I have the Hatsan 135QE in .25 caliber. Over 850 fps with 25 grain pellets. Not another spring rifle as powerful. No way would I use it on Ground Hog. 22 rimfire at 40 yards can be a stretch. They are incredibly tough critters. I used a 22 Hornet for years on them. Had to rid a horse coral...

After further research it appears this rifle was supposed to be released last fall. Does anyone have any newer information about it or is it a dead end?

Seems to be the case.

An interesting new model that JTS showed at the shot show is a barrel cocking “Target” rifle. Super 9X. Match barrel and match trigger. Target sights. Internals are said to be of the highest quality. The picatinny rail is removable to expose the dovetail. Could handle a Diopter sight then. $140...

The specifications for the Stonewolf are not listed on the JTS website. Does anyone know the weight? Under levers are typically quite heavy. An interesting new model that JTS showed at the shot show is a barrel cocking “Target” rifle. Super 9X. Match barrel and trigger. Target sights. Internals...

Gas rams do create an instant snap that springs do not. This may be more detrimental to scopes. However, some gas rams are adjustable. So in this case total control is there to tone the shot cycle down.

Hatsans have a unique “SAS” system. Shock Absorber System. It is very effective. The entire receiver system moves forward upon piston impact. I have had a inexpensive “Sniper” brand scope on two 135’s and several 95’s. All have held up .

Excluding the HW30/R7 in 177 caliber, the HW95/R9 in .20 caliber was out-of-box most accurate Weihrauch I have ever had. I think the weight/velocity ratio of those two guns are the sweet spot in the Weihrauch lineup. Only one ever better was the HW55. Long discontinued. By starting on the R9 in...

$15 or $20 won’t do it. The 760 cost $19.95 in 1968. And made in America. Not China.

Definitely look for an older one. Fixer upper if you have the time. Top one I bought “1968” for $49. Bottom one “fixer upper” costed me a whopping $15. If you decide to redo one, take your daughter along for the ride.

Yes. The front side of the trigger needs to be filed down as per the picture. All the way to the extended flat. Borrowed picture.

Jeff, your gun is a 753. Your gun has the MC (wood) stock, larger removable front sight and deluxe Diopter. That’s the three differences between the 753 and 853. And an adjustable butt pad that I can’t get anymore. Lol

Jeff, did you install the sear adjustment screw? Also, Daisy doesn’t run these that often. The box says that they are assembled here in the U.S from German and China parts. We know the German part. The barrel. Everything else is from China. This may make them get even harder to acquire. I’m...

Got in my new 753S. Did the trigger modification and lube. Kept this one with the Diopter. Unbelievable accuracy at 40 yards. This one loves the RWS Hobby 7.0 grain pellets also. Shoots them at 525 fps. Love shooting with the target sights. Not crazy about synthetic stocks (packed the cavity...
