Title: New Hatsan Striker 1000x .22
Post by: unionrdr on November 02, 2016, 07:57:55 PM
I was asked to start a new thread when my gun came in. So here we go. After the first deal turned out to be a bait-n-switch, I'm getting help from Amazon to return it for refund. This one is from midwayusa.com, & it came in right when they said it would. Which, needless to say, wasn't the 10 days or so the other guy took, shipping it over half of creation. 2-3 days. As straight a line from MO to NE OH as could be! It's in .22 caliber, which by factory #'s averages 800FPS. That of course varies significantly by tests I've seen + or -.Here's some pics to start with;
The unboxing after removing it from outer box;                                                                                     Out of the box minus scope;
(http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss71/unionrdr/IMG_0203.jpg)    (http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss71/unionrdr/IMG_0206.jpg)
With Hammers 3-9x32AO scope mounted;                                                                                            Compared to Crosman 160;

  I removed the factory 2-screw scope stop, since the Hammers rail mount has 4 Allen bolts in it. That should tighten down sufficiently to hold it steady. It also allowed me to move the scope back just enough for goof eye relief. The Hatsan definitely feels about 1.5lbs heavier than the Crosman 160. I'll have to get out my digital scale & see. It weighs in pounds, ounces & grams. It'll be interesting to compare them in a bench rest shoot, once I get them sited in. The Crosman 160 is said b many to be a tack driver @ an average of 600FPS. So they're both mid-power guns in my estimation.

Nice to see you finally got the right one! Looking forward to seeing what kind of numbers and favorite pellets once you get her settled and sighted in.

I can't wait for that new indoor range to get done around a country block from me. It's to be named, " Gun Hub". Just about ready for some serious target practice...

You may find that you need the scope stop (pretty harsh recoil, I've had 3 Strikers). If so, just reverse it and use only the  back screw hole to get proper eye relief.

The rail mount is already back past where the scope stop screwed in. I might still wind up with an offset rail mount?

If you do have scope creep, this will solve the problem when used with the scope stop.

That's the style I had in mind. More than two bolts would be preferable though?

I've used them with no problems and being able to use the scope stop plate with both screws makes up for only 2 bolts in the mount base.
Nowadays I use Hawke Reach Forward match mounts. They're more than a bit pricey at $26.99 but my scopes don't budge and I use the stop plate in the front 2 holes and put the back of the front ring against it.

You can use the mount Steve uses or the UTG offset mount plus the Hatsan scope stop reversed. The UTG has 2 vertical stop pins, they may line up with the factory screw holes in the receiver. I end up using some sort of offset mount on all my Hatsans to get proper eye relief.

Hadn't thought of using the scope stop on the front holes. Interesting set of mounts. The Hammers rail has a floating stop pin, but it's too big for the smallish screw holes in the spring housing. Guy on Airgun Nation said he uses the rail like mine without stop & it works fine? I'll just have to see what works? Might just talk to cop sergeant again? He said if the range fails, that he might be able to help me with a plce to sight in? Wanna shoot already!

Does your community have a prohibition against backyard airgun shooting? Most allow it as long as you have a safe backstop.

Re scope creep, try the mount you have and make a mark indexing the position of the mount relative to the receiver, if it doesn't move you're good to go.

Yeah, darn it. No air guns, firearms, arrows, slingshots, anything that's shot or thrown, launched, etc. Darn yuppies that don't shoot or hunt making stupid laws inhibiting those that do. Good idea to mark it. Oiled barrel & stock with Rem Oil. Rubbed on all, then wiped off excess from stock;

Too bad about the local ordinances. Do you have a garage or basement? AFAIK, there is no prohibition on shooting indoors. I have a 10 yard range set up in my garage so I can shoot rain or shine.

I sanded off the factory finish on my 1000X and finished it with hand rubbed Danish oil, it came out great and brought out the grain.

Same here..the way they're set up, I just could never get my scopes back far enough so I resorted to what I currently have. Mine get wiped down with Ballistol but I have yet to decide if I wanna tackle a refinish on one. Winter isn't here yet so maybe then...lol

The Crosman 160 was easy. But in the pic above, I finally captured the grains glow. Like this coffee table I made years ago out of Philippine Mahogany. The grain had a glow to it, depending on viewing angle. I still have to find the right size of my scattered hex keys to really tighten the screws. Had two full sets & the boys lost them. Then it should be enough to hold it if kept tight. Got the Weaver scope changed out on the Crosman for the Optima 3-9x32 the Hatsan came with. Here's another shot of the two together. The Striker got one hand-rubbed coat of Rem Oil on the stock, then excess wiped off with a dry towel & allowed to dry overnight...

Post by: unionrdr on November 05, 2016, 06:06:51 PM
And then today, I found my Umarex cleaning kit had the right size Allen bit to tighten the Hammers scope mount/rail screws down real good. That done, I pulled the barrel back then up, then back without cocking it 10 times, per instructions to aid break in. Then cocked it & proceeded to run rem oil soaked patches through it till they started coming out clean. Then four dry patches to wipe out excess oil.
(http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss71/unionrdr/IMG_0220.jpg)
Then, being a cocked springer, I had to shoot it to release air/spring pressure. Kicked harder than expected & was louder than my carbine with .22lr CCI mini mags. Jeff explained to me it was detonation, not the dieseling I expected. He instructed me to run a dry patch through the bore, so I did precisely that.
(http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss71/unionrdr/IMG_0221.jpg)
He said this pattern is from detonation. So I guess I'll have to shoot it a few more times to blow out all the excess grease, oil, etc? By the way, I decided to use the heaviest pellets I bought up to this point for testing/sight-in-RWS superpoint extras @ 14.5gr. Sound shouldn't be too bad after blowing it out while sighting in/braking in...

Since My wife & son were heading over to Walmart, I had them get me a 500ct tin of Crosman Premiere Hollow Points in 14.3gr. $6.97 per 500ct, so I'll use these for sighting in the scope & breaking in the action. And since they're the same weight as one of the two German pellets I bought (14.5), & 14.3 on the Gamo Rockets, the scope should hold the sight-in adjustments. And the rest I ordered from Pyramid Air that just came in today. The .22 caliber Pellet Pen & setting tool, larger cloth patches for oiling/applying Tru-Oil & the like& some RWS Air chamber lube with application needle.

Please don't put air chamber oil in that new rifle. Works great for the old school leather piston seals but does nothing for the new style synthetic ones other than make it diesel for a few shots.

In the older guns with a leather piston seal, the oil kept the leather from drying out and supple for a good seal. The newer stuff has synthetic seals and doesn't need it, just a light film of moly paste to keep them sliding back and forth in the compression chamber smoothly.
I did buy a couple pellet pens a long while back to get an order to $150 for the free shipping but honestly have yet to try one...lol

How'd you manage to get 2 pellets out of the pen at once? This .22cal one has the Pell-set tool too. Sticks on the other end to seat skirt flush in breach. RWS superpoints sure need it, at least. New E Shop that sent wrong striker model refunded my CC in paypal, so that's done. I keep thinking Pyramid Air said the RWS stuff was silicone lube?

The green .22 caliber one I bought for the Hatsan has an extra, adjustable tip that goes over the open end you put the pellets in as a seating device. sorta like a ball/bullet starter for a smoke poll.

Yes and you have to turn the pellet seater over to use it.  My thumb is much less hassle.

I tried using my thumb with some of the German pellets. Can't push'em hard enough to seat them another 1/32" or so. The seating tool is also adjustable for rammer depth. That's a nice feature. And thanks twood68, they are quite nice. Just look at them for a few minutes now & then...Longing to shoot them. Stupid city ordinances.

Nice! Mine's been holding pretty good so far. Detonation shot & succeeding shots clearing it out nicely with no movement yet. I also got a Plano 1 gun case for transporting my gun of choice to hunting spot picked up today. Was on sale for $17.83 @ Walmart.com. Wanna get a better quality 2 scoped gun case for shooting ranges. Anyway, Waiting for rabbits, ducks, or squirrels to show in backyard again to sight in. Hey, nothing like getting 2 jobs done at once, is there? And like Shooter, shoot from cover in back of the room. ;)

Thanks Tom! Can't wait to get paid so I can round up the rest of the range stuff I'll need. Tried out the two gun case I got for Christmas a lil while ago. Both the Crosman 160 & Striker 1000x fit snugly inside. albeit barely. It's 50.5" inside, & Winchester 1400cs was said in add to be 50.2". Wrong! More like 51.2", as the barrel hangs over the outside edge by an inch. Diagonally no less! So I'll need at least a 52" case for the Wini.

Well, still waiting on the last deliveries to hit the range. two-1lb bags of these plastic beads aren't enough to fill the BR bags. Needs about 3lbs for the front, about 2lbs for the rear. Still waiting on the Osage range bag that was estimated for delivery today. And once again, shipment got transferred to USPS. 5lbs more of the beads by the end of the month. Got the Caldwell electronic hearing protection with MP3 jack/wire included. Stereo mics in both sides amplify sound below 85decibles, cancel above that.

Well I hit the range for about an hour last Saturday. Plastic, narrow bench about 11" wide, And stools had me sitting too high to be comfortable or use BR bags. Besides having to walk with a cane some 200' to the door, then from one side of the building to the other to watch newbie video before hitting the range. Bad back & hips had my hands shaking, & I tried different breathing techniques too. Holding forestock end proved better than near trigger guard. I messed up at first adjusting scope, but most shots in groups of three moving from lower left to upper right in about 30 shots. Tagged on the lines a few times, lower left bull had one shot nearly inside another. Above that, about 5-6 shot group the size of a dime. All while trying not to shake from the pain. Need a lower stool or chair to use front bag next time.

Well, I set up my new Caldwell deluxe chronograph yesterday with IR LED's, backstop full of packed junk mail (new use for bad rubbish!), backed by 4" of pink Styrofoam insulation, 3/4" particle board, & a 2x12 in my man cave. Tried these three pellets in the Striker 1000x .22, 6 shots each in FPS;
Crosman PHP, 14.3gr     RWS Superpoint Extra, 14.5gr     H&N Baracuda Green Domed, 12.65gr
766                              694                                           864
753                              689                                           870
745                              719                                           867
739                              692                                           865
736                              700                                           865
732                              703                                           869
Average velocity after 6 shots-
745.16FPS                    699.5FPS                                   866.67FPS
I was kind of surprised that it liked the H&N Baracuda Greens. I mean, they are the lightest, but it seems like even .2 of a grain made more difference than I thought that minute amount would? They're also the most consistent. So Hatsan must've tested with 13gr pellets or so to get the listed 800FPS? I'll try the H&N Baracuda green domed at the range next time & see what happens?
Title: Re: New Hatsan Striker 1000x .22
Post by: SteveP-52 on February 28, 2017, 06:37:37 PM
Hatsan only uses real lead pellets for testing. They're likely the lightest weight lead they can get but they're real lead not the green lead free stuff and why Hatsan's fps numbers are usually pretty close to what they claim depending on what you find yours shoots the most accurate.

Post by: unionrdr on March 07, 2017, 06:50:23 AM
Yeah, I've read that a lot about their tests. Had to be a bout 13gr to get that 800FPS. If the Baracuda Green's do well at the range, I'll use those for awhile.

Thanks for mentioning that. Was wondering which one was used, and hadn't looked at their pellets much. I traded the two boxes of Straight Shooters .177 cal samplers I got from a member here after using a few myself for a bunch of tins of .22 pellets not opened by a fellow air gun page administrator on Facebook who no longer needed them. I added the tin of Beeman Silver Bears that are the same 12.65gr as the H&N Baracuda Green's. Here's a pic of the tins of pellets from the trade;
(http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss71/unionrdr/IMG_0411.jpg)
I used them in the Hatsan Striker 1000x here as a good excuse to break it in further, of course. But it's also the only one of two .22 cals that shoots atm. The Crosman 160 still has an intermittent leak after the new @=S+S%^$# valve assembly went in. Did a new Airgun Shooter video with the chronograph plugged into my new Galaxy J3 phone & Caldwell app;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8vrssSTTOk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8vrssSTTOk)
Here's another view of pellets nobody seems to think of showing that I finally had the thought to not too long ago. Each pellet is a bit different in length, and of course design. BUT, look at the skirt design to the left of each one. The H&N Sniper Light has a skirt that looks just like a rocket engine's nozzle.

Well, I decided to clean all three air rifle's barrels and found them quite filthy indeed. Long before factory recommended intervals. I was sure some of the chronograph numbers were off. Well, I learned some interesting things yesterday when I shot this video of me shooting the pellets a second time from EP 14 in EP17, I call REDO.

On another note. Those sniper lights are really accurate but when I chrony them they're all over the place 680-740fps.   They're the most inconsistent pellet speed wise but are good for 5/8" groups at 15yards.   Really odd.

Yeah man, I'm starting to see that myself. And after I had to install a new breech seal too on the Winchester .177. I have the sniper lights for both, and they are rather odd chrono-wise? I oiled all the guns again today while waiting for the A frame 10-gun rack to arrive.

I also had another problem I didn't notice right away when shooting that video. About 8X shots in, I noticed two half inch long metal shards hanging out toward the back of the Hammers scope mount. Darn think had slowly walked about a half-inch backward during all those shots up to the point I noticed it. Turned the scope mount around, remounted the scope in it, then installed the Hatsan scope stop backwards with one screw in it to allow for better eye relief while using it. Here's some pics of it all;

Okay, been making lists like crazy this week for .177 and .22 pellets, slings for the Striker and Benjamin Trail NP XL725, etc.  For the Striker 1000x, I see the Winchester 1400cs elongated front sling swivel on the cocking lever (under barrel hinge part) looks like it's wide enough to fit the Striker. But the lever Will have to be drilled through on the Striker to mount the front sling swivel. But I do wanna do this the right way. Hatsan couldn't help me. There response was rather typical, " Leonard, we do not offer sling mounts for that model. You can find slip-on shotgun slings That may fit your needs". Seriously? Not a tinker or gunsmith in da house? Guess I have to take'em back to school?...

Post by: unionrdr on September 13, 2017, 04:50:22 PM
My primary concern is that, @ 16gr, it might be a hair too heavy for the average 800FPS or so springer? I even contacted H&N with an idea to bounce off their engineers to change the machined tip in the .22 version to cut 1.5gr off the total weight. Here's their engineer's response;
(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/923/06dZv6.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/pn06dZv6j)
That said, have any of you chronographed these? Any target shots with either .177 or .25 version at some 20-25 yards? I have to wait to get paid again to buy the tins of each to test and hunt with.

Post by: mentolio on September 13, 2017, 05:06:23 PM
I've shot (other) 16gr pellets and heavier both over the Chrony and at targets through a spring powered Striker Edge in .22. Some certainly seemed a little "off," but generally speaking these guns (mine at least) shoot well with these heavier pellets. I once got a sub 6 fps extreme spread with the JSB Jumbo Monster 25.39 gr domes, and they grouped well (at 20 yards) too. I wouldn't shoot those on the regular (too slow to legally hunt with and too expensive to stock up on for me), but the gun didn't seem to mind them.

Post by: SteveP-52 on September 13, 2017, 05:30:17 PM
My Edge Vortex .22 except for the gas ram is the same rifle as your 1000X springer and has the same 800 fps rating and I've never had any problems shooting 16-18gr pellets in it and it shoots them all pretty well...for that matter, all my .22's do, gas ram or springer. I've also shot the JSB King 18.13 gr with no problems so your rifle should handle any of them just fine and all of the above are way less expensive than the Terminators.
The H&N Crow Magnum and H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme also do pretty nasty things to small game, the Sniper Magnums I have yet to try on live targets.

I was wondering about the .22 version, as the Crosman Optimus I bought my youngest son has virtually the same power range as my Striker 1000x, both being .22cal as well. I figured he could shoot smaller pigs with it. I might even let one of the other boys use the 1000x with'em for small pigs while I use the Trail NP xL725 .25 magnum on them.

I would hesitate to use a 15 FPE air rifle for pig hunting. Anything less than a perfectly placed shot will just injure the animal and it's doubtful that you will be able to chase it down and dispatch it.

A 30 to 40+ FPE big bore PCP rifle would be up to the task for a clean kill, not the little Hatsan 1000. Use the right tool for the job...just MHO.
Title: Re: New Hatsan Striker 1000x .22
Post by: unionrdr on September 15, 2017, 02:31:20 PM
I actually get from 15.15 to 21.12FPE, depending on the pellet. Besides, Keith Warren taking two small ones with a Whisper .22. And that was @ 22 yards with Rocket pellets @ 14.3gr. I personally like my Benjamin Trail NP XL725 .25cal for the job. Like 21.85 to 32.55FPE, again depending on the pellet. H&N FTT @ 19.91gr got the highest number. Wanna get the H&N hornets @ 23.16gr a try when I get some in .25. .22 hornets are 16gr, .177 are like 8.60gr. Since H&N silver points @ 24.38gr get 663/23.80 to 677/24.82, the Hornets should have plenty of velocity and power at 25-30 yards or so. I'd say more like 20-25 yards for extra smack though, initially. Another fella on Facebook air rifle page dropped a 159 pound pig with a Hatsan Sniper .25 recently. And that was 30-40 yards.
Anyway, an ear shot with even a .22 with the right pellet/velocity/FPE will do the job @ 20 yards or so. I'll have my son testing that theory with his Crosman Optimus .22 in the future. It has about the same power range as the Striker-Edge.

Also weighs in at about 8.69lbs with Hammers 3-9x32AO mildot scope. Not exactly small, like the Crosman 160 Pellgun. Even it pushes 660FPS!

Just me but I'd save the cash and just get the Predator Polymags in both .22 and .25 if you don't already have them. From my own experience with them on squirrels and crows and reading about other members using them on small game. Ask anti-squirrel, it's his favorite pellet for his Hatsan 95 .25.

Post by: unionrdr on September 15, 2017, 04:47:21 PM
Yeah, I've been considering those, including the shorter ones. But the Machined brass tips on the H&N Hornets are said to give better penetration on piggy noggin's? Can't hurt to try? I have other various styles and weights of pellets for the usual small game at various ranges.

Metalmag isn't machined to a sharp point and is a grain heavier than the H&N Hornet. A matter of efficiency vs choice I should think?

Never tried the Metal mags myself but they came to mind for metal pointed tip pellets. I only swat the occasional pest that wanders in the back yard and shouldn't have and in .25 cal it's either the JSB King 25.39gr or the H&N Crow Magnums. In .22, Crow Magnums, Baracuda Hunter Extremes or FTT's...they all get the job done.

+1.  You can kill an elk with a .223 but ask seasoned elk hunters and outfitters and see how many recommend it.  Not saying it can't be done.  Manny has it down to a science.  Knows the habitat backwards and forwards and shoots at known distances.  You see the pics of the results, and it is impressive.  But I guarantee the scouting and preparation and practice with the rifles requires a lot of time.  IMO gamo and others do a disservice hyping their stuff with videos of people popping pigs with .177.  Nuisance animal or not, respect for your game includes the idea that they are put down with adequate means.  Not saying you are not capable just that people see gamo ads or whatever and think they can buy a big cat and a tin of CPHP's at walmart and now they are the PIG KILLA.  Just my opinion and not specifically pointing at you Leonard, just the general idea that's been around on the web for many years now.

He used a .22cal with JSB pellets on that large boar with a headshot. My son's .22 Crosman Optimus has my Striker 1000x's power, but about 1.5lbs lighter. Loud though, with no suppressor. So it'll handle the H&N hornet 16.02gr's quite well for a head shot. I wanna use my Benjamin Trail NP XL725 I named, " Pigkiller" with the hornet 23.16gr version. Same head shot should face plant them.

Okay, the two tins of H&N hornet pellets came in last Monday. .22 @ 16.2gr, and .25 @ 24.38gr. .25's were the last version, not the latest from Pyramid air. I shot one of the .22 hornets through my Striker 1000x and it fit the chamber snugly, but not too tight. Fit flush with the breech easily too. But kicked harder than any other pellet too?!  Thung, smack at POI, striking right where I aimed it. They'll be great for my son's .22 Optimus and smaller pigs.

The Hatsan .25cal doesn't match the velocity numbers of the Benjamin Trail NP XL725 .25 magnum either. As listed, the Hatsan .25 is 750FPS, whereas the Trail is 900FPS and 30FPE.All three calibers in the Benjamin Trail series are magnums.

OK, thanks for clarifying the type of chrony. I do realize your 1000X is .22, but in general the same powerplant will produce similar FPE in all calibers, depending of course on pellet weight. Looks like your 1000X is shooting above factory spec, you got a winner!

I recon so? The Trail .25 magnum is shooting at and above spec as well! What's the odds of that twice?! Gotta mod a Weaver/Picatinny rail to fit the 4 scope stop holes on the Striker 1000x though. As can be heard/seen in the video, the scope stop screw on the Hatsan went, " PING" when the screw broke, sounding just like the bullet clip in the M1 Garand's pop always complained about after the last shot.

I've definitely made up my mind to convert the scope mount to a Weaver/Picatinny rail, putting four screws through it to fit the holes Hatsan put in for the 2 scope stop positions. Then use Super Glue Gel on the base of the mount when I screw it down into place after clamping it down first until the glue dries. Should be the next-best thing to welded on?
I want this style mount on the Benji Trail;

Lately though, I've been thinking of removing the broken screw in the rear set of stop holes, then get new screws and another scope stop from Hatsan. Then use offset rings with both stops and blue Loctite. That might do it. Getting steadier with the monopod Trigger stick too...

I was at PA earlier looking for cleaning supplies, and took a look at the scope mounts. They have a dovetail-to-Weaver/Picatinny rail conversion, 4-bolt for like 19 bucks that has to stop screws toward either end. I wonder if y'all have any experience with this one on a Hatsan?

Yep, used that same mount on a Striker. It (the UTG) also has ten degrees of droop compensation. You may need to modify the end of the stop pin so it fits in the stop hole on receiver (I don’t recall modding mine as I think it terminated in a cone shape). I prefer to not use it, as it really increases the height of the scope...I like them so sit very low/close to the receiver.

Post by: unionrdr on December 05, 2017, 12:07:57 PM
Hey, here's a thought. Would you say the Weaver-to-Dovetail is about the same height as the Hammer's 4-bolt, one piece mount from the factory I've been using? The scope is their 3-9x32AO mildot. Here's a pic;
(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/924/andtR3.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/poandtR3j)
Now, using these Hawke low rise mounts, it seems like it'd keep it fairly low?

Well, no...the first pic is my Hatsan Edge with Hammers scope and a similar height UTG scope mount:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/xNxMypZsluErRs572

   Note, it is a 40mm objective, and sits so tightly-close to the receiver that I had to trim the cap on the lens cover just to get it to fit. Next up is a Crosman Vantage with the UTG dove tail to weaver mount:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/ky3vTfV6kBIVotGI3

   Different scope, but still a 40mm objective. Mounted with UTG "low" rings (which may be a few mm higher than the Hawks rings, but are still low). Note how much higher the the scope sits on this gun. I don't mind it so much on this gun, as it is a .177 and has a relatively "flat" trajectory. The Edge being .22, is quite a bit more "loopy," and so I like the scope to sit as low as possible in the hopes of mimizing my need to compensate for different ranges. Obviously I still have to compensate, I just feel it is less of an issue at the ranges I shoot. I also like this mount on the Vantage for it's droop compensation.

I think the Hawke low mounts look a lot lower than those in the 2nd pic? I thought they'd sit lower than that on the weaver-to-dovetail mount? I liked the dual stop screws, which might work with the Striker's stop bolt hole spacing? I also have that UTG high-mount in the first pic. Just in case I might need one.
Title: Re: New Hatsan Striker 1000x .22
Post by: mentolio on December 07, 2017, 06:33:56 AM
Nope, both stop bolts do not line up properly with the holes on the receiver. You will only get one, unless you drill a second hole for the front. Bear in mind that the mount itself raises your mounting surface by 3/4 of an inch, and that's before rings. The Hammers mount measures about 1 inch to the bottom of the ring (roughly the same height as a standard "high" ring). The rings would have to measure 1/4" from bottom to where the scope meets the ring, which just ain't happening on a weaver ring. It's just going to mount your scope a little higher. It's not "unserviceable," just a little higher than I prefer. I see guys mounting scopes on high rings, with larger measurements between the scope and the receiver, and not having any problems.

Post by: SteveP-52 on December 21, 2017, 07:21:45 PM
Hatsan should have the scope stop plates and screws, just send them an email. As far as a Turkish Walnut stock, that's something you'll very likely have to have someone custom make for you as to the best of my knowledge, Hatsan doesn't make one for the Striker.
You can try the Vendor Gate and maybe talk to Steve at Woods and Water Outdoors or maybe Mike at Airgunstocks.com, but you're likely looking at something in the range of $300-$400 at least.
You could also check locally at any of your area gun shops and ask if they know anyone that makes gun stocks and would consider it.

There's no real power difference between the Striker and the 95, they both use a 125 bar gas ram. Only difference between the gas rams in them is a forked end cap on the 95 gas ram to allow the trigger pack to slide up inside the receiver.
The 135 on the other hand is a beast with a higher pressure gas ram for more power and an adjustable cheek rest I wish the 95's came with.

Correct Steve, only the 135 would be an FPE upgrade but both are an upgrade re the trigger as well as the stock. Too bad the M125 isn't available with the walnut stock. They are getting scarce, but I occasionally see the steel spring 135's at a good price. I have both vortex and steel spring 135's in .177 and the springer shoots about 10% higher FPE than the gas ram.

Yes. They have " normal", fruit wood, dark and medium walnut that I've noticed so far. I've been strongly leaning toward medium walnut to get the Turkish Walnut tone.
Here's the pic of it with sample from Homer cheapo;

That's close. I wanted to get close as possible to Turkish Walnut in the " good" stocks. This beechwood Striker x stock has some nice grain to it, but the reddish color is wrong. So I'm wanting to try the WATCO medium walnut with Tru-Oil over that to get the tone real close.

I also changed to an extra set of ring mounts I had laying around. I think from Winchester? And Hatsan is sending me at least one new scope stop kit, since I explained breaking a screw and needing two stop kits to go with rings to stop all the scope walk. I'm also going to make a small tabbed spacer out of scrap steel o go between the two scope stops with small tabs to go under both then tighten the whole mess down.

If the stock is a bit to long? Whip out the saw and go to work.
You don't have a single dime in it so what do you have to lose?
If holes don't line up? Re-drill. Be creative on hiding the old not used holes.
Pearl type inlays or such. Get creative, be bold!

If your not up to it all? Send it to Steve.
I know he'll be able to do something with it.

The tactical stock from an AT44 is not made to fit the BT65 platform but do you think that will stop me from MAKING it work?
And I have over $150 invested in that!

Here's a suggestion on the pivot holes if they don't line up.
Drill new holes and then on the old holes? Fill them and print out the Hatsan round logo.
place it on the old holes and seal the stock. Would look cool as heck!
Title: Re: New Hatsan Striker 1000x .22
Post by: SteveP-52 on January 07, 2018, 03:59:39 PM
Iffy??  From actual hands on, yes I have tried this my own personal self owning 3 Edges, a 1000X, 3 Webley VMX's and a Webley Spector that all have the same style receiver as the Striker you want to put in that 95 stock. Look closely at the pic and what the arrows point to. You can do it with a dremel or round wood file, but you have to make grooves on the inside of that 95 stock for those to slide into.

Lightly set your Striker action on top of the 95 stock and mark the places where those fins hit, then sand your grooves.

Like Jeff said, you'll need to cut a little off the front forks, about an inch or so, but measure it against your Striker stock for matching the length, mark, cut and sand.

Last but most important and also like Jeff said, you'll have to get the stock screw holes to line up as the ones in the 95 stock likely won't with the Striker receiver. The Striker screws also go in at an upward angle so take that into account before you drill. You can use the stock screw holes on the Striker stock as a guide on how they need to be so the screws will work. The 95 holes can be filled with glued in wood plugs and sanded along with the rest of the stock. Just dab a little stain on them first and let it set, then stain the whole stock with however many coats you plan to.

If you take your time and don't rush fitting the Striker action and refinishing that 95 stock, you'll have the Turkish Walnut stock you want for it.

Or if you're still "iffy" about it all, PM me and I'll send you my addy to ship that stock to me. I have a couple rifles it will fit or I can make it fit and I'll even pay the shipping so all it costs you is time reboxing it and putting a shipping label on it.

John, when you get it, just lay your Striker stock on the bench, then lay the Edge stock on top of it. Your Edge stock has that shelf the pin on your cocking arm needs to ride on and you can use it as the guide line for inletting that shelf on the new Striker stock.

Took the pic and came back to add it. Striker stock on the left, VMX stock on the right. The VMX arm actually needs less space in the slot due to the 2 piece cocking arm, so that slot is shorter. You'll have plenty of space for the cocking arm on yours once it's in the Striker stock and no mods needed for that part.

Okay. This is going to be trickier than previously anticipated with the model 95 stock. Mineral spirits will thin most stains, but not remove them once dried. I'm thinking of trying the medium lacquer thinner to remove it? I used it on the Kentucky kit rifle stock to raise the grain a bit before sanding with 600-grit emery paper to get more of the darker stain color out of the pores. I also found some lighter-colored wood putty under some stain on the " Turkish walnut?" Here's a few pics;

Well, the plot thickens! Dang it. I sanded down the one spot further, trying to take out some scratches/gashes, and found a light colored wood underneath it all?! Maple maybe? Doesn't look as light as the wood showing through the chips on the 1000x?

This is what a stripped and sanded Model 95 stock looks like, there is NO Maple in it, it's all Turkish Walnut and yes, it comes out quite light in color. I've done 2 of them, they both looked the same. As far as the white spacer like your Striker stock has, to the best of my knowledge, they don't make one for the 95 but you can do what I did and use Pachmayr butt pad spacers. I only used one on mine but you can always use 2 if you want it thicker. Third pic is the before and after of my first 95 stock with the white spacer.

I'm surprised walnut can be so light colored? So what finish/color of finish did you use to get it to look like it does? I've got a decent amount of Tru-Oil, and that's a sort of honey and maple syrup tone? And I inquired as to where to by the bulk material to cut those plates out of? And what did you strip the stain with, especially out of that great checkering job? * Back order on the white Pachmayr spacer. dang.

Post by: SteveP-52 on January 09, 2018, 03:45:55 PM
The stripper I used is Kleen Strip Premium Stripper, I got it at Ace Hardware but any gel type stripper should work just fine. The checkering can be cleaned out safely using a toothbrush style brass bristle brush, got mine in the discount aisle at Valu Homecenter and the 3 pack includes brass, nylon and wire versions.
The stain is Minwax Gunstock, also bought at Valu.

Nice numbers and very comparable to my Edge Vortex .22 although you might not want to spend a lot of time shooting the Gamo PBA's. That lightweight a pellet in a .22 springer is very likely going to cause piston slam, premature failure of your piston seal and may well do damage to the inside of chamber. You'll be rebuilding and tuning long before you want to.
Thanks for posting.

Post by: unionrdr on January 15, 2018, 12:44:24 PM
I mostly ran them through the Striker 1000x just to get the numbers. A lil too light for my liking. Mostly use them in the Crosman 160 Pellgun. Got the high number of 660FPS with redesigned valve. Going to get the XP tuned valve next for it. They claim it's good for 70FPS with their seals, which I used, along with some of Baker's.

Post by: mentolio on January 15, 2018, 07:25:15 PM
Those look like decent velocities and with good, useable extreme spreads (overall, obviously not so much the light-weights!), Leonard. Your 1000x is shooting about 30fps hotter than my Edge Vortex with Vortek seal (or do I have the Vs backwards?). I'll eventually get around to installing a standard Hatsan seal, and will expect my velocity numbers to climb a bit.

I'm surprised at how slow the Sniper Lights showed! I ran out of them before I could try them in my Edge, but I know my Benji Trail L-O-V-E-S them (for accuracy, anyway...never chronied them thru that gun either). I'll have to get some more of those buggers.

+1 on the "no light weights" in these guns...all of my Hattys MUCH prefer heavier pellets (.177 prefers 9 gr and up, .22s like 15 plus, and my .25 only likes 25gr and up).

Post by: unionrdr on January 16, 2018, 10:24:19 AM
With mine, it also depends on the design. The Beeman silver bear is slower than the Baracuda green, even though they both weigh 12.65gr? My Trail .25 got it's highest numbers with the 19.91gr FTT's. 858/32.55! The hornets in the Striker were 100FPS slower and more than 11FPE less @ 16.2gr.

And, as I'm sure y'all are waiting, I'll show you what's going on with the striker 1000x vs 95 stock and the 2 scope stop kits Hatsan gave me after I explained my problem. Gotta send them a link to this video to study my solution to help them;

Post by: SteveP-52 on January 20, 2018, 09:30:02 PM
If you haven't taken the butt pad off that 95 stock yet, when you do, you'll find 2 separate pieces: the rubber pad and a hard plastic spacer. If you want a white spacer, it only takes a can of white spray paint to paint that spacer and you have the white one you want without any hassle or surfing to try and find one. I did it on the 95 stock I refinished to put my 87QE .177 in and painted mine brass to go along with the custom brass plates I had made to say it's a Model 87QE.

Also a novel idea to sort out your scope walking problem, but so far, I think you're the only person I've seen on the forum that has it, so I'm pretty sure Hatsan doesn't have a problem, just you. I say that because I have a Striker .25 cal springer. I also have 3 Edges, 3 Webley Valuemax .20's and a Webley Specter .177.
Every one of those 7 rifles has the same action whether it be a Vortex piston or springer. Every one of them except the Striker which has a UTG offset mount, has a 2 piece ring set and every one of them uses 1 and only 1, scope stop plate and not a single one of them has walked on me in the 1000's of shots taken between them all.

For that matter, neither have my 2 95's, 2 87QE's or 3 Hatsan built Webley Tomahawks and they all have that same single scope stop plate setup and also all have 2 piece ring sets on them.

Between here and the Facebook airgun groups, several have complained about it's scope walk problem. At least on Facebook, anyway. And I manage some 7 groups now, 3 of which are mine. Anyway, I'm also going to add JB weld in the underside of the scope stop, "humps" to make them more crush resistant. And some polishing the grind marks and spot bluing.

Using the Simmons scope rings above, I found the front bell cap wouldn't go over the end. Not enough room. Looked through my small rifle parts box for some other rings, no go. 1 Hammers rail and 4 sets of high, see-through rings like Hatsan gives with their Optimus scopes. Too high. Then I remembered the Winchester rings I took off the 3-9x32 scope they gave me with the 1400cs. I'd used them with the Weaver V22-A scope on the 760 variant 4.So I swapped the Winchester rings onto the Striker 1000x, and the Simmons rings onto the 760 v4. Weaver Dual X is now a hair lower on the Powermaster variant 4, and the Hammers 3-9x32A) is a tiny hair higher on the 1000x, so now the caps barely fit.

Also, I finally got around to stripping the Hatsan 95 stock yesterday. Boy, what a messy job! Especially when you knock over the jar of Citristrip! But, got the first round done and cleaned up finally. Strip, scrape with spackling knife, then paper towels and green Scotchbrite pads to get the more stubborn spots. Foam brushes go limp really fast, then start dissolving apart over a short time. So out came the hog bristle trim brush. Way better control. Needs more spot touch up before final sanding, chopping and channeling to fit the barreled Striker 1000 action.

  Now, looking at the blocks of this wood wetted on top, and dry on the sides, you can see the dry sides look like my 95 stock sanded down. It has a lot of that medium-walnut grain character to it as well. If Tru-Oil can give me those colors, I'll just rub it with a few coats of Tru-Oil. It'd be beautiful! I'll have to find an inconspicuous place to test it.

Here are the color tone tests I did with Tru-Oil, and a Qtip. After cleaning it down to wood with the Dremel and a ss wire wheel. Cleans the sanding dust outta the grain and lightens the tone of the wood to a more natural one after sitting exposed to the air. This lighter Turkish walnut Hatsan uses seems to have a natural medium walnut tone to it. The darker stains/sealers used by them make a nice contrast filling for the pores in the wood. Can't wait to see what the darker grain streaks look like?! Anyway, here's a few photos;

You wanna bring out that grain, you might consider trying what another member did with tea. He used Green Tea, but if you swapped it for just regular tea, I'd think it would do quite the job bringing out those grains:

From what I saw with the Tru-Oil, the grain figuring will look great with a few coats of that. I don't want it darker or any funky tints. The back half or so has a lot more of that darker grain figuring than the front half where I tested it. To dark, and you risk matching the tone of the grain streaking and making it less visible, if at all, in my opinion.

I've been looking at the plastic-stocked Striker vortex .25cal at Hatsan USA. $169 dollars I'll use as a base for the modded 95 stock to striker .25 conversion. I'd also like to add a higher-pressure gas cartridge, but don't want a ton of cocking effort?

You aren't going to get a higher pressured Hatsan gas ram in the U.S., Hatsan USA won't sell them. You can get them from several places in Europe but you're looking at something like $50 plus whatever they charge you for shipping, which is International and will cost you more.
With a high pressure hand pump and a Hatsan fill probe, you can increase the the ram pressure and not have to get a higher powered gas ram. The one in the Striker is filled to 125 bar, but you also have to tear the rifle apart to do it as there's no hole in the receiver like the 95's have. You also have to be very careful doing it as filling it too much you run the risk of blowing the seals in the gas ram. I know this because I've done it twice now and blown the seals in both rams.
You could probably fill one to about 135 bar which is the same pressure the 125 and 135 models are filled to and not have any problems but the minute you do, you also increase the effort required to cock the rifle and also increase the recoil from the extra pressure in the ram which will put extra stress on everything in the rifle which wasn't built to shoot that hard. You may also run the risk of the trigger sear not holding the piston back with the extra pressure you just put in the gas ram if you try it or having it wear out faster from the added stress on it.

I was afraid of that being likely. Well, anyway, I'll have a custom .25cal at any rate. Already have a spare scope in mind for it. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Think of it like putting a 302 engine in a Pinto!
Sure it will go faster. For a little while. Until things start to break.

Just needed the then available frame connectors and a 4-point roll bar to stiffen it up a bit. Wanted to do that to my '74 Pinto turtleback. Anyway, it'll still be a cool, lighter pig gun.

All went well until it was revved to the REDLINE and dumped the clutch  ;D

Lol. I turned my '74 Pinto turtleback in a poor man's super stock with the 4 speed and 2.0L SOHC engine. Holley 2BBL, etc. It could pull the front wheels 1.5" at 4 grand. And those were lil boots and goodhides (ie A7813's and G6013 Goodyear rally GT's on Cragar SS rims. With air shocks and all. Still gotta find my miter saw in that junk pile garage to cut down the 95 stock. I named it, " LOCO PONY" after the comic strip indian in Tumble weeds.

I'm actually deciding that I may just fit the 95 stock to the Striker 1000 action as intended? It will look good, especially if the red rubber butt pad from the 1000x stock will fit the 95? And the 1000x and GuideHawk are virtually the same length and stocks the same length as well. And the .22 GuideHawk/Genesis has the same power too.
Striker 1000x far right, GuideHawk to it's left...

AAAALLLRIGHTY THEN! The long-awaited video part 2 of the Hatsan 95 stock conversion to Striker 1000x on Airgun Fan! I started this video last April, but all kinds of things happened since then. Sorry for the wait, but this is going to get done finally.

I'm working on the rifle once more and part 3 of the video series on it. I got the barreled action properly seated, the vertical height adjuster shimmed to allow it to sit all the way back in the stock and for the safety switch to clear the top of the grip. A couple other things as well. All in the upcoming video.

And here then is part 3 of the 95 stock to 1000x action on The Airgun Tinker!

I'm gathering up stuff I need to cut the foreword bolt hole plugs for the 95 before countersinking the 1000x holes which will overlap slightly. I also bought a 8" bench top drill oppress and 4" DP vice. Just need some wing nuts to mount the vice solid while working. Anyway, here's where it's at now;

While I try to get the right wingnuts, etc to finish the drill press/vice assembly, I made progress on, " the sisters". The Hatsan Striker 1000x .22 springer I paid $96 dollars for into the modded 95 stock. And the Edge .25 vortex I just won on eBay auction for $91 I dropped into the 1000x stock. I installed the same factory logo sling and swivel kit on the Edge 1000x as I did on the Striker 95.

I'm sorry I took so long getting back to this one. But the auctions got a hold on me! I'm much better now? Yeah, right. Anyway, Here's video part 4 that I've had in the works for far too long. My bad folks. But being retired can take a long time finding parts, tools, etc to do the job. We'll be finishing this one up soon.

And what it now looks like reassembled. I've dubbed it the Striker 1095XS;

After giving it some thought, I came to think dubbing it the 1095XS was an error. Looking back at how Winchester named the different levels of the model 70, I saw what that error was. So I renamed it the Striker 1000XS "S" for Supergrade, the top shelf version of the model 70. I was surprised that Hatsan USA didn't grab the idea and run with it. It looks way better and is cheaper to produce, as I outlined in my Email to them some time ago now.

I just received from Hatsan USA my Striker Wood Spring Combo .22. Gun looks great! I ran some 91% Isopropal alcohol down the barrel and finished with some Ballistol. There was some factory grease just under the breach I cleaned off. The whole gun was wiped down with Ballistol. I have a tin of H&N Field Target Trophy .22 14.66 gr pellets Iam going to try. I am going to shoot this with the sights for a while. I hear of the scope walk and will look into that down the road if I decide to scope this.

I may try to shoot later, I am hoping that it is not too loud for my neighbors. I thinking with all the factory grease and oil it may diesel. If that is the case and its too loud for my back yard I am going to take a drive up to NH and find some woods and shoot it there.

Did some shooting the past 2 days. First off...not that loud at all. No bang like a .22 rifle. So I am good to shoot in the back yard ;D I did get a tiny bit of smell of "smoke" after firing if I smell the barrel and tiny bit of smoke if I blow out the barrel. But honestly no issues. Trigger, yeah you have to get use to it. I am ok with it as I understand the quality of it. Accuracy is amazing. 36' and I can hit a group. I have it sighted for 12 yards as that's the distance in the back yard.
I did notice the rear sight slightly loose. After I shot the rife for the first time and was able to sight it in I did have to remove the top part to just snug down the phillips screw. Then I had to sight it back in  >:( But it did not take much to get it back to good group center target. H&N FTT 14.44 gr nice pellets but seem a tad tight at 5.53 I bought some JSB 15.89 gr JSB 14.3 gr 5.52 dia and some JSB 18.13 gr to try.
I plan to take it out in the woods soon when whether gets a little warmer.
No scope yet. I am ok with open sights for now. It's a solid feeling rifle, has some size to it. Maybe a little recoil and very little spring noise from my experience.
I wanted the Hatsan MOD 95 springer in .22 but No one has them in stock. ebay does but I am not much of a fan of buying off ebay...Though I have bought some new/used air rifles off it.
I ordered a Hatsan MOD 95 Springer .177 from Pyramid Air, returned it due to the stock. Nice color and finish but on the stock was a huge dark, assuming, wood grain that looked awful. It's had to buy online, just never know what you will get.

Well, after relocating the front screw hole, which I learned I didn't need to do, I still need to shape a bracket to use the screws to lock down the front of the assembly to the stock. Then I can shoot it again to compare accuracy with old & new stock.
