Pinty Striker Compact Bullpup MKII

Out of the box the fit finish is absolutely wonderful.
Sighting in was quick and easy. At 25 yards I was putting pellets in one hole.
I was active duty the last time I shot a rifle this accurate.
If you’re on the fence about this gun like I was, just do it. My only regret is not buying one sooner.
I can’t wait for my next day off to take it squirrel hunting.

I spent a lot of time looking for the right .22 air rifle before choosing the Pinty Striker Compact Bullpup MKII. I wanted something compact, powerful, with a good shot count, and most importantly, something that used affordable .22 pellets I could easily find at Walmart or other local stores instead of having to order specialty ammunition online.
The Striker checked those boxes.
I normally shoot inexpensive 14.3-grain Crosman pellets, and I'm getting roughly 31 to 32 foot-pounds of energy. For my needs, including pest control around my property and squirrel hunting, that's been a great combination of accuracy, power, and affordability. I can also confidently get around 40 good shots from a fill.
A few days ago, it got a real-world test. A groundhog had decided the area underneath my outdoor storage building belonged to him. I tried scaring him away, but he kept coming back and digging. Then I started noticing chew marks and potential damage around the supports underneath the building. At that point, the Striker did exactly the job I bought it for.
What has impressed me most is how solid the rifle feels. It has some weight, but in a good way. It doesn't feel cheap. The cocking lever is smooth, the magazine inserts and removes easily, and I've had no problems cycling pellets into the barrel. Mine has also proven very accurate for hunting.
So why four stars instead of five? The magazine. I prefer a magazine I can top off whenever I want. When hunting, I like keeping my magazine loaded so I know exactly where I stand and reduce the chance of accidentally dry-firing when an opportunity appears. I'll probably eventually pick up an aftermarket magazine that better fits that preference.
Other than that, I have very few complaints. If you're looking for an affordable, compact .22 PCP bullpup with good power, a useful shot count, solid construction, and the accuracy needed for pest control and small-game hunting, the Striker MKII offers a lot for the money.
I searched for hours before buying mine, and for what I needed, I think I made the right choice.

I find the Striker to be a very accurate bullpup, compact and light weight.

I bought the Pinty Striker Compact in .22, and I LOVE IT. The quality is phenomenal. The regulator works great, it has a high shot count, and good FPS. Great quality. I love Pinty. I got the Striker Compact in .22 along with the hand pump, all for like $250. You can't beat it. I want this company to go far, I really do. I'd love to be an affiliate, but I don't really have much of a following. I will be doing great reviews on my Pinty's though. :) Great customer service. They've always been kind and helpful. I really wish I could work with Pinty. :( I legitimately want their company to go far because your "Chinese-made guns" are better than most "name brand" PCPs in the $600-$800 range. If you guys release a .30 or a semi-automatic, I will buy it right away and review it on YouTube. :) Thanks again, Pinty, you guys are awesome!

Excellent bullpup very accurate I purchased the 25 caliber this time. I also own a 22 caliber and it shoots excellent too. Thanks Pinty great guns.

Love it! Had a little hiccup during shipping, so it took about 2 weeks to arrive, but it finally arrived and I love it! The Pinty team was very helpful throughout the whole process. I bought this in .22 (I wanted .25, but it wasn't available for the gun/pump combo), and it's awesome. Very quiet and powerful, feels very well-made too!

I recieved my new Mk.2 Stryker .25 on Tuesday. Thanks to storms, I wasn't able to test it out until this morning. It came 3/4 way full of air, and sat for 2 day, no leaks. I filled it up this morning, and got all set up those morning at 25 yards to give it a run, and zero a new scope I already had. This thing absolutely shot like a dream. 4 full magazines and 7 from 5th before falling off the regulator. The cocking handle and trigger both are huge improvements as well. No gritty feeling, no crunching sound when loading. I absolutely love this little rifle. Trash pandas and armadillos are gonna hate it! See the pics for shot string and chrony results.

The Pinty Striker - 9 Pellet .22 Cal PCP Air Gun, 5.5/6.4 mm High Power Air Gun.
is an impressive entry level pre-charged pneumatic air rifle that delivers far more performance that the price suggests.
One of the biggest advantages of this gun, is its affordability and accuracy and not picky on ammo. One can purchase the cheapest ammo and still get the highest accuracy in its performance to an extent if you can take brace yourself well you could actually shoot in the same one-hole not larger than 6 mm.
Shot count:
One could shoot approx. 15 MAGS without a refill; as in one tank would be sufficient.
I have shared the links below of the videos I took to see the performance of this PCP Air Rifle.

Purchased the Stiker in .25. It's sweet having a 22" barrel in a compact format. Filled with compressor and let set for a few days to leak test. All good so far. About 100 rounds through it with JSB Exacts 25grain. Sighted in nicely and the Buckrail moderator dampens the bark. Looking forward to receiving my pre-ordered Buster.

I purchased the Striker in .25 Caliber, and I must say I am very impressed. Shoots better than some airguns that are twice the price! I highly recommend getting one if you are considering getting into PCP rifles!

Awesome Bullpup, Exceptional Customer Support!
My first Striker .22 is really good with accurate barrel. 8 shots using JTS 18 grainers and 8 hits on my KYL target at 34 yards with glass set at 24 power magnification, benched. Unfortumately it came with a bad leaking receiver. Tested it with paper strip on top of the receiver with cheek rest removed and air is gushing out blowing the paper strip away. I emailed Pinty Customer Support and they sent me a replacement new unit! My replacement one shows very good accuracy even though the barrel is still in the break-in stage. Shooting from inside the house to the backyard range since we are still buried in snow here in NY. No leaks, passed the paper strip test at the receiver and I set the trigger similar to the first one. Light and short first stage, crisp break on the second stage...and it breaks clean. Pinty's customer and technical team are excellent! Shout out to Thiago, Annie and the rest of the team! They are exceptional beyond any airgun manufacturer I ever experienced in my 18 years of airgun hobby. I believe such exceptional customer support like theirs should not be left unnoticed. One happy and grateful customer here. You earned my admiration and gratitude guys! Looking for more PCP models from your company in the future!
Update: I tested the Striker last weekend on a newly spray painted KYL target, 8 shots, 8 hits with JTS 18.1 at 16 power on scope with a Tatsu can at the tip, 34 yards. This replacement one is as accurate as the first one. It really likes JTS 18s and HN Barracuda match 21gr the best. AA18s follow closely and JSB 18s for 3rd spot. I'm not gonna post velocities because different chrony have different readings. I love it in the 880s to 920 max. 18 to 21 grainers are the way to go for my Striker.

I purchased this to use on my YouTube channel KY Rimfire and Airguns. I am very impressed in how well it shoots. It has a very smooth action. The accuracy is on point! The 24x Pinty scope I chose also impressed me with very clear glass and quality. You won’t be dissatisfied if you chose a Pinty. I liked it so much I went an found me a used Pinty NightStalker.

Don't hesitate to buy this beautiful bullpup rifle! This thing is an absolute beast for the price and I cannot recommend enough!

This Pinty Striker .22 cal is awesome! Lots of gun for the money, verry accurate with JTS 18 gr and Air Arms 18. Even the 14.3 gr CHP shoots accurately good. I can forgive the not so easy to load magazine and switched to Big Air Precision mag. But no complains for me, it's an excellent bullpup that competes on higher priced ones. And also it has one of the best trigger in bullpup guns. I adjusted mine to my liking.

Gun is great, made with high quality pieces, very little plastic on it anywhere.
I’ve gotten the gun dialed in with multiple scopes so far, and it’s hard to find a scope/pellets accurate enough to match the gun. Very comfortable and Well balanced. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get into pcp’s without spending too much. Customer service was also great, they honored a coupon code that came out after my purchase, which was amazing to say the least. Quick responses, taking the time difference into consideration.
I will advice, in my picture you can see a barrel band with a bipod, DONT do that, it totally throws off the guns accuracy cause the pressure it puts on the barrel, leave it free floating and find another way for attachments.

Very pleased with the looks, the feel, and the performance of the Striker. The .25 straight out of the box is shooting a 26g JSB at 850fps.
