Page 3 - Hatsan Model 135 Reviews

Very powerful and accurate. Good built quality. Very nice quattro trigger. Love the wood stock. Well worth it for the price. Not overprice like the RWS german air rifles and shoots harder and faster. Shoots 14.66gr at 960 fps(crazy)

Wish it was lighter and smaller. Needs sling mounts. I made my own but it needs sling mounts seriously.

This is a magnum rifle for big boys. Hard to cock and big kick also quite heavy compare to my Gamo igt. For accuracy use 16-18gr pellets. There's nothing like it when it comes to power and velocity. Hits so hard. 80-100 yard targets are easy. This thing shoots through .5 inch hard ply woods when my Benjamin NP .22 barely even put the pellet all the way in. If you want magnum power there is no other break barrel in this class.

The craftmanship as far as I can tell is top notch. It is more accurate than I am a shooter. I chronographed 14.66 grain pellets at close to 1000fps. Feels very solid and very nice stock. Good trigger.

I am not sure what I would change, but it is heavy.

This rifle is a beast in the best sense possible. If you take your time and hold the rifle correctly it is very accurate and has a great deal of power. Though it is heavy and takes some strength to cock. My 15 son at 130 pounds can safely use this rifle. Does not kick as hard as I thought it would.

The Weight The balance The feeling I got a good arm work out while enjoy ever shot I make with it. The combination of Accuracy and Insane power this spring gun. My Hatsan 135 is 22 cal. It is a supper high pellet gun possible the highest of all brake barrels is amazing to say the least. Squirrels on branches are launched into the air with direct hits.

A warning that over use might give you great arms.

Use great caution shooting this gun. The power of it can stop a person if hit with in 150 yards dead in its tracks. Do not let your child play on his own with it. This is a true mans gun.

It's very well made and it is a nice looking rifle. That's about it

.25 caliber This gun has an abnormally long stock. I have no idea where the measurements came from. Quattro trigger is awful. Probably a 10 pound pull even after lots of adjustment. I did a quick polish and lube and it is somewhat acceptable, I guess. After 400 rounds that where all over the place(5" groups@ 10yds)I finally tore it apart to give it a quick lube tune. It was surely smoother shooting and easier to cock but had no better groups. I cleaned the barrel periodically and tried 4 different ammo types. All garbage. I see nothing wrong with any of the internals or barrel. I think this design is just a piece of crap. I understand it is a high powered spinger but this thing is deplorable for accuracy. I had big hopes for this thing and it turned out to be a bone. I have several high power springers and I have plenty of shooting expirience. I would get pissed thinking I was shooting bad and then grab the 100 dollar Optimus and drill perfect groups seconds later. Trust me after 700 shots, it's not my shooting

My experience with the .25 was fairly awful and this thing just sits in the gun case now. However I don't know if mine was just a pile of rubble or the design is bad. I do KNOW that the build quality was very nice though. I also don't know if other calibers shoot better. I guess I am just saying buy at your own risk. I would hate to have anyone else need to buy a second gun to do the job like I did and end up with an expensive display piece/loud noise maker.

Powerful and relatively quiet. Comfortable stock and nice sights. This gun is robust and heavy duty.

I ordered one of these for Christmas and the one I got had missing rifling and a deformed muzzle all in the last couple inches of the barrel. It was wildly inaccurate. Pyramyd took it back and sent another one, however upon first inspection I looked down the muzzle and saw this one also had some missing rifling and bare spots in the last couple inches of the barrel. This one shoots ok but there must be some manufacturing process that causes this defect. It seems too much of a coincidence that I got 2 bad rifles in a row. I am curious to see if anyone else has this gun in 25 cal and has the same issue or if I just have really bad luck.

Pyramyd has great customer service.

The Hatsan 135 cal. Rifle 25 is a very powerful and has good accuracy, it is indispensable that use telescopic sight, either a 4 x 32 or 3 to 9 x 40, and a good mounting is stable because rifle power tends to move much the telescopic sight Buy a Gamo Hunter pellets name Cal 25 with a weight of 21.6 grams., And surprised me with the speed, power and Accuracy over 40 yds. plus a penetration of about 1 inch to 35 yds.

the price seems fair, I would like this rifle could have even more power to 850 fps with JSB 25.4 King Cal 25 gr. would be great.

I would like to shoot with the JSB 25.4 King Cal 25 gr., with Skenco Ultrashock, .25 Cal, 23.50 Grains, Hollowpoint, and the Gamo Pro Magnum .25 Cal, 21.91 Grains, Domed, to my way of seeing the Hatsan 135 cal. 25 is very good in possession and Accuracy, must have a cocking effort around 47-49 lbs. and that makes it very powerful, but should just lower dipararlo with 25.4 gr pellets., for hunting small or medium would make excellent shots from 10 yds. at 45 yds. maximum.

The Hatsan 135 cal. Rifle 25 is a very powerful and has good accuracy, it is indispensable that use telescopic sight, either a 4 x 32 or 3 to 9 x 40, and a good mounting is stable because rifle power tends to move much the telescopic sight I fired pellets with the following: 1. - H & N Field Target Trophy .25 Cal, 20.06 Grains, Domed, (on the box reads of 19.91 gr.), Is fast and very accurate, has insight, but not much power on contact to over 30 yds. 2. - H & N Hollowpoint .25 Cal, 26.23 Grains, Hollowpoint, this should have more power than the True Target Trophy, but it was so also it is very vague, has very little penetration, and not recommended for more than 20 yds. 3. - Gamo Rocket .25 Cal, 20.8 Grains, Ballistic Tip, this is better in accuracy and power at 35 yds. that the H & N Hollowpoint .25 Cal, 26.23 Grains, Hollowpoint, and just as fast as the H & N Field Target Trophy .25 Cal, 20.06 Grains, Domed, but I felt a little more power on contact and penetration than the Target Trophy 4. - Here in Mexico, buy a Gamo Hunter pellets name Cal 25 with a weight of 21.6 grams., And surprised me with the speed, power and Accuracy over 40 yds. plus a penetration of about 1 inch to 35 yds.

if better to have more power could be wonderful, it has a cocking effort of 60 lbs, and reach a muzzle velocity of 850 fts with 25.4 gr JSB King. would be great ...!

nice looking , powerful gun. nice sights, quality wood stock. not too loud .

The first gun i sent back had a badly deformed muzzle. the replacement gun also had a spot of missing rifling about a half inch down the bore of the muzzle. It must be a manufacturing process that ruins the rifling just under the front sight. This one shoots ok so i will keep it but its too bad these guns are flawed in this way because the rifling down the entire bore is perfect except the very end , right before the pellet leaves the barrel which is really the most important part of the barrel. If you get one of these use a light at the breech end or a bore scope and look down the muzzle carefully.. curious to know if anyone elses gun has the same problem or is it a crazy coincidence that i got 2 bad ones in a row. its a shame because the barrel could be perfect but if its messed up at the end when pellet exits the barrel it makes it unstable and inaccurate .

If you find it hard to cock , put the butt of the gun on the top of your foot and lean forward putting your weight into the effort. this will help while sighting in breaking in.

This Air rifle Hatsan 135 in 22 cal, is well made! no lose barrel or parts, every thing is tight fitting.It has a well finished oak real wood stock with good checkering for grip & rubber recoil pad. The rifled steel barrel is blued nice with no rough edges.The weight to the air rifle is 9.2 lbs on the heavy side,but well suited for this heavy hitting 22 cal break barrel spring air rifle.The trigger is adjustable but I left mine as is out of the box , was fine for me.I like the accuracy that this rifle delivers ,especially for such a huge amount of power that it has .The spring has no twang after shot is left off.The rifle has nice sights that come with it but I opted to install a scope a, Leapers 3-12x44 AO SWAT Accushot Rifle Scope with EZ-TAP and Illuminated Mil-Dot Reticle, 1/4 MOA, 30mm Tube,with see through weaver rings. I mounted this to a, UTG Drooper Scope Rail, 11mm-to-Weaver Adapter,which compensates for Droop & Stops Scope Shift.It was attached to the rifle that already comes with a 11mm Weaver optics rail with scope stop.It was needed because I shoot 10 meter targets some times and I was maxing out on my horizontal elevation adjustment on the scope. This rifle is shoot right out of the box! with out scope,great price & fantastic quality!

I would like that Hatsan to really consider to have swivels included on the rifle especially if this rifle is going to be carried in the field for hunting.All else is fine for me .

This Air rifle Hatsan 135 in 22 cal is a heavy hitting and very powerful air rifle .It dose take good strength to break the barrel to load .The rifle is heavy and I knew when I read the specs before purchasing, but my OPINION is that this air spring rifle needs the weight for the stability when shooting. It dose diesel for a while when breaking in but stopped after around 100 shoots of H&N Field Target Trophy .22 Cal, 14.66 Grains, Round Nose, dieseling stopped. I cleaned the barrel and shoot 10 shots with a few fliers but then I was hitting bulls eye at 10 meters (33)feet with quarter size groups .If you are going to use this rifle in the back yard remember this is a VERY POWERFUL AIR RIFLE !PLEASE KNOW YOUR BACK STOP that it is safe. Rifle sounds like an air gun and when shooting into a metal pellet trap tends to be loud hitting the metal trap, you will have to line the trap with duct sealant.

the walnut stock

nothing

this thing is a nail driver ,,i have a utg 5 gen. scope on it 4x16 44AOMM ,,AND EVERYONE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER HAS SHOT A SQUIRREL AND IT JUMPS AROUND AND SHAKES AND DIES ,, NOT WITH THIS GUN ,, AT 30 YARDS I CAN PUT A SHOT IN ITS EYE WITH THIS GUN AND SCOPE WITH A POLYMAG ,, NO JUMPING OR SHAKING ,,JUST FELL DIRECTLY OVER VERY HUMANE WAY TO DISPOSE OF PESTS ,, I RECOMMEND THE 25 CAL ,, AWESOME KNOCK DOWN POWER ,,GREAT RIFLE FOR THE PRICE ,, AND THE TRIGGER ,,AWESOME ,,HATSAN HAS ONE OF THE BEST TRIGGERS OUT THERE ,,,

Rich Walnut Stock. Good fit and finish. Nice deep bluing. Shoots hard out of the box, although a little twangy. Should settle down after break-in. Love the pull length and feel in my hands.

Scope rail could be a little larger for more flexibility in scope size and mounting options.

Requires a soft hold for accuracy. Packs a real punch. If you are an airgun hunter, the Mod 135 in .25 cal is a great choice!

Beautiful Craftsmanship. Solid quailty build. Trigger great right from the box. A real monte Carlo stock not a phony ambidexterious hump. The Drop at comb and length of pull for me is perfect. Weight is hefty but good considering you are really getting 1000fps in a .22 not a claim that it does not do or only does with super light alloy pelletts.

Make a nitro piston available as an option.

I coupled this gun with a 3x12x44 BSA scope my third shot was dead on target and now keeps making ragged holes in the middle of the target. Recoil is substaintial but not painfull due to the SAS and terffic recoil pad. Cocking force is heavy but understandable considering the power. Don't back your targets with wood it will blow right though it. Accuracy out of the box is 10 Stars can not wait for it to break in. Use their scope stop and a one piece mount with blue loctite. Buy one it is one beautiful and impressive gun.

the gun is a beast! what i like about hatsan is when they test there guns they test the fps with lead ,, not alloy that is so light you can not even hit anything with it

i would offer it with a nitro piston,,,

this gun is accurate,,, and the knock down power is great ,, and the fps is exactly what hatsan says it is ,,if you put the right scope on here any small to medium game with a shot placed to the head will humanely eliminate pests,,, i put a leapers 5th gen. 4-14x40 ao,,,and at 35yards i can almost put pellets through the same hole,, great gun for the money,,the picture of it does not do it justice

What a "Quality" rifle!!! I think for the price of the gun it is well worth it! I have a few top pellet rifles but this one just went to second place and maybe first soon?? Might just take some getting used to it and break in. The Quatro Trigger is really nice addition on the rifle. I also "REALLY" like this gun with the .25 caliber. It will stop almost anything in its tracks so i have found out.

The first thing i miss is the "NITRO-PISTON!" It should be an option with this rifle. Almost every pellet gun i have has one or one has been installed! The Hatsan 125's have them so i hope soon they can be installed in the 135 series! Other than that just a bit of weight shaved off might be nice.

This is a pretty heavy gun so be prepared for that. If you are going to carry it around hunting be sure you have a shoulder strap for it! I put a 3-12x 44 Accushot Swat Scope/UTG on it and that was the ticket for this rifle! I expect to have this rifle around for a long time.

Everything, the weight, the craftsmanship, the trigger, th sights, the shock absorber system and scope mount...

Nothing...

It makes the ballistic crack even with lead ammunition, sounds like a standard .22 lr, the safety is like the daisy winchester air rifles and is also made in Turkey, the checkering is awesome, instead of tow screws in the font is just only one, is somewhat hard to cock, well its a springer, exellent for small game hunting at 50 yards and more!!!!

The fit and finish are great on this gun. The stock has beautiful figuring and checkering. It is a really pretty rifle to look at. The thing is a beast. It is heavy, hard to cock, and jumps at you when fired. I like all those things because it hits what you aim at and hits it hard. I ditched the sights and put on a 4-12x40 scope so I could see what I am shooting at. Mounting the scope was cake and with the 30 yard accuracy of this thing, sighting was a breeze. The recoil pad makes the shooting comfortable and the weight is no trouble for me.

The adjustments on the trigger didn't do much for pull weight and travel. It is a reasonable trigger, but only having one other magnum to compare it to, I can only say that it is fairly crisp and consistent. I would like to lower the pull weight more than it seems to be able to go.

This is not a kids gun. It takes a lot of strength to cock. You are going to need much more than 3/4" plywood as a back stop as this just blows through it at 20 yards. Best pellets are the polymag, Kodiak match, and H&N field target trophy so far. all group about the same size even with the variation in weight. This is a great gun for the price and a really good one at any price. If you like the feel and look of wood and unmatched power in a springer, this is for you, as long as you are willing to sweat a little cocking and carrying it.

Very powerful=it takes two hands to cock it. Nice walnut stock.

The trigger could be lightened to 4 pounds.

Don't press it into your shoulder. Don't grip it tight with your trigger hand. Hold it loose with your aiming arm back a little closer to trigger guard. Keep a good sight picture during the shot, and after.

Great gun. More time has be put in the making of this gun. Cadalic of the Hatsan.

Shorter barrel

This gun is a beast. Recoil and a hard gun to cock. The gun is rather large in the frame. It has the drop down butt. Eye relief might require an offset mount for a scope and that depends on you size.

The power is great and seems a little stronger than my Turkish Webley Patriot. The stock is nice with checkering on the grip and forend.

The trigger should be lightened to 3 or 4 pounds,like a RWS.

.25 hits hardest.

I like the stock on mine, was lucky to get one with rich contrasting walnut stock. / bought two 135 a /.22 and .25 sent them both back, both had very bad piston seals fps drooped to 500 on both rifles and one had a breech port to tight could not install pellets properly

the rifle is to big! the receiver being the biggest did not add to fps, but did make the shot cycle a lot smoother compared to the 125 snipers shot cycle. hatsan should discontinue the model its ridicules! butt of the stock drops down to low as well/ when you scope it, you will notice it.

the 135 at first is over whelming, and you say wow look at this big bad boy, but quickly you realize its no more powerful then a sniper and it feels to big cause it is big! and quickly looses its appeal after all shooting a rifle is supposed to be fun not a chore.
