If you’ve seen some of my posts you will quickly realize I have spared no expense when it comes to airguns - I’m passionate about the sport or hobby. To date I have owned just about all of the highest quality highest performing PCP’s. Granted it took me a while to understand what I was really looking for and expecting from an airgun. I especially enjoy having some of AGN's amazing and gifted tuners put their magic twists on already great airguns.... wow!
I have owned the very best FX has including Crowns, Mavericks, Dreamlines and M3 impacts, the very best RAW has two HMX1000's and two TM 1000's, the very best DayState has including the electronic Alphawolf and Redwolf and their top tier Wolverine Sapphire and their Tsar, the very best Brococks like the Ghost and Commander XR, the very best American Arms has the EVOL, the very best Steyr has including a ProX10, the very best Anschutz has an 8002 in a precision stock, the very best Weihrauch has, the USFT MAC1, a Thomas bench rest gun, two different Edguns, and a few types of Airforce rigs, one FWB, a couple of BSA’s, a few Air Arms, AGT Uragan, a Taipan Vet, a Skout Epoch and I could go on but you get the point.
So after 2.5 years into this pneumatic adventure or obsession, I also discovered the world of Field Target and the specialized equipment that goes with it. The rabbit hole is deep my friends.
What I’m going to declare here may surprise some people, maybe not, but the Crossman HFT Challenger is a rock solid performer, especially as built by @Airgun-Revisions!
I might add that this particular PCP's price point comes in - even customized for my particular requests @ < $1298.00 or 1/3 rd to even 1/5th of many specialized Field Target platforms. Very accurate, very adjustable, very reliable, and it loves the Benjamin 10.5’s and even scoped with a big ol Sightron FT scope she still only tips the scales <10 lbs! Before you think I’ve lost my mind, which I have, there’s one niggle that keeps my 67 year old fingers from taking this gun everywhere, meaning to every FT match i will ever go to…… it lacks a flip out single shot loader, thus I drop as many pellets as I load.
Yet, in spite of this one draw back, IMO, this modest Crossman HFT Challenger gets my nod as the number ONE, PCP of the year. The amount of gun / performance you get at this price point is exceptional!
Well done Rich Dudek @Airgun-Revisions !
My current Challenger setup includes a Sightron S-Tac 4-20x50 FFP / IR scope with the MH4 reticle and a scope werks 6” eccentric mag parallax wheel held up by eaglevisions sidemount inf adj rings.
