Description

The Air Arms HFT 500 hits a home run for the rapidly rising interest in the hunter class of field target competition.

While all the nice features in this air gun will make your mouth water, there's really only one thing that matters: Precision. And that's where all Air Arms guns excel!

If you can aim and hold the gun steady, you'll get small groups. The HFT 500 does the rest.

Sometimes, you really do get what you pay for, and the Air Arms HFT 500 air rifle is a prime example. It delivers the goods...and then some. Never wonder, again, if you'll hit your target or quarry. You do your part and the gun does its part. Yes, it's just that simple!

Guns made by Air Arms have earned an international reputation as being among some of the finest in the world. They're unmatched when it comes to metal finishing and superb stocks. Because the HFT 500 PCP air rifle is so adjustable, it'll fit you like a custom rifle. Once you buy an Air Arms airgun, you'll be spoiled and never again be satisfied with the run-of-the-mill airguns you used to buy.

Got it yesterday and took it to the range today. Several other shooters admired its good looks. I was able to achieve 0.15” groups at 30 yards right from the start with H&N 10.65 pellets. Now, understand, I shot it from 175 to 145 BAR, getting 35 shots, so I was in the Goldilocks Zone of bottle pressures. In this zone, the velocity only varies 10 FPS. Want the best out of this rifle? Stay in this zone.

Nothing

Much has been said, in other reviews, about the trigger. For myself, I think it is one of the best out-of-the-box triggers I have ever owned. Over the past 20 years, I have owned almost 25 Airguns.
I turned it around to the flat side, angled it slightly outward, and found that I could completely concentrate on the target as I slowly pressed it. Amazing what a good trigger can do for improving your group size. This will be used for HFT, and I believe I now have a rifle which is truly competitive.

I have taken the HFT to the outdoor range five times now in the past 60 days. I’m sticking with the H&N 10.65 gr pellets and they are very accurate. I’m getting 30-40 shots in the “Goldilocks” pressure range mentioned above. MVs are in the 695 fps range, std deviation of 4.4. Super consistent. I added a hamster and bought a heavy shooting glove to set me up to shoot UK-style competition [I’m competing with myself]. If you need a 75-yard gun, this is not the one for you, but from 10 to 45 yards, this will be an excellent addition to anyone’s air rifle collection.

This rifle looks as if it were custom made. It is an absolute work of art. The laminated stock and all the metal work is flawless.

This gun is craftsman mastery. There is nothing to change.

Know you are getting a piece of rock solid extremely accurate airgun.

Crazy accurate rifle, SO easy to shoot! Also 100% worth the money this gun will hit whatever you are aiming at. My gun is loving R-10 match pellets. Don't let anyone tell you you can't hunt with this rifle it is a precision field target rifle and is capable of hitting meat as well as metal! Just dont mess up its beauty in the field!

Not a thing!

A lot of money, but totally worth it because it doubles as a hunting gun and field target! Gun sais 8 lbs but it feels very balanced and i personally don't mind carrying all day! Thing about buying an airgun is you will always want the next best thing, if you buy this you skip all the leg wrk and money of buying less accurate cheaper guns and will be happy gaurunteed!

Great looking Air gun. Shoots well out of the box. Could be a winner in WFTF or "UK"/Euro type hunter class if you want to travel.

Offer an American Hunter class version at.20ft. pds. This UK Hunter 12ft. pds. version would require lot`s of travel from America.

Not an American Hunter class good choice without power mods. HFT is a 'UK' sport. This gun was designed for their rules...

William, as long as the accuracy is reasonably good, the reason why you want 20 fp rather 12 fp has to do with holdover and wind sensitivities. 20 fp allows you to use pellets with much better ballistic coefficient, which happen to be heavier. The better BC translates into less sensitivity to cross-wind, and the higher power requires less holdover, a definite advantage with heavier pellets.

Also your gonna get maybe a third or less of the shot count as well! That is a really good way to look at it though. I've been looking at different rifles to get and modify for hft. I've never done it before and I love to shoot so... This rifle wouldnt really need anything. Except maybe a thigh rest. Anyway thanks for your incite.

William Aug 03, 2016

Charles, you need to rethink your critique. Your 12 ft lbs gun is going to be more accurate than a similar 20 ft lbs gun. Numbers at 50 yards using 8.44 grain pellets: The 12 ft lbs gun will strike the target with 6 ft lbs in .23 seconds; the 20 ft lbs gun will strike the target with 12 ft lbs in .176 seconds. If you dispute my statement that the accuracy will be less in the 20 ft lbs gun, consider this: 10 M guns typically have muzzle velocities of less than 600 fps and are usually very expensive and dead nuts accurate. The designers of those guns are well aware that speed kills accuracy. Your 12 ft lbs gun will strike the 50 yard target at just under 600 fps. The 20 ft lbs gun will strike it at about 800 fps. It probably takes about 1 ft lb or less to knock down the field target. In essence, you would give up the beautifully engineered stock on the HFT 500 to hit the target 12 times greater than necessary and do it in .05 less seconds. Airgun Spymaster.

This AA 12# pcp has Supremme accuracy (bench rested!) out to 63 yards in zero wind conditions; fitted with a sub $400 Hawke sidewinder Target Dot scope , this is my most consistently accurate Airgun; Very adjustable and Ergonomic laminated stock; MATCH Grade trigger and Barrel Without any doubt!!!!

Include a couple of finger tip pads for the trigger "button" to allow more palpability and feel .... I fabricated one to cover the button to "my" liking since it improved subjective feel for the trigger;

Stability may be gained by adding weight to the forestock...I did so with a nonretracted tripod; with little to no wind nickel sized groups are reproducible (mine likes H&N FTT 4.51mm) at 60 yards;
worth every $$$$ paid!
