Hatsan 135 QE Vortex Gas Piston .30 Caliber Break Barrel Air Rifle


Hatsan 135 QE Vortex Gas Piston 30 Caliber Break Barrel Air RifleWith Scope
The world's most powerful break barrel air rifle, the Hatsan Model 135 break barrel air rifle is a beast with plenty of knock down power for small and medium sized game out to 50 plus yards.  This exceptional rifle is equipped with the Vortex gas piston, a beautiful Turkish walnut stock, an adjustable Monte Carlo cheekpiece, TruGlo fiber optic sights, Hatsan's highly regarded QuietEnergy rifled barrel, and their equally acclaimed Quattro 2-stage adjustable trigger.  This handsome rifle is the world's first .30 caliber big bore break-barrel! The .30 caliber gun provides 30 ft lbs of energy, and if you have an air gun rated scope, you won't have to worry about it getting beat up because the recoil is much less than other high power magnum powered break barrels. And you won’t have to worry about it chewing up scopes as long as you have a decent air gun rated scope on top. Whichever caliber you choose, the Model 135 is a beautiful rifle loaded with phenomenal features.  Hunters and Doomsday Preppers will appreciate the Hatsan 135 QE Vortex Air Rifle for hunting animals such as turkeys, raccoons, possum, fox, rabbits, squirrels, and birds.


  • Hatsan 135 QE Vortex Air Rifle - Summary
    • Pros
      • World's most powerful break barrel air rifle.
      • Highly accurate.
      • Phenomenal air rifle for medium size game hunting with 30 ft/lbs of muzzle energy.
      • This is not just a short range high power gun.  It still has approx. 23 ft/lbs at 50 yards making it very effective at this long range probably more effective than smaller bore guns. 
      • Beautiful Turkish hardwood stock
      • Nice TruGlo fiber optic open sites if you decide to use without a scope to reduce weight.
      • Leave it cocked all day while you hunt.
    • Cons
      • Heavy
      • Hard to cock (the price to pay for such high power in a break barrel).  Not for smaller, weaker shooters.

Hatsan 135 QE Carnivore Big Bore Breakbarrel Air Rifle - Airgun Review


Sample Amazon & Pyramid Air Feedback

"Beast.  I got the Big bore version in .30 cal. I love it, its powerful, well built and fun to shoot..."

"Its hunting capability exceeds all other break barrel rifles to date. I would recommend this rifle to other serious shooters.  The power and accuracy of the 30 caliber 135 QE Vortex Air Rifle I recently purchased is awesome! Breaking in this beast should increase its superior abilities."

"I own several Hatsan Rifles and have not been disappointed yet. I was one of the first to receive this (March 2016) in .30 cal and I now have about 1500 pellets through it. This rifle is awesome! It hits with such power and conviction! The stock is beautiful and so is the finish.  The most powerful break-barrel rifle bar none! I chrono'd mine and I got an average of 553 fps with the 50.15 gr JSB. that is "34 FPE". I was shooting 1" CTC groups at 25 yards. This is very accurate I can shoot empty 12 gage shotgun shell casing from 25 yards away all day long!! Not to mention it is fun for plinking as well. Putting this much lead down range with a break-barrel airgun is incredible! JSB only makes two .30 cal pellets (50.15 gr and 44.75) and this shoots great with both weights. I set my rifle up with picatinny side rails, split bi-pods and a UTG 3-9x50 RGB Mil-Dot Scope. This gun is really fun! It makes it very difficult to go back to the .177."

"I have the .30 caliber version and it makes big power. I shoot the Predator Polymags at 44.75 gn and also the 50 gn JSB's. Using either pellet It's easy to get .75" groups at 50 yards. Keep in mind that at 50 yards these big pellets are still carrying 23 FPE... more than most smaller caliber offerings carry at the muzzle. The stock is beautiful, metal is nice... Rifle is not hold sensitive and the shot cycle feels like you're shooting a nicely tuned springer. When firing the rifle makes a dull thump sound, most people wouldn't recognize it."

"Accuracy is awesome. Trigger is awesome. Stock is beautiful. Power is awesome. Delivers as advertised!! 1" groups at 50 yards. Best break barrel hunter ever. Takes out armadillos broadside with no problem. Accurate enough for headshots but there's enough power that there is no need."
