Hatsan Factor RC — Carbon Fibre PCP Air Rifle | Fieldcraft Airguns

Hatsan Factor RC Review — The Regulated Carbon Fibre PCP

The Hatsan Factor RC is the regulated version of the Factor platform, featuring a 580cc carbon fibre air bottle instead of the standard aluminium cylinder found on the non-RC model . The RC designation stands for Regulated Carbon, and this model includes an externally adjustable pressure regulator with its own dedicated pressure gauge, allowing shooters to fine-tune consistency and shot-to-shot performance . The rifle is built on 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 RC is available in .177, .22, and .25 calibre, with magazine capacities of 24, 21, and 19 shots respectively .

Hatsan Factor RC UK — Specifications and Features

The Hatsan Factor RC UK market offers this PCP with a full suite of adjustable features. The rifle features the QuietEnergy fully shrouded barrel with an integrated sound moderator, which Hatsan claims reduces noise by approximately 50%, plus a 1/2 inch UNF threaded muzzle for an additional silencer if desired . The telescopic stock is length-adjustable, and the cheek piece is height-adjustable to achieve a perfect fit for shooters of different sizes . The maximum fill pressure is 250 bar, and the rifle delivers approximately 140 shots in .177, 130 in .22, and 120 in .25 calibre at optimal velocity . The overall length ranges from 40.3 to 42.9 inches depending on stock extension, with a 23-inch barrel and a weight of 7.9 pounds .

Adjustable Power and Quattro Trigger System

The Factor RC stands out for its extensive adjustability. The rifle features a 3-power adjustable transfer port, allowing shooters to select low, medium, or high power settings to suit different shooting scenarios . The externally adjustable hammer preload dial works in conjunction with the transfer port to fine-tune power output and cocking effort . 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, travel, and engagement . The side lever cocking handle is reversible for ambidextrous operation, and the patented anti-knock system prevents accidental discharge when the rifle is knocked or bounced .

Hatsan Factor RC Red and Accessories

The Factor RC is available in several finishes including Black and Flat Dark Earth, with some models featuring red anodised accents on the trigger guard, safety lever, and cocking handle — often referred to as the Hatsan Factor RC Red version. The rifle comes with two SwingLoad magazines, a single-shot tray, a Foster quick disconnect fill adapter, a multi-tool for adjustments, and a hard case . The accessory rail beneath the forearm can accept a detachable foregrip, and the grip itself houses a spring-loaded bipod on some package versions . The factory scope rail accepts both 11mm dovetail and 22mm Picatinny mounts, giving shooters plenty of optic mounting options.

Hatsan Factor RC Problems — Honest Owner Feedback

The Hatsan Factor RC has received mixed feedback from owners, with several manufacturing issues worth discussing before purchase. One owner reported a significant leak from the breech area, with air escaping out of the hole where the pellet is loaded, draining the bottle from 200 bar to empty in less than 10 minutes . Another owner traced their leak to a manufacturing issue with a specific part, finding that machined holes had left razor sharp edges that destroyed O-rings repeatedly, requiring countersinking and deburring work to resolve . A forum user who owns a .177 Factor stated that while the rifle has been fine for the most part, they would not recommend it to others after discovering major manufacturing flaws requiring machinist-level skills to rectify . The same owner noted that the lack of a regulator on the standard Factor is annoying, and fitting one to a UK sub-12 version is reportedly pointless . On the positive side, after fixing the flaws, the same owner described the rifle as very accurate and their primary pest control tool .
