Bentonville, Ark— When it comes to PCP airguns, a barrier of entry tends to be associated with a daunting price tag. But in 2018, HatsanUSA will eviscerate the entry level barrier with its new Flash airgun line.
Weighing just under 6 pounds and delivering 40 foot-pounds of energy, the only thing “entry-level” about these airguns is the $299 price tag. In fact, the Flash features all of the hallmark standards expected from a Hatsan PCP airgun – including a Quattro two-stage adjustable trigger, a 22 and 11mm combination optics rail, built in pressure gauge and the patented QuietEnergy Sound Moderation System for noise reduction.
Unlike previous manual-loading Hatsan airguns, the all-new Flash features the Roto- Index magazine – previously only used in the company’s semi-automatic models. This spring-loaded rotary mag automatically indexes the next pellet each time the bolt is cycled, without the need for heavy external mechanisms. Another first found in the Flash is its removable single-shot tray, which allows users to load longer, more specialized pellets and precision hand-loads.
In addition to the synthetic stock rifle, the Flash will also be available in an elegant, bullpup, hardwood option with a $399.99 MSRP – the FlashPup. Read more
