If you want power get the unregulated Factor. It has much more power and 3X the shot count. Check out the 2 charts below for regulated (RC) and non regulated (Factor) .

New Hatsan Factor RC

Hi, your probably thinking of the Factor, not the Factor RC. The Impact clone thing was a joke. It does shoot well but I haven't shot one past 75 yards.

From the reviews Ive seen,theres 2 rifles to choose from the Factor and Factor RC (Regulated Carbon) but some of the numbers Ive seen dont add up,ie the non RC gets more power but gets a higher shot count,with Hatsans history they usually focus on power before shot count.
Hopefully get a better review,details when some reliable reviewers get there hands on one.
Seen UK prices between 460 to 500 pounds sterling,so U.S price probably around $650 give or take on model/spec.

Since my main use for this pcp is chipmunk extermination, fpe isn’t a major consideration. In the few months I’ve used this rifle, I’ve put about 1600 pellets through it, and I’ve observed the following:
1) very reliable- it has not presented any functional/operational issues
2) accurate- with regulated pressure, many rounds of hole-in-hole groups are common- slight deviations of poi due to temperature (fully floating barrel)
3) this pcp rifle is heavy- definitely not for freehand shooters, I use it mostly on a tripod- carrying it would be cumbersome.
I actually dialed it down a bit from factory regulator settings of 140 bar, to around 840-850 FPS, with 18.21 gr (H&N Crow Magnum) pellets. Better near-range accuracy and shot count per fill- the lower velocity also lends to to better energy transfer- it literally launches chipmunks.
In summary- I guess lots of PCPs would be pretty effective in shooting chipmunks- but this PCP does it’s job very well.

Midway USA ends up with the first Hatsans sometimes. They had the Blitz about 6 months before anyone else.

Any updates as to when will it be available in the United States?
I see they are available through dealers such as Krale in the Netherlands but shipping it back for warranty service makes this a deal breaker.
Thanks,
Matt

I see Pyramyd Air has them for 1k.
Would be interesting how adjustable it is especially in the .25 caliber.

It has 3 power settings and also you can adjust the hammer Spring independent of that. So there should be a lot of adjustment. I only tested the 22 and I only adjusted the high, medium, and low power wheel. That got me tuned in for all the pellets. The factory tune may do very well with JSB 25 cal. I think the factor rc is one of the best guns around. -Nate

Is the lower receiver aluminum or plastic? Wish companies would stop using Philips screws altogether. Other than that.. Nice looking ride!

If I remember correctly, the reciever is all aluminum. I have never seen a plastic reciever till I shot the Umarex Origin. What the heck?
