Really depends on what you’re doing. It’s a positive for accuracy off a rest but bad for packing if you stalk hunt.

Well I can only assume that anyone walking around hunting with a .50 cal would be smart enough to put a sling on it, lol

Im a little confused? The AEA Challenger is pretty beefy, 235g Slug at about ~950-1050fps @~540Ft-Lbs.

Do you have one doing good groups at 100yds plus? Anything slug under 350g will not have a proper design to travel right in .50cal. 50yds and under, buy what you want. You want 150yds and still drop a black bear. Texan 800fpe and 6lbs. Plus, show me a high power AEA that does not break in a year or less and i will be highly surprised.

Im not claiming the AEA is better than a Texan, but I dont agree with your assumption they wont be useful past 50yds. I also would never hunt a bear @150yds with any air powered rifle.

If yours can do it confidently. Kick-ass. Ive been there done that, I will pass on AEA reliability. Accuracy is what matters in the end, but if it doesnt work when you want it to,butkis.

I cant speak for the Texan but the Hatsan has terrible customer service and their QC department is even worse. You'll spend more time repairing an AEA than shooting it. I personally have an Umarex Hammer and love it. Ive heard that the Texan has accuracy issues but my problem with them is that they are terrible looking.

My hammer does a pnenominal job. It’s lightweight and powerful. And can be bought reasonably used on here.

I dont have anything larger than a .25, but of those listed, I think I would go with the Texan. Mainly based on how great a gun my Talon P has been.
Yes Airforce guns are ugly, but mine shoots exceptionally well and the ugly part was was easy to deal with.
