Made a new target stand and targets. Some scrap wood a few nails, chain I had laying about. Some Gatorade bottles filled with alfalfa pellets and dangled from chains. Let's shoot the Hatsan Carnivore .30,

What a beast! Looks like a lot of fun but I think the two handed cocking would get old fast though.

30 or so shots and I'm done. 50lbs each cycle. But it's one of my favorites hunting. Devastating on critters.

I've been hesitant to purchase 1 cause I'd read some bad reviews about the 135's gas Rams leaking. I love Hatsans and have several of their pcp's At44 .25, bt 65 .25,  Galation semi auto .25 and a big dog Hercules Bully .45.  but I love a nice break barrel too for  ease of use and as a bug out tool. Anybody with a 135qe put alot of rounds thru it? I've put at least 5000 rounds thru a At44 that I bought used for 300 bucks. It finally developed a leak after I had it 3 years an near daily use so I sent the gun to Hatsan and they fixed the leaking cylinder and even installed new baffles in my QE system. An yes after they refurbed it it was back to my most accurate reliable gun that will shoot 1/2 Inch or under at 50 yards. So I am actually pretty fond of Hatsans. I have a Benji trail np2 and a Gamo swarm magnum 10 shot but sounds like this 135 QE when functioning has even more power than those 2. Let me know if any of You guys have had a 135 for a long time an shot it alot?

I own both the 135 and the 130QE.  Have shot 1000s of rounds through both without a problem.  My experience is you hear about the bad but don't hear from the thousands of people that are happy with the rifles. Sure there might be a bad one but the good ones far exceed them.

Awesome rifle I give it 9/10 because it's so heavy and hard to cock. Or it would get a perfect score. 

I have 13 Hatsan break barrels. Never a problem with any.

Have you tried to fill the ram. There is a place but you will need a filling probe. If it's a older one you might replace the ram. The first ones were problematic the newer rams not so much. Hatsan USA has rams for about $40
