Crosman Gun of the year award

[djna]

I agree Airgun Revisions HFT Challenger is a great gun. I got one from Rich a year ago, the gun is awesome. I purchased mine for 20-30yard pesting ( Chipmunks). With plans in the future to try HFT. I wanted a .177 pesting rifle that was a laser - so to have little or no collateral damage on shed and fence, this rifle definitely doesn’t miss its target !

Mine love the AA 10.3gr and the new Benjamin 10.5 gr pellets - - gun is quite and gets good shot count.

I ordered a Challenger stock from Airgun Revisions after reading this thread. I got the stock for my much loved Marauder yesterday. I also ordered a few tins of the Benjamin Match pellets at the same time. I Gotta say, the stock works much better for shooting from a bum bag WFTF position. Here's the first 2 10 shot groups from the magazine at 25 yards at 12 FPE. With some better optics, I think this rig will do real well. It has been a great performer in its original stock at 18.5 FPE in Hunter class Field Target.

What did that Stock set you back?

Hello @cavedweller

I must agree with you 100%. I purchased one and shot it right out of the box other than a good barrel cleaning. I have posted here on the forum many paper targets that I shot a perfect score with this simple but extremely accurate rifle. The only reason I sold it was because of the single load of those tiny little bitty .177 pellets .

This SSL solves my dilemma!

What optics are you planning on?

Well, I recently got the Athlon Heras 15-60x56 that I put on my Daystate Mk4 to shoot at the Arizona State Championship. I feel like it does a very nice job ranging, even at its lowest setting of 15x. But I am watching for the Sightron SVI to hit the market.

I really like this thread, I’ve been wanting this gun for awhile and I think it would make a good first field target rig.

Absolutely agree - ask Rich to do his prep work - worth every penny

How about a pic of the ss loader out of the breech?

Are the new Challengers basically on the Mrod platform? Meaning the airtube and such? These look great

The Challenger only shares the trigger pack less the blade. It’s on the Marauder sized platform but all parts are not the same and have a CH prefix in the part#.

I would love to see some targets or 50 yard groups .
