    Default Hatsan Striker 1000s Opinions

    I got myself a Hatsan Striker 1000s air rifle from Huntex at a great show special. Any views on this rifle?

    I want to do target shooting and some hunting.

    What pellets for hunting?
    Effective range for hunting?

    I use gamo pro-magnum as they are cheap and accurate enough for me and they do the job well.

    Hunting with an Airrifle is illegal. Pest control is reconed to be another matter , if you do intend to de pest control, use the same pellets that you use for terget shooting. AirArms Field or JSB is best.

    Good . It is best to use the same pellets for pest control that you use for target practice. If you are serious about getting the best accuracy out of your Hatsan get good pellets .

    A tin of 500 AA field or JSB exact pellets should set you back about R120 - 150 , depending on where you get them.

    That is about 3-4 times what you will pay for other brands , but they are truly worth it. Some Crosman pellets are also good.

    If you really want to get into airguns it might be worthwhile to read up a bit into a dedicated airrifle forum, airrifle.co.za or airgunsports.co.za are good starting points.
