good review
When you said ".....power reset by the importer...." what exactly do you mean?
New spring, coils cut off, tuned, new rifle, turned button up a notch?
Please explain.
I am thinking of a Hatsan .25 cal and I would like to know what to expect.
Many thanks.

Hi, as I said in the origonal post when I first got it & chrono'd it it was only just making
9lbft the importer agreed that this was below acceptable limit so it went back to be adjusted up to around 11.5lbft.
Frankly I have no idea what they did, but they said it was set to factory specs, so maybe someone just left out a washer behind the spring,
It was not tuned, just put as it should have been from the start.
What you should expect is a perfectly cappable, workman like rifle, with a pretty basic trigger & few rough edges, but still good value for money & enjoyable to shoot.
If you want top quality you're going to have to pay more than £110!

Nice review although the power problem you had was frustrating but glad you got it sorted. I bought one of these with the walnut stock "Striker X" .25 a few months ago. Chronoed at the shop useing marksman pellets at 11.2ftlb and has since gone up to 11.3ftlb. I bought 1000 Marksman no3 pellets (it seems everyone you speak to who has owned this gun recommends these ), and found the weights on my pellet scales to average 19.2 grains with only a small variance. Fitted with a red dot scope it is great fun to shoot. I find the trigger a bit creepy so will be fitting a WW HST trigger upgrade shortly.
mmm im liking .25 so far i have built a .25 custom ultra for my rat and feral work and it is doing a VERY fine job....i can link anyone to my build thread on another forum if interested pm me.

I have only read good things about the Striker in General straight from the box a good rifle (for the price), there is some intresting tuning kits available as well, delrin top hats and guides, XTitan springs etc, bought as a kit really helps take a lot of the Twang out and makes for a very tight, flexible hunting tool . I have seriously considered the .22 for a hunting springer as I mainly have CO2 at present.
Live long, Die Oblong, but not for a long time yet.
The whole world smiles in the same language.
Any owners want to give an update of the rifles or any others in 25 ?
