Stuntman Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hello chaps, seriously considering a cheap all weather rifle to go with my FX Cutlass I've read a couple of reviews and they seem to be cracking all purpose hunting rifles and really good value. Has anyone had any experience of them and how they handle? Cheers chaps Andi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I think there was a video on Youtube showing someone using a .25 Hatsan Striker. Not sure about the Sniper model though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I got a .22 striker and seriously impressed with it. Had a few higher end springers namely hw77/99s/80 and this is almost there. The only prob is a rough trigger. Does sub inch groups at 35 yards and crobo says 11.6 with the accupels, Very underated and clearly not like their shotguns. Came with 3-9x40 scope and bag for £150, can't be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Gunshop in skegness on Roman bank I think when visiting inlaws, it seems the going rate for it though so u shoudlnt have difficulty finding a similar kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Stuntman, get thee behind into Philip Webster Gunsmith, Swamp Lane, Great Ellingham, NR17 1LH, 01953 455697, he shifts loads of Hatsans (sold us two recently). His price on a Hatsan Sniper is £170, save you the £40 you would spend in petrol getting to Skegness! His has the bipod and sling fittings on it!

Youngmans are also selling the Hatsan 125 Sniper, at £250! I did ring Philip up to check the price, so Andi give him a call! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretagentmole Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 What pellets have you tried in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntman Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Problem may have been solved, the muzzle break is badly machined and appears to have been catching the skirts of the pellets on exit, I've removed the silencer and re-sighted the rifle. I need to spend a little time at the range to check my c-t-c groupings to decide whether not the rifle is staying. I've been running H&N Barracudas, AA Field, Daystate Li's and even tried the smk graphites, I'll be using the AA's depending on groupings. If I have sorted the problem I'll reprofile the end of the silencer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capital Bee Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Be interested to see how it performs after the troublesome element has been removed. I'd be interested in your results after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntman Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 had a few cycles tonight and i think i may have solved the problem. c-t-c off the bipod and it at 13mm at 25yds, a bit of range time and maybe a few different types of pellets and I could tighten it up and push the range to 35yds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
