I just bought the same guy in black yesterday and after watching this review I feel a lot more comfortable with my purchase. The creator of this video seems realistic and like a nice chap which helps in making logical decisions based on purchasing a PCP air gun or whatever product may be in question. Greetings from Finland and thank you for the great video🇫🇮👍
Just a heads up from my previous comments about the factor RC, in the UK the hatsan factor RC only has the addition of a regulator, there is no external adjustability to the regulator nor is there any external hammer spring or transfer port adjustment. Basically the factor RC is identical to the standard FDE or Black just with a bottle reg similar to what you have on a paintball gun. It is only the FAC version of Hatsan factor RC that's comes with all the adjustability. I know this because because I have just sent my factor RC back to the shop for a refund as its been miss sold due to there advertising. Hope this is help to anyone looking to buy 👍🏻
Wow , what a magazine , I bet that doubles the weight of the rifle when full ... Yet again , a superbly narrated vid .. great work Richard Just gonna watch the other one that's been put on today , sure beats the hell out of coronation Street

"picatinary" is my new favorite worl to talk about mounting stuff on my guns lol but tks or the honest review, im seeing this rifle coming to brazil and some people are prazing it like its the best thing in the world see ya buddy
Cheers for the review. Picking mine up on pay day. Oh happy days. Well looking forward to being able to do a bit of target shooting up my yard. Got an extra silencer so it doesn't worry my poor horse. She hates loud noises. lol Thanks again.
Deploy the bipod while the feet are touching the ground and then raising the rifle. That'll stop the clank noise and also make it last much longer. Letting the feet spring out uncontrolled, eventually results in a shower of parts on the ground 😉
Looks like my style of rifle but the last hatsan I had was dreadful, it was the gladius , it shot a 9 inch spread at 30 yards and the gun was in a rifle clamp, spent £90 in different pellets, turned out the barrel had 2 deep gouges 30mm long in the barrel, had it replaced and the accuracy was still bad so I removed it and found another deep scratch just past the breach, now on the third barrel, no damage but its a loose sloppy fit until you tighten it up, still not pleased with accuracy so Im very weary of hatsans quality control, but its a great looking rifle.
Another good review Richard👍🏻Both rifles seem great value for money. I do prefer the ATA Airborne.It’s definitely a rifle to consider in the future for sure. Thanks again,Keep the reviews coming. Atb👍🏻😁
I am tormented trying to find a Brocock to fit my needs and this Hatsan Factor has added another question mark. From doing some research, the air filler does not come with a cover. Secondly, Hatsan do have a tool to load the magazine, but do not provide it with the gun at the moment. I saw on a RUclips video where one gentleman made his own filler cap cover. I have just read a review on the Factor in Air Gunner that the filler can catch the forward hand when shooting offhand. Looking at this it would have been very easy for the factory to make a forward grip that was notched and could have extended rearward to cover over the filler port, just make a filler cover. The magazine sets off another concern because it protrudes out from the side of the gun and could catch on a branch if hunting. I think the magazine would also been less visible in black and because Hatsan do not supply a tool to load the magazine, I would be worried that a metal wrench would strip the plastic nut. The big thing that Hatsan offer is a great price and some very good features that with tweaking could make a good gun into a great gun. Richard, thank you for all your help. You are truly a genuine gentleman and offer some great advice and reviews about the sport. I would love you to do something on bipods and tripods for hunting.
Finally a RUclips review of the Factor well done that man! I spotted this a few weeks back in an Airgun magazine and I do like the idea of a high capacity buddy bottle rifle. My question is did you clean the barrel before you fired at the range...as those fliers would irritate the heck out of me. Also it would of been nice to see a moderator fitted to see how much quieter it fires. Also what is the case like is it of a sturdy build or bit flimsy...I know it’s a sub £500 rifle...but there are a lot of reasonable priced rifles out on the market which may even take the podium from the Factor. Great review nevertheless 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Mark. I'm glad we could help. In all honesty, I didn't clean the barrel. I went to but couldn't get the pull through down the barrel - I suspect the baffles and integrated silencer got in the way. I'm sure a plastic drinking straw would have fixed things but i didn't have one with me. Hatsans definitely benefit from a barrel clean so i think you're right. The rifle is pretty quiet without a silencer, but adding one would make a difference I'm sure. And the case is actually pretty good. Better than Kral, but not as good as say Daystate/FX. I hope that helps! And thanks for watching.
That magazine! Is there an arms race amongst airgun manufacturers to get the highest capacity possible? I worry that the large capacity means a stiffer spring in the mag, which puts more pressure on the delicate skirt of the pellet, a possible cause for fliers. At least it mounts sideways so doesn't force you to fit extra, extra-high mounts to clear it, unlike some other guns out there. Come back the Rapid 7, all is forgiven lol.
The review of the gun was better than the guns actual performance so bravo Alpha Militaria. I've seen their other guns (PCP and Springers) perform much better at that range. For some reason this reminds me of that Hatsan Blitz without the automatic mag dump feature. Lets be honest the Factor is not a good example of a budget PCP nor does it sway me to switch from a midgrade accurate springer. What a solid accurate springer can do in one shot it takes 10 from the Factor to actually hit it's mark correction if it hits its mark. The price does not justify it's lack of accuracy. There's way better budget PCP options out there than this horrible gun. So far my money is on the ATA Airborne with the comparison test.
Thanks again for review. This looks like a copy of the Brocock Commander, in your opinion is the Brocock worth the extra £500 plus? If you were to put the two guns, having owed a commmander, how do they compair. I think that you have one of the best review channels on RUclips.
Thanks Oscar, that's very kind of you to say. In all honesty, yes if budget wasn't an issue, I would have the Commander over the Hatsan Factor. You can see where the extra money goes. Thanks for watching.
Man this was a really great review. You did your homework bud. Thank you. Here in the USA, of course I’m all in on the FAC. Question is...what caliber?.....22 or .25?😂 I have been saving up for the Delta Wolf. Yeah is a boatload of cash but this gun would be a great loner for a friend.
I think considering you only shot one mag? that was fairly ok. We are talking about little bitty lead pellets and the tolerances in their manufacture too must play a part in the accuracy. How did you check your scope at 30m/presumably u had already fired the rifle beforehand/ No or did you use some other method to align it? Thanks for showing!
Thanks very much. The rifle was zeroed at 30m (I only know one way of zeroing!) and the group you see in the film is representative of one of many I shot during the day. As I said in the film, the rifle would have benefitted from more use, the barrel being cleaned a few times and properly leaded in. And I'm sure some experimentation with different pellet brands and weights would also improve things and get rid of the odd flyer.
@@alphamilitaria2756 Hi there, many thanks for the fast reply. Great, so u'd recommend this model then, are u still using it or was it a loaner for a review because i'm thinking about getting one myself, or i wouldn't mind Hatsan "gifting" one for a review LOL"
@@BushCampingTools Hi. Its a fine rifle, but to be honest, there are several others around for the same or similar money that I would probably go for first. Have you seen our review of the Kral NP03 and Zbroia Hortitsia?
At least this one has the looks that I'd prefer of a PCP rifle for me.. A side lever and a huge drum mag sticking out the side of an AR styled rifle though.. bummer..
I watched this and your Airborne video, great reviews! 👌 Subbed. I'm torn between these 2 now, this one's barrel needed cleaning and some lead. Or there's the NP02?.... What would you recommend please. Cheers 👍
Hi. Thanks very much. Of the two I'd have the Airborne, but its pretty close - both are excellent value for money but the ATA seemed a little better engineered. The NP02 is a great value rifle too. Completely different style/aesthetic though. The pull is quite long as well. I'd also say the trigger on the ATA is better as well, and the sidelever. Good luck.
@@alphamilitaria2756 thanks for the reply 👌 I think the Airborne pips it out of these 2 at the moment but I wanted your in the flesh opinion! Much appreciated. I think I'm gonna go with the NP02 for now cuz these are unproven and I keep thinking what happened with some of the Zbroias. Defo 2 for the future though.

Hi. I only tested the 12 ft/lbs model with pellets. No doubt you'd be able to shoot slugs through the high power model, but I have no experience personally.
Hi Philip. Its not overly loud to be honest. I didn't try it with a silencer simply because I like to test rifles as they come supplied. I'm sure a silencer would quieten it down considerably. For £460 its really not that bad, pretty good in fact. Yes, if you put it against an FX or Daystate you'll notice its a little rougher around the edges but you can console yourself with the £grand you saved in your pocket. And its accurate enough. I didn't really do the review rifle justice. I'm certain that with a bit more lead down the barrel and a clean or two the groups would tighten up. You certainly have to make sure the pellets are seated down in the magazine before rotating the face plate. Otherwise you can crush the pellet. Thanks for watching.
After removing and reinstalling the shroud, mine suddenly appeared more noisy (100dB!). I have no idea what went wrong. Also, my mags are really hard to insert. I see people inserting them with 2 fingers but I have to push real hard to feed them in.
Hi Jet. Yes, the magazines are a bit of a fiddle. It took me a while and a lot of head scratching before I worked out 'the knack'. Have you had the rifle long? Hopefully you'll get the hang of it soon as well. With regards to your shroud I'm afraid I can't be much help. Do you also fit a sielncer?
@@alphamilitaria2756 The rifle is only a few days old. I really liked the fact that it is so silent. But now it suddenly became noisy and I cannot figure out why. Is there perhaps something critical to watch out for when putting the shroud back? As I understand, the only part of the shroud that has a thread is at the muzzle end. At the breech end the shroud just seems to wiggle a bit up and down until it is pushed in place against the breach
Now there's a question I've never been asked before! I'm no expert on hunting beaver...stop it...but I'd imagine you'd need a powerful rifle, so I'd say PCP over springer. Good luck!
I'm gutted I sent my Brocock Compatto to a guy for a swap with the Pard NV07 but got scammed and lost my gun. He is to far to travel and the tosser blocked me on everything and had the cheek to sell my Compatto. I'm a disabled veteran and can't afford to buy a new gun or Pard. The guy lied from the start. So can't get hold of him and have lost my gun. My friend said he would try get a PCP through trying to get a gun company to donate a review gun for me. But I said no. I've just got to learn by my mistakes and just come to turns the compatto is gone. I have contacted police who sent me link to report him for fraud for selling a gun which wasn't his.
Is the RC just for FAC seeing it has the adjustability, reg, hammer spring and transfer port. I asked McAvoy Airguns but they are waiting for an answer from there suppliers because they wasn't sure ? 🤔
@@alphamilitaria2756 thanks for the link. In your review you said that both models ( non reg fde and regulated RC) did a FAC version giving the impression they also did sub 12 in both variants . Oh well I may have misunderstood. Or is it they do a RC sub 12 with no external reg , hammer or transfer port adjustment 🤔🤔🤔. Ideally I'd like the RC with all the adjustability in sub 12. 👍🏻👌🏻
@@cjnev9618 Hi Chris. Its my understanding that there are high powered versions of both the not-the-RC and the RC. Sorry if that implied there are 12 ft lbs versions of both as well. I believe, and McEvoy should be able to confirm, as they actually sell the things, that the RC is only available in high power. An adjustable reg will only be found on FAC rifles for obvious reasons. To be honest, I've found that the power adjuster on most 12 ft. lbs. rifles only makes very small differences because manufacturers know most people will want full power. (I suspect they view them as a means to enable an owner to turn their rifle down a notch if they discover it has crept over the legal limit). I agree though that a regulator would be handy on a 12 ft lbs version of the Factor. Sorry for any confusion caused. If you're looking for an affordable regulated PCP, have you had a look at the ATA Airborne we reviewed - very impressive.
@@alphamilitaria2756 thanks again for the reply, I have some great rifles ( wolverine B, wildcat mk2, hw100 bottle conversion) it's the external adjustability that took my fancy with the factor RC. I tune all my guns but all require to be dismantled to do so, the RC sounds ideal. I have looked on DAI leisure and they sell the factor RC stated with all the adjustability and no mention of FAC where as with our Air rifles they sell they do specify as being FAC, so fingers crossed I may be able to get what I'm after 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I couldn't tell you Steve. But the recording equipment often makes a rifle seem louder than it really is. To the best of my recollection, I don't remember it being particularly loud. Thanks for watching.
Did you enjoy this review of the Hatsan Factor? If so, you're in luck as we've just reviewed another Hatsan rifle. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/wwxF7wp3kIM/видео.html
Hi. I believe the adjustment features are limited to the FAC versions. Certainly the unregulated version in the video doesn't have any adjustment. I understand, though I have not been able to confirm it, that there is a 12 ft. lbs. Factor RC. My assumption is that it has a regulator and carbon bottle, and possibly a power adjuster, but doesn't have the adjustable regulator and hammer pre-load for obvious reasons. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that...
@@RogueBrit Hi. So I managed to confirm that neither the 12 ft lbs RC or 'standard' Factor have any power adjustment. The difference between the two is that the RC has a regulator and carbon bottle whereas the standard rifle has an aluminium bottle and no regulator. I hope that helps.
@@RogueBrit Hi. Yes, the barrel is quite long at 23 inches. Its usually a length found on high powered models so I'm guessing the rifle is intended mainly for higher power markets like the US, and the UK rifle is simply powered down. I think the minimalist design of the stock probably accentuates the length of the barrel as well. And don't forget it would look even longer if you fit an external silencer. But all in all, pretty good value for money. I've tended to find that Hatsans improve with use and keeping the barrel clean.
OK now sorted, Richard I've started supporting channels via purchasing/collecting baseball caps how about Alpha Militaria doing a version like Airgun101👍
It was good. I found the trigger blade a little short, but I do have fat fingers! The stages were well defined with no creep and the let off broker very cleanly. Thanks for watching.
I'm afraid I don't know. The only suggestion I have is to contact Hatsan direct. They may be able to tell you where in India to buy one as well. hatsan.com.tr/contact-us/
I clicked off at 3.42ere is no reason to use of any more minutes of one's life to hear anyone descripe the obvious this and that of any rifle's exterior. Jesus Christ these type of reviews are pure Tomorrow's World come to haunt again

Is it only for pellets? How about slugs, any experiences with this barrel?
Hi. I only tested the 12 ft/lbs model with pellets. No doubt you'd be able to shoot slugs through the high power model, but I have no experience personally.
It sounds loud and clunky is that the case? the first pellet that went in looked like it got squashed by the mag great review thanks
Hi Philip. Its not overly loud to be honest. I didn't try it with a silencer simply because I like to test rifles as they come supplied. I'm sure a silencer would quieten it down considerably. For £460 its really not that bad, pretty good in fact. Yes, if you put it against an FX or Daystate you'll notice its a little rougher around the edges but you can console yourself with the £grand you saved in your pocket. And its accurate enough. I didn't really do the review rifle justice. I'm certain that with a bit more lead down the barrel and a clean or two the groups would tighten up. You certainly have to make sure the pellets are seated down in the magazine before rotating the face plate. Otherwise you can crush the pellet. Thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 thats great, thanks for your response, it looks an awesome bit of kit! its lighter than it looks, probably the same as my hw95 👍
Nice
After removing and reinstalling the shroud, mine suddenly appeared more noisy (100dB!). I have no idea what went wrong. Also, my mags are really hard to insert. I see people inserting them with 2 fingers but I have to push real hard to feed them in.
Hi Jet. Yes, the magazines are a bit of a fiddle. It took me a while and a lot of head scratching before I worked out 'the knack'. Have you had the rifle long? Hopefully you'll get the hang of it soon as well. With regards to your shroud I'm afraid I can't be much help. Do you also fit a sielncer?
@@alphamilitaria2756 The rifle is only a few days old. I really liked the fact that it is so silent. But now it suddenly became noisy and I cannot figure out why. Is there perhaps something critical to watch out for when putting the shroud back? As I understand, the only part of the shroud that has a thread is at the muzzle end. At the breech end the shroud just seems to wiggle a bit up and down until it is pushed in place against the breach
what's a good budget option for beavers either pcp or springer?
Now there's a question I've never been asked before! I'm no expert on hunting beaver...stop it...but I'd imagine you'd need a powerful rifle, so I'd say PCP over springer. Good luck!
I'm gutted I sent my Brocock Compatto to a guy for a swap with the Pard NV07 but got scammed and lost my gun. He is to far to travel and the tosser blocked me on everything and had the cheek to sell my Compatto. I'm a disabled veteran and can't afford to buy a new gun or Pard. The guy lied from the start. So can't get hold of him and have lost my gun. My friend said he would try get a PCP through trying to get a gun company to donate a review gun for me. But I said no. I've just got to learn by my mistakes and just come to turns the compatto is gone. I have contacted police who sent me link to report him for fraud for selling a gun which wasn't his.
That's too bad Wayne. Sorry to hear you've had such bad luck.
Can you make your air gun 20lbs ?
Only where it is legal to do so.
Hi what size picatinny rail is it please ?
Hi Allan. 22mm I believe...
Where can I buy one of these rifles and how much does it cost?
That depends on where you live?
Maybe give us a link to buy
Hi Todd. We don't sell air rifles. Maybe do a search to see who does?
Is the RC just for FAC seeing it has the adjustability, reg, hammer spring and transfer port. I asked McAvoy Airguns but they are waiting for an answer from there suppliers because they wasn't sure ? 🤔
Hi Chris. Yes, I believe it is.
Check this out: hatsan.com.tr/product/factor-rc/
@@alphamilitaria2756 thanks for the link.
In your review you said that both models ( non reg fde and regulated RC) did a FAC version giving the impression they also did sub 12 in both variants . Oh well I may have misunderstood. Or is it they do a RC sub 12 with no external reg , hammer or transfer port adjustment 🤔🤔🤔.
Ideally I'd like the RC with all the adjustability in sub 12. 👍🏻👌🏻
@@cjnev9618 Hi Chris. Its my understanding that there are high powered versions of both the not-the-RC and the RC. Sorry if that implied there are 12 ft lbs versions of both as well. I believe, and McEvoy should be able to confirm, as they actually sell the things, that the RC is only available in high power. An adjustable reg will only be found on FAC rifles for obvious reasons. To be honest, I've found that the power adjuster on most 12 ft. lbs. rifles only makes very small differences because manufacturers know most people will want full power. (I suspect they view them as a means to enable an owner to turn their rifle down a notch if they discover it has crept over the legal limit). I agree though that a regulator would be handy on a 12 ft lbs version of the Factor. Sorry for any confusion caused. If you're looking for an affordable regulated PCP, have you had a look at the ATA Airborne we reviewed - very impressive.
@@alphamilitaria2756 thanks again for the reply, I have some great rifles ( wolverine B, wildcat mk2, hw100 bottle conversion) it's the external adjustability that took my fancy with the factor RC. I tune all my guns but all require to be dismantled to do so, the RC sounds ideal. I have looked on DAI leisure and they sell the factor RC stated with all the adjustability and no mention of FAC where as with our Air rifles they sell they do specify as being FAC, so fingers crossed I may be able to get what I'm after 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Hi
Where can I buy it in .25 caliber am I in the USA?

No links?
Sounds so a little louder than my Flashpup
I couldn't tell you Steve. But the recording equipment often makes a rifle seem louder than it really is. To the best of my recollection, I don't remember it being particularly loud. Thanks for watching.
How’s much it costs if I may ask
Hi. In the UK I have seen them on sale from £465...
Can it be delivered from Almaty?

Does the UK version have the hammer adjuster?
Hi. I believe the adjustment features are limited to the FAC versions. Certainly the unregulated version in the video doesn't have any adjustment. I understand, though I have not been able to confirm it, that there is a 12 ft. lbs. Factor RC. My assumption is that it has a regulator and carbon bottle, and possibly a power adjuster, but doesn't have the adjustable regulator and hammer pre-load for obvious reasons. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that...
@@alphamilitaria2756 Thanks for the reply,
@@RogueBrit Hi. So I managed to confirm that neither the 12 ft lbs RC or 'standard' Factor have any power adjustment. The difference between the two is that the RC has a regulator and carbon bottle whereas the standard rifle has an aluminium bottle and no regulator. I hope that helps.
@@alphamilitaria2756 probably be my next rifle barrel length is a bit daft
@@RogueBrit Hi. Yes, the barrel is quite long at 23 inches. Its usually a length found on high powered models so I'm guessing the rifle is intended mainly for higher power markets like the US, and the UK rifle is simply powered down. I think the minimalist design of the stock probably accentuates the length of the barrel as well. And don't forget it would look even longer if you fit an external silencer. But all in all, pretty good value for money. I've tended to find that Hatsans improve with use and keeping the barrel clean.

500 pounds / 400 pounds still way to high for most people .
You won't find a PCP much cheaper, certainly not a regulated one. There are plenty of good springers at a lower price though.
Sorry mate, I like your content but I just can't deal with your camera's autofocus anymore. Can't you just do it manually, or let it focus and switch it off? It'll make such a difference to your videos.

Wouldn't do any harm to review an FAC version now and then.
