A handsome gun no matter what caliber you prefer, though I dare you to resist owning the world's first big bore break barrel. We were able to obtain 30 ft lbs of energy using the .30 caliber beast. And you shouldn?t have to worry about it chewing up scopes as long as you have a decent air gun rated scope on top. We were surprised that the double recoil was much less than other high power magnum power break barrels!

I received my Hatsan 135 after a few shots it discharged when i closed the barrel and noticed the stock was cracked near the receiver. I returned the gun to Air Gun Depot with a return authorization number. A brand new 135 was shipped to me and its working perfectly. I have now ordered another air rifle to add to my collection.
Pros
Very good gun see comments below
Cons
Defective but replaced
I cant share a good or bad at present because i just received the replacement
Pros
The stock is beautiful sights are great and service was very good
Cons
After about 10 rounds the gun stopped cocking and went off by itself also noticed a crack in the stock The company replaced it completely with a new gun. I havent tried the new one yet.
at 25 yards i could not get a grouping under 2.5 inches with more than 1/3 of the pellets getting flyaway. i think due to the loose fitting of the breech. had a break barrel when i was a kid. the rifle was over 20 years old. love that rifle. but this one being brand new and poorly assembled made me hate the 30 cal and was so disappointed every time i shot it. you would figure the company would have better standards then sending out a loose-fitting breech and no way to repair it. made the rifle a very dangerous gun for the shooter
Pros
liked the weight, the stock the ease of loading the break barrel
Cons
loose break barrel fitting right out of the box, poorly assembled, bought a scope specifically for the air gun do to its kick. scope moved every time it was shot even though it was tight
ALAN where did you find the silencer adaptor for your 135 qe in thirty iv looked everywhere
Pros
everything verry powerful
Cons
put a sling mount on the barrel
Andi where did you find an adaptor for your 30 cal [email protected] realy need some help thanks
Pros
fit & finish are excellent a little heavy but not too bad
Cons
front sling mount is in an Acquard spot
Pros
Beautiful gun, powerful, well made.
Cons
barrel is too short at 10.5". That's enough to increase velocity but not add too much drag. Get rid of the QE useless moderator and just thread the barrel, so we can choose our own, if we want to.
Pros
Bought this gun in 2021, and love it ever since. Put a Sumo suppressor on it and you only hear the spring and the pellet hitting the target. This rifle deserves a good scope, i put a median priced Hawke scope. What a powerful and accurate rifle.
Cons
No changes, but need to get use to the cocking
Pros
Great looks and extremely well made , shot a tin through it now .25 cal really enjoying this rifle put a very old Weatherby scope on it . I wish I had started with the Hatsan brand it makes my other choices in the past look very cheap .
Cons
I need to learn to cock it with my other arm to keep them even LOL
I heard hatsan makes a forward sling mount replacement for that sling mount. Its just a flat headed replacement screw to replace that sling loop. I think a Winchester style tube sling mount just might work.?
Pros
everything, wood. to metal finish. Power accuracy, fit & finish are excellent. no knotholes anywhere on it. metal finish looks like something off a RWS gun flawless.
Cons
placement of front sling mount not that its bad just in an awkward position while over your shoulder would like to see something like on a Benjaman npxl 725 its in the hinge area.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.penetration of the 30 cal in wood
asked Richard from USABasing the pellet weights at 14.3, 26.24, and 50 grains respectively it seems that the kinetic energy is 43, 44.5, and 45.6 joules with the advertised muzzle velocities. This indicates the .22 is the better choice if you are not required to keep lower muzzle velocity by legal limitations. And that maximum power output would be achieved with heavy .22 caliber pellets. Is there any other legitimate reason to select the larger more expensive pellets as preferred?
asked Jim from USAThis message is for Kevin, I hope you will find it and that it comes handy. Look for Mike Ellingsworth channel in youtube and see if you can get in touch with him to find out about repairing and/or servicing to your rifle. I'm quite confident that Mike can put your gun back on the field. Good luck buddy.
asked Carlo from USAis this rifle suitable for a left hander?
asked bill from USAHallo. wie fiel Joule hat die Waffe? mfg
asked Herbert from AustriaIs There a left-hand stock?
asked Josh from USAOther than looks, what is the difference between Mod 135 and Mod 135s?
asked noble from USASame internals between the 130S and 135. Same power too. I have the 135 in .30 and friend has 130S in .30.
Liam from USAHatsan claims 40 more fps with the 130s.
Joel from USAThere is no model 135s. There is 130S . The powerplants look to be pretty much the same. The 130S has a synthetic stock. The 135 an adjustable wooden stock.
Mark from USAIt's this Hatsan Mod 135 Vortex QE good too hunter Turkey?
asked Toufik from CanadaIf it can kill a racoon I think If you get a head shot your Chances will be likely
Nick from USAI'm curious if anyone can tell me. I understand that the 30cal is a beast but is the 30 really better than the 22 or 25? Is the 30 as accurate as the 22 or 25. I'm asking because I'm very interested in the 30cal but also wonder why it's on sale and not the other calibers. CURIOUS
asked Dana from USAits mutch bigger than a 22 but a 25 is smaller also look at this chart https://www.google.com/search?q=.22+.25+.30+pellets&safe=strict&rlz=1CAJIKU_enUS922&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjZguPBnY3uAhWRLc0KHfIyCaMQ_AUoAXoECBYQAw&biw=1300&bih=612#imgrc=JACCIP5cwvybgM
Nick from USAWhat kind of FPS am i looking at using a 20 grain H&N Field target trophy pellet 750 is a little slow using a 23 grain H&N Hornet in .25 cal.
asked Edward Yancey JrWhat would you say the effective range of this gun is against medium game? Also can this gun take out a coyote? I am planning on getting an air gun for pest control and possibly using to hunt medium game on a budget. I am planning on getting it chambered in 30 cal if I get this model.
asked Cayden DouglassI can buy in india
asked Ankush salveWould this work well for raccoon ? I have quite a few that try to get in my chicken coop at night and .22 lr subsonic only has had mixed results at dispatching the threat. I don't want to use high velocity .22 out of respect for my neighbors but thought maybe a .30 cal pellet might be more effective. Thoughts ?
asked jeremiah from USAAre you able to go deer hunting with this?
asked Hunter Laubensteinin most states u need a .30 pcp but check your regulations
Nick from USAWhat is the muzzle volisity of this rifle
asked WilliamI am seriously thinking about this rifle. I've found some pellets That more resemble a .45, .50 cal in design. About 80 and 100 Grain. Would these still work in this style rifle? They are Sold in lots of 100 on eBay as .30/.308 cal. I'm no ballistics Expert though I do have an extensive firearms background, But isn't it false to classify a .30 and a .308 as the same Size pellet/slug?
asked Danny croftWill the 0.25 drop a coyote at 50 yards?
asked Dale BakerWhat's the largest game you could hunt with the .30 cal of this? small deer, maybe? thank you
asked AshCan it take out a coyote?
asked Jonathan from USAHey guys thanks in advance for helping a newbie out. I am interested in the .25 cal. I know it will fit my hunting and pest control needs. 1. how adjustable is the trigger - does anyone know what the lowest poundage I can set? 2. Pest control will be at a farm and the farmer who is currently my friend and I want to keep it that way, had dairy cows, so I am hoping that the report will be subtle. If not, is there after market systems that might be able to help quiet this big boy down? Not concerned about the sound of the pellet hitting the target but the report of the gun it self. 3. what kind of bipod will work well with this gun? Again, thanks for the help.
asked Dean ForrestWould you recommend this for turkey hunting and if so in what caliber?
asked BruceI couldn’t find a complete list of what all comes in the box. What all comes in the box? Sling?
asked Mark from USAWhat is the length of pull in inches ( distance from trigger to shoulder )?
asked DavidAfter reading the comments about this rifle I have to seriously ask Are airgunners wimps? I have rifles that weigh twice as much, granted, they are in serious calibers, such as .338 Lapua and .50 BMG among others,but a rifle under ten pounds is no big deal, and fifty pounds COCKING weight, well Id say its time to start doing some push ups. this rifle is in the same weight range as the M1 Garand and the M14 are, unloaded. Someone Please let me know that these complainers are the exception, and not the rule!
asked Scottso it it just like a pump rifle, or do you have to fill it with gas?
asked jeffwill this shoot a raccoon out of a tree with a head shot?
asked mike atkinsI'd recommend the .25 or .30 to do that but yes.
Liam from USAWell this 30 caliber air rifle take down a deer if need be?

Liam from USAhow often to you have to replace the gas piston in this gun

Liam from USACan an ex-felon hunt with this gun legally?

asked Ty from USADoes anyone know if the .30 will go all the way through a pine 2x4
asked Ty from USAWill a .30 cal go through a 2x4 pine board?
asked Ty from USAWill the .30 cal go through a 2x4 pine board
asked Ty from USAInterested in .30 cal but I'm a lefty. Any thoughts on how this would work out. See a similar gun w/ different stock but only up to .25. What is the practical difference between .25 and .30? Thanks, Bob
asked Robert from USA
Pros
I bought mine almost two years ago, not too long after shooting it (30 shots or so) the little green thing in the front sight fell off. what a bummer! other than that is a very very nice gun.
