Page 4 of 20 - Hatsan 135 QE Vortex Reviews

It's beautiful. It's a hammer! Overall a decent build.

Have the .30 cal in stock more often. Settled for the .25 cal instead.

It requires strength to cock it. I'm a big guys, I've got some decent upper body strength and shot many rounds through it without issue. My 13 year old though, different story. Understand that you'll get a workout cocking this rifle.

Beautiful rife. Wonderful wood stock and has great accuracy and hits like a hammer. Got the .25 cal and love it . Great gas piston break barrel with lots of power.

Nothing for my first airrifle it's a charm

I own a 177 and 25 of this model. I absolutely love these airguns! Both are powerhouses. In 177 with standard Crosman 7.9gr hollowpoints I am getting around 27fpe. Plenty to take all small game up to racoon and groundhog. In 25 my 135 is getting 32-33fpe using H&N Grizzly 31gr rounds. It shoots the grizzlies under 1 inch at 40 yards. In my honest opinion I think you could take a coyote within 30 yards.

Nothing

The 135 guns are heavy. So not ideal for a kid.

things I like is the quality of the rifle and power/accuracy

I wouldn't change anything to this model But I would add maybe a multi shot magazine like the Gamo swarm gen 2

Its a man's rifle

This Rifle Has some SERIOUS POWER .30 CAL Very Nice

I Like The Whole Package

Englihs, not my main language. Buen peso y balance, Precion del gatillo es exelente. Culata confortable al montarla, bonita y exelente terminacion. Tremendo precio para un rifle de esta calidad.

Good looking Well put together gun

Adding a cocking aid for the barrel if you are going to shoot a lot

Should have a little more power for the amount of cocking effort required in my eyes.

Power, Power, Power. This think packs a wallop in .30 caliber.

The iron sights are almost useless. The appear to be so misaligned that I could not get it properly sighted without maximum windage adjustment and even then it was still not acceptable. This was remedied by installation of a decent but inexpensive red dot (tube) sight, which then allows you to properly sight. The accuracy is now more than acceptable. I've seen reports of misaligned sights and even the rail, so these apparently have merit. Hopefully Hatsan can eventually correct this issue, which is probably in their production machinery.

Be sure you know what's behind your target, and use a sturdy enough stop. The power is truly amazing for a break barrel air gun.

Be prepared to get a workout during a shooting session, the effort to "cock" the gun is substantial.

Overall, this gun deserves a spot in any airgun collection, especially for the price.

Overall it's a very nice air gun. The wood is a lot nicer than expected. out of the box 25 yards it's accurate with minor adjustment. It is astonishingly quiet! It is powerful driving a .22 1/3 of the way through a pine 2x4. It does take some strength to cock it. I don't think my wife could do it. I did adjust the trigger pull and I was pleased with the results.

Nothing at this time

Nice wood stock Powerful Build quality seems good at first glance Heavy

I have now gone through 2 of these units after the first got replaced because of the piston suddenly releasing while cocking the gun and forcing the barrel to fling back and bend. That was only after about 500 rounds through the first gun and now exact thing happened on second gun after about 100 rounds.
Prior to this, the gun will not fire in groups. I've tried numerous different pellets to no avail.
This time my gun is out of warranty and I have a nice heavy paperweight. Not happy.
Will never buy another of these.
