AEA Challenger Pro .30 Review + Accuracy Test + Tuning Guide (w/ the T-Eagle AOIR Rifle Scope)

[@michaelpintal5419]

Just purchased my 30 caliber AEA Challenger Pro from The Pellet Shop from Bin, I mentioned to him that I learned about this gun from your channel and mentioned how detailed your videos are, so thanks for all the detailed reviews you do

[@georgetripp6727]

[@davyboone1794]

I totally respect you for how you are honest about when you get a free gun for a review. I can't think of any other KZbin reviewer that discloses that information. To me that kind of honesty traverses over to the review itself and gives me confidence in what you're saying and presenting. Apart from all that still the best airgun reviewer on KZbin, always look forward to your content here:-)

I agree I am trying to be as good but he is a super solid reviewer. It takes real work to do what he does.

So here i am after putting a few hundred rounds through my Challenger Pro .30 cal, and have seen enegry of almost 145 ftlbs. 25 more than advertised. I did turn my reg up to 200 bar and power wheel on high with 100 grain slug!

[@vincentdavi3514]

Bro you are one of the, if not THE BEST dude doin' air gun reviews, absolutely love this channel and I always share your videos. I watch all your video's, you explain so much relevant detail yet you don't wordsmith so anyone from beginner to expert will understand what you're explaining. I actually have this EXACT air gun BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO! YOU got me sold on this thing and man did you hit it on the head, it is it AWESOME! And FOX AIR POWER is definitely who you want to buy from, that dude Terry over there is so great to do business with, guy knows everything about the products he sells, type of service that's very hard to find today.

[@donaldlundy345]

Great video review of the AEA Challenger 30 cal

[@ryankienbaum8894]

Little secret,I put a piece of soft side velcro in between the folding part of the stock and a little round 3M tab in between the stock and gun where it hits when you fold it and a scope ring screw in stock to tighten it up and doing that that is no rattle and tightens everything up nicely 👍! Also don't forget your barrel band!

[@AirgunChannel]

Great idea with the velcro! Barrel band this weekend!

[@jeffreystroman2811]

Rubber tubing, if you have a selection of say, vaccum hoses, you'll find a few whose diameter fits tightly into the 1/4" deep hole in that closure area, then trim off until the desired tightness when opening the stock. You can make it so tight it actually helps hold the latch. Rubber tubing is my go to, like sliding some over the bolt of the HP series to make nice with your fingers when cocking

100% an FX KILLER!👍👍 💡Plus you can buy 2 of these and 4000 rounds of Neilson slugs for the price of 1 FX airgun, and you don't even have to buy all that extra💩to make the gun shoot accurately like you have to do with the FX!😂👍👍👍👍👍

[@scottmcauley5781]

@@dangerous8333 I've got both the FX Impact M3 an the AEA pro challenger . They're both very accurate guns . Unless you're the type of person who cares about shooting holes in holes there both great guns. If you're the person who likes to tinker with things and want perfection and are a perfectionist you'll go with the Fx and if you just want to go out and have fun and don't care about hitting the same holes then you'll buy the AEA . The Fx's are really finicky and have their issues. If you want a tank that's more rugged and you can throw around , you'll get the AEA . However Aea is newer but has a much better team that listens to your comments and will make changes. Remember they'll both kill any small animals both hit 4 in targets out past 100 yards all day long. Big but is you can only kill an animal once ! As far as AEA being thrown in the dump first , I don't know about that one. All the time you'll spend perfectecting the fx and how fx's are sooo touchy. You'll spend less time shooting it... they both have their ups and downs. Competition shooting the fx will do better. I'd I'd re address the same question a year from now though.

[@DirtyDovi]

7:07 My house [more like a funhouse] is most definitely crooked. To say the least. 😂 Nate-Dog, nice advise on leveling a scope/x-hair.. Here's a tip - And what I always do. Same deal.. Level gun, level scope, aim down range.. For the aiming-point / target... Use a string w/ slight weight, so it hangs tight/straight.. [You're pretty much just making a plumb-bob] Hang it up, wait til' it stops swinging and throw your vertical x-hair on it.. Gravity does the rest. It works like a charm every single time.

[@AirgunChannel]

Good call. That would be more accurate. I never thought of a string line "inside"...great idea! ...funhouse...funny!

I don't have ther gun anymore. Gen 2 LB version just arrived. The .25 will cost you less in ammo. You only need a .30 if your hunting. Not sure the DB. I would get a Fat Boy 2.0 or a Sumo for that gun.

[@quranhq786]

How many consistent shots of around 1000 fps you can shoot with a full tank?

[@darrelmyer935]

Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great kzbin.infoUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!

It's the same with any diabolo style pellet. Between 850 and 950 is optimal for accuracy. Too fast and they get unstable, too slow and trajectory suffers.
