Great neck rd north mashpee, ma 02649
Took the gen 2 challenger lb 357 out @ 75 yards. I turned it down to 880fps. I tried aea 81 grain pellets (I have a hundreds of them i wanted to try and use ?) I wasn't having much luck so i turned it back up and then tried some aea 110 grain Diablo then zan 125 grain. I was all over the place. I went back to what I always shoot, zan 90 grain and was able to finally put a decent group together. Unfortunately 75 yards is all the room I got. I have been dying to stretch out past 100 yards to see how it goes. This is the best 8 shot group of the day. 4x4 inch Splatter target

Was looking at the CH 1 LB. From what I can tell it is the best rifle AEA has ever put together and less than 1000 bucks.

Sits pretty high on my short list

It definitely is a great rifle for the money. I'm not an expert marksman only been shooting a few years. Knowing what I know now, I may have done something different. When gen 2 came out I wanted the external adjustments and ordered it. I do have the 1st gen as well, but after getting the 2nd one, I modified the 1st gen. I painted it with some camo spray paint and shortened the barrel to 21", had it re threaded. I wish I didn't buy the 2nd gen in the same length and caliber was my mistake. I would definitely sell one of them, I don't regret the purchase I regret the same purchase without thinking about what I was doing. I would say overall they are pretty darn good for the money.
