Page 4 - Hatsan FlashPup Reviews

Compact, powerful and accurate.

Beautiful gun. Great quality and extras for the price. Seems to be just as accurate as my marauder.

Many of the parts could have been deburred better.

Get plenty of pellets, it very fun to shoot.

Reasonable price. Reasonably quiet. Decent power. Multi shots

Quality and finish felt a bit poor. Bolt sucked.Trigger was extremely mushy, continually getting harder to shoot until it stopped working completely after two days. Fill probes are a joke in general and this one was difficult to fill with a hand pump.

Customer service is amazing and worked with me to exchange for a TalonP even though I had caused a bit of cosmetic damage to the flashpup before returning. Im beyond happy with the new gun. Id rather pay a slightly higher price to pyramid air just for the piece of mind. Bought items from other cheaper companies and have been totally screwed before. Never again

This was my first PCP air gun.I think it was a good first choice.The price point for a hard hitting 25 caliber I thought was a real bargain.I like the idea that its small and easy to carry.

Maybe the trigger.It was hard to get the creep out of it

The biggest thing that helped me with Understanding this Flashpup was you tube videos.I found a channel Brothers In Air the guy doing the videos has a Flashpup 25 cal and his videos are really informative.He walks you thru every thing you could possibly want to do to it.Ive learned a lot and have a lot more to learn.

Still playing with pellets but seems to like the Baracuda Hunter Extreme 28.24 the best. It will do well with lighter pellets but for what I need to use it for which is hunting Iguanas the heavier pellet weight is better. The weight is nice & seems to handle well for shooting @ 30 yards, I know this gun can do well @ 50 yards or further if needed. This gun seems to handle an assortment of pellets & adjusting your hammer spring helps a great deal, the only pellets it seems to not like are the Grizzley 31 gr.

would be nice if they came out with a better stock like the plastic-type that are on some of their other guns. when I sweat the stock gets wet & seems to get a haze to the stock. I would like to have something a little more durable for outdoor use & Even if they added $ 50 to the price it still be a good gun. Also be nice if they made the magazine to take the Polly Mag pellets so you wouldn't have to use the single-shot tray. Also, the cocking arm should be changed to a lever that gives a little more leverage, when you sweat the cocking lever is a little rough to cycle.

I turned the hammer spring up as when I did a crony test the 28.24 were shooting in mid 600s now I have it turned to upper 700 to low 800 FPS. The gun overall isn't bad the only thing that I really didn't like is the wood stock it doesn't seem good for any real rough use in the field & if you sweat the stock starts looking like shit & is hard to handle when cycling the pellets or magazine. This is my first Bull Pup type gun & although it is lightweight I find for anyone being in a humid area that the stock needs to be something other than wood.

Looks nice bolt is way too hard to draw back my wife could not fire it because of that I hope the bolt doesn't break because of that I would return it cause of that is it normal its really hard to to use it .I would give it a1 maybe 2 stars because of that very disappointed.

everything

heavy

excellent

Its a very powerful and accurate. Rifle love it

Nothing

The best pcp you can get for 400 bucks

It took me 3 tries but finnally i got one that worked. The original one PA sent me had a slow leak so i called PA and they had me send it back and they sent me another one. When i received the second one it also had a leak. So i called PA again and they sent me a 3rd gun and finally i got one that worked properly. And boy does it work! This thing is deadly accurate, powerful and silent great back yard pellet rifle!!! This PCP is amazing as long as you dont get a leaker.. Yes even though after what i went through i would still reccomend it cause when you do get one that works its simply amazing!!! Thanks Pyramid Air for having such great customer service and helping me resolve these issues. I am a PA customer for life....

The only things i would change on this PCP is that Hatsan needs to have better quality control and check all their guns for slow leaks before they are sent out of the factory to be sold.

Buy this PCP you will LOVE it!!!
The only reason i graded it a 3 is because of the first 2 guns leaking air if my first one didnt leak i would have graded it a 5 star for sure.

So far pretty much everything.

Sling studs.

For the money it is a must buy. Very flat out to 50yrds. with JSB Heavies 33 grn. With a little turning this will be a 45 fpe. hunting machine.

My interest in the flash pup was the weight, since my shoulders were replaced, and I cant carry a lot of weight.

The bolt, which is rough, but might ease up with age.

the .22 is great, and I had a surplussed of JSB diabolo might consider 25cal.

small, accurate and easy to use

The only things I like about this pcp is the accuracy, shooting comfort, small size.

It needs a total revamping of the magazine system. They SHOULD have used the all aluminum mags like they use on some of their other guns. That is all that is needed to turn this pcp into a 5 star winner

If you go through what I've gone through, you will become extremely aggravated trying to load pellets and then getting the magazine to line up properly in it's slot.

After reading several glowing reviews, I decided to purchase the .25 Hatsan Flashpup QE. I purchased this air rifle in December of 2018. I have found the Hatsan Flashpup QE to be an outstanding air rifle. To be honest with you, I have been pleasantly shocked at how accurate it is, how light it is, and how well it maintained air pressure even after 30+ shots. I purchased a UTG 4-16x40 AO Rifle Scope from Pyramid Air along with this air rifle. Once mounted and zero'd, at rest and with proper breathing technique, I have found it nearly impossible to miss a one inch target up to 70 yards away. It has worked well with one shot, one kill on a variety of creatures, including Canadian geese. I discovered I can actually choose which eye ball to hit at 70 yards. I usually shoot every day for the last few years and my go to air rifle has always been the .25 Benjamin Marauder. Not anymore. The Hatsan is lighter, more accurate, and a lot shorter. I give this air rifle a 10/10 rating.

The rubber bumper on the stock arrived so the bumper moves around. I simply have not taken the time to take it apart to see what the problem is. It may be a missing screw. PA offered to replace the air rifle if I sent it in, but it works perfect for my needs and I dared not return it for something I can easily fix.

I always had to be super careful with my Benjamin Marauder because any bumps to the barrel/shroud and it would easily throw off the sights. With this Hatsan that is no longer a problem. Also, carrying a significantly heavier air rifle through the forest began to become uncomfortable for longer periods of time such as hunting turkeys, etc. The Hatsan is super light for my build and strength and I could carry it for hours if need be.

I still have not attached an extra hand grip up front, but I would like to one day. I feel that would make carrying the Hatsan even easier.

Filling the 10 pellet magazine is a bit more challenging than the Marauder, but after a while I got used to it and it is no longer a challenge.

This .25 Hatsan Flashpup QE is the best air rifle I have ever shot and used on a daily basis. I own any small game or bird within 70 yards. With super careful breathing technique and at rest, 100 yards shots are also incredibly accurate. At $299 nothing beats it!

Accurate shot 1 inch group at 100 yards out of box

Great for the money it likes jsb pellets

Good velocity over a 40 shot string. Quiet, accurate and light weight

Make it a side lever instead of bolt

Great value for 399 bucks. Deadly accurate

Accurate and hard hitting out of box

Sling studs

This is a hunting machine

Every thing I have 4 rifles and this is my favorite the precision of this gun is right there. I can make 7 shots in a quarter sized hole at 50 yards with the air arms 16 g pellet. I love this gun I wan to get one in 25 cal next

Nothing for the price range. Keep up the good work hatsan

I bought the 22 cal and getting more power than advertised. With H&N Baracuda I am getting almost 900fps and could get more with hammer adjustment (37.43 ft-lbs). Baracuda have also been my most accurate. 1/4" 5 shots at 20 yards. Crosman Premier HP are not bad at 20yrds to get in target practice. I also liked the Piledriver 5/8" at 20 yards but first shot was off - 3/8" with 4 shots. I liked the short length, light feel, distribution of weight, fill prob being the same as Bullboss, single shot tray, QE back yard friendly sound, Picatinny rail top and bottom (Picatinny a must for me), pressure gauge on the side, and Quattro Trigger is great!

I would have liked a poly shock in lieu of the wood. Wood scratches to easy. My stock came with factory defect a spot that looked like they used steel-wool to clean a stain booger off then sealed the stock before fixing the light spot. More air capacity (but that would change the length). Better mag's. Both of mine hang up when loading pellets into the chamber. I like the Bullboss mags but would make those as thick as Flash mags and equip both rifles with the easy to load mags.

First adjust your trigger to how you like it, then the hammer spring. I learned that from setup of Bullboss. It shot without pulling the trigger because I adjusted hammer first then trigger. Then the hammer would not stay cock after miss fire because the trigger was set too light. Also adjusting the trigger seems to affect the air rifles power (both Hatsan's). Four stars overall because there is room for improvement with the stock and mags. Four stars for Accuracy may be unfair as I have only shot at 20 yrds and have used 9 different pellets. Best in order for me Baracuda, Piledriver, Premier HP, Sniper, Eun Jin (not the pointed ones). Bad ones for me Crow Mag, Field Target, Rabbit Mag, Ruger Super Point

Heavily built, reliable, quiet... easy to mod

Easier ordering of parts from hatsan versus current parts request system. Throw up an online store for those bits already. Notify your factory to lessen the depth of the routing of the inside of the butstock. Had a hairline crack on either side of the rear mount screw. Easily repaired but QC!

Throw in a huma regulator, dial your hammer to 6 turns. Squirrel Devastator.
