Title: AEA Challenger Elite
Post by: SwampMowgli on February 04, 2024, 03:27:13 PM
This is my first experince with an AEA product so the only thing I have to compare it to is my Gen 1 Gauntlet and Raptor.
It's a really BIG/Heavy gun yet well balanced and easy to handle, no problem carrying it to and from the stand. Build quality seems pretty good and it has a really nice stock. Mine is the .35 and I have only shot 150-200 rounds through it but have had no issues so far. Currently the reg is set to @ 2300psi, wich is good enough for a 93gr NSA slug @ 1030fps and the 125 NSA @ 940fps, fill to 4000psi and get 10 shots on the reg.  Gun is hunting accurate out to 100 yrds (That's all I've tested), in other words if you do your part it will do it's part. The trigger............... it works,  I know it's supposed to be improved form the other versions but it has a lot more room for improvement.  Over all I am pleased so far with it, much better build quality than my Gaunlet but certanily not a Raptor.
