Newbie to this Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Hi guys Has anyone had any experience with the Hatsan Flash PCP air rifle. I have a friend who is looking to maybe purchase one and he is looking for some opinions on them. I must say it does look like a good deal. I think he said £320 for the rifle with a scope, pump and case. Any opinions would be helpful. Edit - his budget is around £500 all in if anyone has any other suggestions.

Edit - his budget is around £500 all in if anyone has any other suggestions. hello, this is a new one to me, so looked at a few reviews and prices, it has all the right specifications, light weight/ including pump/scope/ 2 stage trigger, large magazine capacity, 177 and 22, only thing to me is low shot count, fixed air tube 165 cc / 200 bar/ 2900 PSI, just to add, with a £500 budget he could look at a Hatsan NP O2 £300 ish but your need a silencer/scope/and bottle, or you may find a good second hand full pcp kit as i mentioned like a HW 100, see what others think, cheers Edited June 13, 2019 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Pick up a second hand S400 kit and have change for an air bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I would shop around for a used S410, buy a cheap set of mounts off the Bay and a used scope - should be able to source the lot for under £500 and will, if looked after, hold it's value.

Yep, if you need something lighter an S 200 would fit the bill. IMO nothing better in sub 12. A Milbro clearview scope 3-9 x32 AEOG will do all needed.

bruno22rf Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Quick search turns up an S410, fully kitted out for £295 Harwich Essex - all the rifle you will ever need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted June 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Thanks all. Bruno, do you have a link to the S410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Probs freeads. £500 budget will get you loads of options. Example I've bought my fx cyclone and full set up for under that price. 9 hours ago, bruno22rf said: I would shop around for a used S410, buy a cheap set of mounts off the Bay and a used scope - should be able to source the lot for under £500 and will, if looked after, hold it's value.

Newbie to this Posted June 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Update - I've just spoke to him after finding a nice S410 about 30 minutes away, and well in budget. But he has decided to go with the Hatsan flash. (without even holding it). He has shoot my S410 so knows how well they shoot. Thanks for all of your replies. I'll update with how it performs when he finally gets it and I get to shoot it. I'm curious myself as to how it will perform. For that money, if it shoots well, it may well be a good buy.

figgy Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 For the price and all that's included, I'd be surprised if it was good to shoot and well made. Corners have to be cut somewhere. Hope he doesn't come to regret his decision down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think he may have changed his mind altogether because he still hasn't purchased it yet. I think it was a case of wanting one, but not really having a need or anywhere to use it, apart from his garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 I picked up a bsa lightening xl tac in .22 last month .(its got a bit of surface rust on the barrel )for £100 .it shoots really well and ive just used it on a airgun training day to teach over 100 people firing around 1000 shots without issue .Possibly the best bang for buck ive ever spent . There is a nice wood version in my local rfd for £180 tempting me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
