Page 4 - Hatsan MOD 130S Reviews

This thing is a beast. slammed a dent in a small propane tank and knocked it back 10 feet past the target stand. this is a serious 30 cal air rifle. shot was taken at about 25 yards with diablo pellets

Its a bit heavy but I'll deal with it

I took the stock off to put a nice camo job on it. the front screw w/ sling mount, hex head stripped really easy when trying to tighten it back .

Hits like a sledgehammer. I'm not a hunter but I'm sure this would take medium game with no issues. Also reasonably quiet to me.

It is very hard to cock. It has to be in order to save enough power to launch 50 grain pellets. So make sure you're ready for that. Also no lead free pellets available yet.

Great rifle shoots pretty good right out of the box . I think with more shots put through it.T he groups will even get tighter.

The speed of the rifle could increase just a little bit like 50 to 100 ft sec ,and you would have hands down winner.

It takes a little effort to cock ,definitely not for young or weaker shooters.

.30cal Accurate what a BEAST LOVE IT.

Can't think of any.

TRY IT YOU'LL LIKE IT.

Useful synthetic stock, amazing accuracy, port for increasing ram pressure, Quattro trigger, being able to put some serious smack down.

More aggressive checkering on stock, that's about it.

I was skeptical, but after watching numerous reviews on this and the 135, I "pulled the trigger". Boy am I happy I did! Remember, this is not a pcp, if you want to chuck .30 cal cast solids at long distance, this is not the gun for you. BUT, if you understand its limitations, then you have an amazing hunting platform. I found with out having time for a break in, I'm already getting .5 inch groups at 25yds if I do my part. Head shot city folks. I believe I'd have no problem taking appropriate game out to 80 yds. The pellet retains quite abit of velocity and has dropped a Little over 1.75 inches, With a 30 yd zero. Now, I'm a big guy. 6'5" and I can cock it with one arm, but it's a workout. Not for kiddies'. On another note, this thing is heavy, 9.5+ lbs heavy, get a sling. To finalize, this is my 6hr playtime assessment and already, it's my new favorite. Plenty of whack for small game of any kind, upgradeable power, and a fantastic Quattro trigger to boot! Thanks P. A.!

Hard hitting and accurate out of the box. Safety is a little flimsy and cheesy but for the price point I didn't expect perfection. Trigger is pretty good for a break barrel. Overall the gun is solid and I'm very pleased with it.

Not much I would change. The gun is heavy and hard to cock, so keep that in mind if you have any limitations.

Overall this is a well made product, the only thing i had to fix was the rear sight screw was too long to hold the sight tight. Wonderful grouping out of the box! Not even 200 rounds and it stacks the polymags! It took me by surprise and had to triple check as i thought i was off.

The price of the pellets( not the rifles fault) fix the sight screw and a lower profile front sight, see though rings would be perfect on this set up but haven't found any where you can see over the sights. Due to the high profile.

This is a beast!!! It has made my other break barrels feel like toys! It packs plenty of whallup but there is a lag, its like shooting a traditional bow in that sense. The polymags have preformed marvelously in mine.

This gun is still a cannon

more ammo choices

Buy this gun

1. Power 2. Sights 3. Price

1. reduce cocking effort

Love the destructive force of the 30 cal pellets. Without going PCP, I dont think I could have so much fun tearing s*** up. My back yard is only 30 yds, so don't need added weight of a scope on this already-heavy gun if sights are good and I think they are, even for my old eyes. But Do need to learn how to hold w/o bruising my cheek from the recoil.

powerful, this can drop a human with a head shot, i put a 89 dollar pinty scope on it..dead on after sighting it in..no scope shifting at all

ammo selection is weak, but you can make your own if your smart enough

make your self a good backstop, it goes thru 1 inch pine like butter, thick plywood works good to stop ..a few layers

Big powerful air rifle. Accuracy is pretty good. Part of that may be due to rubbery arms and random spastic muscle twitches from cocking the gun, if youre arms arent to putting out 50lbs of force regularly. Not very loud, though u can definitely feel the power when u fire. I havent messed with the trigger yet actually, been good so far though I imagine Ill mess with that later on. What else...the dual rail is nice (11/20mm). Other than that, its devastating up to 20-30yds

Well, theres not much of a selection for .30cal pellets, though thats not the fault of the gun (also Id fix Pyramids website so apostrophes arent vetoed as a foreign language. Thats a new one). What else...there appears to be some sloppiness at the Hatsan factory. For example I did receive the sling, was pictured I thought, says Hatsan in big yellow letters. Also I did receive stock spacers but for a different gun. Odd since it came sealed in the manufacturers box and everything. Also, its worth repeating that this sucker is BIG. Im 6ft 240# so not petite but Im still trying to find a good balance point for my off hand. The spot my and naturally gravitates to leaves a bit too much weight forward so I have to move support and out farther. Firing a break barrel prone can get annoying. Been composing with the super scientific knife-stuck-in-tree method for sighting in. Also the safety does feel ridiculously cheap. Functions fine but lots of play, plastic, couldve been done better.

The iron sights are great. Its a big ol bazooka of an air gun so looks good with a scope but the range aint so hot so most scopes will be overkill. I believe I saw someone asking if there was a big drop off and not getting an answer. Imho if youre just target shooting then <55yds is okay. At that range the pellets 20fpe @420fps. If youre wanting to stop critter clocks then more like 30yds (27fpe @493fps). Biggest issue is drop. At 30yds its already 5in. At 55yds youre going to be compensating for a 19in drop. Soooo.. good luck with that. It takes a particular place in the collection. Its heavy so not gonna bring it along for kicks. Short range but too much for backyard plinking (first shot blasted straight thru a one inch cheap Home Despot board and sent one of the 3 chunks it split into spinning over my neighbors fence. That was fun. So finding the right application is tricky: for the range it operates in, a crossbow does same job better/quieter. Cocking still sucks so maybe a bow.

Lots of power

Loose some of the weight

If you are old like me don't buy it. It's to heavy for me and is very hard to cock.

Power

Didn't come with sling

Hits like a hammer. Went through both sides of rubber maid garbage can.

Needs to come with a gym membership

Not for the very young or old.

Everything

Nothing

It's huge, heavy, hard to cock, it's sort of like holding a 5 foot log that kicks like a mule. I have a wall full of springers with insane stats. This is the one I grab when I need to put something down with one shot. If you want an 'airgun' than is just simply bad*ss, this is the one you want.

Power, accuracy, sights, trigger, quietness, appearance, stock, and easy cocking. Hatsan understands that one of the keys to accuracy with a break-barrel is to reduce the internal ballistic interval with a shorter rifled barrel and longer free-bore suppressed area for cocking leverage. Too short and you lose power and speed; too long and you lose accuracy. Hatsan does it just right!

Even though many would regard this as a beast, I think it would be better if made even more powerful!

I mounted a Swedish Carl Gustov (anti-tank gun) military surplus optical sight which has etched in cross-hairs and no adjustments. I zeroed the base with a small file. It holds zero VERY well. I use see-thru mounts so that I can continue to use the very good sights. The rear sight is tight without any play. The suppressor works great. The trigger is very nice and I have not had to adjust it. I zeroed it with the polymer tipped pellets but felt the need for better penetration even tho they were accurate enough to pop a 1.5" target at 30 yards. I pulled the polymer from some pellets and epoxied on a steel BB. The result a was an accurate pellet with better penetration. I am tempted to get another of these rifles but am holding back in the hopes that they'll make an even more powerful break-barrel.

Power Accuracy Everything

Nothing

I have had this gun for 6 months or so now and I could not be happier. The gun is very powerful, it goes through squirrels out to 35 yards. If I use the JSB 44.75 gr. they go through and through with little on no expansion, I dig them out of my fence with fur on them. With the predator polymag it makes a neat hole on entry and a golf ball sized hole on exit, so they are dumping more energy. A nice hollow point would be nice but the current pellet selection is adequate enough to put in work.

GREAT GUN.....QUALITY A1..I OWN BOTH NOW

BUTT PAD LIKE THE WOODEN STOCK ONE, DONT LIKE BUTT INSERTS....SCREWS TEND TO STRIP UOT BE CAREFUL TRYING TO GET IT OFF.
