Page 7 - Hatsan Flash QE Reviews

- It's light. - It was packed "ok". The bolt was protruding through the inner (hatsan) box but was contained by the outer box and was not damaged at all. It came with all the accessories as it should (probe, extra orings, two mags, single shot tray) - It's quiet! - The trigger is significantly better than I was expecting. I have owned one hatsan before (135). I HATED that trigger. More specifically, I hated the angle that the hatsan springers pull at. This trigger is MUCH better than I could have hoped for. It's not like my FX trigger, but I would not expect to be adjusting it in the near future - The magazine fed well. Yes, the mags are really cheap feeling and there are some obvious manufacturing flaws visible on them. But they worked for me.

- Cheap feeling. (duh, it's a $300 pcp) but I guess it's goo for Hatsan to make a lighter rifle for once. - Make the magazine lower-profile. I am using a 3-9 UTG bug buster scope with it :-) this scope - along with the hatsan rail - along with the super-high magazine made for some frustrating moments trying to get it scoped! Out of the gazilling of rings I have around, only one ring would clear the mag (kind of...) and work with the bug buster. I had to use HIGH UTG dovetail rings AND shim the scope. I was able to trim some of the plastic from the UTG scope for shims :-) - My gun's FPE (23 fpe) does NOT live up to the advertised specs (29 fpe) here on the PA web site. Note: the gun's specs in the manual that shipped with it are different than the PA web site (22 fpe). So I'll be sending PA a message on this one. My gun shot at 1002 fpe with Air Arms 10.3 grain pellets. At the advertised FPE it should shoot JSB monsters at 1000 fps.

Yay! The Hatsan Flash in (.177 caliber) arrived today (July 3rd). This is the rifle that I chose instead of the long delayed Benjamin Fortitude. It was too dark to do full chrony strings.

- I only got random shots to register on my chrony. But based on the little shooting that I've done, I'm hoping for 3 mags (42 shots) which is shy of the 48 they advertise.

- I only shot it off a monopod so I can't judge accuracy yet. But I DO have a good feeling .... :-)

*** I am giving accuracy 4 stars but will come back and update with more info after I get more trigger time ***

Really accurate and hits hard The magazine's are a little on the cheap side but so far they work Value for the money is good

Magazine's Everything else is good

the weight...the stock is thin seems cheap and is but its very light overall ..and also powerful...

the clip...needs too be more precision in manufacturing.cheap..jamming issues out of box.but easily fixed with a little filing of exit hole on clip and loosening of center screw...problem solved...

powerful for the price....easy too carry and very quiet...

Quietness, no sound except the ping of the piston when fired. Accuracy!!!. Light weight. Easy to mount scope. Mine is the .25.

The engraved fire and safe letters should be colored for ease of sight. Fire red Safe White. I used nail polish to accomplish this add on.

I mounted a UTG 4x32 fixed 35 yrd parallax scope and a UTG Tactical OP-2 metal Bipod.
In the video it was stated the rifle didn't have a plug for the fill port. But mine came with one. Nice surprise.
I can hit a 12 gauge shell dead center in the upright position at 50 yrds.

I really like everything about this flash, this is my first pcp,I love the power and accuracy,my next purchase will be the hatsan bully in 25.cal

I really wouldn't change anything about this gun except maybe the shot count

Nice rifle, it's more than just for bigginers,even the most experience air gunners would love this flash

This new offering from Hatsan right is my favorite gun in my arsenal of air guns! Light weight, accurate as hell and a pleasure to shoot. Great trigger and very quiet. Accuracy is off the charts, zeroed at 30 yards and shoot less than 3/8 5 shoot groups moved Back to 50 and shoot 3/4 to 1 inch 12 shoot groups. Great gun at a great price.

Add sling studs or stud holes, larger air cylinder for more shoots between fills.

This is an awesome gun for the money, not the prettiest but an awesome gun just the same!

Shoot really good and very accurate and Powerful

Nothing

Right now I might have to send it back I don't know I put air in it overnight to go hunting woke up the air was about out I have a leak somewhere so I might have to send it back

Very powerful, I wouldn't want to get shot by accident with this gun. 1" groups were no problem once I got the new scope sighted in. I was actually hitting previous holes in the target over and over again. Comfortable, firm grip, feels good on the shoulder. No noticeable kick. My teenage daughter really enjoyed how lightweight the rifle is compared to others we own, I believe this is now her new favorite. In either case, I've been waiting for this to show up in America for months, and now I'm finding the wait was well worth it. The rifle arrived fully charged, which was something I didn't expect, so I was able to start shooting right away. Too powerful to use with my self-resetting spin target, which is something I didn't expect. Had to nail the spinning target down to keep it from flying up in the air. So I'm not kidding when it comes to the power this thing can unleash. If you want a low-cost PCP with the power & accuracy found in more expensive rifles, then this is the gun for you.

Mag seems a bit cheap, not sure how well it'll hold up to constant use since it's made of plastic. Mag spring seems a little weak. Had trouble loading it until I got used to it. The bolt is tight on pullback, going to try some gun oil to loosen it up some. Same problem with the Safety, easy to kick on, hard to take off.

It's a fun gun, and will likely be excellent for hunting. Ideal for someone smaller, my daughter operates it with no problem, yet has trouble cocking and steadily holding our other rifles. I tried it with the H&N hollow points, look forward to trying it out with Grizzly bullet shaped pellets next. Smashes water filled beer cans, shot through a rough-cut 1" thick board without a problem and dented the backside of steel...wondering if other ammo may completely penetrate steel.

Power, Accuracy, Solid construction, Light weight, and quiet (with the Hatsan ping), and did I mention Power. I just got the Flash tonight. I got it punching paper in 1 shot at 40 yards, I put 2 magazines through it before dark. Its hitting my targets like a .22 powder gun. The steel rings like a bell, and the plywood is dust. Totally happy I waited to get this gun. No regrets. This gun is the new gatekeeper to the PCP world. Stop looking, just buy it. Out of the box the safety lever was very rough, and hard to throw. I worked it back and forth through many cycles, and its much better now. Other than that, its a bargain at $299. It maybe premature, but time will tell. I will update if needed.

Smoother safety selector.

Simple operation no frills, rail for badly needed scope, two magazines, very light weight....could be plus or minus depending, very quiet

Time will tell.

Magazine into gun alignment and cocking appears to take some effort. Assuming with more use this operation will become smoother. This review may be a bit premature but the cocking issue is worthy of early comment. Update to follow to report if the Flash lives up to the hype.

It is powerful, shoulders great, and is so quiet. It is light yet very solid. Easy to fill with hand pump. Accuracy is amazing. Set Target at 40 yards and 10 shot group was pellet on pellet and about .85 inch using .25 cal Exact King Diablo 25.39 gr. Trigger was set right where I like it out of the box. However, it can be adjusted. Relieved I didn't buy another PCP in the $299 range.

The Flash comes without sights. This is the only thing I did not like. The cocking is stiff it should level out and become smoother.

I bought mine on sale for $278. Pyramyd Air has many sales throughout the year. It is well worth $299 if you can't wait for a sale.
