Flashpup wood vs synthetic

[Pbrobe]

I have read several things about the synthetic flashpup reservoir being different size compared to wood. Im just wondering if there are any other differences. Is the wood version worth an extra $100? Also, how much heavier is the wood version?

Thanks

If I am not mistaken the wood version only comes in bolt action (cocking) and the synthetic only comes in side-lever cocking. I own a Flashpup in wood and it shoots very well but I can tell you that the bolt action is 'clunky' and not 'precise' feeling. My buddy has a synthetic Flashpup that I have shot quite a bit and I much prefer the side lever action. If I had it to do over, I would buy a synthetic with side lever cocking.

What cwcarrera said.

Just head over and look at the Pyramyd Air site. You can see everything that you need.
According to the spec. sheet, they both have a 165cc air cylinder and both get about 14 shots per fill...according to Pyramyd Air.

OR...better yet, where you SHOUD have gone...to the Hatsan USA web site!!!
Don't you think that they'd have the correct info that you require ? (same info as above)

It’s been a long time since I messed with this platform.

But I know originally, the cylinders were a different diameter.

Yes that is correct, the air cylinders are different diameter wood vs. synthetic. However I believe the capacity of the two cylinders is the same. I get 20 good shots out of a fill (25 cal) with no problem.
