Hatsan 130QE let's shoot
- Thread starter Septicdeath
- Start date
Septicdeath thanks for the video, also I noticed a young fella in the bottom right hand corner. Was he practicing his pitching or throwing. I used to play shortstop when I was younger. Really enjoyed that position.

Yes my youngest son plays for ESA Tigers 19U college prep. 2nd and pitches. They haven't had a season this year but he practices everyday. I played RF and pitched.

Alot! I have one in .25 cal. I recommend it over the .30 cal because the trajectory is much flatter. There's also more pellets to choose from. I usually shoot lead-free GTOs in mine. The furthest I've had opportunity to target shoot with it has been 50y and I was easily hitting a 2inch spinner. Just for giggles and curiousity, I shot a rock that was 4 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick at that range. The rock shattered and that was with a GTO pellet. Definitely mega down range fpe! At least for a springer anyway.

I own the 135 and the 130QE .30 they both have been tuned and the ram set to 170bar 150 is factory. they constantly shoot at 50 or less yards with a flat trajectory. I have taken several coyotes and marmot etc with open sights my 130 or using a SeeAll on my 135. using a 46.3 grain H&N pellet with averages at around 575fps creates 34.4 at the muzzle. crono at 40 yards was still 550's the heavier pellet slows less after distance. I haven't shot them much at any long distance over 50yrd but will do this soon, been curious about there distance potential.
Before doing the tunes the stock rifles averaged 540fps or so.
My go to guns for hunting and very fun to shoot at targets with however the cocking effort limits your target practice. they are heavy over 10lbs my only complaints. A awesome set of guns every break barrel enthusiast should have at least one in there collection.

I had bad luck with Hatsan, but I sure love their style and some of their ideas. I think the company could be absolutely killer if tbsy used more metal like HW. I always enjoy your posts about them though, and I love seeing a loyal fan base for them. +1 for the content. Thanks bud

Most are good some a little ruff around the edges. They are one of the more complicated guns to work on but with the proper attention given they can compete with European guns.
Any Hatsan 2016 or prior had problems sometimes. But since then there quality has stepped up. Very good guns for your $$$

Hatsan is not a boutique brand. They are a high volume airgun producer (imo anyway). And any time you go for quantity, quality will suffer. That's just the nature of it. With quantity though, you get lower prices. My .25 cal 135 was a refurb from HatsanUSA and it didn't work straight out of the box. It had multiple issues that made it not cock at all and buggered the safety. They were all easy fixes though and now the gun is a very reliable, accurate, powerful shooter.
If you notice, I'm saying 135 and 130. I originally got a .30 cal 130 then got a .25 cal 135. Then I switched the stocks. So, now I'm not sure what to call them. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.
