Hatsan 1000S Reviews

Everything

Add extra breach seals in the box

Great product unfortunately my breach seal started going bad but thats just part of the hobby mine did not start really shooting took about 200 and tune in a tube is what I call minatory for the reason it seems to removed all the harmonics that causes poor accuracy my chronograph JBS 7.8 before averaged low 938 high 956 after low 942 high 946 that I believe makes a huge difference hope this helps and go ahead and order one of the long lasting aftermarket breech seals.

Amazing accuracy

Wish I would have got it in 22 so keep that in mind if you’re like me coming from a centerfire rifle 177 are very tiny or remember to order a pallet pan

Stock is going to feel hollow so it needs to be filled its extremely accurate out to 50 yards talk about 200 pallets to break in in came on the dry side lube before firing biggest warning at 18 yards three-quarter inch piece of pine it penetrated all the way through so they are extremely powerful Just a warning now for the trigger the trigger on mine arrived factory set at good enough With the conditions perfect Im able to hold 5 inch groups at 100m at 50m this rifle very easily holds 3/4 of an inch groups and thats awesome so my break down is If you want a rifle not straining the cock that has power that’s extremely accurate and seems to be very well-built I would be hard-pressed not to recommend this product it’s amazing

Just about everything

Trigger take it from ok to good

Extremely accurate easy the cock

Is a is a good-looking gun

The gray rubber inserts make the grip too thick to grab you have to have very big hands. And it is very very hard to cock and the trigger feels like a cheap piece of tin. It has the worst trigger out of any of the guns that I own and I have 20.

I would not buy this gun again

Powerful accurate

Noisy noisy like hammering on an anvil, its a springer

Stick to you 22 and 900 fps from a nice Benji xl trail, beyond these it's pcp time if more power and accuracy is req

I have the beech stock version in .25 cal. The power is awesome and it shoots one-hole groups @ 10m.

Rear notch in fiber optic sight is too narrow, and front globe is too small. Front sight is not removable. Rear sight becomes loose at higher elevations.

You will get a workout cocking this gun, but not as much as with the 135. Also, this gun weighs 2lb less. Not suitable for women or teens. Finish not as good as a Beeman. Knowing what I know now, I would try to get this rifle with the gas piston, walnut stock, and Quattro trigger. Included scope is OK, but I installed a Beeman scope, which has correct parallax and is reinforced for the double recoil found on heavy springers. Center fire scopes don't work. .177 in powerful airguns is not as efficient as the larger calibers.

very impressed my new favorite rifle

nothing

have a good backstop very powerful

amazing air rifle...solid gun.well built

notting to change

go get it

Air gun is not too heavy which is what I needed and it looks good. Spring time is slow to arrive here and only had one time I could test fire the air gun. Which made a mess of a tin can. Now starting to warm up hope to get outside and shoot it more.

Make a see through scope mount giving the shooter an option of which sight to use for whatever circumstance may arise.

Iron sights are dead on. Scoped rifle was not too accurate. Air gun is tight and not loosen up yet. After I shoot more with the air rifle I am sure the scoped rifle will be much more accurate. I really like the air gun.

The .22 cal 1000S was my first introduction to the world of high powered air rifles. I purchased the rifle to inexpensively find out if hunting rabbits was a hobby I would like to further pursue. Hatsan, as a brand came highly recommended and for the price, the 1000S is a great value. Up to this point I could not be happier with every aspect of the rifle and have been successfully slaying rabbits since I got the rifle. I have yet to find a pellet inside a rabbit as they enter and exit completely. I rarely take shots over about 30 yards with Destroyers and this rifle gets the job done!

The rifle does have a very springy sound when fired and the trigger has plenty of creep but is at least adjustable. I never used the scope that came with the rifle but I should have bought a scope more powerful than 4 power magnification. I will buy at least a 12 power scope with an illuminated reticle. For the $95 price tag, I would change nothing about this rifle and will keep it for ease of use despite my intentions of purchasing a Benjamin Marauder pistol. Great doomsday rifle that puts food on the table.

This is a great entry level rifle that comes from a reputable manufacturer. Don't be cheap with the optic you use, it makes the biggest difference. Don't be surprised by the presence of recoil from this rifle and a very "springy" sound when fired. I believe this rifle shoots 14.3 grain hollow points at around 650 FPS. This is plenty for small game at close ranges. After using this rifle for a season, I am going to upgrade to a .22 cal Benjamin Marauder pistol and tune it to shoot 14.3's at 720 FPS.

good weight, accurate, price, cocking effort.

trigger is not the best but manageable for off hand shooting at varmints and plinking.

Seems to like RWS superpoint, nothing in Crosman. Good power and accuracy for a low priced springer.

The trigger is metal, not plastic. Te gun feels solid, not hollow. Once sighted in I had an idea where the pellets would land.

The scope is not the best. scope on Crosman is much clearer.

Great buy for the price.

The gun is solid. Once it was sighted in, it was dead on. It was easier to shoot than my Crosman Varmint .22 Nitro. You can tell when the pett hits the target. It makes more impact noise than my .177 and .22.

The scope is not much better than the factory Crosman scopes.Higher FPS for more muzzle energy.

Finding accurate pellets is a bit difficult, but I found two that match up very well. the .22 JSB Diabolo (15.89 g) and Bejnamin Discovery (14.3) are both very good with accuracy. Standing, no scope, no support, and I can hit within an inch very consistently at 25 yards. Considering I'm a novice shooter and still improving..... that means these are very accurate. JSB Diabolo 15.89: fits secure, flies true, very accurate Bnjmn Discovery 14.3: fits a tad tight, flies a little low, very accurate JSB Diabolo 13.~ grams: fits secure, flies very low, extremely accurate RWS Field Line Round: fits secure, flies very low, accuracy...... debatable.

Scope in itself was ok, but at least in my model, I adjusted it all the way and it still wasn't enough. As everyone else says, the bipod isn't good - it's rather low and doesn't adjust. The rifle itself is excellent quality - far greater than what I'd have expected for just $120. Awesome for training. My only gripe is that I don't like how the front sight has the circle around it. Looks awesome, but gets in the way of seeing bigger targets.

The screws in the scope stop might come loose (one did for me, easy fix though), but the screws holding the rifle together have been good up to now after a thousand shots. If you're looking for a competition rifle, you should probably invest more, but if you need a good training rifle to get better at mastering trigger pull and sight picture, this one's a great choice with a competitive price.

The light weight, TruGlow sights, The included scope, the great price, the velocity rating with lead pellets, the accuracy

For the price this gun is great.

The trigger has a long pull, but once you get used to it, it is fine. For the price this is a great shooting gun.

The German steel barrel. That's about it. I like Pyramid Air, good folks! They didn't build this gun, they just sell it. I should have sent it back on the 30 day warranty, My fault !

Build a better stock, better trigger, more after market parts, better scope stop position. Improve accuracy past 15 yards. Back the junk you build without a big hassle! I know this is only a $119 gun, but My Ruger Blackhawkk Elite was only $98.00 and has better stock, far more accurate! Shoots super groups out to 40 yards and has a superior trigger! And it's built in China! Spend a few extra dollars and buy a Benjamin Trail or Gamo or Crosman. You will be dollars ahead!

I am not a teenager. I'm a 55 yr old air gunner and above average break barrel shooter. That being said, I am not happy with Hatsan. I got the .25 cal. Accuracy out to 15 yards is great. By 20 yards it,s not that great. I shot it through my chrony Jsb exact king 25.4 gr @ 589 fps. 19.5 fpe. After owning the gun 6 months the stock cracked at the front stock screw to the top of the stock. Hatsan will warranty it if they decide it's a manufacture flaw. B.S! The stock is brittle plastic crap! not strong at all! I have learned this happens on some of these guns by reading blogs and on you tube. I have purchased 11 different tins of .25 pellets, and two scopes trying to get this thing to shoot a good group @25 yards. Not happening! My Ruger Blackhawk Elite, Gamo Bone Collector and Benjamin Trail NP will shoot circles around this piece of junk Hatsan! The scope stop is too far forward which doesn't allow the scope to come back as far as you may like. Live and Learn! I don't reccomend Hatsan

this is an incredible gun for the money, right out of the box, you can see & feel the quality workman ship on this.25 cal gun, this is truly the best & most power springer gun deal any where period, the scope is nice, the gun does have some kick & noise to it, which I like alot, & shot very dead" straight, I would buy this again in a heart beat, & pick this over any & I mean, "any" other spring on the market, pluss its cheaper priced as well, buy this gun, you'll not regreat it one bit,

nothing, im totally pleased with the gun & the awesome price I paid!

Lets just say I'm not an AG "snob". I own a .22 trail NP, Gamo silent cat, crosman raven, 57' blue streak and a 880 and crosman raven. So I will be fair and not say "well is no diana, etc" obviously no, it's not. I will be comparing my opinions of my particular hatsan 1000s striker .22 rifle to the ones I own and my experience with them. The rifle arrived on time and was packed well. I like the overall shape and feel of this rifle. The cocking joint mechanism is different then i am use too. It is connected from the barrel to the cocking mechanism I guess you would say. It consists of 1 solid metal bar instead of my other rifles that have a 2 piece cocking bar that fold in. This makes it feel heavy duty and with less moving parts seems like it will last longer, but makes cocking torque somewhat heavier. Shoots harder then my trail NP which was surprising. I got the 10 for 10. Using RWS hobbies it produced 1015 fps first shot!

I noticed the bluing on mine was not really up to par and pretty uneven. That was kinda a bummer. I also couldn't get any groups at first and I even started with an upgraded scope and cleaned prior (lots of gelled grease everywhere btw). I looked down the barrel and in front of the muzzle was a large piece of scrap plastic molded to the barrel. That kinda sucked to remove safely. Also that made me think that they don't have a quality control lol. They say it is a good step up from a youth gun.. I dunno about that. It cocks harder then the guns I own even after being broke in. It is also from heavy and puts a lot of weight on your forward hand. It's lighter in weight yes but I can shoulder my trail (about 10 pound w scope) way easier.

Shoots very accurate once broken in and very hard. I get around 780 now w crosman domed 14.3. Heavy duty long lasting feeling but you may take a chance w/ a random quality issue. I recommend highly this gun for anyone looking for under $150 rifle. And you know there is the usualy complaints about this product. such as the trigger/loudness but all are reasonable. I would trade my $160 gamo for another one. Not a youth gun or really entry level. A mans gun with above average build and power.

Ease of use, lightweight, accurate. I own the big brother to this gun also the 125 sniper in .25 cal and I must say this little Guy is much more forgiving to shoot than the sniper.I got this gun for my nephew he loved my sniper but was a bit much for him. He loves this gun. As do I. Other than the hollow twang in the buttstock. Expandable foam will be a quick fix. Also crossman ultra mags were too big for the breech. I also have a Winchester ws1028 that is an absolute dream. That's rite. A cheap Winchester. I have done a little work to it but all in all I just lucked out with it. But I put that gun down to shoot the striker. Its just fun. Sighted it in with 10 shots and its held for 200 or so now. Shoots a very respectable 3/4 group at 20 yards and will improve. I feel the sniper was overpriced and this little gem was a steal. I feel I should buy 2more just invade they discontinued them. LOL. Young or old male or female big or small. You'll enjoy it.

Hollow buttstock, poor blueing, overnight on the back porch on a humid night and it showed surface rust. and the breech seal needed shimmed but no biggie. Well worth the 120 bones.

I feel this is the best value on the site. Have shot a wide array of springers and own some quality and some throwaways. And I still enjoy to shoot it.

The curved trigger pulls my finger to the same position every time. The adjustable pull weight of the trigger is a great option, I have mine "tweaked in" just right for me. The scope is really nice for a rifle/scope combo and the open sights are excellent, (I used them for quite a while before I got the eye relief issue with the scope resolved). The weight and balance of the rifle is just about right for unsupported shooting. I also like the automatic safety.

The scope stop holes need to be located further to the rear of the dovetail for better eye relief of. The chamber is a little too tight, I've had problems with pellet skirts being mangled because I couldn't seat them far enough down inside the chamber. These two issues are reason I gave this gun 4 stars overall. The overall rating is really 4.5 because these issues have been successfully resolved, but they did cause a little aggravation.

The pellets that I've had the best success with so far a Benjamin Discovery 14.3 gr hollow points (.22), they shoot just as accurately, if not better, then some of the more expensive ones I've tried. I've had this gun for about a year now and I've spent enough time both shooting it and experimenting with adjustments on it that I've really developed a fondness for it and would highly recommend it. It is definitely one of my favorites and high on my list of go to guns when I go out shooting.
