Thanks Ricardo! :-)

[@Bemx2k]

Beautiful and Lethal air rifle

[@backyardairguns]

It's a Beast. I have the same rifle in 457 Cal coming this week. I will do power and accuracy video on that in the coming weeks!

[@Bigbopperairguns]

Thanks for the review on the challenger elite, This gun is amazing! You can open the back of the gun and slide in three to four AEA approved washers in front of the hammer spring, increasing your foot pounds of energy by 60 FPE.

[@backyardairguns]

I learn a new trick every day. 😊 I will give that a try. Where do j find out what the AEA approved washer size is?

Do you recommend a barrel clamp

[@backyardairguns]

I do. I make high-end barrel clamp for the 357 Elite that I use. My online store is backyardairguns.com/.

[@willierivera642]

@@backyardairguns. which barrel clamp you recommend for the Elite.50 cal. Thanks

[@jerryburns22]

Nice shooting excellent video I love your in-depth analysis always tells me everything I want to know about a gun accuracy FPS foot pounds shots per fill!!!😊😊😊 I wish they made the 30 elite!!

[@jerryburns22]

Excellent video as always can you put the regular longstock on this elite???

[@backyardairguns]

I don't think that's possible.

[@ozell46]

Love it keep it coming good viedo.

[@backyardairguns]

Thanks Ozell

[@williamh6547]

For me ive always liked the NSA slugs, the back to back quality of this ammo is in my opinion the best slugs out 👍👍good video

[@backyardairguns]

Thanks William. I agree; ZAN slugs are awesome.

[@kentripp3170]

How many shots per fill with reg at 190 bar with the 110 grain slugs?

[@backyardairguns]

Look at my response to your last question. I would shoot 10 shots and then top off the tank. The video footage of the 110g NSA was when the rifle was tethered.

[@Bigbopperairguns]

You do an amazing job holding that bullseye. Are you competing in any events?

[@backyardairguns]

I finished tie for 6th place at NAC Sportsman 100-yard class this year. I will compete in Pyramyd Cup and EBR later this year. :-) I've sent you a couple of emails with no response. Can you email me when you get a chance at [e-mail]? I have something for your AEA rifles I want to send you!

[@vicentepires8537]

I'm not sure whether to buy the Commander NV400 4-52X50 4K or Zulus HD 5-20x Digital DAY/NIGHT VISION, I wanted your opinion

[@backyardairguns]

Vicente, To be transparent, I have no knowledge on the Arken Zulus HD 5-20x scope. I did look up the spec on that scope and it does not compete with the NV400 on specs. Zulus is HD and NV400 is true 4K and records at 120 fps Zulus is 20X zoom and NV400 is 52X NV400 has both 1st AND 2nd focal plane NV400 has built in Ballistic Calculator built into scope NV400 will output the scope image to HDMI I could list many other features on the NV400; I have at least 5 videos out (and more coming) on this scope. One more big thing... OneLeaf has a huge Father's Day sale from now until June 23rd. The OneLeaf NV 400 was $549 and is now $424 with free shipping. Below is my affiliate link for this scope. If you do decide to buy this scope, it would help the channel if you use the link below. Thanks, Mike oneleaf.ai/commander-nv400-4-52x50-4k-digital-day-night-vision-riflescope.html#u112

[@barryfenwick609]

hi can you by the AEA challenger elite over the counter with no licence in the us? great vid

[@backyardairguns]

You do not need a license.

[@barryfenwick609]

@@backyardairguns thanks great video

[@barryfenwick609]

thank you great video

[@thomasstocks702]

Where did you pick up the extended fore end? Great video. I picked up this rifle a couple of weeks ago.

[@backyardairguns]

Thanks, Thomas. I mill, make, and sell the extended front rails out 6061 aluminum for the Elite and Challenger Pros. The one for the Elite is $135. Email me at [e-mail] if interested.

[@vicentepires8537]

Hi, what ballistic coefficient did you use?

[@backyardairguns]

I asked Benjamin the same question on these pellets and they said the BC is .277. That seems really high to me, but they do shoot very well and nothing penetrates more than the Benjamin Ballistic Tip 145g pellet/slug.

[@vicentepires8537]

Good evening, I would like to know if it is necessary to dry the bottle when moving the regulator pressure

[@backyardairguns]

For the Elite the manual does not say to empty the air before decreasing the reg. I have decreased and increased the reg without emptying the tank many times with no issue.

[@vicentepires8537]

my question was incomplete, I want to know the ballistic coefficient that you used for the NSA 110 grain ?

[@backyardairguns]

I can not set the BC for any ammunition. The BC is mostly set by the bullet shape, weight, and speed. The BC measures how effectively the bullet slips through the air. The NSA website shows that the BC for NSA 110g Slugs is .130.

[@vicentepires8537]

Hello, I intend to buy this pcp, but I need your help in informing me of the real diameter of the nsa 110 grain slug. This measurement with a micrometer would be important because a friend will manufacture the press

[@backyardairguns]

It's a great rifle and crazy powerful. The NSA 110g slugs are 9.11 MM.

[@cabezamiami]

Great channel and review. Suscribed and olease keep it honest.....90% of the airgun channels are not

[@backyardairguns]

Thanks Patricio. Got to keep it Real! :-)

[@calisav223]

That gun likes the heavier slugs 150 grain 140 all the way to 170

[@backyardairguns]

Thanks for the info.. It is a Beast of a rifle!

[@donwilson350]

You know for that going to be regulated you ought to have been at least getting over 300 ft lb of energy out of that gun

[@backyardairguns]

I don't agree with your statement on 300+ fpe out of the Challenger Elite. The AEA users manual for the 357 cal states up to 250 fpe. I was getting 270+ with the reg set at 190 to 200 bar. For me, this was the sweet spot for the rifle to shoot accurately at 100 yard and still punch through 16 ga plate steel at 50 yards. Maybe I could max out the reg and get 300 fpe, but that was not my intent. Thanks for watching!

[@donwilson350]

Well what i ment by that was if you're going to big game hunt You need foot-pounds. I've got a Benjamin bulldog i got modified? I get three hundred and twenty five foot pounds out of it with a 180 grain Bullet I think it will do the job i was thinking for a Regulated gun you should get more

[@backyardairguns]

I agree that any rifle doing 300+ fpe will take down most Big game. I've seen the Benjamin Bulldog in videos and they look crazy powerful. Good luck on your hunts.

[@jerryburns22]

This is not a pellet gun😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@backyardairguns]

It was my play on words. 😁

[@jerryburns22]

@backyardairguns it's true that gun is a beast!!!
