Hatsan Striker 1000S .177 Air Rifle Kit w/3-9x32 Scope & Bipod

I just got my new Hatsan 1000S in a couple of days ago and ..........LOVE IT !!! It shoots very hard and holds very good groups with the right kind of pellet. I got golfball groups with RWS Super H at 30 yds and with the PBA Platinums I got less than a quarter groups at 30 yds. I have yet to shoot it thru my chronograph to see the actual FPS, but I will soon. Overall this is a very impressive gun for the $$$. The spring action is a little loud but not nothing that is to bad. For the performance, I can stand a little noise from the spring.

Just got this Rifle and only a few shots, but I have been looking for an air rifle for some time. Went to Academy and examined various brands. I decided to go with the Hatsan since I have their 12 Gauge Semi-auto, which out performs any semi-auto I have had before. This gun for the price is hard to beat. At 112 dollars you get upper level quality for a great price. This gun came with a scope, and a bipod. This gun is heavy and the weight bias is to the front. Which I like, since the forward weight makes the gun stable. With that said, this gun would not be good for kids, or a small woman. Also the scope mounts are high enough to still use the metal sights, but just barely. I would upgrade the scope mounts and go with higher mounts.

Bought this along with a different break barrel to plink with my son, LOADS of fun. Ready to shoot straight out of the box. With a little tweaking it was sighted in fairly fast and shooting tight groups. Glad I made this purchase.

The trigger is hard, the kick is more than I expected but all in all great gun for the price.

Ok I dont want to waist your time here since some of these reviews seem endless (they were all good and defenantly worth reading) so I am going to get right to it. This gun is powerful and delivers the right amount of knock down power to kill any rodent / bird. Although a little off accuracy straight out of the box it is very easy to adjust the sights. I just adjusted my scope a little bit and it isn't 1/2 of a millimeter off, and when i was target practicing with it, it shot right by the ply wood support throwing splinters in every direction. This gun is very reliable and although a little heavy it is still very comfortable. This gun is a GREAT buyers choice.

First and foremost, the scope is crap. I take about 40 hours of shooting to get a good grouping with a single gun normally, this gun about 4 or 5 hour (I am not saying 40 hours at once, just over all). This gun is very accurate with the iron sights. The scope is too good for the gun itself. In order to have a clear picture past 4 or 5 you have to be really far away. The rings/scope mount is what I do not like however. I cannot get a consistent group with the scope because the scope is rattling around. My dad says this is because of the dovetail mount but I think it isn't a problem if you tighten the screws tight (unfortunately the heads of the screws on the mounts are plastic) Other than the scope the gun is a great deal. It punches through a 150 pages of a phone book from 15 or 20 yards, which is very impressive. The cocking is very easy and I am a skinny 14 year old. The plastic shroud over the front sight is nice so you do not have to worry about it hitting anything. The stand this gun comes with is kind of cheap but it helps the accuracy. The rubber inserts are nice addition to the gun and give it a nice feels. The weight bias is towards the front, which is good to keep the gun steady but after about two or three hours of shooting it gets very heavy. Nothing for adults to worry about but if you are a kid/younger I would say prepare for something that is pretty heavy. However, even though the front of the gun is very heavy it is VERY light in the back, most likely the back of the stock is semi hollow. There is no ''Integrated Sound Moderator'' in it but it is still somewhat quite. The trigger pull has a long travel but I kind of like this. Once I have shot a single gun enough times I know the trigger pretty well and I feel I can pull the trigger until there is just a little bit left, then I fully pull the trigger. I have not tried to adjust the trigger because I am happy with it but it is adjustable. The safety is in the back like most other break barrels so nothing interesting about that. The trigger is metal but the trigger guard is plastic (semi good plastic, nothing to worry about if your not dropping it). My gun came very greased up which is good. Be sure to wipe the oil off the handle & barrel & stock & trigger, you get the point. Trying to adjust the trigger is a pain in the butt. All I have shot are Crossman premiers pointed. I have heard that you should shoot try different pellets in air guns because the, The right pellet changes everything. I wont buy anything that is not at a nearby store like Wal-Mart or Big 5 ect. I do want to try some more pellets but I am satisfied with the accuracy now. I hit the Lid of a pellet cap at 10 yards 4/5 times (I am not the best shot with this gun yet) I have not taken out any game but I'm sure it will take out a rabbit, squirrel with ease. RECAP: great gun for the money, scope ring are crap, iron sights are amazing, punches through 150 pages of phone book, no sound moderator but still a quite gun, weight bias is in the front, easy cocking. Great Gun For the Money

This is a very good rifle i got myself 1 for christmas and enjoying it ,it is very powerfull and accurate
