I have had 2 challenger pros and both leaked shortly after owning them, plenty of the others were just crapshoots, to me that is unreliable. Yours must be a good one..

I know the Hatsan hate runs deep everywhere, but if you're on a budget the Hercules Bully is something I'd consider at the right price...like used or refurbed & <$500.
It's super durable and easy to work on. So if you don't mind wrenching on a gun, it's a good place to try it out and the consequences are less severe compared to a higher end gun. That's an attribute of the brand that get's over looked.
It's a rough gun but can take a beating so it can handle being dropped & bounced about.

You can find a used FX Maverick/Impact for a good deal here in the classifieds, I wouldnt waste any money on the three options listed.

I have the Gen 2 aea challenger pro lb in. 357 and I'm really liking it. Right now I have the reg set to 3375 and is shooting the NSA 79gr sized in .356 at 921-925 really accurate.

I have a gauntlet also. $479 for the gun right now I think and with another $500 it will put out over 150 FPE. The challenger pro lb in 30 will shoot 80gr slugs over 1000 fps. Dead accurate.

Such as? FX rifles can produce laser accurate 120fpe for many many years and many thousands of rounds. And thats just in 30Cal. I think the only other mass produced pcp that can say they are a better power option is AF or AGT.
Im not a betting kind of fella but in this case I would be willing to lose 500 Internet Points if you can prove your AEA is more accurate. Do you think there is any AEA that can defeat an FX in a match? If you just want the most fpe, sure AEA has really put all their chips in that basket. But many of us have learned through experience and dollars spent that fpe is not the only thing that matters.

The gentlemen was looking to put down coyote not just a paper puncher, I will pick power plus acracy. Reason why? you're not all ways going to get that perfect shot so do you take the shot with a 120fpe? and at 130-180 yards it's not going to be effective, with a 150gr and 300 fpe I don't need to be laser accurate, 3 shots at 100 yards, not bad for a $600 pcp hunter 150gr and I know FX have never made a pcp that can handle 214 gr, I also own AF .308 965 fps with 150gr and 0 MOA at 100 yards

Dude I hunt and the aea challenger pro lb 30 cal can shoot 185 FPE laser accurate and that just in 30 cal. I don't care about a match. If that's what you do cool get your money. If not your just paying for a name. Dude said he wants a heavy slug gun. FX no bueno. Watch the reviews on air gun channel, air gun detectives, and backyard air guns. Air gun channel sky hole in hole the entire video. Air gun detectives hit bullseye the first shot and printed a half inch group. Mike from B.A.G. was shooting 50gr pellets at 1100 fps with crazy accuracy. Man with fx your talking about an extra $1400 for a gun that can't produce the power of the challenger pro lb or any of the big aea guns and has only a smidgen of better accuracy. People are asking about hunting and heavy slugs and being able to still have good accuracy and your response is get an fx impact m3. Stop it!!!!

Like I mentioned above you can get a used FX for the same or less than an AEA. I dont shoot matches either, but I brought that up since you will never ever ever see any AEA on the podium. Please post a video of your accuracy results, I dont think you will be anywhere close to an FX. I dont mind being wrong but so far its just your opinion vs mine, and I have experience with both brands.
I would never insist anyone needs to buy an FX over xyz, you can get a proven AF for less than an AEA. Those rifles have been taking down big game for decades and even the AEA cant keep up with their fpe numbers. And I will not stop posting my opinion, I wouldnt say that to you. IF you cant handle a differing opinion like an adult this might not be the forum for you.
