AEA AEA SF series rifle, what are your thoughts and experience?

I no longer shoot the HPSS anymore. It started having trgger problems with lead pieces getting into the trigger causing an accidental discharge. I always control where the barrel is pointed so it safely hit my backstop but scared the $hit out of me. I put it in the safe and may someday tear it down again and check it out. I would never sell it though. I am very disappointed though because I really enjoyed shooting it. I still shoot myAEA Challengers though and enjoy them. I haven't had an issue with the HPSF.

Bringing an old posting back to life. How's the AEA SF holding up? I'm looking to picking up a compact version.

Does anyone use slugs in cal.22 compact?

I have been shooting slugs for a couple years. Think I prefer pellets for accuracy. They cycle ok and you may want to try them. I have shot NSA, FX, Zans and H&N's. The FX shoot the best and are the most expensive. My go to were NSA. For the price a hard slug to beat

Interested how that happened. I have tried to recreate an AD and have not been able to do it. Did it go off when you chambered a round? Go off when you had a round chambered and took safety off? Or just went off sitting on its rest. Trying to understand what is failing.
