Hatsan’s New Factor Competition PCP Rifle
HatsanUSA has brought a new highly-customizable competition PCP air rifle to the US market – the Factor RC. Available in .177, .22, and .25 calibers, it can be fine-tuned and tailored to various competitions and shooting styles. Among its many features is the ability to accept AR-15 pistol grips and buttstocks made for modern sporting rifles and has a reversible cocking lever for ambidextrous operation.
The pistol grip is covered in soft, durable rubber and is textured to provide maximum grip and control. The 5-position telescoping buttstock also features an elevation adjustable cheek rest that can be moved in 5mm increments up to 40mm tall or removed for low-profile optics. Hatsan’s fully adjustable Quattro Trigger includes a trigger pad that can be moved vertically and rotated left or right.
The Factor RC’s power output is also highly adjustable, featuring an externally adjustable pressure regulator with its output pressure gauge. A power level knob on one side of the receiver controls the amount of air transferred into the barrel. On the other side, a hammer preload adjuster helps fine-tune power output and cocking effort. The Factor RC features a removable 580cc carbon fiber air tank and is also equipped with a Foster-style quick-disconnect fill inlet. In place of the normal fill nozzle, an extended quick disconnect is included. An integrated color-coded manometer allows the system pressure to be easily monitored at-a-glance.
The 23-inch-long precision rifled and choked barrel will ensure accuracy, while Hatsan’s QuietEnergy technology, full-length barrel shroud, will reduce noise output. A standard ½” UNF threaded muzzle piece is included to allow a larger sound moderator or air stripper to be added without modifications. To round out the Factor RC’s features, 2 high-capacity SwingLoad magazines (that can be linked together to facilitate faster mag changes) and a single-shot tray for precision loading are included, a picatinny rail is installed beneath the forearm, along with a combination optic system that will accept picatinny, Weaver, and 11mm dovetail mounts.
