Air Venturi Avenger

This gun is amazing hits in the same spot every single time. I can get about 70 shots and I am using knockout 25.39 grain slugs .216 cal. Loves the knockouts haven’t tried other slugs (Only using slugs) but the knockouts are shooting really consistent and accurate and are very affordable. I can reach out easy to 100 yards. I am using a falsco scope form Amazon that was 50 dollars. And I am reaching 100 yards def could reach further just haven’t tried going further yet. Everything is high quality on this gun wouldn’t change anything. Really light and easy to control

Pros
Very consistent, extremely accurate, a lot of shots

Cons
None

Unfortunately my first avenger arrived with a faulty regulator. A big thanks to Airgun Depot for promptly replacing it with a new gun. This gun shoots flawlessly. After years of shooting break barrel rifles, I decided to give PCP air rifles a try. I chose the 22 caliber avenger. This gun really surprised me. It shoots way beyond its price range, None of my break barrel rifles come close to the accuracy this gun has. At 1800 pounds on the regulator ,I am shooting jsb jumbo heavy 18.13 grain pellets at 865 fps and consistently getting 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards. Pretty impressive setup for the price.

Pros
incredibly accurate . The avenger is very easy to tune.

Cons
none so far

Overall, it's a great air rifle and I would absolutely recommend it, as I have the . 25 cal. I put the the foam crack sealer like what you put in windows to fix the hollow in the stock. Really nice power.

Pros
Accurate, easy to adjust to personal settings, not to heavy. I love the side lever.

Cons
Slight drop when sighting in scope at first (easy enough fix). Stock is not quality, stock is hollow plastic.

This is my first pcp air rifle coming from a break barrel and let me say it's night and day different.. if you on the fence I would say go for it you won't regret it

Pros
Light weight, a tack driver, tunable for different pellet types, the side lever is butter smooth..I also love the trigger pull for me it's great..

Cons
Nothing

Nothing

Pros
Nice

Cons
Dangerous

Pros
Awesome air rifle. Very accurate and not pellet picky. In .22 cal it's capable of much better than the advertised muzzle energy. With JSB monster redesign 25.39 gr I'm getting around 43FPE

Cons
Magazines could be better

If you're on the fence, buy this thing. It will impress. And buy a nice scope.

Pros
Inexpensive, Accurate, and Adjustable. How can you go wrong? Was very impressed with accuracy out to 50 yards. Dime size group and I'm sure a better shooter could do better. Only 300 rounds all cheap Sig pellets, happy with purchase. Delivery was FAST.

Cons
Would be nice not to have to empty air to decrease regulator. As well as this gun shoots, I would pay more for a better trigger. I know many reviews compliment and this is my first "real" air gun, but shooting my friends Crown makes this trigger regrettable. I've tried adjusting, but a lot of creep and still stiff. It would be nice if you didn't need an adaptor to install a moderator as well. If we're wishing:-)

---> Buy extra magazines, you'll need 6 more for a 80- shot fill. And high scope rings. My gun likes Crosman 14 grain HPs and JSB Hades 16 grain the best. Light pellets, 9s or 10s, go supersonic, but the Predator GTO 12s do quite well out to 50 yards. No function problems after 17 tins of various pellets. Shoots up to 22 grain reasonably well, haven't tried slugs yet.

Pros
It goes without saying that this rifle offers functions unheard of at this price point. I could hardly imagine a better "first" PCP, as its accuracy is fine and my .22 cal has been quite reliably hitting ground squirrels, hard, out to 100 yards or so. The regulator performance boost is amazing: using an FX radar chrony while targeting, I found I got 80 good shots at 50 yards, out of a 300 bar fill. EIGHTY SHOTS! That's with factory tuning. What's not to like? I put a DonnyFL adapter and Sumo moderator on mine, which does boost the cost nearly double, but the softer bark is worth it.

Cons
An adjustable cheekpiece would be nice, it isn't the most natural cheek-weld even with a high scope mount. But that's a quibble for the price.

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.
