Hatsan Striker 1000S, Camo

I've recently discovered and and very pleased with Hatsan rifles. This one is no exception, I love the mossy oak camo on this break barrel and highly recommend the Hatsan brand to any serious airgunner. Very pleased with this rifle and also with Airgun Depot, I've purchased many airguns from Airgun Depot and will continue to buy from them in the future.

Pros
Great Camo pattern, great quality airgun.

Cons
Scope is usually hit or miss, I've had misses with other airgun combo's but this one was a hit.

Just opening this out of the box you can feel how well made it is. Virtually no plastic on it, extremely detailed and for under 125.00....I'm extremely happy. This is my 4th Air Rifle and my instant go to gun.

Pros
Powerful and underrated. I'm getting around 680 FPS with alloy pellets. It's only rated at 650 on the box. Well made, very solid. Accurate, getting good 5 shot groupings

Cons
Very hard to cock and break the barrel. It takes a lot of strength, while shooting targets with my son and wife I had to keep loading it. They couldn't come close to doing it themselves.

It's a well built product, can't say much for the scope so I purchased another one. It's a very good looking gun, especially in the Camo version. Shot approximately 500 rounds using Crosman Premier Hollow point pellets, seems to like it pretty much and it's cheap. Accuracy is great, sighted at 20 yards and hits the bulls-eye kill zone at about a dime size grouping. I weighed the gun with my scale with the added scope I purchased and it's about 10 lbs. The break action is not hard at all to load and it's not as loud as a rim fire .22. I'm really happy with the gun so far.

Pros
Price, well built, accurate and a very good looking air rifle

Cons
It feel heavier than the 6.4 lbs. that the specs say it is even with the scope off, I don't know I only had a bathroom scale to weigh it.

The first couple shots were reasonable and it didn't need much of a break in period. After having the gun for a day the scope got dirt in it and the cross-hairs were crooked. I went hunting and when I got done-didn't get anything, it turns out that a screw had fallen out and it was gone. The glue around the barrel was coming off and the sides were also coming off! Also it was the hardest thing to return, don't buy this gun and get something Better!

Pros
Light good grips

Cons
Everything else

I've bought 3 of these in the last month. All are heavy hitters. Shoot accurately. Mine is my go to gun now.

Pros
Best deal going.

Cons
None

Scope is trash. The opens sights hit 4" high at 20 yards and wont go any lower. It is hard as heck to break open. It's loud as a real 22, when it hits a bird, rabbit, etc. It sounds like dropping a steak on the counter it has POWER! I've killed rabbits out to 70-75 yards open sights.

Pros
POWERFUL!

Cons
loud, hard to cock, trash is scope, bad trigger, hit high no matter what

Wow this rifle has exceeded my expectations. As soon as I opened the box, I could just see the quality and this gun is solid!!! Airgun Depot shipped very quickly and provided amazing service. I was looking to upgrade from my Daisy Powerline 880, which I still love. I want to hunt more humanely when it comes to larger pests. So far, this rifle has been very accurate using just iron sights and seems to love and prefer Gamo Rockets. I wish it liked some cheaper pellets but will try JSB Diablo Monsters here soon. I have not used the scope yet but it seems of good quality. It is much quitter than previous break barrels I have owned which was rather surprising all you hear is a klang from the spring and a THWACK from pallet impact. Also it is rather light and I love the camo pattern.

After this purchase, and how much I am impressed with the quality of this brand, I plan on purchasing the 1000s .25 cal model.

Pros
-Great quality -Great value -Amazing accuracy -Rather light -Good camo pattern -Quieter than other break barrels I have owned

Cons
-Not purchasing sooner
