Power Cost Look Accuracy Support

None!

I think this is a great entry PCP air gun. It's our first PCP and we love it. We are beginner shooters and were able to make 1" five shot groups from 25 to 30 yards.

I purchased the .25 caliber model and my deal included a 3-12x50 scope. Fantastically powerful and light weight. With the included scope, you get tremendous value. I'm a terrible marksman so I won't speak to accuracy - I'm waiting for the weather to warm and I'll cobble together a sighting range.

As mentioned by others, the bolt is a bit rough but I imagine this will work itself out with use.

The magazine took a bit of figuring out. This is my first pass with such a device and apparently I'm not that bright. I managed to inadvertently get the shroud loose from the barrel. Thank goodness for YouTube - have a 14mm socket and extension handy. Hmmm now I know how to pull the baffles to "loud" this gun up a bit.

Super-compact,well-balanced and controllable. Comes right up and shoulders cleanly. The butt stock bends in either direction. This review is for a refurbished product.

If I find it I'll let you know I'm only 400 pellets in.

This gun is so light. Even a heavy UTG balances well. And before you cry about how small the forail is, choke up on it grab the barrel, a maul grip keeps it dead still.

Ease of handling, hard hitting power, a breeze to reload & operate

Nothing comes to mind...

Is a little louder than I expected, but the muzzle is closer to your ears, so not a real surprise

The flashpup is light,powerfull,and accurate. a great shot count out of the box. if you are shooting slugs, and it shoots the fx slugs very well, all you have to do is give the hammer spring more tension.. pretty easy to do that. ive modified mine so all i have to do is remove the butt pad.. for those that dont have a chrony i would give it two turns counter clock wise. there are videos on you tube..

The gun would be much better with a side lever. the cocking is quite stiff somewhat cumbersome. basically the guns only shortcoming.

this is my first pcp and i do love it.. but you will need to break it down from time to time. i would recommend a thorough cleaning of the action to remove excess grease. some loctite on the bolt screw. mine come loose several times. and you have to watch out for a too light trigger pull the gun will fire unintentionally due to it not catching. mine was fine for a while but i think a little wear and then the problems started.. tighten up the pull a bit and problem solved.. the gun meets and exceeds my expectations for its price..oh its super quiet.. its not regulated but in my opinion would not help this gun it is very consistent, and the reservoir is not big enough to justify it

Nicely put together Bullpup

Nothing

This is a Great little rifle . I do not notice the one pound weight difference between the wood version vs. synthetic. This thing is very light weight even with a scope . I had to tweak out some things like the scope rail was slightly off . Clean your gun before shooting and it breaks in just fine . I would recommend this rifle to all .

I love the Flashpup, got the .25 cal and this thing is a tack driver. I've had it several days now and just can't put it down. I've put several hundred rounds through it already. It's very quiet as is, but I put a Donnyfl Sumo moderator on it and it is whisper quiet. But then I wanted to shoot rats and night pests so I put a ATN X Sight 4K Pro on it and this is a killing machine. Rats, racoons, possums, pigeons,doves. Just about anything. It's very light and the synthetic stock is indestructible. The rail under the barrel is great for my bipod, The Flashpup is fun to shoot. I'm glad I went with the syn version since I don't have to worry about banging it up. It shoulders great, the bolt feels good, and I get a good 20-25 reliable shots before I top it off.

Hatsan needs to address the optics rail. Everyone has said how you need to shim the rear a tiny bit to bring poi down enough to get a good zero. This takes a couple minutes and very easy to do.

This really is a nice bullpup design. Hatsan calls it an entry level pcp bullpup, I have a BullBoss and I like this one better, so don't let the lower price full you, it's a quality air rifle and fun to shoot.

I freaking love this version of the Flashpup! I have it in 22 and removed the shroud to add shorten it and add a moderator. Getting around 24 good shots with the 18.3 grain JSB and it is dead accurate. Total length with moderator is 32 inches and 24 inches without it and shroud. Gonna see how polymags and the hades perform next.

The bolt. It started off pretty gritty but I noticed metal shavings inside the action and got those out of there. After that and about 100 more shots the bolt action is smooth now.

You will need to shim the back part of the railing to get basic scope mounts enough elevation to shoot high.

This is a pretty incredible little rifle. My first Hatsan, first .177 pcp. I was not entirely sure what to expect. It is a tack driver. Large capacity mags, compact, fairly ergonomic fit even being a lefty, not incredibly pellet picky. I am getting my best groups with JSB 13 gr. One hole @25yds. This gun is made to pack around and hunt. My new truck gun.

Sling studs would be nice, but easily added. Butt pad adjusts but not enough. Not really worth moaning about.

I love this gun. My big challenge is getting the accuracy this rifle is capable of. Great offhand shooter. .22 hunting power in a .177. Seems to be built like a Volvo and up for being used like a hunting tool and not a white glove gun. That is exactly what I wanted. Shim your rear scope mount because the rail is high and there may be some barrel droop (I have not checked- I always shim the rear for air rifles) and enjoy. Amazing what is available at this price range. A few years agothis would have been a $1000 air gun.

Everything but the bolt location

Make it a forward side lever

Luckily mine shoots the economical crosman premier hp extremely well!

I like the weight. It's light and easy to handle.The grip fits in your hand great. The cocking handle is easy to cock and feels really good. The magazine is easy to load. The gun is very accurate with a nice punch. The gauge is easy to read. The gun is pretty quite with its moderator built in.

I don't like how the barrel cover turns when you try to put an extra moderator on it. it just keeps turning and doesn't tighten up.

Great shooting little bullpup. Great pesting gun.

Excellent bull pup pcp. Some say it is Hatsan's inexpensive entry into the PCP market... but I own 8 PCP's and I consider this an excellent air rifle for everyone interested in pcps.

The pellet magazine appears loose if you dont have the bolt forward and a pellet in the action.

While all of the calibers have a specific audience in mind.... I believe the real enthusiast graduates as time passes up to the 25 caliber.... and I am very happy with this caliber which has no problem harvesting woodchucks at 70 yards.

I am very glad I purchased the 25 cal.hatsan it is accurate for 30 rounds on a single charge.it stays constant fps on all 30 rounds.the only thing is the clips that came with mine real flimsy.so I use the aluminum ones that I bought an it works perfect.thank all who made this gun

Need to change the clips they cause a lot of issues chambering rounds.every thing else works great.

Nothing else I have found

The metal finish matched much better than my wood flashpup in .25 cal. The bolt was upgraded to a new beefier one, more like a.22 rimfire.

Quality control from Hatsen seems to be nonexistent. Fired the first two pellets at 21 feet on my indoor range and they ended up in my pine tongue and groove wall in my kitchen. So I re-sighted the Flashpup at 10 feet and then tried 2 more shots at 21 feet and added to more holes to my wall. It had a bent barrel or a twisted barrel band. My Flashpup in .25 cal. has a fantastic barrel but I had to machine a .062 shim for the rear of the scope base to raise the elevation of the scope. At 42 yards wouldn't print on a 12x16 inch target with the elevation on the scope maxed out.

Pyrimyd Air's costumer service resolved my issues with the .22 cal. I'm returning it for a Bullboss. I had to keep the Flashpup in .25 cal. even with the issues it has due to the accuracy of the barrel.If you look at it with a bore scope it looks much like a FX smooth twist choked barrel. In the initial testing at 42 yards the best group was the JSB's 25gr. 3/8 inch 10 shot group, JSB 33gr 1/2 inch 10 shot group, Barracuda Hunter Extreme, 3/4 inch 10 shot group same with the Barracuda. The H&N Grisly slugs shot a 7/8 10 shot group minus two fliers.

I like the weight distribution. I like the way it feels in my hand. The construction feels solid.

The bolt is extremely gritty and rough. I am hoping it will get better with time.

I do like the accuracy on my .25 cal ,the synthetic stock and how easy to adjust the trigger, it is quite but a DonnyFL is a must to be very very quite.

i have two negative one is the magazine fit is still loose and the other is HATSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE IT A JOKE LEFT A FEW MASSAGES ON THE PHONE LEFT MASSAGES ON THE WEB FOR THE PROBLEM WITH THE O-RING BREECH SEAL AND AFTER 1 WEEK STILL NO ONE HAS RESPONDED . THANK GOD FOR PA . And my sale rep GREG WNEK.

The accuracy.

I havent had much time to shoot it. The bolt seems a little stiff but it is so new I havent gotten used to it yet. Its a good keep in the trunk of the car in case a tegu shows its head when I pull up in the driveway. Magazine loads differently than most of my air rifles but it works just as good.

Add sling mounts.

Great gun for the price point. I would recommend it for a around the house pest destroyer. Get low profile scope and mounts and you are good to go.

Everything! Im EXTREMELY impressed with this new flashpup. I purchased the wood version in .177 not too long ago and had to get one in .25. The new synthetic is the better rifle. Ive only tried the kings so far and have yet to figure out the sweet spot in the power curve but its more consistent and accurate then the .177 right out of the box. The synthetic stock is way better then I thought it would be. The curved grip just forward of the trigger helps tremendously when shooting freehand and the brace between the grip and stock makes an excellent handle. No sling nessesary. Dont know the exact foot pounds but the .25 is slamming my targets at 35 YDS! The larger chrome bolt is a plus helps cocking and the red mags are working flawlessly. Every bit as quiet as my .177, Hatsans QE system is genius.

Have too take a look to try and come up with something. For P/As price point, I dont know?!? Even the couple extra ounces in weight feels right.

Definitely. Put a generic amazon scope on real quick from my old break barrel and noticed it was shooting a foot and a half low at 25 YDS. Knew right away what it was. My wood flashpup had the same issue. The optic rail was 1/8 lower at the breech than the barrel band. Fortunately Chad from Brothers in air has an easy quick fix. You Tube. Just shim the spacer at the rear of the optic rail and your good to go! Old credit card worked for me.
