10 of 43 Falcon Hunter with Nitro Piston Reviews
accuracy and power. Gas ram piston
Things I Would Have Changedscope rail
What Others Should KnowOnce you master the technique to shoot this gun, it shoots dime size groups at 30 yards. Trust me though, it is a difficult gun to shoot. It is very sensitive to your hold. The gun is awesome except for the fact that the scope combo is absolute garbage. I went through three different packages because the scope would not zero. Seems to me that the scope rail on the guns are not aligned properly. I got tired of returning the gun so I decided to shim the scope for now. I will need to invest in an adjustable scope mount though to properly fix the problem. The worst part though is that the email address of the tech that I was dealing with no longer exists. I'm not sure what Pyramyd Air is going to do about my situation though. They sold me a combo that doesn't work properly. I guess I was out of line to expect to be able to put the scope on the gun and use it right out of the box. I gave the gun one star on value and overall rating because what good is a purchase if you have to buy other stuff to make it work.
Everything is great!
Things I Would Have ChangedNothing
What Others Should Knowtoo loud to shoot in back yard in city scenario. restricted in my city anyway except at ranges.
Surprisingly accurate right out of the box. This gun will easily stack pellets! Nitro piston upgrade is worth every penny. Consistent brute power with lead pellets. Well-functioning trigger.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe stock has a nice looking camo print, but is plastic so it feels a bit cheap. In my opinion, a wood stock would be a more fitting material for a gun that performs this well. An option of purchasing with a wood stock would be a win/win.
What Others Should KnowI purchased this gun with pyramid air's Nitro piston upgrade. It operates and shoots great...makes even my Beeman rifles feel a bit clunky and unforgiving. This gun is easy to operate and shoot very accurately! The scope that comes with this rifle is nice but hasn't held up quite as well as my leapers and bushnells. Typical for rifle/scope packages in this price range. This gun does require proper technique while closing the breech after cocking/loading. If you are using the scope, be sure the barrel is fully seated at the breech(a slight gap here will not affect accuracy using open sights but will make shots drift high/low with the scope). My rifle had a lot of grease in this area which was preventing it from closing well the first 200 shots or so. Hatsan claims they have no wood stock to fit this rifle. I am making one for mine...will be my top rifle when wood is in place.
This is the best trigger on any air rifle (even some rimfire / centerfire guns)I have ever shot. Fit & finish are perfect. Super accurate & powerful. Shoots best with Beeman Kodiak pellets.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe scope is junk. Plan on purchasing something better. Mine shredded within the first 40 shots. Cheap plastic adjusters are very hard to turn without a wrench. BSA makes a good air rifle scope that will handle the shock.
feels well made, looks great, accurate, could use more power, i guess its never enough though
Things I Would Have Changeda little more power, mounts for a sling would be nice
What Others Should Knowthis gun performs well,but could use more power
This is an AWSOME gun! Buck for dollar, this one is a real winner. I've shot a Nitro Piston over and over and this one is the best by far! I've put this on my chrony and it makes consistent shots at the same velocity over and over again. It's tough, good looking and the weight is supremely balanced. Even without the bundled scope, the sites that come with it are not cheap, are durable and very accurate. There is NOTHING cheap about this rifle. It is well made, put together with precision using precision parts that work and function as a whole to give you some of the best grace and performance you’ll find in even the much higher priced guns. Get the Pyramid Sales & Tech Team on your side and let them know what it is that you want out of a gun and they'll bend over backwards to make sure it happens! I know---I’m picky as picky can be and they’ve made me one happy consumer! New or used, this gun is one that will retain its craftsmanship and functionality over many years, after THOUSANDS of shots, I’m certain of it.
Things I Would Have ChangedI'd engineer someway to mount a fixed sling locating the fore mount of the sling on a clamp that encircles the mid barrel and the aft sling end normally mounted and all because the rifle is on the heavy side to carry around on a hunt. I'd also engineer some kind of aftermarket suppressor that would further quiet the gun. But I'm picky and don't even like to hear a ping out of an Air Rifle---we all strive for perfection and if I had something I'd change, this would be all I'd do to this because it is otherwise PERFECT!
What Others Should KnowOf course, you'll get lower velocities using real hunting lead pellets. This one LOVES the Polymag 16gr pellet: Groups of 1 inch or better, depending on the wind, at 40+ yards and at 25 yards most shots are SAME HOLE shots! At 869/860 FPS and 865 FPS on average, you can't beat this Air Rifle/ Pellet match combination and prey devastation! This gun is hard on scopes so be sure you get your gear squared away RIGHT! It's heavy too. Takes a lot to cock it but use the very end of the barrel and you'll be fine. Mine broke the first scope but Umarex is in the process of replacing the scope.
I am highly impressed with this air rifle. Also with the camoflauge stock, which matches well in brush and trees, with no reflection from it. I love the blue lighted sights for shooting in darker areas. The durability and the quality of the design as well as the mechanical structure of the gun seem to be well-made. I purchased mine with the Nitro Piston. The noise level is really impressive as it is a lot quieter than most pellet guns. The kick is minimal. I really like the fact that you can carry the gun for a long length of time without losing spring pressure and the accuracy is great. I would recommend this gun. It is well worth the price. You wouldn't be disappointed. Jim Young
What Others Should KnowAir guns are as dangerous as real guns, but the prepulsion is different.
The scope is spectacular. Accuracy is awesome. Extremely quiet compared to other pellet guns I have used. The power is superior compared to many other pellet guns.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe rifle stock should have more of a pistol grip handle to grasp on to for better leverage to the shoulder.
What Others Should KnowThis is called "the beast" by many people including myself. It is not a great plinker simply because of cocking force but, it can be used for plinking and is extremely accurate.
The best suggestion for anyone who uses it would be:
1. Don't treat it like a toy and be afraid of breaking it. Reach up and grab the muzzle break to cock it and wing it back up. It will save a lot of muscle work and it wont break the gun.
2. When you get the gun Clean the barrel. It makes it a little more noisier and gives it more kick. I didn't test the difference between before and after but, common sense says if it has more kick it has more power. The power of this gun is amazing.
3. Mount the scope as far back as possible. The stock is very long.
4. Oil the moving parts from time to time it seems to help it break in pretty quickly and makes it easier on you.
These are a few observations I have noticed since have had the gun. Hope this helps.

Accuracy is great. Really nice rifle just out of the box. With or whitout scope bulleyes always.
Things I Would Have Changedfor the moment nothing
What Others Should KnowRecently out of the box and is spectacular. I killed rabbits at 80 meters without problems. I recommend using it with heavier pellets as the speed delivered by the NP is very high. 100% recommended fun for a long time.
