Hatsan Mod 135 Vortex QE

All expectations met and exceeded, the Hatsan Vortex 135 QE is the most incredible and awesone air rifle I've ever held, owned or shot. A 15 out of 10 all day every day!

Pros
First things first. If you're new to Airgun Depot, you're in for an incredible purchasing experience from start to finish. Browsing AD's website is a pleasure, ordering is a breeze, they 're right there with your order updates, and WOW is their order processing and shipping fast! I placed my order for the Twang and Bang Combo on Wed Aug. 2 at 10AM, and it arrived Fri Aug. 4 at 11AM. Thank you very much Airgun Depot! The Hatsan rifle and accessories arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. I opted for the .30 cal variant. This rifle is absolutely beautiful and superb in every way, and the Turkish walnut stock is something to behold. It's heavy, but I knew that going in and don't care. The Hawke Vantage IR scope is a beast, and a perfect compliment to the rifle. The UTG scope rings are nice and beefy. Very impressed with how much you get and how much you save with the T&B Combo. Honestly I couldn't be any more thrilled and happy with this rifle!

Cons
The only thing I'd change is the same thing everyone else would change, the 50lb cock to break the barrel! But it's so worth the effort!

Would Love to have this or similar in a .357 caliber.

Pros
Hits HARD and accurate, Fun to shoot. Adjust for drop and you're good to go for distance. Fires JSB and Vortex Strike pellets very well.

Cons
Include a removable barrel extension to lessen the force needed to cock this bad boy?

You're going to wonder why you waited on buying a 30 cal break barrel.

Pros
Hits like a train, accurate, its The Goat among break barrels.

Cons
Lengthen the barrel another 2 to 4 inches.

Pros
I like the weight, as it help steady to shoot.

This is my favorite break barrel Ive owned. Great performance for the price point. Great varmint gun. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a large cal. Air rifle. No issues so far.Great gun for the money

Pros
Hard hitting, break barrel,double nitro pistons. I own this rifle and love every moment I get to shoot with it.its pretty accurate right out of the box. Great for small game hunting too.

Cons
Its a large heavy rifle due to the double piston technology. Mine is .30 cal. So its harder to find ammo. Stock up when you find ammo if its .30 cal. And the cocking is quite a job especially when the gun is new.

Other then heavy, And a very hard cocking lever, This is not a casual backyard target rifle, This is more for pest control. When I first got it, It was as loud as a standard load .22, Echo heard thru the woods, Now it is pretty quiet. I have been using Ruger 1.1g Superpoint .22 cal (5.56mm) pellets. The wood stock is outstanding! Very nice, ( I used boiled linseed oil to rub on the stock and really brought out the color and grain real good), And adjustable trigger works good. Overall this is a very good rifle for the money. I would buy again if needed. Thanks

Pros
I have the .22 cal version, Very powerful, Instant kill on a woodchuck @ about 15 yards just peeking outta his burrow. ( he saw me earlier and ran) Great headshot! Where I live I can't shoot live .22s due to close neighbors, But this rifle fills the bill.

Cons
Not really a complaint But it is hard to cock, And it is heavy, But it is a quality rifle

Hatsan Mod 130S Vortex QuietEnergy .30cal Airgun, Black Synthtic single shot break barrel pump 560fps best pellet in mine is Hatsan Vortex Strike .30cal...they make very satisfying “WOP or SMACK “!!!! -50 yards head or neck shot on ~ deer, hog, whatever can be humanely dispatched. Sound emitted is 33mm piston and pellet impact. Eye protection a must, hearing protection not needed but recommended. Everyone that shoots mine wants to buy it . Nope!

Pros
Bot this version first. Those very painful pointed should stock tip can and will every shot bruise your shoulder AND your inner thigh area as your charging this beast. There is a definite harmonics jaw rattling with your check bone next to the stock in firing positions. If you place the stock on the ground you’ll damage those points. And if you place the stock on top of say tennis shoes or even boot, those same pint will damage you. Just take it from a disability Ret former LEO / Armorer, Fed agent , federal park ranger… they refused to least the weight at10+ lbs without scope . My 6x24-56 AO Fantastic Leapers UTG easily handles up to .50BMG. Folks you want the much lighter synthetic black adjustable check stock. Impervious to weather , much more difficult to damage compared to beautiful Turkish hardwood. My point versions rear sight was damaged . I used my scope regardless, you get giddy with accuracy and power of .30 pellets out to 80 yards. Depending eye sight, ksa’s

Cons
Both are ~50 lbs cocking effort! Man up! Always keep a firm grip even after you’ve cocked the barrel. Only takes one time pulling the tree offer or losing your grip and the barrel slams close permanently bending the barrel and warranty. Wasted a lot of time doing this critique! Just buy this one: Hatsan Mod 130S Vortex QuietEnergy .30cal Airgun, Black Synthtic single shot break barrel pump 560fps. And clean the sound reduction equipment. Picture Rt To Lt Both Open Plastic Thimble to breach Then Both Fabric Covered Baffle this allows pronged barrel screw cap to secure and seat in properly- the only way it will fit back together!!! Clean in Dawn liquid soap with water in screw cap contained for each separate of 4 pieces , rinse in clean water container and air dry & reassembled in exact order described here! From Hatsan s website somewhere

Don't hesitate. Drop the $$$. You won't be disappointed.

Pros
I ordered this rifle in .25 cal and it was the right decision. I know this is the 1st big bore springer in .30 but I thought the fps. was a bit low. I am truly pleased with this gun. A couple tweaks after I mounted a scope and this beast will one hole it at 40 yes. all day long. Always been partial to springers but this rifle is truly special. I think I like it more than my Bullboss in .25.

Cons
It is almost 10lbs. naked. With scope and sling(must) it comes in a little under 12. It's a bear to carry around for several hours.

I've owned 3 yes, Three of these, one was never canceled from another store. It's a shame the gas piston doesn't hold up. Next time HATSAN. Please, spend a little longer time on R&D. I have three other model HATSANS never any problems only this particular model HATSAN 135 QE!.

Pros
It's a beautiful walnut wood stock. It hits like a beast all mine were in 22 cal.

Cons
The air piston fails after a year give or take?

I'm writing this in hopes that Timothy the guy on here that left a review on here she's what I'm writing he said that 30 caliber pellets are hard to find well I don't know why he can't find them but if you go on Amazon they have hoards and hordes of them all different types I have not yet bought this gun but I sure do plan on it in the next couple of weeks I will own one

Pros
Haven't yet bought the gun but I do plan on it

Cons
As far as I can tell I don't think there are any thing that I would not like about this guy
