[@brianreiss6036]

I got the std pro 35 a year ago. I saw Rob Vogel [mr hp] take one out of the box and got 196 fpe with @ 120 grn slug, a few months later he got another one to test some of his new slugs but only got 160 fpe. I saw mine had the reg at 195 bar when I got it and was only getting 160 fpe. I put about 10 grams of weight on the hammer and machine bushings to add @ 3.5 mm to preload the hammer spring and raised the FPE to about 210. Then lowered the reg to @ 175 BAR and got 193 FPE. Final shot count was 15 to 16 depending on weight of ammo. 90 grain HP slugs can hit soda cans at 100 yards.NSA 125 grn go 840 FPS. sighted in at 70 yrds makes 100 yrd shots 4 inch ctc. POLISH YOUR BARRELS !

Good stuff. I'm going to do a full review on Challenger Elite 357 cal in a couple of weeks. Those are getting over 250 FPE.

[@brianreiss6036]

Does Bin at the pellet shop have the elite in 357? I'd love to have externally adjustable on the pro!! changing the setting is wonky!! Took me 2 days of experimenting. too low at 145 bar and too high at 210. I'm afraid to touch it now that I got it set to 175. That is the only gripe is drain and refill @@backyardairguns

[@226eagleeye]

Impressive groups for a new gun that you never fired before.

[@Bigbopperairguns]

I shot through a 2x6 with a 22 challenger pro and i shot throughout a 4x4 with my tuned 457 challenger

[@motorgearhead]

AEA is upping their game. This rifle is a nice piece and the accuracy is impressive. Love the side cocking lever and being a repeater. But since the 35 is a bigbore, I would like to offer something in "single-shot" 30 caliber for comparison. The rifle is the AirForce Texan in .308 and if power is what you want, it will better the 35Pro and can exceed 275 fpe. The accuracy sweet spot (for me) is in the 120 grain range. If you use an unregulated 30 min SCBA tank filled to 3000 psi and connect to the rifle, you will get about 60 shots making ~240 fpe and at 50 yards, will closely match the accuracy potential of the 35Pro. I'm not going to tell you the Texan is a better rifle. It is so different in its design and intended purpose that you can't really compare it to the 35 Pro unless you just want to consider Accuracy & Power and not the other strengths that the Pro offers that the Texan can't and never will match due to it's design. However, it is probably the most powerful 30 cal rifle you can buy stock out of the box. Again, if you're considering the 35 Pro, the .308 Texan probably isn't of interest to you but I thought I would suggest it if you are leaning toward being able to put high FPE on your medium size game using a 30-35 caliber platform. Here is my 65 shot unregulated tethering test at 50 yards... It rivals the 35Pro from what I saw. and I'm using my own cast ammo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYXHYqOjo96qY80

[@backyardairguns]

Good groups at 50 yards. I agree the AirForce Texan and AEA Challenger Pro are very different rifles. I bought an AirForce Talon P in 25 Cal a few months ago and was blown away by the unregulated power in this gun. I see now why the AirForce rifles are known for power. I plan to do a video soon on the Talon P soon.

[@motorgearhead]

@@backyardairguns - I’ll be looking to the talon video. I’m wanting to add another rifle that is capable of pushing 15 grn or heavier .177 slugs at over 950 fps. The talon can probably do that and offers a interchangeable caliber/barrel if I’m not mistaken. I’m just not sure about the accuracy.

[@Bigbopperairguns]

Keep in mind he is not at full power, and this gun will blow the Texan out of the water in every caliber

[@Bigbopperairguns]

If you don't have the regulater set at 3k and your speed dile set at 12 p.m., you are not showing the true power

[@motorgearhead]

@@Bigbopperairguns - it needs to considering my .308 can make 275-280 fpe. I can pretty closely match the accuracy demonstrated by the .357 also.

[@backyardairguns]

I agree. I have seen unpublished photos of a fan of mine who has one of these new, updated rifles. Looks to have externally adjustable hammer And externally adjustable regulator. I'm trying to get one of these upgraded Challenger Pros and make some videos on it. These seem to be really nice upgrades.

[@stoecklinr]

I own a Challenger Pro, and I saw a problem you were also having, which I have noticed on mine. Whenever the gun is cocked the magazine pops out just enough to not allow the projectile to chamber unless it's given a slight push back in alignment with the barrel! This has always been an issue from day one! The next biggest issue is the plastic very cheaply made magazines! In cold Temps, they have been known to shatter! This gun would be a lot better imo, if those things were addressed by AEA, not to mention a carbon fiber bottle! I love my Pro, but it really could be a lot better! IMO!

[@backyardairguns]

All good points. The issue with the magazine sliding out of alignment needs to addressed by AEA. I just recently bought an AEA Challenger Elite 357 and the magazine have the same problem.

[@Dupree403]

I have aea challenger 30 cal 32 inch barrel. Great gun but the magazine does the samething

[@Monkeydad1969]

On the mag issue you all are having, does your mag have a tight fit, or is it loose when you load the mags? You may need to adjust the barrel to have the mag seat more snug. You need to loosen the barrel lock nut so you can screw the barrel a bit more into the breech.

[@backyardairguns]

Great point to adjust the barrel. I never thought of that. I will try. Thanks

[@Monkeydad1969]

[@mykhaylostetsyuk8017]

Very good review, well done, you just got new subscriber. What's your opinion for accuracy on 30 cal? Would it do better than 35 cal?

[@backyardairguns]

Thanks Mykhaylo! That is a great question and I'm not sure of the answer... yet. I shot in the Pyramyd Cup competition in August with my FX M3 30 Cal and did well for a rookie. I've never seen a 35 Cal used in bench rest competition; usually, mostly 30 Cal. I'm going to spend some more time at the range with the new AEA 35 Cal and see if it will keep up with an FX and if 35 Cal can compete.

[@KevinWood44]

I need to look into this more.

[@Bigbopperairguns]

I'm shooting a 25 cal and I got a 34 6 grain at 1180 Fps = 112 FPE at 3000 psi and 200 bar on the regulater

[@Bigbopperairguns]

I can't go higher than 3000 PSI, It will get valve locked because my regulator won't hold pressure, so when i try to put more than 3000 PS, I. it will continue to go over 200 bar, and I don't want to hurt anything, so I keep it at 3000psi . These are still very impressive results for only 3000 PSI . I. I've never seen a 25-caliber shot this hard ever on any platform. If so, please show me where I can find this info.

[@backyardairguns]

112 FPE for a 25 Cal is crazy (in a good way) :-)

[@hectorlopez-oz5wn]

Nice video. Have you noticed the Western Rattler Semi Auto cal. .35? Could it be compared to the Challenger Pro? At least in the price there is a big difference.

[@backyardairguns]

I don't think the Western Rattler is in the same group/class as the AEA Challenger Long Barrel. The Western Rattler is close to $3K in price; the AEA is $895. I don't own a Western Rattler so I can't compare the two.

[@AnotherJonDoe]

In reguards to the 2024 Pyramyd Cup competition, would you choose your FX M3 .30, this AEA Challenger .35 Long Barrel or your AEA Challenger 30 ....at this point in time? Also, how does your Challenger .30 and your FX M3 .30 compare in sound to each other? (I realize this .35 long bore is much louder! ) Thanks much! Your putting out some GREAT content!

[@backyardairguns]

Great question and one that I knew was going to be asked. :-) My FX Impact M3 in 30 Cal is still more accurate at 100 yards than my AEA Challenger PRO in any caliber. I spent all summer at the range tuning the FX M3 to shoot at 100 yards. It can hit pencil erasers at 100 yards in no wind. I have to do more practicing shooting in wind to get ready for the Pyramyd Cup in 2024. The AEA rifles are a lot more powerful and hit a lot more harder than the FX rifles. The difference in accuracy (in my opinion) is the FX has a more refined rifled barrel suited to shot pellets at long range. I shoot a 1 in 14 slow twist barrel in my FX 30 Cal that is made for pellet accuracy. This is something the AEA rifles have not reached... Yet. :-)

[@backyardairguns]

The FX 30 cal is more quite that the AEA 30 Cal. The 357 in any rifle are crazy loud.

[@user-ht8qi9ue2y]

What do you think for coyote head shot at 100yrds.or buy fx dynamic 600mm barrel in 357

[@backyardairguns]

In my opinion, both rifles will take down coyotes with head shots at 100 yards. The FX will be more accurate overall, and you can change barrels, but at twice the cost.

[@user-ht8qi9ue2y]

Is fx worth the extra money? 🤔

[@backyardairguns]

In my opinion... Yes. I own two FX Impact M3 rifles, and they are amazing rifles. I have many AEA rifles, and they are great value also. Either one will work well for you.

Hi Tony, Please send me an email at [e-mail]

[@travelcompass591]

🤠 Hi, I watched the video again and wondered how much silent would the .30 cal version of the Challenger Pro LB be. Have you measured the difference? Also since you own the other standard challenger Pros in .30 cal did you notice a significant noise difference between them and the LB in .35? Thank you 👍

[@backyardairguns]

The 30 cal version will be not as loud as the 35 cal. I can shoot the 30 cal Challenger in my backyard with a moderator; but it still might be too loud for a lot of backyards. I loaned my 30 cal Challenger Pro to my neighbor to go deer hunting with so I don't have access to that rifle yet. When I get it back I will do some DB sound testing with it and follow up with you. Happy Shooting, Mike

[@travelcompass591]

🤠Thank you so much, it would be awesome if you can do that 👍 to learn if the loudness difference is significant enough to justify giving up the more powerful 35 cal. I suppose the problem is that one wants everything: power, longest distance, accuracy... and silence. Since all that is not possible it requires significant research to learn what is the formula one can live with for each rifle type and caliber; some pros and some cons. What I learned hunting boar with the CZ in .308 was that because “the huge noise” is not easy to find hunting grounds that were far away enough from the edge of wilderness villages and non-hunting farmers that would be comfortable with someone they don’t know shooting in “their” neighborhood where they have lived all their lives. Boars cover large distances and as you follow the packs before sunrise or at dusk you often end up in places you never been before, so the ideal is a as silent as possible gun. According to the information you have given me I would love to have the power and accuracy of the Challenger Pro LB, but I am worried about doing an impractical purchase considering my hunting geography because the noise level. "That is why I started looking for comparative data on the Challenger Pro and Challenger Pro LB in .30 cal." * I suppose the FPE for the Challenger Pro in .30 Cal would be around 116; - but I have not seen the FPE for the “Challenger Pro LB” in .30 cal. - Another fellow on KZbin perforated through two chickens placed in a row at 100 yards with a .30 cal. Daystate rifle measuring 90 FPE. Is not as tough as hitting mammal fibrous meat and bone but useful information.

[@travelcompass591]

🤠 I forgot to mention that I will pick the best moderator, big, whatever. The Biggest I have seen is the Emperor, I assume the size has a reason for being@@backyardairguns

[@backyardairguns]

I would opt to go with the Long Barrel version over the standard Challenger Pro version in both 30 and 35 cal. The Pellet Shop dropped the price of the Long Barrel to $850, and the standard version is $760. For $90 more you get a longer 30 inch barrel, a larger 170cc plenum, a better butt stock, better accuracy, and 50 fpe more. No brainer to me for only $90 more. The next level up is the AEA Challenger Elite in 357 cal for $997. This rifle is made to take down bear, elephants, zombies, etc. It is almost as loud as a 308 rimfire, with or without a DonnyFL. It puts out 270 fpe and will shoot through 16 plate steel at 100 yards. I have two videos coming out in 2 weeks on this rifle. 😁💪

Where did you find it for $600 to $700?

The way you pull the trigger is messing up your groups, slowly pull it till your right at the 2nd stage then pull the trig , your yanking that trigger aggressive moving your rifle.

Thanks SoCal - I will give that a try. I have a review coming soon on the Challenger Pro 30 Cal Long Barrel.

I don't know about a pellet through a 4X4, but my .457 will stick a slug through FIVE 2X4's... Not a pellet but, you know.... To make it interesting I put the air rifle up against a 44 mag slinging 240grn LaserCast solid @~1200 fps and a 45 Super slinging a 260 grain cast WW lead & powder coated @ ~1200 fps. The Air Rifle holds it's own.... The air rifle is firing a 419 grain WW slug at about 840 fps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnS3aaCZiN2DkKM
