Hatsan Factor — PCP Air Rifle & UK Specs | Fieldcraft Airguns

Hatsan Factor Review — A High-Power PCP Platform

The Hatsan Factor is a pre-charged pneumatic air rifle designed for shooters who want serious performance and adjustability. Featuring a manual loading, side lever action, the Factor is available in .177, .22, .25, and .30 calibres depending on the specific model . The rifle is built around an aluminium frame with an integrated Picatinny rail for both 11mm and 22mm scope mounts, plus an additional rail beneath the forearm for bipod or accessory attachment . The Factor comes in multiple variants including the standard Factor, the Factor RC (with carbon fibre bottle), and the Factor Sniper Long for extended range shooting .

Hatsan Factor UK — Models and Specifications

The Hatsan Factor UK market offers several configurations of this PCP platform. The standard Factor features a 500cc detachable aluminium air bottle, while the Factor RC upgrades to a 580cc carbon fibre bottle for increased shot count and reduced weight . The Factor Sniper Long features a 700cc carbon fibre bottle plus a 100cc pre-air chamber, delivering extended time in the field . All models include the QuietEnergy fully shrouded barrel with integrated sound moderator, which Hatsan claims reduces noise by approximately 50%, plus a 1/2 inch UNF threaded muzzle for additional silencers . The side lever cocking handle is reversible for ambidextrous operation .

Adjustable Power and Quattro Trigger System

The Factor stands out for its extensive adjustability. The rifle features a 3-power adjustable transfer port and externally adjustable hammer preload, allowing shooters to fine-tune power output for different pellets or shooting scenarios . The Quattro Trigger is a 2-stage fully adjustable match trigger with vertical and horizontal trigger shoe adjustment, giving shooters precise control over pull weight and travel . An externally adjustable regulator is also included on most models, with a separate pressure gauge to monitor regulator pressure . The patented anti-knock system prevents accidental discharge when the rifle is knocked or bounced .

Hatsan Factor Magazine and Shot Capacity

The Factor uses detachable rotary magazines with generous capacities. The .177 version holds 24 shots, the .22 version holds 21 shots, and the .25 version holds 19 shots . Two magazines are included with the rifle, and spare bottles are available for extended field sessions . The magazine is designed to be easy to fill, though some owners note that initial insertion can be tight and may require a few taps to seat properly during the break-in period . The rifle features a Foster quick disconnect fitting for easy filling, and a female quick disconnect nozzle is included in the box .

Hatsan Factor Problems — Honest Owner Feedback

The Hatsan Factor has received mixed feedback from owners, with several issues worth discussing before purchase. One of the most significant criticisms comes from a detailed test of the Factor Sniper Long in .25 calibre, where the reviewer reported extreme velocity spreads of up to 160 fps across a 10-shot string, leading to the conclusion that the rifle failed its velocity test . The same reviewer noted that the rifle was loud — registering 110-113 decibels, comparable to a .22 long rifle standard speed cartridge . Other owners have reported regulator problems requiring return to Hatsan for rebuild, and noted that despite the hype, the Factor wasn’t as accurate or powerful as other PCPs in its class . One owner described the cocking lever as very sloppy with up to 10mm of vertical movement, and the cocking cycle as a bit crunchy, though they noted that deburring is often needed on Hatsan rifles . On a Turkish forum, one user stated they used a Factor RC and absolutely do not recommend it, describing it as pellet fussy .
