Sythetic Flashpup Adventure Started

[503Manny]

So, it looks like COVID has also affected air rifles supply. It looks like there's not any Flashpup Synth available at any store any time soon. Not even refurbs at Hatsan's website.
Any of you fellas has gotten bored of yours? I'll be happy to take that weight of your shoulders...

.177 and .22 cal are in stock at pyramyd air

Thanks screwwork, but that's the Flash, I'm looking (craving?)  for the Flashpup Synth...

I know you want the SFP, but I still say you can do anything with the WFP that the synthetic can do  


I got to shoot the re-cylindered SFP some yesterday at longer ranges, and I think it is actually shooting a little better than it was before!  I don't know if the additional barrel band changed the harmonics or if the slugs are just happier shooting that extra 10-20 fps faster now, but she's a laser!!  It was pretty dang accurate prior to the BT cylinder, but yesterday, it just felt a little more consistent.  I did change how I was resting the gun on bags too, so that could also be part of it.  Many innocent cans and smaller targets met their death from 150-215 yards in the wind

that sounds awesome!

UPDATE: Just got to purchase a refub SFP in 22 cal...and I was in such a hurry that I used the wrong shipping address (duh...) I've emailed and called them but no reply so far...no one picks up the phone no matter what extention I chose...

Do you have another way to contact them? maybe a different phone number? Is anyone from Hatsan in this forum so I can reach out to them??

Thanks in advance...

YIKES! Sorry, I have no juice with Hatsan but just wanted to share your anxiety (and type YIKES in caps), I sure hope you get it sorted...

Or cancel the order and order the Wood version instead, they have a refurbished unit in 25 for $20 more.

Someone's getting an early Christmas in San Salvador...

[503Manny]

They've fixed it! They've updated the right address...

(is there a "jumping out of happiness" icon? lol)

Can't wait to get my hands on that baby and start tuning it before adding a regulator...

Now I'm itching to get that one too...

Good one Thane 

(sorry 503Manny couldn't resist; at least I waited until you got your mailing address fixed up)

That's ok Charlie! we're all in this together, lol. the struggle is real!

Congrats on ordering the refurbished SPF!
Love the tag line, "You don't need a shrink...you just need to shoot some pellets"
My shrink suggests me going camping, hunting & shooting stuff to find peace & releasing my frustration. lol

Thanks! I've been also waiting for a new one in PA or AD but they keep pushing the expected date...then I got the text alarm I set up for when the availability email from Hatsan hits my inbox...last time I saw the email 2 hrs after and the rifle was already gone!


...then you should take him hunting with you Randy!

[screwwork]

Now that's a good one, (she) may not be up for that or her husband may not approve of it. lol

Now that I'll be getting my SFP...

Has anyone found the perfect slug for their .22 cal Pup? I'd like to buy some samplers but there are too many options: .217, .218 and about 5 different weights for each.

I already tried JSB Knockouts (.216) and they were horrible in my WFP.

Any suggestions?

[QueeQueg]

I have been shooting .217 23gr H&N slugs at about 1000 FPS and I love them in a tuned WFP. My search is over!

Nice! How is it grouping at 50+ yds?

[QueeQueg]

These slugs are doing worlds better than any pellet I've tried. This is especially true out past 50 yards. If I do my part, at 50 the rifle will put them all well under an inch. But at 100 yards it can do MOA. Once again that's up to me. What's really nice is that with a 35 yard sight in it's only dropping about 2 inches at 100 yards. Pellets of similar weight were more like 6 to 8 inches, and they never grouped like these at 100.

They are reasonably priced too compared to most other slugs. I'm not sure how well they'll shoot at lower velocities but it's not hard to get them there. I still have 5 turns left on my hammer spring so I could probably push them faster or even go up a few grains. But I'm really pleased with it now and they do a number on skunks.

Sounds like you don't need to touch it anymore! yeah, slugs have a flatter trajectory due to their higher BC. I'll def try those!

Thanks

Yes I extremely pleased with these inexpensive, highly modifiable, accurate and powerful airguns.

Nice setup, what did you cover the barrel with? and what suppressor are you using?
