(Airgun of the Year 2024) Hatsan Factor RC Sniper Long Review 

Yes, DO NOT lower the regulator pressure when there is presure in the gun. Remove the bottle, then pull the trigger till the guages read 0. Then lower the regulator most the way, The re-pressurize the gun for 250 bar, and turn the regulator UP when there is pressure in the gun...watch the dial as you turn it up. Thank you for the comment! -Nate

Sure. Those targets are fun to collect! I have about 10 of each style. I have the Chickens that are Ducks...very rare.

Thanks man! -Nate

That's what I said. Thanks for watching! -Nate

Wow thanks! I just made $60. Steak Dinner on Robert tonight! Thanks bro! -Nate

Oh yeah.

I love the Factor RC models. Thanks for watching! -Nate

Yeah...a real Sniper Air Rifle!

That's awesome! I don't use those pellets because I'm afraid they will ruin my barrel from being too hard.

@@AirgunChannel lol that comment was a joke just so you know 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Obrigado! Tive sorte de conseguir fazer algumas boas fotos para o vídeo! Obrigado por assistir! -Nate

Thanks man! I did my best on this video. Sometimes I don't! Thanks for watching -Nate

I agree. The Throne 2 is also pretty nice for $849-$999 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--HsR8YyhxuI.html

Yes, I would call this Hatsan's "Flagship" rifle.

Mike, You just have to shoot your Hatsan alot at first and if it's not performing right, return it. PY Air has no questions asked return policy. But if you want for sure quality, just spend $1200 on an FX Dreamline or maybe a Katran. Lots of good stuff for $1200.

@@AirgunChannelAs interesting as this thing is and as long as I've been waiting for it to come out....I think I will take the "for sure quality" route .. thanks Nate.

Yes, I liked this one too! Thanks for watching! -Nate

.357 is gonna be bad ass! I may get a .30 though.

Yeah, I like this one!

Yes, that thing is great.

@@Cisco1322 check out the Benjamin bulldog or the umarex hammer if you want reliable big game air guns you won't be sorry and look in to the reviews before you purchase a Hatsan if you get it through pyramyd air definitely have them do the test and tune for the extra 45 bucks to make sure you get a properly working rifle it definitely worth the extra money you don't want to deal with Hatsan customer service

They have been including that one cover on guns for a couple years now. A full one would be great!

@@AirgunChannel There you go there is a market for them out there when i used to play paintball they were a nice and cheap upgrade in the end essential in competition games but you can also have many different designs so you can mess around with them

That's definately a compliment. You may need to tune your FX or use different ammo. Good luck!

Yeah, That Sniper-L is a Peach!

I agree! Thanks for watching! -Nate

What you need to do is get 2 1.5 mm drill bits then dill the piece that's broken snap the bits for pins then insert in the wood Making sure they seat 2mm deeper find what wood they used get small piece a sample of ebay for postage cost then collect the dust mix with glue for the 2 holes then very light sand over the pins and where it was snapped New coat of varnish and knowone would NO you broken it

I was but I just had them send me a new one.

I love the Flash. A new regulated version is coming soon. I can't wait! Thanks for watching! -Nate

That gun was turend up less than half way. it goes to 85 foot pounds in .22 cal

@@AirgunChannel Yep, I love that you showed what it can do💥🏆👍👍👍👍👍👍

I had a Sortie, Didn't work, sent it in. They didn't even repair it, just sent it back knowing the 3 month warranty would expire before I could send it back. Dirty!

I'm afraid it will at some point. But it's definitely worth it!

@@AirgunChannel Did you send the FX to Sweden Or can they fix FX in US? love the show best regards frm Norway.😊

​@AirgunChannel did you buy a broken refurbished gun? Cause hatsan has 1 year warranty regardless of who you buy it from, I've had my share of bad parts with hatsan but they have always stood by to help me out in the process. I've even been given to different barrels to ensure I got one to shoot to my liking.

I had them send me a new grip.

Right on Jackalope! I agree you can't beat an FX. I'm reviewing the $999 DRS in a few weeks.

Yea you're way better off with a gauntlet SL in .30 than this gun that claims 81 fpe 😂 even at 1175 with a heavy slug you're not gonna see 81 fpe and if you were lucky enough to pull off 81 fpe your gonna end up seeing how bad Hatsan USA sucks at customer service.. my buddy bought two of these on in 22 and one in 35 and after a day and a half of ahpoting them both the typical hatsan problems started and at no point did it get. Lose to the fpe advertised reliably

So much good stuff about it. I like the silencers.

It's a great choice!

Not sure, it might. The specs may say if it's an AR grip. They included and extra grip that is just black rubber.

Yes, too bad.

Oregon

@@AirgunChannel Really? Is your county one of the one's that voted to join Idaho?

I agree!

Ya. Senapan angin yang diatur memberikan akurasi yang luar biasa. Senapan angin terbaik Hastan.

@@AirgunChannel 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Are you happy with ur FX?

@@stiannunn5113 So far so good. I have only had it for a month, but put over 100 rounds through it with no issues. I am not crazy about the rear mounted air tank, but it’s not a deal breaker.

@@longhauldawgs Ok that sounds good. 🙂 No i agree i dont like the rear tank either.

Good call. The Dynamic is ready for slugs (the Future). Get ready to reach out!

Good question. Do you need to ad parts to get full power?

Thanks bro! Party on! -Nate

I think there are too many choices...which makes choosing one hard. I think if your rifle does not shoot pretty much perfectly, you will not be able to release it in the USA...Hell no! Air rifles will begin to shoot slugs and the distances will get really far. Like 200-300 yard shooting will be easy. I may start doing my own ammo with slug press (if they give it to me for free of course), it's about $3k but you cna make any weight and diameter slug in your garage for almost free. Air Force owns the brand.

@@AirgunChannel keep on with the great reviews buddy.

Sorry, forgot to try that!

Yeah...you should see the S model!

There is also a shorter S model.

Cool, if you order through my link I'll get 5%. You pay the same. Thanks bro! -Nate

That 22 was only turned up half way. All calibers will shoot much faster than 900 FPS. but it's not accurate unless its a slug at over 950 fps.

Good advice! Because ammo falls straight down.

What is your vote for airgun of the year? Throne 2? Reximex are jerks ..so they got disqualified.

Taipan2

@@AirgunChannel it's such a hard call Iean air gun of the year shouldn't be something that the average person can't afford so expensive guns the the huben gk1 are out, the aea-bintech t9 is one of the most impressive airguns I've fired this year but on the same hand AEA and bintech sometimes have small issues. Machineing isn't always perfect so till more people.get their hands on. I'd have to wait see how the quality control is. I'd say the gauntlet SL .30 but it's a remake of an older rifle so it not really a new gun for this year... I'll have to think about this one .. the western sidewinder or rattler...

And technically the sniper l is just a remake of tried and true gun ... But honestly Hatsan has quality control issues too my jet the shroud is off from the barrel so I can't use a moderator on it and I had to replace all the o rings on it when I got it because it would hold air for longer than an hour

How bout the umarex hammer... It's affordable powerful, accurate and budget friendly ....

It was only at half power. You can shoot slugs as fast as you want.

It was only turned up half power in the video. It will shoot 1600 FPS if you want it to

@@AirgunChannel Max level that we reached was 950fps with 33 grain slugs, there is huge difference between 1100 fps/40 grain claim, also rifle was not stable at highest power, barrel rifling also had couple issues minus to that it has horrible crown. sorry but not worth the 1200$, the funny thing is they coundn't managed to design proper air channel for smoother flow and looks like they still can't

It won't be out for about 3-4 months.

There are videos of the Snowpeak M60 ( same gun ) ? Umerex just put there name on it .

@@AirgunChannel Alright cant wait!

@@joedokes8641 Oh dang umerax loves snatching stuff from snowpeak

@@gboutdoors5198 You said a mouthful there bud as in Notos = Artemis pp750 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Is that a fact? I don't remember saying that. Just turn it up. It was only at half power.

@@AirgunChannel You didn't say that bro. Pyramid air told me that when I asked... I went to the link in the description and the live chat popped up. I asked if I can use slugs and they said unfortunately not with this model. I was going to buy it.

Yeah their Customer Service Dept. is scandalouse. A bunch of crooked thieves. I am one of thier victims.

What gun is that?

@@AirgunChannel Oh, I forgot to type the full name. It's Remington MSR

Your the second person who said that but it works OK for me: ru-vid.com?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1FjTUhvZVpmMXJpLWJiMWtCaU1QNW5ZX1lJZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttRjdzVVN2RFpQbndxbDUyRWIzU0wzTG1OZVpmQnF1cXF2NFJLZXZESndXTWQ3a2NEc3VYNUtQb3cyMFZpOHBNWWZKUTVkY05YWjRkcnBueHpqcjZSaDJSYTBDcmF0ZXRYM2V3ZUwxOEQ5NDlVZVY1cw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jdoqocy.com%2Fclick-100005961-12817065%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.pyramydair.com%252Fproduct%252Fhatsan-factor-sniper-long%253Fm%253D6171%2526page%253D1%2526query%253Dsniper%252Bl%2526lang%253Den%2526searchConfigId%253D643645070c547549270ccc15&v=0ZHuNVW_PIE

Very interesting. Yes, a good barrel will achieve the best accuracy a gun can make. I'm glad you can shoot air rifles over there. Greetings from the USA! -Nate

@@AirgunChannel we are limited to0.177 cal 20 joules ,after throwing some extra bucks we can get whatever caliber we want in high power , not legal though, but if we can throw some extra bucks, we can get bigger calibers with no power limit 20j.177 limit was set in 2016, before that we used to shoot .22 , now my buddies are getting FX all the way from 0.177 to 9mm

Link in the description to buy it.

They did. Check here: www.pyramydair.com/product/hatsan-factor-sniper-long?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&m=6171&page=1&query=sniper+l&lang=en&searchConfigId=643645070c547549270ccc15&.pyramydair.com&Airgun+Channel&cjevent=5bdae56f395e11ef819201040a1eba22

You could do it. That was only turned up half way.

@@AirgunChannel thats my kinda rifle , to me pellets are like a prop ww2 aircraft and where in vietnam with migs and f4 phantoms ( slugs) doh get me wrong they both have there uses

The barrel it tensioned pretty hard.

@AirgunChannel on my standard factor there's just 1 Allen grub screw securing the barrel into the block. As it came, it was a sloppy fit, so I shimmed it with a wrap of thin aluminium from a beer can. That made a huge improvement. Here in the UK they're limited to sub 12 ft lb but it's so easy to get past the anti tamper and get that up to 50ft lb with a 34 grain pellet. AND it's easy to return to sub 12 so as to be completely legal.

It can be bad for sure.

Hatsan would have to pay for to do that. If you shoot over 950 FPS you will get 6 inch groups vs 1/2 inch groups.

@@AirgunChannel Use slugs/boat tails etc push the power, its nice to see the limits. If all the rifles are always using the same fps it's little boring. Of course drag ballistics ie Diablo I understand that 950. Pushing the power, barrel length and twist even distance etc is cool. When someone has drops at shorter distance it just means underpowered.

@@AirgunChannel even in this case with 6+ inch groups it still would have been neat to see it maxed out and the havoc that would result on board and fruit target etc...lol

@@AirgunChannel have good wk in any case

It ain't 4K! I have to really zoom in.

Exactly! -Nate

The Factor and Factor RC are different guns. The Factor should suck for $600

Pre-order through the link and I'll make $60!

@@AirgunChannel Man thats some big bucks but sadly I cant afford it but one day I will!

I did not try them but you can tune it to shoot any power...it was only half way turned up in the video..at half power.

smiles both videos are really good, but i was wanting to see the .357 sniper long in action giggles, but thanks true good review and that is all we ask for nate the last word @airgunz_militia you tube

How can I purchase this sniper

No, it's not loud.

Good one!

You want this: www.krale.shop/us/hatsan-factor-sniper-s/

@@AirgunChannel This is the "Shorter" version of the Factor RC??? Looks really sweet. Can you put a longer barrel and cylinder if you wanted to? make it a full size version? are the barrels removable and cylinder? Does this gun need a "Moderator" is it backyard friendly ?

I may be able to get a quarter at 100+ yards. Not a dime. If Hatsan would help with these videos I could do stuff like that, but not untill then. Show me the money! -Nate

@@AirgunChannel Oke man check all the youtube clips ..all the negative are gone 🤣🤣🤣 maybe they paid them like they did ..for the semi auto pistol .1 guy just 1 guy did not take the money and you still see his clip on youtube ..the only 1 guy..so funny .. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GUu3_TEKJII.html

I also don't really like the company, they are dirty scumbags, but this gun shoots well.

Yeah, feels like one too! Really cool gun!

link in description

Yes, try 925 or even 950 with those slugs. The groups will elt you know if you succeded.

@@AirgunChannel plan on it after i have had the challenger for a year i will increase the barrel port diameter and thus the velocity by another 20fpe, and will have to use the power wheel to tune 40gr hnn slugs down to 950fps. but to get that now gotta fill tank to 4500psi and the shot string is different smiles, but i do understand ya. i probably sux, i an completely blind and till i get the parabolic mic on a rail i will only be shooting at 30 ft or 10 meters. but in my blind world a deer sized target at that distance is really something. i can hit it 47 out of 50 times completely blind. so for those shots you nake , i sux right now, but for the shots i make, can you do any better, lets say towel wrapped around your head and all ya gotta do is hit anywhere on a 6"x9" piece of metal. from 10 meters or about 30feet away. smiles you can even run a rope from the target to you so you know about what directio n it is when you slide the barrel along the rope. you can make a bench and square it off do you know what is the area of the shooting lane. you can even hold your airgun at the target while you wrap the towel around your head with the other hand just before you start shooting. but me , i am just blind, so i tap the sides of each wire in my square and aim at the middle and about where i guess 30 feet away would be at the height where i set the target metal, and i shoot and run bolt till it is done. smiles, what if something happened and you could no longer see where the target was? be prepared, it could happen, it very well could go dark for everyone, for a time. i just happen to be getting in blind practice now, for that day. and when my parabolic mic is scoped to a rail and zeroed. smiles hearing the heartbeat of a deer or hog, the chewing of berries or the rooting for roots hearing that at a hundred yards would be music to my ears. so i am inventing that device. i still only have the two plates that will adjust my pick mount left/right up /down... and if i had a dove 2 pick riser that also had adjustments like that, i would be good with my parabolic now. cause putting it onto a pick rail would be easy, but i need that adjustment so anyone could zero it on any rifle? i have not found a good adjustable pick riser from dovetail or pick 2 pick... anyway, hope you are blessed , the last word @airgunz_militia
