AEA Challenger "Full Review"

[@bertfelix]

Hi JC, I own 12 AEA's the vast majority of them are the Challenger series, and the Challenger Pro. In my humble opinion for the money, the quality is up there with almost any $1500 to $1800 air rifle. I've been buying these rifles for years and never had a leak, or any of the multitude of problems that seem to plague the industry. Great job on the review! MSgt USMC Retired

[@AirgunDetectives]

I couldn't agree more...and the price point on this rifle..$350 very difficult to beat! Have a great weekend!

[@stevengoodman3498]

Thank you for your service! I have the 30 caliber bullpup version of this rifle and man it's powerful. No leaks with this one either, just wish the trigger was better as it's heavy.😊

[@antoninogerbino4074]

@bertfelix I am going to buy Challenger Pro 24". Pro 35 is significantly louder than Pro 30, please? Shooting both with same suppressor.

[@YDCFF_]

Thanks for another great review JC. Thanks for the tip on the ping as well. AEA has taken the Airgun industry by storm. No One can match their quality for the price.

[@AirgunDetectives]

I appreciate your continued the support. Have a great weekend!

[@michaelvasquez3995]

Wow!!! That's fairly quiet for an airgun that's producing 22 pistol power right there 😮amazing!!

[@AirgunDetectives]

They are great rifles! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!😉

[@dannyarmata8878]

I have the .25 challenger with reg that AEA made for it and i love it. The reg turned it into a quiet tack driver

[@AirgunDetectives]

They are a bargain for $350. Have a great weekend!

[@MartinBrito-lb4ef]

Another awesome upload, by the true legend JC .....

[@AirgunDetectives]

Martin, I appreciate the continued support and have a great weekend!

[@nlmeireles5109]

Ola JC, brilliant review as they always are. Great tip on how to eliminate ping easily. Have a great weekend. Happy shooting. cheers

[@AirgunDetectives]

Hello my friend...again I really appreciate your loyal support and have a great weekend!

[@stevenhorney7735]

Thank you for another great review! That is a very impressive rifle, and especially for the price!

[@dannyarmata8878]

Great shooting by the way

[@locksmithsilva1163]

That’s beautiful rifle

[@AirgunDetectives]

I totally agree! Thank you for watching!

[@dannyarmata8878]

I was going to buy a $30 depinger so glad you made this video

[@AirgunDetectives]

$2.00 is much better than $30 😉👍

[@stevengoodman3498]

Great review JC! I have the 30 caliber bullpup Challenger and and the only thing i don't like about it is the 5 lb heavy trigger. Thanks for showing us how to get rid of the ping sound with the plastic tubing as well. Have an awesome weekend man!🎉😊

[@Aaron-us5iu]

Great groups I was going to get one of those before I got my MA2 .30 but I wanted the side lever big bore one in .457

[@brorjordas1979]

Sweet!

[@AirgunDetectives]

For the $, this is hard to beat!!

[@eck2go]

I am drooling with envy, not only with the price of circa $350 but also the power of the rifle, in the UK we have a limit of 12 ft/lbs (unless you have a fire arms certificate), the price you guys pay is way, way lower than we do. We pay more than £350 for a sub 12ft/lbs SPRINGER!. Really enjoy your videos even though it makes me very envious.

[@AirgunDetectives]

Thank you for your comments! At least you can own an air rifle, there are some places in this world they can't. Have a great weekend! 👍👍

[@OCofthe3]

I make a killer chassis for these that takes almost a pound off of the gun. I’d be happy to send you one.

[@maximpestsolutions3696]

Thanks for the Video review and the Tip for the 'ping' ,👉🎯. God 🙏 Bless ✝️💛.

[@AirgunDetectives]

Thanks again for your continued support and have a great weekend! 😉👍

[@redauwg911]

nice and affordable👍

[@AirgunDetectives]

Yes, this is a bargain. Have a great weekend!

[@JamesWhyde-c3r]

I watched your review on the Challenger today. I liked the review been wanting to buy a pcp air gun was looking hard at the MA2 in 25 cal you may have changed my mind on that. Witch one would you recommend would really appreciate any knowledge on the air guns. Thanks Jim Whyde

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

Holy cow 🐮 on that first target 🎯 😎👍

[@AirgunDetectives]

Hi Peter, these rifles are such sleepers...especially for $350 range!

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

@@AirgunDetectives good thing you did a presentation of them .

[@MichaelWhite-cx4ho]

VERY appealing gun, especially at the price, and I agree with "bramster;" your reviews are worth their weight in gold. Question: Do you or The Pellet Shop or any of your viewers have any knowledge re: how the .35 cal performs? Wondering what kind of small game at what distances the .35 could handle. As always, JC, what you've contributed in this life will echo, without a ping, throughout eternity.

[@AirgunDetectives]

I am going to do a review in the near future on a .35 Challenger Pro as well as a .30 caliber, so we'll get you all the details on those models. This same model Challenger 24 in .35 Cal will give you well over 125 FPE and I would guess 50-75 yards in hunting range. Thanks again for leaving comments.

[@domingoliao2724]

What a nice review! JC! it should have been more nicer if you use their pellets, AEA center punch, available in 25.3, 29.5. , and 33.9 gr. that goes with the .22s’ their pellets are far more nicer than anything else including JSB, they are built shinier clean & well shaped!

[@AirgunDetectives]

True, they make great pellets, I just ran out of the .25 cal. Have a great weekend!

[@domingoliao2724]

@@AirgunDetectives The accurate ones in JTS in 22 cal. are the 16.08 gr.& the 22.07 gr. in the .25 cal. the 33.00gr. and all those dome pellets not those semi domes that has a flatter top it is slow and bit inaccurate!

[@chriswedgworth]

Awesome

[@AirgunDetectives]

Hi Chris...have a great weekend!

[@heathhalfhill6867]

Excellent review and brilliant idea to stop the ping! The ping kills me on some PCPs. It to me sounds cheap and under engineered. For 2$ on top of that you resolved a major annoyance at least to me…that the engineer should have done before it left the factory😒. Would be happy to pay the difference for that single step they left out. Stay safe and thanks.

[@AirgunDetectives]

Yes, such an easy fix, they should do it at the factory. Have a great weekend!

[@TheRiddimselecta]

Question: I always wondered if there were advantages to Bolt actions vs Semi Auto as far as air riffles are concerned?

[@blackdiesel]

You can get this rifle regulated also.

[@gradycollins4782]

Do you know where to find the .357 24" barrel standard stock?

[@robertomendoza3187]

Tuve el mismo rifle es el aea Challenger estandar y nunca me agrupo con ningun pelets o ojiva o esluga se que el rifle no es regulado que cre usted que pudo ser para que el rifle nunca me agrupara

[@coaldust01]

Sub-12 in the uk, But a 130ftlb compund crossbow and razor sharp broad heads are fully legal, And we are not allowed to defend ourselves even if someone comes into our home, We can only use a dinner tray or a rolling pin etc, Have you ever heard of laws so stupid.

[@AirgunDetectives]

Not surprising! This world is so upside-down now! Bring back the common sense!!!

[@gradycollins4782]

Thats why the united states is here lmao

[@kurtthomas4746]

Good morning, hope all is well. That is a very nice looking rifle for sure, especially at that price point. Myself I would pay a bit more if it was regulated. Great review as always…… Trump 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@AirgunDetectives]

Yes, but out of all the unregulated rifles, this one performs by far the best! I was pleasantly surprised and at $350, it is unbeatable! Have a great weekend my friend!!!

[@scinner28]

WHY you have the screw ???i dont have it on mine ..wtf ...`THis was made for the testers ???I am so ??Nah i know testers get the guns with reg ..N00bs like me get the BS guns ,Not your fault ..But oke BS guns
