Did a test shot on a button buck I harvested with my hunting rifle . So I tried the hatasan 135 .30 Diablo 54 grain pellet. Head shot between eyes saw .30 cal hole through stuck pencil inside It was inside brain cavity. So lead me to believe head shot is the way to go when shtf need meat to live and no bullets available. The hide neck area was to thick and tough acted like bullet proof vest pellet dropped down
Pros
Nice wooden stock. Heavy but you feel the power this rifle can have.
Cons
Cocking it is a bit tiresome shot after shot you get worn out.
Looking forward to this gun being broken in. After the first 100 or so shots I hear it gets easier to break. ... This is a serious air gun rifle. Seems well made. It is heavy and packs a wallop. I do recommend it.
Pros
A quality product.
Cons
It's a bear to break the barrel brand new.
Pre-CORONA, I had a cheap multipump .177 rifle (location: 2 decades unknown) and my dad's CO2 1950s era BB pistol. I started with getting my deceased paternal grandfather's .20 Sheridan fixed earlier this year. Now, I have .177 CO2 Peacemaker replica, two .22 rifles, and now this .30 bad boy. Tis the season, so it was quite impressive seeing what this 130s Vortex did to pumpkins compared to those other 4. She was on back order for a month or two; totally worth it!
Pros
I'm a fan of the sights on this model. I considered, and looked, at scopes, but now that I've had it in hand... I don't expect to add a scope or alter sights.
I had some buyer's uncertainty regarding ease of breaking the barrel, but it is definitely reasonable. For your kid... no, but I doubt you want them to have this model anyway.
Cons
weight. It is what it is. Lighter would be nice (like always) but I do enjoy how solid/sturdy the build feels on this Hatsan. I need to order a sling though for when I'm Elmer Fudding after city rabbits.
I'm really happy with this air rifle, and it is priced nice too. I recommend it, especially for people that don't want to buy the cartridges, pump, air tank or compressor, but want a powerful air rifle.
Pros
The power of this breakbarrel is amazing! I put my paper targets onto 3/4'' plywood, and every shot blasts right through it. Its fiber optic sights are pretty accurate right out of the box. It's nice to have so much power without having to buy any air cartridges, pumps, tanks, or compressor. one pump and you're ready to shoot.
Cons
This gun is not for young shooters, it's pretty big and heavy. Some people say it is too hard to cock, to them I say... hit the gym. If it isn't hard, it's too easy. This is a man's gun and if you are not very strong, then it may not be for you.
Making the barrel short sometimes increases velocity, depending on the pellet, but it's a trade off with accuracy and cocking effort.
Pros
Good Value, Styling
Cons
The reason this gun is hard to cock is because the barrel is too short-- 10.6". And it doesn't help to have a sharp front sight right where leverage is best. My Hatsan Striker has an 18" barrel, and my HW 35 barrel is 19".
Nothing
Pros
Don't try to shoot a Coyote or Racoon with this air rifle. Unless you are very close and hit it in the head you will only wound the animal.
Cons
Nothing
I got one of these babys for Christmas I love hatsan airguns this is the most Powerful Gas ram out there it's perfect for coyote huntin and racoons at 40 to 50 yards groping tightly for perfect shots its very well done with a polymer stock switch swivels added from the factory its 10 pounds with a scope added but the pellets are the same diameter of a 30-06 bullet so Enough said on power I actually prefer this over my P.C.P because it's a brake barrel totally the perfect Airgun for hunters
Pros
A Very powerful and accurate big bore for under 300$
Cons
Nothing bad about it at all in my opinion
Have had it about a month but have only been able to shoot twice due to weather. Have about 75 pellets through it. It is difficult to cock, it's a .30 cal though, but I have read that it gets easier as it is used. It is relatively quiet and backyard friendly. Once I get it sighted in I'm sure it will take down whatever it needs to, especially soda cans.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Can this air rifle safely shoot slugs?
asked Rex from USAWill this rifle accept conical slugs like those sold by Griffin and Apex?
asked Rex from USADoes this pellet rifle create enough fpe to humanely eliminate foxes and coyotes ?
asked Joe from USANo, not unless you're very close (10 yards) and hit them square in the head. You need a .45 or .50 for that.
Cory from USAyes https://www.google.com/search?q=fpe+chart&safe=active&sxsrf=ALeKk02yw-x-IfkkF7V388EZOMGr-Mke4w:1610315312479&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=iQDFYdcQfijkWM%252CeCDZW_bWA_NVXM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kRTA797kBTd2gvAvFZ6rTEPsQ_unQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj0uLSBrJLuAhVBYs0KHb8MDdsQ9QF6BAgLEAE&biw=1920&bih=1007#imgrc=iQDFYdcQfijkWM

Rex from USAHello I bought a hatsan .30 air rifle and What Type of scope do you need for a hatsan mod 130s vertex QE. 30 caliber because I bought a scope and it didn't clip so please can anyone answer my question
asked Edy from USAu need a scope with 11 milimeter fittings for the gun fitings as in the clamps holding in to the gun
Nick from USAMy box shows the max velocity at 550fps, it shows it here as 590fps and elsewhere I've seen a different box showing 600fps, I know the fps varies by why is it stated differently? Are they all the same make of the model?
asked Cameron from USANegligible differences. Don't sweat the small stuff.
Cory from USAWhats a good scope to put on this rifle thats stays sighted
asked John from USAAny good scope. Nightforce, Leupold, Nikon, Redfield.
Cory from USAIs this rifle strong enough for deer hunting? I am new to the air gun world and looking for an affordable deer hunting rifle.
asked Frank from USAAbsolutely not.
Cory from USANo where near enough power You'd have to go PCP and a bigger bore like the Air Force brand ones; and it probably wouldn't be legal to in your state anyways. Most states don't allow any air guns for deer. Look up your state or country's hunting laws surrounding air guns.
Jamie from USAno the best pellet gun for deer hunting is the AirForce Texan LSS Moderated Big-bore PCP Air Rifle .50 cal
Jack from USABy all accounts, this is not a deer gun.
Colin from USAIf your state allows big game hunting with air rifles, there will be a minimum fpe requirement. At the stated 34 fpe produced by the Vortex, it's almost certainly illegal to hunt deer with it no matter where you are. To hunt big game where I live an air rifle must produce no less than 215 fpe. You may want to consider shopping for a PCP rifle, which will be more suitable for hunting deer. And remember to aways check with your local Department of Wildlife for hunting regulations. Your state may not allow big game hunting with air rifles.
Rex from USAWill this rifle fire one of the arrows like some of the other's I have seen? I think it takes at least a 30 caliber to do that but not sure about the barrel length.
asked Will from USAAirbolts do not shoot out of break barrel guns. Only PCP airguns have the power and barrel length to shoot airbolts.
Mark from USAHow exactly does the buttpad adjust exactly
asked Derrick from USAThere are different thicknesses of buttpads that can be popped in and out of the stock.
Mark from USAWas wondering if this gun comes with a sling ? If so because mine did not thank you.
asked Michael from USANo
Mark from USAWhat is the maximum range of the rifle
asked Brandon from USAWith accuracy 60 yards. Free flight 200 yards.
Mark from USAWhat is maximum yards the gun will shoot
asked Brandon from USAWith accuracy 60 yards. free flight 200 yards.
Mark from USAWhat makes the FPS specs slightly higher on the mod 130S versus the model 135 with the walnut stock? Thinking that they are the same gun other than the stocks?
asked ScottWhat scope would be compatible?
asked Carlos from USAIs it really getting 40 for more than the 135 .30???
asked Randy JobThis uses .30 caliber bullets as in a bullet you would reload with, or do you need to buy special .30 caliber airgun pellets? Could this be used to down fox or coyotes out to say 50 yards? This doesn't require a scuba tank, but is a cocking barrel type air rifle? Piston?
asked TimHow powerful is this?
asked Alex
Pros
Plenty of punch, for a springer, decent price, well constructed. It's also surprisingly quiet.
Cons
Not very accurate past 50 yards or so. Also it's pretty heavy and might be hard to cock for smaller shooters. Limited ammo options.
