Hatsan Mod 130S Vortex QE Air Rifle

Most break barrels are built for tin cans. Pests and small game ask for more than that.

Other break barrels hint at hunting use, while this one is built around a .30 caliber pellet.

Weight on Target: The .30 caliber pellet leaves at up to 590 feet per second and carries 34 foot-pounds of energy. The groundhog at the fence line does not run off wounded. The job ends where it started.

Quiet Work: The Quiet Energy integrated suppressor reduces the sound of the report. You take the first pest, and the second one is often still sitting there.

Easier on You and Your Scope: The Shock Absorber System reduces recoil and the stress it puts on your optic. The Vortex gas piston does the work behind it. Your glass takes less of a beating.

Fit That Steadies the Shot: You break the barrel, seat the pellet, and close it. Your cheek finds the adjustable comb, your hand finds the checkered grip, and the two-stage Quattro trigger breaks where you set it.

Made for the Trail: The all-weather stock carries integrated sling swivel mounts. Fiber optic sights come ready, and the 11mm dovetail and Picatinny combo rail takes the optic you choose. An automatic safety and anti-bear trap safety stand guard while you load.

Pick the rifle that matches the work you actually have to do.
