Hatsan Mod 135

[R0G3R 11]

Hi,

 

I am new on this forum and this is my first post. I have a question. I have bought myself the Hatsan Mod 135 and i will be getting it tomorrow. I bought it because it was well priced and advertised at 1200 fps.

My question: Is it a good rifle for pest control? (Mice, birds, rats)

 

Thanks,

Roger!

Thats a good 45 ft lbs in .22 using average 16 grain pellets so it will tear apart what you have listed and take into account in britain the limit 12 ft lbs.

good work mate if it is what it says and the limit in south africa is ok you have an awesome rifle with a staggering power. the animals you state wont have a chance!

Hi guys,

 

thanks for the replies. In South Africa they limit us to caliber and not power. We can buy .177 (4.5) & .20 (5.0) without a license. But from .22 (5.5) and bigger you require a license and you WILL get into alot of trouble if you are caught with one of these without a license.

 

This Hatsan Mod 135 is .177 (4.5) at 1200 fps. Im looking at doing some pest control and a little hunting. As I said rats, mice, birds, rabbits, etc. Anything I can kill with a single shot. I dont want to do any in-humane hunting.

 

Thanks,

Roger!

Using a 7 grain pellet that works out at about 25ish ft/lbs

 

I seem to remember the Gamo hunter being advertised in .177 at producing the same velocity with the Gamo PBA pellets

 

They demonstrated how effective they were by shooting Wild Boar and BobCats in the noggin with instant kills

 

Wonder how well they would perform in a Sub 12

That's sub sonic so I don't know what the groups will look like. Powers nothing without accuracy remember

So I got the rifle yesterday. I didnt set in the scope, left it as it. Didnt have time. Took it out and shot a pigeon at 20m on a telephone line. I shot him in the back (sounds bad ) but he dropped down immediately. Unfortunately into the neighbours yard .

 

I will take the gun to the field this weekend and set it in properly. Its bulky and heavy, but then again, so am I

Mean... I think the Brazil (my country) is bad to carry a air rifle without licence. But, i think no... Here any perso whith 18 years old can buy any air rifle whith caliber 0.22 (5.5) no limits to power. Unfortunately, the hunt is forbidden but, ever have some exceptions like superpopulation of woodpigeon and turk-pigeon (here we callerd carijó-pigeon). Interest know that some countrys use limits in air guns power. Do sense...

Hey R0G3R

 

It sounds like a good one. I have found that a heavy pellet work the best in my magnum air rifles.

 

 

Good luck, and kept us posted
