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.

Things I liked:

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!

Things I would have changed:

Not a thing!

What others should know:

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!

Things I liked:

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.

Things I would have changed:

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

What others should know:

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

By Domingo from USA on 2017-10-26

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.

By Patrick from USA on 2017-03-06

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.

By William from USA on 2016-08-03

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.

Jay from USA asked:
Can the power level of the HFT 500 be adjusted to a level consistent with 10M competetion. I think that would be around 500 fps. Prairieplnkr
Johnny from USA asked:
How hard is it to load pellets into the breach? I have large hands and am concerned about single shot loading.
- Rafael from USA answered:
  Not hard at all, the breech also has a sort of a inward angle towards the the main pellet channel, allowing the pellet to roll inside ( in case you are not able to drop the pellet there)
John from USA asked:
would the hft 500 compete with the ftp900 in field target shoot? Or does it more depend on the shooter and your setup.
- Gerard from USA answered:
  Unfortunately the FTP900 has been discontinued, the fact the HFT500 is un regulated is possibly my only hang up on buying this rifle
- Tyler Patner from USA answered:
  It's a bit of both. The HFT500 can be competitive but the FTP is going to offer ergonomic advantages as well as a few mechanical ones. The FTP is regulated, the HFT is not. That's not to say that you won't get consistent results out of the HFT. From shooting them both, if you wanted the best gun you can get from the Air Arms line for FT, the FTP is going to be the best of them.
