does look a little high. it was hard to get the thing adjusted so i was just aiming at a spot on the tree where i knew the pellets would hit. and yes it is just as quiet as the video. the target is a4 paper the square from corner to corner is around 90mm. there is a link to the pdf at the top of this page.

Pete, yeah it does look like a diana 48 but it is not. As far as i can tell it is a old Chinese KL-3B fast deer it is the safety lever on the side which gives it away.

Might be I'm always on scopes but that rear sight looks high in elevation.
Is the rifle as quiet as it sounds on video?
What size is the target?
Is the tree regularly injected with lead? 😁
