AEA AEA Challenger Pro Power Upgrades

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I have one in 30 ... unfortunately I changed the spring a few times and now have no idea if the "high power" or regular spring is in there. I never really noticed much of a difference in power except the heavy spring seemed to waste air. So I think it's the regular spring I'm using now. I'm shooting 60 grain NSA .303 about 130 fpe @ 2900 psi reg. I've had the reg set higher but I think it performed better backing it off the limits just a little.

Still I generally pick up my Guantlet 30 instead of the C-Pro 30 when I want to shoot. I think it's mainly the ergonomics that I prefer. I may eventually trade the C-Pro 30 for something else, as these two guns are basically redundant in their capabilities, of course with an edge to the C-Pro for max power and range of tune.

You are getting some wicked power out of that 25. Anyway I'm subbed to your channel now for parts 2 & 3, and also have your Gamo Gen3i video saved for later as I've been thinking about picking up a repeating break barrel.

Thanks Silver. I enjoyed reading your post. I don't have a Guanlet, but I keep hearing good reviews on them.

I recently got an AEA Challenger Pro 30 cal in Long Barrel. I have a couple of videos coming soon on this rifle. I can tell you the 30 Cal long barrel shoots the AEA 50.5g pellets crazy accurate.

Thanks again for watching and being a fan of the channel.

Hi Mike,

I have the newest AEA Challenger Pro .357, I like what you did with those rails. Are you considering making them for sale for the .357?

Hi Tec,

I have those custom arca and picatinny rails on all my AEA rifles including the 357' Elite, Standard, and 357 long barrel. I do sell these and have sold several to fans of the channel. Please send me a email at [email protected].

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for info.. I have mine set at 265-170 BAR and hammer spring turned in maybe 1/8 of the way and getting 990/1000 FPS on those. Waiting on my scope to get out and do some 50 / 100 yard accuracy.

I have the newer Gen2 with the adjustable hammer.

Mike
