Packs an effing wallop for sure. A bore laser to sight in my red (green) dot sight w/red laser pointer makes this accurate to 100yds easily.
Pros
Very powerful and loud. nice pk rail for my red dot sight. It's a self contained shooting platform, no need for a pump or canister. There's plenty of ammo to choose from and I'd be confident it'll take down anything from a deer on down to a turkey or rat. I haven't hunted with it yet but when the need arises I'll be happy to take this into the forest. I also removed the stock to shorten it's over long profile and I like it more for that, I'll include some pics.
Cons
Not much of a con but it's very hard to cock but that's the charm, no PCP to mess with or fail.
Oh, and I could only upload one picture and that sucks!
Air Gun Depot are good people and do everything they say their going to do! And Cameron is a good Dude! No other way to put it!
Pros
Perfect for small game
Cons
Nothing
Pros
I can not say to much about the Pros accept that it looks good and feels well made
Cons
Cons mine shoots low and to the Right no mater what I do Shemed Scoped or iron Sighted it has not been enjoyed.
Pros
Well finally got to shoot this monster. WOW, if you want a break barrel that throws some serious lead this gun is for you! No joke, packs a punch! Nice triger haven't adjusted it yet but good where it's at. It is a little harder to cock than my Gamo whisper but getting better with use. Open sights are a little rough but putting a scope on anyways. No bad things to report yet but will update after more lead goes flying.
Be careful where youre shooting it
Pros
I love this gun has become my favorite out of the 10 I own hard hitter little hard to cock but thats why it hits so hard would recommend this gun
Cons
None
If you want a real thumper for a reasonable price buy it. Be prepared for the effort it takes to cock this thing, but its worth it. Will probably cock extremely hard till its broke in. Make sure you have a firm grip on the barrel and dont slip. Probably delivering 30 pounds or so down range. Rear site was a little loose when I received it but got it tightened and its reliable. Getting ready to install a Bug Buster and I cant wait. Just hope the piston holds up over time. I have not bought a Hatsan in the past because of the apparent issues they have had with pistons, but I just couldnt resist the 30 cal. I will keep it lubed with silicone oil and hope for the best. Cannot stop shooting this thing.
Pros
Real thumping power for a break barrel.
Cons
Nothing really, cocking effort was really hard for the first 50 or so rounds, then it started loosening up.
This is a very powerful airgun. Use caution when shooting this as it could travel a long distance.
Pros
The airgun is heavy and well made.
Cons
none
Walnut stock is amazing!!! Shoot, regularly, at 50 yrds 1-3 inch group... Yeh ... Sometimes I'm On and sometimes I'm Off...Hard Gun to Shoot... But Awesome... I have three Hatsan Air Rifles; all are performer's. I use JSB ammo.
Pros
Very Accurate if you know spring /gas piston air guns... If you are used to shooting PCP and Rimfire you are not qualified to leave comments??? I have had mine since 2018 and love it ( I have the walnut stock )... Hits like a hammer... Have not mastered the trigger adjustments though... You have to be trained in shooting guns with resonance, not recoil, to master this gun...
Cons
I don't like the complicated trigger adjustments...
Pros
Very accurate and fun to shoot.
Cons
Linkage broke after appx 90 shots, to much power in piston for the weak parts used, to bad, i really liked the rifle while it functioned. Another thing was the iron sights seemed to be very slightly off on the barrel, not enough to bother me.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.hi I wondering whats the difference between this and the 135 and what one I should get. Also I want this for medium sized game like coyotes and foxs. I believe it will with diesels pellets it should go around 800 fps with 45 grain pellets which is around 63 foot pounds anyone got opinions on that?
asked Sebastian from USACan it blow through a 2x4 ?
asked Vincent from USAwill this .30 kill roosters? roosters just laugh when hit with my .22 even though it has over 1000 fps. Roosters are tough. I've killed more pigs with my .22 than roosters. their feathers are chain-mail!
asked John from USAI have tried several types of ammo from pellets to slugs. This gun is accurate to around 35 to 40 yards before it falls of. Slugs do not work, not enough power. Stick with pellets. If you want accuracy and storing power get a pcp like a Benjamin Bulldog which I own as well. This will do everything you want. So in closing it's good for close range with pellets and does pack a punch up to 35 yards. Hope this helps.
Craig from USAyes, i have shot many with this gun in .30 cal!
Jack from USAhow long can this airgun stay cocked
asked Dominic from USAa few hours, id only leave mine about 15 minutes or so!
Jack from USAdb? noise / sound level?
asked ivan from USACan the Hatsan Vortex 130 shoot pellets with grains of 134 grains be Ok to shoot?
asked Leslie from USANo not in a break barrel. I use hatsan or equivalent around 48 grains if you want any kind of accuracy.
Craig from USAI just bought this gun can it kill a turkey sized bird
asked Wallace from USAyes it can!
Jack from USACan this air rifle safely shoot slugs?
asked Rex from USATo heavy & to much barrel drag contacting the rifling. Pellets have a smaller area engaging the rifling
James 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 USAI noticed inside of the hatsan 130 & 135 there is a PCP style port near the rear of the compression tube.. over the trigger assembly that a PCP fill probe goes into that allowed me to pump up the gas ram to 200BAR! the FPS went from the factory 550fps to .. now the 44.75 grain pellets fly at a constant 610fps... Almost 37fpe! On PA's calculator.. but the cocking effort is definitely increased... Not for the weak.. It's now worth taking out hunting medium sized game out to 75yards.
James 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
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 USAIt depends on how much psi (bar) the ram is pumped up to. I used a PCP fill probe to bring my 135 & 130 up to 200bar.. shooting 44.75g at 610fps.. right at 37fpe.
James 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 USAif you can get close enough, n use the 135 vortex QE,it has the wood stock
david from USAThis rifle with the "gas ram" pumped up to 200 bar.. using the 44.75g pellets can take ANY small & medium sized game within 50 yards (instantly) with a head shot! No guesswork, actual facts!
James 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 Jobyeah
Jack from USAThis 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 Alex34 FPE and 590 FPS
Jack from USA
Update to my March 1st 2024 review. Looks like I got a good one. Know what youre buying and have Depot do 10 for 10 at least. Im using a UTG hunter 3-9x40 with Accushot high pic rings. Best to use the pic rail on this one. Cleaned barrel with Balistol thoroughly before 1st shot and clean barrel every 200 rounds or so. Used moly paste on all metal to metal pivot points etc.. Drop of silicone oil in cylinder every 200 rounds. Do not store this stock down. I store mine horizontally as the Hatsan gas rams have a rep for giving up. Have close to 1000 rounds now and it hasnt missed a beat. Not as hold sensitive as my lighter break barrels and very accurate. Quieter than my Gamo Magnum GR. Really likes Polymags and JTS domes. Bluing and machining arent the greatest, its not a pretty rifle, but its a performer. 100 $ less than the 135. Just make sure you get a good one in the beginning and if you can handle the weight and the cocking force youll be happy.
Pros
Reliable thumper
Cons
None
