Air Venturi Avenger

If you get one that shoots low - try to exchange it, or for the cheapest fix try the Hawke 25 MOA scope shims for $17, Hawke also has some adjustable scope rings (35 MOA) for around $35.. FX adjustable rings are good but twice the price of the Hawke ones..

Pros
I purchased one with a wood stock and it shot extremely low (barrel droop). I was unable to sight it in with the scope adjustments.. After countless battles with the seller (which I won't mention here).. I opted to sell it.. It did not sell on ebay so I decided to try and fix it.. I felt I only had a couple options - 1) shim the scope, 2) buy height adjustable scope rings.. Both options was to gain some MOA.. I opted to try some Hawke scope shims (25 MOA) for about $17.. That seems to have done the trick.. Better than paying $70 for FX adjustable rings.. I did reset my regulator to about 1950 psi and adjusted my hammer and it is now shooting about 31-32 fpe pushing 18 grain pellets from mid 880's to 890 fps and 15.89 JSB's to around 950 fps.. It seems to shoot just about everything quite accurately - even the Crosman 14 grain hollow point shoot quite well (and those puppies are up close to 1000 fps.. It does fair with a couple different slugs but I can't say that they shoot them well.

Cons
Some of these come through with barrel droop issues - you run out of adjustment with your scope.. If it were not for the fact that some come through with barrel droop I would rate it as a 5 but there are issues therefor it rates a 4.. They have good accuracy, good shot count, and good power, and good bang for your bucks.. If you get one without barrel droop then you will be happy..

I am extremely optimistic about this air gun. Expecting great things. Good advice from the sales rep; listen to him. Don't forget medium or high scope ring mounts, so you can use the magazine. The Hillman pump works a treat; draft your son in law for the first fill. Don't forget the quick disconnect adapter.

Pros
Initial accuracy assessment is positive. Good repetitive shots. Still walking in final scope adjustments, but very repetitive groups.

Cons
The Weaver/Picatinny rail sections do not have standard spacing; a scope removed from a standard full length rail will not clamp onto this one; it appears they did not maintain standard gap spacing when placing the fore and aft sections. The cross-screw for tightening one of the clamps will not sink into the groove as required. This means it will be a pain to swap scopes to other platforms. This is a very nit-picking review point for most of us, but you asked.

I'm convinced that they test guns tuned directly from the factory and not what the consumer receives when they order one. Now I got to wait and send it back and see if I can get one that works correctly.

Pros
Nothing yet.

Cons
Regulator pressure changes with each shot, hammer spring adjustment doesn't change anything and missing the cover for the reg adjuster.

Pros
These guns are amazing I am shooting the jsb 15.89 and the jsb 18.89 and it loves them both it likes the 18.89s better but it will still group the 15.89s. Would never go back to a gauntlet again.

Cons
Nothing

To start ..silica packets had opened in the bag. Little pellets were inside the gun . I pulled the barrel cap off an had to dump them out of it They were everywhere ..Rifle showed to my home 2 days earlier than I expected. Now to the " Keeper of the Yard" This is my first PCP, coming from break barrels. I haven't heard this rifle without the donnyfl suppressor. I installed it before filling my tank and this thing is whisper quiet and deadly accurate. 1 mag with new scope and I was within 4 inches repeatedly. After the second mag I can cover the 8 shot sting with a silver dollar @50 yds with 25.39 kings. Understand please I AM NOT a SHOOTER ! This is a new hobby but I've shot off and on my entire life but it's been 3 years since I've been to a range. This rifle is far better than any break barrel and did I say whisper quiet. This can be pumped with a hand pump but I am 220 lb. I do nearly lift feet the last 3 inches of stroke after 3500 lb. As of today I love everything about it

Pros
Twin gauges, easy and light trigger pull, regulated power gives ample shots.

Cons
As an owner of 6 hours, absolutely nothing.

Pros
Wow, I am quite impressed, This is my first pcp but I shot air rifle collegiately in the far past, This is not far from one of those rifles. Out of the box, and zeroed with in a few mins, first two shots were almost the exact same hole. That is what I was after, an accurate gun! For the price and what it comes with I am extremely happy. No it is not a competition air rifle but it is not far off. Also not familar with PCP, got a hand pump and that might be the first upgrade. Get ready to pump.

Cons
A little higher quality stock would be nice.

Came with some air in it so I mounted a Vortex 2x-7x scope and sighted it in. After pumping it up to 3000 psi I picked out 2 pellets. The H&N Crow Magnums I sighted it in with and the H&N Barracuda Hunters to see how it grouped. It slightly prefers the Crow Hunters. After about 30 sight in and break in shots I shot two 5 shot test groups at 25yds. The photo is the Crow Magnum pellets on top the Barracuda Hunter pellets below. These are a stock right outta the box rifle !! Need I say more ??

Pros
Would have preferred the wooden stock but I do really like the light weight of the synthetic.

Cons
The only thing I would change is a factory installed suppressor, it's kinda loud without one installed.

I bought mine for AirGun Depot. I have several "high-dollar" air guns and none to them blow this Avenger away. It is a sweet shooter. In fact, It shot a 33.95 gr pellet just a little faster than my .25 Daystate Wolverine HP (high power) R.

Pros
Light weight, very accurate.

Cons
Nothing I can think of

I take the top rail issue as minor but can be major if expensive scope falls off unexpectedly.

Pros
Very accurate out of the box. Two gauges, for storage and operating. Adjustments for trigger, and operating pressure. 4300psi max fill gives lots of shots.

Cons
Screws holding top rail were too short, were held by only one or two threads and came off when scope was being mounted, ( easy fix replacing with longer screws but annoying). Purchased shroud adapter and "modifier" and got near silent operation.
