Other Which is the best gun?

---

I am looking for a suitable airrifle for hunting/target practice.I have found 3 guns within my budget.

I new to air rifles so I do not have quite the knowledge to distinguish which is a better option for me.
Can anyone give me a clear explanation on what is the best option?Pros and Cons?Reliabiltiy and Consitency.

What do we need to do to service air rifles?

Here are the guns-Artemis SR1000S
Hatsan Striker 1000S
B3-P air rifle

Scopes are included btw

The Hatsan 95 can be had for pennies more than the striker. I have several. They are solid guns with the Quattro trigger. A good place to start for someone new and learn how to tinker on one. Do not know about the other two. Here are three 95’s that I turned into carbines. One is a spring and the other two are the Vortex gas ram. 177, 22, 25 respectively. All really good shooters with a 1 1/2 lb trigger.

Hi,The shops in our country have very limited amounts of air rifles and I dont think they have any of the above mentioned and also we cannot buy air rifles online :O.Does anyone know about the other two guns so I can choose one from that?

I'd have to think the hatsan maybe better if you need a spring or seal availability.. that stuff is fairly easy to find and get for long term upkeep.. I would kinda avoid the gas ram hatsan . My luck on them been 50/50 of the ram just going flat out of the blue .. ( opinion ). If they were spring easy fix . The gas rams work great if it stays working ..lol


Anyway if getting a guns hard to do in your country then look at ones you can easy get the rebuild/ tune parts . ( mainspring, piston seal , breech seal).

The striker is a good gun. The trigger can be made pretty nice with a longer adjustment screw added. It’s a solid choice. The spring model would be best as mentioned.

Although I have no knowledge of any of those airgun the best advice so far comes from @Hateful McNasty. Get one that is easy to get parts for and get fixed since it seems difficult to get airguns in your country.

Al right,thanx a lot for the advice given,Is a gun with a Wood stock or a gun with a poly better?

I will definitely look for a gun that is easier to find parts

Ya, sucks to have one go down or you want to tune it and find you can't..(cough,Gamo, cough). That and most hatsan springers springs and seals are easy finds and gets/ order .. and not expensive.. good upkeep chances (opinion)

Ok,can you tell whether a wood stock or a plolymer stock is better?

 

[Bear-of-Grayling]

I have have composite stocks in the bargain range actually start to decompose. Melt down. So I would advise a wooden stock.

Isnt a polymer stock better than a wooden stock cause it wont degrade easily??

 

[Bear-of-Grayling]

Never has a wooden stock degrade.

Read the response from BOG. The quality of the synthetic stock may very well depend on the price range you are looking in.

can you travel to another country ? buy and bring back as luggage ? Following your country laws as to power and caliber ?

 

[beerthief]

ON LINE : their seem to be no laws pertaining to air guns . Maybe you can have a shop that has air guns order the one you like for you ?

Yes,I will try that for sure,thanx for the advice

I have heard from one or two of my friends that polymer is better than wooden due to the polymer not getting damaged as a wooden stock when using it outdoors and that it does not need much maintancece

My buddy has a model 95 in .22 and it's a well made accurate rifle.
