Hatsan Striker 1000S

Please contact our International Shipping Department at [email protected]. They can answer your question a lot better then we can. thanks Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team

I would say probably around 25-35 yards. I never used the scope I saw that it's crap and removed it and I only shoot it with the sights and the scope was thrown out completely.

To be perfectly honest I removed the scope. For the effective shooting distances of a pellet gun the iron sights are just fine. When I purchased this fun I had read many reviews essentially discounting the quality of the scope; I was not expecting much and it isn't. . Heck, what does one respect for this price point?!

It's good for about 30-40 yards

Cutting down the stock on a synthetic stock wont work because you will cut off the threads for the recoil pad

yes

Yes, it will definitely take out a squirrel. However, I believe that you will need to get a hunting license if you are going out to the back woods to take some out, if you get caught without one, there will be a fine. If you live outside city limits, and squirrels are eating your cat food, dog food, bird food, etc. they are legal to shoot without a license. This is the same for any nuisance animals, including most birds. If it's a crow or magpie, it's fine, but do not shoot Ravens, as they are a protected species. Check http://wildlife.utah.gov/rules-regulations/46-rules/rules-regulations/953-r657-19--taking-nongame-mammals.html for more information.

It has the capability of killing squirrels, yes. You will experience 12-15+FPE at the muzzles with various lead pellets. Its limitation as a low end, although great rifle for the money, will be distanc and accuracy. If you can do your part, you should experience consistent shot placement and takedowns within 25yd, though some might be able to extend that in knowing your rifle, pellets, optics, and shot placement.

absolutely, this is the rifle I use just for that purpose... I like round nose pellets, it works great.

Yes

You could easily kill a squirrel if you shot it in the head. 1000 FPS is plenty for small animals. You might not be able to use hollow points with it as well as you can some other guns. In my experience the barrel is a little "snug". What ammo you get will effect how close your spread is. That's with any gun, but the hollow points I purchased, as well as the heavy pellets (15.8g), needed a fair amount of force to get into the barrel. On the other hand I've used two different semi wadcutter pellets and they fit excellent and shoot extremely accurate. It could be a tight fit because of the riffling.

It sounds like any other 1000 fps shooting gun. The first couple shots will be loud, but once the gun is broken it it won't be bad at all.

its listed loud

I have not used the gamo but the Hatsan seems to be a great Air Rifle. It is quiet and seems to have less recoil than my Ruger Airhawk (.177) I am using at the moment Benjamin (crosman Premier) hollow points. Due to weather, I have only been able to shoot in my shop. about 20' to target. With open sites i can put 5 pellets in the same hole The rifle is light and fun to shoot.

Regarding pellets, it is a matter of use. I'm a fan of RWS wadcutters for close range, and I am now a fan of their new hornets, expensive, but lethal. I have 2 of the Gamos in .177. In my opinion the Hatsans outperform the Gamos in every respect. I have 3 of the Hatsan 1000s models - 1 in each of the 3 calibers - .177, .22, and .25. They all 3 exceede the advertised specifications. Hatsan quality and performance leaves the Gamos in the dust. Feel, weight, loudness, sights, safety, trigger, are all what I wanted in an air rifle. The scope is adequate, but can easily be upgraded.

anything .22 is good. I'm not sure if it better than the gamo bull wisper though.

It is an awsome gun!!! The Hatsan striker1000s is a good hunting gun With a lot of knock down power. The pellets I would recommend are the Hollow point or domed pellets. I have hunted rabbits and crows with this gun. You might want a better scope and it is dead on. The bipod is for showing off the rifle or displaying It. Over all a great gun and a hunting rifle.

I've only used Crosman Domed Premier Pellets, 0.22-Calibre and they shoot well in this gun. Shooting from 30 feet, these will go through a 1" pine board like it's butter. This is a nice quality gun. I bought one for my son, also, and we are pretty happy with the quality and firepower. Nice gun.

I have used The Beeman dome pellets, RWS Super-point and the RWS Super-H point with this rifle. The Beeman pellets turned out to work well for target practice with close targets but once I started shooting from about 50ft out, the accuracy started to drop off. The Super-point pellets worked very well and the groupings with these were much tighter for me than the Beemans in addition to being more accurate at longer distances. My favorite so far would have to be the Super Hollow points as they performed the best while shooting from a distance as well being perfect for hunting. I harvested a squirrel using the Hollow points from about 40ft away, first shot. As for whether or not the Striker is better than the Gamo, I would suggest you try it out and see for yourself. The Hatsan Striker 1000s is made by a company in Turkey known for their high quality firearms and air rifles. It shoots very straight and hits really hard! If you are thinking of upgrading, go for it, you won't be disappointed!

Hollow, which allows for me to add weight if needed to balance the rifle.

The Stock is Both lol it does have some hollow but it does not feel or sound like it.the walls are thick and there just isn't any bad feel to it. it's solid and strong. I bought one for all my son's they have several gun's Hunt daily deer and all game. My son's age from 34-22 they love them keeps them sharp with a real feel and weight and affordable plink in..

The stock is solid. Is a airguns accurate and potente developed with 16 grains 750 fps. Ideal for pest control and target shooting. It is a very good buy. There will regret.

I think it's hollow, but feels pretty solid. Not plastic.

The scope is fine for the accuracy of this gun, but I would buy new rings for the scope. The recoil tends to make the screws come loose. Blue loctite thread locker seems to help keep the screws tight though.

The scope and mount on this rifle is fine. I'm certain there are better ones out there, but I bought all three of the calibers for this model. At this price, I figured I couldn't go wrong, and I am pleased to report that I made a good decision. I will not replace the scope on any of them, and they are a welcome addition to my growing arsenal of air guns.

seems good to me. I'm sure There are better ones out there, but for shorter range shots and targets this seems fine. the scope doesn't zoom that much, but is pretty clear.

On a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the loudest it's about a 3. Not so great for urban use

I have all three of the Hatsan 1000S Models - .177, .22, and .25. My aged ears (without the hearing aids installed) tell me that they are all three equally as loud. I've never run a sound meter around them, and I wear hearing protection so to me the sound that I hear is very muffled. I do all of my shooting (targets and 50% of the time via a chrony to evaluate several pellet types and weights) at my home in an urban area. I have set up a small shooting area in a breezeway between the house and garage. No neighbors have ever complained, and I shoot at all times of the afternoon and early evening.

Jake, Yes, this rifle does have enough power to take down a rabbit. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team

John, The Hatsan Striker 1000S fires .22 caliber pellets. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team

Ray, This air rifle is guaranteed by the manufacturer for 1 year by a 1 year limited warranty. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team

No, in terms of your age i would recommend a youth gun such as a Daisy Red Ryder or a Daisy Grizzly.

I get 1/4 inch groups if I use a bench rest or the bipod. This rifle likes heavier pellets, my experience is stick with lead pellets for accuracy. I like RWS. The alloy pellets are not near as accurate in any rifle. This is a great rifle, it was replaced under a recall and the second one shot as good as the first. Very light barrel oiling followed by a dry swab will get you the best groups. Enjoy!

Estimated in stock date is 2013-03-03

Woodchucks yes. With raccoons, only if you were to hit it in the head. I would say no on raccoons.

Pros- cheap, decent power Cons: horrible construction as with most low end hatsan guns, hard to cock, can't count on quality control to catch anything so it's a toss up. My hatsan had screwed up sights, wobbly trigger guard and the scope exploded.

Around 900 fps.

The gun is very good quality. If you are asking about the bipod, it is as cheap as it gets. It works like a pair of wooden clothes pins and has similar clamping force. f you want a usable, nice bipod get one that clamps onto the gun with a set screw or C-clamp.

It is cheap plastic so nothing to brag about, but is helpful occasionally.

It comes with a Bipod that Hatsan makes. It can be folded when not in use. Hatsan guns do not feel flimsy or cheaply made. They are very sturdy guns that can take a beating.

it is only about 6 and a half pounds,it is fairly loud with a bit of a kick, and it is pretty powerful (1000 feet per second). It is also good for hunting rabbits and squirrels

I have the 1000s and I love it. I use alloy pellets. They are gold plated gamo pellets and I get an extra 250 fps if not more and I have no problem taking out squirrels and possums. Alloy pellets are the way to go. Hope this helps.

Thank you for you interest. For questions about international ordering/shipping please email us at [email protected]. This so we can better help you. The need for licenses and permits are determined by you local city officials. You will need to check with your city to know if you will need any permits, though in most cases no permit is needed.

YES IT DOES. ITS AVAILABLE IN MOST MODELS AND IS AVAILABLE IN THE STRIKER. CHECK THE HATSAN WEBSITE FOR COMPLETE INFO. GOOD HUNTING!

I would consult your neighbors first. This gun is kinda loud.

This is a decent quality Brand. We haven't been carrying this gun for long, but there have been very few returns on these ones. They are pretty reliable.

this gun can kill any of the animals in question. Raccoon and opossum may have to be a bit closer than rabbits depending on their size though.

there are a lot of variables that come into whether or not your gun will kill an animal at a certain range. Pellet type and what you are trying to kill are the main variables. Since it is a .22 caliber, It will probably kill most small animals within 20-30 yards.

We are relatively new to using the hatsan products since we have only carried them a short while. They seem to be pretty great though but I cannot say at this point if they have the same durability as the gamo guns. They work great though.

Yes it weights around 6lbs....not heavy at all unless the person isn't very strong....

I don't have a scale, but it weighs more than my 22 rifles. I have not tried the bipod. The scope is cheap, and you need to adjust the rear sight to a high setting to site the gun in. I spent some time with the gun shooting at a target at 15 yards and with the rear sight at the lowest setting the shots were very low. With the scope mounted and the rear sight adjusted up you really can not use the iron sights and also the scope, unless you could lower the front sight.

The gun can be hard to cock for kids especially if they aren't very strong...

Like I said the weight bias is forward and small kids lack arm strength.

No creep as from the factory, the trigger is adjustable. This model does not have the new quattro trigger which has more adjustments

Don't know if it is the same as the old triggers, but this one is adjustable. There is even a hole in the trigger guard to adjust the pull (neat).
