Ok here is my opinion about AEA airguns.
I own FX,Daystate, Edgun and brocock Airguns and others that cost less and I bought a AEA .30 semi auto carbine for poops and giggles and I can say that it is fun to shoot. It operates as advertised and is accurate out of the box. My .30 is set at 60 foot pounds and shoots all the different pellets great. I really don’t know how because if you look at the rifling in the barrel it is some kind of variant of FX smooth bore rifling you almost can’t see it and nobody talks about it on the forum. I get no flyers just good consistent groups. Now I took the semi auto mechanicals out and just run in bolt action mode and enjoy it just as much short,light,and accurate it is my truck gun all the way. Customer service from Ben is excellent and no problems if you need something. So I see no reason for someone on a budget not to buy a AEA product. Just my opinion others will

Just ordered an HP SS .22 from the pellet shop Today. Should be here Friday. I'm excited. I don't need a 1/2" 50 yard gun. I have those. I just want a fast fun plinker. If it runs like the one Justin was shooting here. I will be happy

Yeah they just seem to work, not a whole lot of info out there it seems. What drew me in was the modular platform. YouTube vids are great I was just looking for some real world users with experience with them.

Not really sure I would recommend the AEA for gun number one. I don’t know I guess it’s fine if your purpose with it is too shoot longer heavier projectiles than your average pellets commonly sold. These guns have massive power.

Yes it would be used for pest control and some hunting, my thoughts are the power would translate into cleaner kills on animals. Even for pest control I like to dispatch them as quickly as possible, currently use a 22lr for that but figured going the air rifle route would be cheaper in the long run, but I also want something that will last and not cost a couple grand.

There's a couple good FB groups that require nothing more than a simple AEA search if you're really looking for real world users...in real time.
I couldn't ask for much more out of mine, I love it in .30cal

I have a AEA assassin in .25 and its been great and accurate so far.
use it for shooting pests at night.
only complaint is that one of the springs in my mags broke after a couple of weeks of use. but that can easily be replaced.
I shoot Sub 1inch groups at about 70 yards
trigger is harsh at first but once you break it in its not too bad.

I love my Aea Hp ss .30.
Customer service was even better. When it arrived the stock was broken. Zach shipped a new one out same day. After playing with it some, I noticed one of my mags was jamming. Bin sent 2 brand new ones out to me.
It has been cycling flawlessly since then.
It’s definitely a great back pack gun with the folding stock.

I received my 30cal Aea carbine two weeks ago and haven’t shot any of my other guns since, it’s that much fun! With a tanto on it it’s extremely quiet, very backyard friendly. I bought it from Pete at Aea northeast, great guy to deal with. He is Bins partner and part of Aea USA service.

So I see that they have a 3 pound element on one of the websites that sell AEA it's a new model I may have to take the plunge and get that sucker. Now the decision of .22 or .25 lol

That element also comes in 30 cal. Would like to see a video of it in action, at three lbs it would be a great back gun!

Hate to be a Parrot, since it’s most of what I post. I absolutely love my Element. I’m lusting after something high end though. Every time I come close to buying, I just think welllll….. FOR MY PURPOSES I can’t justify $2,000+ for something my Element does as well or better.
