New Hatsan Striker 1000x .22

[unionrdr]

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 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.
