TheOptima by Hatsan 125 STG TH Sport Vortex 5.5mm is a powerful spring-loaded carbine that uses a polymer stock, Vortex gas spring, Quattro adjustable trigger mechanism and SAS recoil reduction system.
Manufactured by Turkish arms manufacturer Hatsan, the airguns have been popular among Polish sport shooters for years thanks to the capabilities they provide within their price range. The Optima by Hatsan brand offers the same excellent cost-to-quality ratio, which is a direct result of the solutions used in the manufacturing process. The manufacturer's tremendous capabilities allow it to manufacture every part in a single factory, so the windguns are made from scratch under the watchful eye of Hatsan specialists.
Optima by Hatsan 125 STG TH Sport Vortex - a thumbhole bed windcheater
The carbine's stock is made of durable polymer, which is resistant to mechanical damage, weather conditions and moisture. Maintenance and cleaning of the plastic bed is limited only to the maintenance of general cleanliness and occasional use of silicone oil. Thumbhole type flask has a pistol grip with thumb space, which is beneficial for comfort and control of the carbine.After-shot recoil is effectively absorbed thanks to the TrioPad system, which consists of a rubber foot and 3 interchangeable spacers of different thicknesses, which also allows you to adjust the length of the flask. Fine mottling was applied to the pistol grip and the front of the bed, which improves hand grip and enhances the aesthetic qualities of the carbine. Due to its size and weight, the carbine is intended for adult and experienced users.
Turkish Optima by Hatsan 125 STG TH Sport Vortex carbine with a classically broken barrel
Thespring is tensioned by the classic "broken barrel", a method most often used in spring-loaded windcheaters due to its convenient and simple operation. The Optima by Hatsan 125 STG TH 5.5mm shoots diabolo shot in 5.5mm caliber, loaded directly into the barrel. The polymer dummy suppressor with non-slip milling significantly eases barrel breakage and spring tension, most noticeable during long shooting.
Precision and long range
The 500mm long threaded barrel is responsible for the accuracy and repeatability of the shots, thanks to which we can achieve repeatable focus after just a short training session. The fired shotgun reaches a maximum initial velocity of approx. 305 m/s (~ 16 J), thanks to which we can accurately shoot from the carbine even at a distance of 50-60 m. The enlarged compression chamber allows us to carry out self-tuning, thanks to which we can increase the initial velocity of the shotgun.
SAS recoil reduction system
The carbine uses a patented SAS (Shock Absorber System) mechanism, which absorbs a significant part of the energy that accompanies the rifle's firing. The SAS system increases the comfort of use, extends the life of the internal mechanisms and protects the optics from shocks.
Adjustable Quattro Trigger mechanism
One of the most important elements of a weapon affecting its accuracy is, of course, the trigger mechanism. In the Optima by Hatsan 125 STG TH Sport Vortex 5.5mm model, the manufacturer used a two-stage Quattro Trigger match trigger, allowing the shooter to individually adjust the length of the initial path and resistance. The wide range of adjustment increases control over the shot, affects accuracy and shooting comfort.
Automatic safety
In shooting, the most important thing is safety, so when the spring is stretched ("breaking the barrel"), the fuse is automatically activated, which prevents the firing of an uncontrolled shot. Before firing, you should always turn off the safety, which is conveniently located in the rear of the piston chamber. This affects the extremely easy unlocking of the carbine, which can be done even without interfering with the aiming process.
Fiber-optic sighting instruments
The carbine has been equipped with good quality fiber-optic targeting instruments, i.e. a fixed bow tie and a vertically and horizontally adjustable sights. The fiber-optic rods with contrasting (green-red) colors, significantly accelerate the ripping of the bow tie and the pincer, and due to the high absorption of light, accelerate the ripping of the fly and the pincer. If you want to try your hand at shooting at a longer distance, you can also mount an optical sight of your choice on the 11mm rail. The rail has holes for a stop pin, eliminating the problem associated with "loss of zero".
