This AEA Challenger Pro LB (long barrel) in .30 caliber is impressive. ..and I didn't even tune it properly. Let's face it: AEA is one of the best airgun manufactures in 2024. A far cry from when they started. They sent me a gun 6 years ago and the top pick rail was actually machined into the reciever crooked. You could clearly see it and it was hitting 3 feet to the right at 30 yards. Now they are making guns in the top 10% in my opinion. Great job AEA! This Gen 2 .30 cal is a great value for anyone looking for a dead on .30 that also won't break the bank. Thanks for watching! -Nate

Great review! The only things missing were trigger pull weight and Loudness. Looks like a shooter though!

Darn I filmed that part but I guess I forgot to put it in. It was 3.7 ounce trigger pull. ..and the gun is kind of LOUD, but not too bad. I was shooting it from inside and I didn't wear earplugs. Requires a Donny FL adapter to get an LDC on there. Not sure why they didn't just make the barrel end 1/2 UNF. ????? It's something else.

I had a bent barrel in 2023 Challenger. Replacement barrel was bent, too. I see your gun's barrel lays on the air cylinder, which perhaps indicates yours is bent, too. With the reg it will make tight groups, but move your target further away and find that it shoots to the side. Move target to 100 yards and check if your groups drift?

That sounds crazy to me. I don't think there is such a thing.
