Very light super accurate less than 7/8' group at 35 yards very first magazine! I expect I can do much better with practice and barrel gets seasoned. Tested with 25.39 jsb

Cocking effort is heavy in .25 .Shouldn't have to shim optics rail but it's easy

Clean the barrel it's super dirty out of the box. Get the 10 for 10 test to ease your mind about leaks and velocity. Mine came cronograph tested to an average of 897fps with 20gr pellets in .25cal just as advertised

confortable, lightweight,powerful+ accurate

add a slinger ring, bolt action too hard to pull

must consider a tunning to get more shots per fill and more accurracy and match a ammo to use. overall is a good air rifle

This gun performed way beyond my expectations. Super accurate and well made for the money!!

i purchased this gun and forgot the adapter for my benjamin hand pump so i ordered that and when i tried to fill up the gun it just kept leaking out. everything seemed loose and poorly made on the rifle aswell. i had the rifle leaned up on the wall and when it fell the bit of plastic holding the trigger group to the gun broke which caused it to seperate from the stock. very poorly made gun save your money and get something better

Compact. Accuracy is holding to a quarter anywhere between 30-75 yds using jsb or fx 25gr. I get about 2 magazines before I notice any major drop off.

Picatinny scope rail

Make sure you have or buy the make qd connector for the full adapter. Have Weaver rings or get an adapter. I am not a fan of dovetail.

The outer stock is made well, but that's about where it all ends.

The machining that was done for this bullpup was awful, constant jamming and malfunctions, right out of the box. It's almost as if the parts were outsourced and quality control was never really implemented, then again, you can't expect good quality from companies that make their products in Turkey. The magazines were supposedly upgraded from the last version, but both magazines that came still had the same issue the previous versions did.

This air gun is for people who like machining and a lot of DIY work, since this bullpup will either give you problems right out the box, or very soon down the line. You can make it a nice air gun, but the way it comes out the factory is equivalent to a bunch of baboons slapping on parts they're convinced are compatible.

Things I don't like. I had some issues from the out. My first time using it I put a magazine in the breech, tried to run the bolt back and it was very, difficult. Thinking it just needed some oil I put a few drops of RWS in the action an it did help but it still required me to pull back on the bolt with my fingers and my thumb hooked on the rear of the receiver. Still it felt like it was grinding against something. This is entirely too much force to operate the bolt. Once it was back in the open, locked position I dropped a couple more spots of RWS and cycled the bolt forward. It moved approximately halfway forward and stopped dead. Not a shot fired and I had a pellet half in the breech half in the magazine, a magazine that couldn't be removed, a bolt that wouldn't close, and a completely inoperable air rifle. A gunsmith friend of mine helped me get the mag out and I was able to clear the breech and begin using the rifle but the action force was still more than I like.

I do not like the trigger. It's plastic. Or some plastic alloy and after a bit of adjustment i had my creep, wall, break, over-travel, and reset pretty close to how I like them. I would say it was working, for the most part, ok. I don't think I have even 150 rounds through it and there is a SEVERE stacking issue. To the point that the last time I fired it the stacking continued until I finished over-travel and it did not fire. I waited 30 seconds with my finger maintaining pressure on the trigger and then began to lift the gun to look it over and as I did my finger began to reset and it finally broke. It went off sending a pellet into the floor joist. I'll be contacting the team at PA to find out how to proceed with servicing this rifle. It doesn't add that much more cost to put a good, metal, trigger and action in the gun before it leaves the factory. Or at least before it leaves the showroom.

This stacking issue and the problem I had with the bolt have put me off this rifle but I do have some good things to say about it so it wasn't a complete cock up. It's below a three in loudness and it is accurate! I got a bundle that came with the 3-12x50 Hatsan Optima scope and they are a good match. I'm putting single hole groups in paper on calm days at 35 yards and dime sized groups at 45. It's light, maneuverable, fast to the shoulder and gives me a very quick sight picture. Just be careful and make sure if there is the slightest issue that you get it handled right away as I should have done. I'll give an update after the servicing has been completed and a new trigger and action installed. Suggestions from my airgun community on a good trigger in the medium price range?

Great air gun. Lots of fun with this!

It handles nice and it looks pretty. It's got flash power right at 40 foot pounds. It's not to pellet picky it shoots all the major players really well. And Hatsan box mags allow you a lot of freedom. This gun actually shoots the grizzlies pretty well if you can find them!

I would put a better finish on the wood it's extremely easy to scratch.

Go ahead and get a grip stock for the fore rail. Hatsan is nice enough to provide a weaver rail. utg makes a really good multiple position one that works great on this very gun.however ladies and gentlemen if you are in the market for any flashpup by the synthetic stock over the Wood stock I have both and hands down the synthetic stock out shoots it. I have to be honest my synthetic is 22 and my woods are 25 so I don't have both weapons in the same caliber.

Great looking, handling and shooting rifle. Accuracy is spot on. Ive killed hundreds of rats with mine...

Nothing

Best pcp for the money by far... buy it!!!

I enjoy the quality build of this pup it is accurate and consistently holds it power for each shot.

I would make the stock 1/4" longer or provide inserts to add on the butt pad lengthening as preferred. The magazine tilts in place you can move it left to right a little like having a loose tooth starts to bug you after awhile I cut a small square of credit card to glue on it works good.

Everything , the pictures do not do it justice one bit . Its a work of art.

Nothing

This rifle has a break in period of its own. Cleaning it before you use it the first time will do it wonders . All guns come over oiled to protect it .I have had no issues at all . If you want a work of art and a bull pup air rifle , this is one of them .

Light, accurate and well balanced.

Quality control . I realize this is only a 300 dollar rifle. But the insides looked like it was dragged down the road. Very poor machining. Hammer had gouged in it. The sear looked like a saw blade and 2 orings were cut from the factory.

This particular rifle Was junk. I should have sent it back. But I repaired or replaced the damaged parts myself. Thats the fun with this rifle. Its easy to modify and work on. I have 6 of the Flash series rifles.

Fantastic power band accuracy, nice to handleand a nice kit with the magazines and single shot tray and scope, its a great deal. And hatson is a great product

Maybe include or make available a manual open sight conversion kit.

My unit was fully charged to 2600 psi right out of the box. Use all safety precautions and check your guage when u open it

This was my first bullpup and first wood stock from Hatsan. The fit and finish are nice, not perfect but well done for the money. The rifle is light, well bslanced and points well once you learn to shoulder it. The rorary 10 shot magazines are very nice, clear on one side so you can see the pellets plus a stop for the probe when you are out. The small rail under the forearm is handy for a bipod and the top rail also serves as a carry handle. Fairly quiet and accurate which I expect from Hatsan.

The trigger. Mine came with the middle screw bottomed out leaving no room for adjustment. I hate 2 stage triggers and can normally adjust one to remove the first stage, not here. I have seen these triggers adjusted to 12 ounces so hopefully I can get near that with mine.

If you have never shot a bullpup know up front there is a learning curve. The way you shoulder and grip the gun is not the same as a rifle length. My gun out of the box was shooting well under 800 fps but the hammer spring is easy to adjust and now is running 892 fps with 25.39 gr JSB pellets. It is accurate and hits like a brick as I found out after two days of pesting at a permission. This is a gun I would recommend if you want a wallet friendly gun that is a shooter.

i borrowed this rifle from a friend to see if i liked it and i ended up buying one here . Using predator pellets the accuracy was excellent 2800 to 2400 psi at 33 yards that is distance to the garbage cans . This combination was absolutely crushing on the racoons and i mean big ones. I really enjoyed the way it handled also.

I added a sling and a bipod and intend to do the same on mine

it was a 25 cal and fun to shoot targets very tight groups

Very accurate, light weight, powerful and quiet.

Stock get scratched easy. Bolt action was stiff but it can be made easier if you take it apart..line things up better and lubricate. Sidelever would be much nicer.

It likes heavier pellets. H&N Barracuda Match 21.14gr are the best pellet. I can get 5 shots in the same hole at 35 yards. I would recommend getting the synthetic version.. the bolt looks less likely to get bumped up and you wouldn't have to worry about scratching the stock. Overall very awesome gun highly recommended. Best pup for the money!

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
