Thank you for watching. AAR merchandise available from www.aar-onair.com thanks to the shop www.vector-air.co.uk

[@rolandkeys8297]

Why is it that every review I watch , I get the desire to by the gun

[@alancummings7107]

I brought one a couple of months ago did my pellet testing with it it’s true it does need some pellets through it before you get good results, the best pellets I found was believe it or not RWS power balls getting pellet on pellet and it drives them deep into wooden back stop , so don’t give up on this gun it was worth every penny.

[@drmichaelatkins]

Great to see "budget" rifles vs the £2000 kits that we swoon over. Let's knock the snob value of expensive rifles on the head and let entry levels have a say on the basics of accuracy and precision.

[@Big-Cjl-Chris]

Absolutely agree I have a RM8 and I'm very happy with it.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

I've been lucky enough to have top end ltd edition daystates ,FX impacts,theoben Mfr,s etc etc ,but my favourite rifles to use are old mk 3 bsa super tens, no gauge,no quick fill, and a clunky bolt action , I can achieve the same accuracy with it as I can with an electronic daystate so ,it's really good to see guns like this on the market,it proves you don't need a huge wallet to enjoy shooting.

[@drdoom-skull2244]

I have a second-hand RM8 I got for £295. The FX Impact 3 is of course better but is also £1500 more.

[@BionicRusty]

@@aboutthemetal8783 as a novice shooter, comments like yours are great to read. Thanks for posting. I shoot a TX200HC at the moment (phenomenal springer) and want a pcp soon. My current ‘want’ is an AA S400. It’s accuracy I’m after but on a reasonable budget. All the best. 👍👍

[@geoffcampion6977]

@@BionicRusty had loads of really good shooting, and, tight groups with my Gamo Venari, excellent ratter as well, does have a vector 6 x 24 x 50 scope on it, which helps, normal shooting range is between 35 - and 50 mtr, and its a budget gun, not everyones choice but i like it

[@RandysRides]

I just bought a Crosman "Fire" and totally agree with what you said about rifles needing a bunch of rounds put through them before the grouping comes together.

[@scousewillo62]

What a cracking rifle. I cant see anything I would change, Foster fitting, large capacity and big mags. Those groups where tightening up nicely at 40m. Another top review, cheers Andy

[@heksogen4788]

They could have pushed bipod rail toward the front.

[@patricianewman3753]

I bought one in .22 a few months back. I really like it... But... It is a little industrial in construction and needed plenty of bedding in. The barrel needed a couple of tins through it and a light clean before full performance was reached. The valve on the filling port/bottle, not sure which, is prone to sticking but again with use seems to have sorted itself out. Overall good value, and is the 3rd Hatsan I have bought.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

It would be nice to see the higher end companies supplying two magazines with their rifles .

[@Richardcecker]

Thanks Andy! I just received mine. I added a Hawke 3-9x40 AO mil dot scope and a bipod (Looks to be the same one you used in your test footage). I am very happy with it. Thanks again for all you do!

[@logangallagher7050]

What pellets did you find best with the hatsan factor?

[@mikeoconnell2786]

Great videos I'm new to your channel with about 12 months I've been back watching vids I ve alot to catch up on..so far I'm well impressed with your channel . Your reviews and videos are spot on great job Andy and crew 👍

[@airgunshooterssyndicate103]

Some of the best reviews on KZbin

[@muchasgracias6976]

With a barrel that long it gives you the option to either shoot or poke your target, plus the size of the cylinder allows you to refill your Zeppelin when it runs flat.

[@williamhart4896]

For a 500. Pound air rifle they have given you a very complete kit looks like a great value for your dollar package

[@andrewcrofts531]

So much gun for such a good price! I've had a couple of Hatsan's and they have been reasonable for the money. The quatro trigger is great and works well. Not sure about the overall length of this one, especially if you stick a silencer on the end. I think it would make a good 'hide' gun for the pigeons though what with the huge shot count etc... Great review once again Andy, cheers and keep safe pal.

[@stevensanger]

Great review Andy, that is a lot of kit for the money and probably a good starter kit

[@simonnoble7589]

Great Review Andy, hatson are really trying to improve. Nice kit for under 500. Thanks for your hard work Andy. Cheers Simon from York

[@simonperkins781]

I actually bought the factor rc from vector takes little to settle down, dump the qe system and go with a silencer far better, accuracy is spot on!

[@lewisholbrook585]

Another great review, Andy. Kind of like an FX Impact M3, but with loads of extra gear, and nearly a quarter of the price!

[@gingerbreadaudio]

Great review, I just purchased one in 22 can't wait to take it out on the range.

[@timshelley8635]

Great video! Looks like a winner! Thanks Andy!

[@danhattersley6213]

Nice rifle, little heavy for me. Word of warning about the bipod though, letting the legs fly out like that under the spring tension will soon break it, trust me, I've had a few of these, best off pressing the button with the bipod against your leg and easing the legs out, or stopping the legs flying out using your little finger and then easing the legs out..... a hell of a lot quieter too!

[@GaisaSanktejo]

I broke my one of those bipods within two minutes, not my favourite type of grip/bipod combo. I"d already bought a viable alternative on Amazon for £10, so, no real loss

[@danhattersley6213]

@@magnaseeker1933 very good mate 👍

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

Cheers for the tip.

[@mikehunt8968]

Great rifle, the only problem I have with mine is the adjustable length stock is a bit wobbly.... oh, and the case limits the size of scope you can fit, if you want to still use it...

[@chrisbluck7276]

Yet another absolutely amazing review Andy. I actually really like that one, I probably shouldn't but I really do.

[@frankcross2297]

Thanks for the review. Hopefully the next gen will have a barrel band, no barrel droop, and be able to get closer to what the Avenger is currently capable of doing in regards to group size at 40m. What precision and accuracy can you achieve by single shot rather than clip? The bolt probe usually dings the pellet skirts on these cheaper rifles if you utilize a magazine.

[@supportdesk7703]

Great one thanks! Was waiting for a good review of this remarkable and affordable air gun :-)

[@grandtrunk49]

Good review. I believe your reviews to be non bias and factually presented. Your review conclusions lead me to believe that they are true and honest without the over opinionated hype. I just purchased this rifle today, 1/4/22 and trust that my experience will be as positive as was yours.

[@RogueBrit]

Got this rifle a few weeks ago and accuracy is excellent

[@logangallagher7050]

@RogueBrit hi what pellets did you find best with the hatsan factor

[@johndemtopics1377]

What range would you be certain of a first round hit on a 10cm diameter target still? And what caliber do you have it chambered in?

[@cblack1green]

I think we need to stop labelling these guns as budget rifles, maybe everything over £750 should be referred to as expensive guns.

[@sniffles3585]

Agreed budget means about half this price

[@brazeification2]

Exactly my thoughts

[@catherineharris4746]

FACTS!👍👍👍👍👍

[@dudeyfeb88coach]

Its budget to him who has a large northern house with a garden nearly the size of a small activity center like pgl windmill hill .He did not make his money from selling air guns and doing these videos where he admits he gets very little .Probably engineer , inheritance ,but knowing very little world things like believing in a buying into the worlds deadliest plague , solar panels which are very toxic to produce and recently admitting to electric cars not being that good for the planet .He's like a BBC Air gun presenter , for which he took as a compliment lol.

[@spikeydapikey1483]

*wonders what the trade in on my AT-44 would be??* Really like the look of this one. Great price as well !! Cheers.

[@FenWolf68]

Got a .22 Hatsan AT44-10 that I bullpupped years ago and its my primary tackdriver to this day. If this Factor was available in .25 I'd be ordering one right now ;-j

[@GaisaSanktejo]

It is, but you have to import it and that's practically impossible due to shipping issues caused by the UK's leaving the EU, something that'll take a while to resolve

Hi Andy thanks for another great budget rifle and on one from Hatsan that really looks impressive ,you have just added another one to think about when I go and buy from the guys at Vector Air ,as I can't seem to find a good airgun shop here in Stratford upon Avon since leaving my home town Coalville in Leicestershire.

I reakon if they put a shorter barrel on it would be better, but nice to see a budget rifle with so much to offer

[@alexdrifts1188]

i bought one a couple of months ago the only thing i have found an issue is the bipod mount no matter how much you tighten it it loosens off, i'm going to have to think of a way of fixing it so it doesn't move again. but that's my only negative.

Hatsan never disappoint 💯

[@hugostieglitz238]

I’ve had quite a few problems. Mine is now back in the shop for the fifth time. trigger issues and filler port. apart from that, it’s a cracking rifle.

[@GaisaSanktejo]

As someone who owns the all black version of this air rifle, I was pleased by your review 👍 I found your experience pretty much echoed mine and yes, the performance and accuracy improved with each shot! While considered a budget airgun, I couldn't be happier with mine and use it for both fun/plinking, targets and pest control 👍👌😁

[@GaisaSanktejo]

Just a small update from my last post; I recently purchased a gun calibration rest and after zeroing my digital scope in, I fired about a hundred rounds at static targets and the accuracy was INCREDIBLE! It was consistently hitting within 5-10mm (around 1/4 to 3/8 inch) at range without fliers! I could, have and did shoot the firing caps out of used shotgun cartridges at the same range and yes, as previously mentioned, I have used this tool for pest control. I know some people have had problems with this particular model, but I have had none of those, the original accuracy did improve as I ran a couple of tins through it, but I have come to accept this with all airguns I have purchased, so I was quite happy to do this. All in all, I love the Hatsan Factor and would happilly reccomend this airgun to others!

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

Nice rig but don’t care much for the looks of the bottle. Easily fixed with a clip on cover that makes it looks authentic. Send that to Hatsan Andrew!

[@docthebiker]

Hatsan put all the goodies on this rifle and then don't put in a regulator (something I'd want with a choke). If there's one criticism I have for your reviews it's that lack of spread figures. A good spread = better repeatability. So please can you start to include them Andy. Admittedly this monster isn't likely to wimp out over the course of a tin, but if pellets are unsized then a choke can bite into the spread.

[@anthonyprice5596]

It's good to see someone is producing rifles at reasonable prices, and not following this bullpup trend. Andy didn't mention the price of the carbon bottle, just it was available? But for the price that would give a lot of pleasure down the range, and could show the flash Harry's with their FXs a thing or two.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

It's just under £100 more.
