One of the hottest and most talked about guns in recent times, the Air Venturi Avenger is at the top of many wish lists and in high demand. No other gun on the market gives you this combination of versatility, quality, and affordability, which makes it the entry level rifle to beat.
First things first: the Avenger delivers on its promises. The gun goes toe to toe in accuracy against premium guns that cost 5 times as much. It could even be the most accurate airgun you'll own, and certainly at this price point.
What makes the Avenger so different is its adjustability. It has an externally adjustable regulator and an adjustable hammer spring. You can tune this rifle almost any way you want, from a lower power hand pump setup, to a high power compressor setup. There's never been a gun like it anywhere near this price level.
There are two gauges for your convenience, one for reg pressure on the right side and one for fill pressure on the left side. There's also a light and crisp 2 stage adjustable trigger, and the male quick disconnect fitting at the end of the air cylinder makes for easy fills.
The airgun with many setup options also has 2 holes for swivel studs and a Picatinny forearm rail for stock accessories like lasers, bipods, and lights. Also, your choice of optics mounts easily using the 11mm dovetail and Weaver combo scope rail.
Rounding out the features is a silky smooth sidelever that operates one of the two included auto indexing magazines, giving you more time shooting with less time reloading. If you're looking for an incredibly accurate PCP air rifle that can be set up however you want, the Air Venturi Avenger is your answer.

at 350 dollars might seem inexpensive but its still 350 dollars and you have to buy a pump a scuba tank or air compressor
Pros
Light Weight adjustable air pressure
Cons
leaks poor quality control. Received with no air pressure.
a great value; is very accurate, requires optics; the better the quality of the optic WILL result in amazing groupings
Pros
customizing options and versatility plus price equals a good investment and good times
Cons
I'm not real fond of the rails, some scope rings could not fasten snugly
1800 psi reg, 2800 psi fill, 2 turns in on hammer spring( a little stiff to turn) with jsb hades 15.89 is potent combo for pigeons and crows. it's on the loud side, well balanced, but ugly as a mud fence. the Chinese have really pulled one off with this cannon. i stick with 22 cal 'cause it's cheaper to shoot i'll try some slugs when i get used to this rascal. MONEY WELL SPENT.
Pros
trigger, reg adjustment, loading lever, external hammer spring access, air capacity all make this an absolute winner in my opinion.
Cons
nuttin
The receiver is made of zinc alloy and is very complicated. Although I am a "tinkerer", I probably won't mess with any internals. There are "bottle conversions" available but you would have to just about double the price of the gun. Maybe worth getting 100 shots at 50+FPE?
Pros
Accurate and powerful. I have mine set to 46 FPE for a reasonable shot count(50-55). With 34gr pellets it can go to 56FPE but only 25 shots. I have my reg set to 2200psi and only fill to 3500psi. Mine was finished well and had no significant flaws. It's pretty loud and I have an after market moderator on order. They also did a good job finishing the barrel lead as it loads smoothly. Mags appear to be Marauder mags, but I can't be sure
Cons
Mine only came with one mag. AGD said they would send one. The sear adjustment screw is not supposed to be adjusted and they installed it upside down. I'll have to fix that as the second stage is too long
I thank you for reading my review and I do own this 25 caliber and like I said earlier I would put it up against any other 25 caliber out there we all want more power but Im sure if I pump mine up all the way I'll get it and I wish they would test them with lead pellets instead of those lightest pellets out there nobodys gonna use them bsafe and shoot straight
Pros
I have nothing bad to say about my 25 caliber I havent had it pumped up fully yet but Ive been around 3200 psi but taking 8shots from 45 yards I was hitting the same spot around the size of a quarter and put a hole in the 1/8 inch of metal box I was shooting at I would put mine up against any other 25 caliber on the market it's my first pcp I do have a few gamo but they dont have the power like my avenger has plus they have a kick like my crossbow my pcp no kick back and back yard friendly its a all around great pcp to buy
Cons
I really dont have any but Im not a expert Im bow hunter these few bb pellets guns are the first ones that I have but I really like my gamo magnum & maximum both in 22 caliber but my Venturi Avenger 25 for the same price within a $100 bucks the difference between them are worth the cost difference
The 25 cal is the best
Pros
One of the best pneumatic rifles I have ever used, it works perfectly and unbelievably never leaks
Cons
Possibly a better magazine loading mechanism
This is a well put together gun for its price range. Anyone thinking of stepping up to the pcp world should look seriously about getting this gun. You won't be disappointed. I'm shooting the 177 cal and have had it only a week, 5 shot groups at 40 yards a dime easily covers and its getting better the more i shoot this amazing rifle. Thanks, Airgun Depot, i'm very happy with this puchase.
Pros
Very accurate. Love the trigger. Shooting an accurate gun is FINALLY fun to me and this gun is fun to shoot.
Cons
My being a left handed shooter the safety is a little awkward but other then that, nothing.
This is my first pcp and first .25 cal, I have a couple popular brand break barrels in .177 and .25. After owning a .25 I will not buy either of the other calibers again. This gun is approaching .22 rim fire power with 33.95 king heavies and has a very good shot count (35ish at factory 2900 psi) and with Donny fl tanto moderator it is extremely quiet. I only shoot at 40 yards because that is all I need for my area and there is just one tattered hole after shooting the 8 round mag. It is a critter hitter and unlike the .177 they do not go anywhere after being hit with this. I have a vortex crossfire 3x9 on it and it is perfect. People complain about the hollow stock, but it doesnt matter to me, it is not a collectors edition and seems strong(no flex or negative issues) and the gun is light for its size. I have about 500 pellets through it and I highly recommend this gun for beginners.
Pros
Extremely accurate
Cons
None
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
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Do you make it for left handed?
asked Christian from USANew to this. Any stores in FL. where I can get hands on info and setup on an eventual purchase? Definitely like the Venturi Avenger. Live in Tampa, willing to travel FL.
asked Chet from USAi have the 25 cal when i use my hand pump ii here air comming out of the frount of the gun where the fill conector is at
asked charles from USACan nitrogen and or co2 be used
asked Ralph from USAAnytime I attempt to adjust my regulator it leaks. Why? What do I do to fix it?
asked Jesse from USAI have owned three of the new Avenger baffle models and all had regulator creep. The regulator gauge would creep up 200 PSI in seven minutes and 600 to 800 PSI overnight. Has anyone experience regulator creep with their Avenger? Was it with the new baffle model or the non-baffle model?
asked Lawrence Berns from USAI have the avenger in a .22, and very please, very accurate, but it doesn’t have enough power to kill a squirrel! Any suggestions, does anybody know what I should do?
asked Otto L. from USAregulate psi to 2500
william from USAI have killed 5 squirrels and 1 rabbit with my avenger since september 4th (opening day) and it has never let me down. Always one shot one kill. If you have a chrono, and its going over 800fps with a 14.3gr crosman, you may just be hitting them in the wrong spots. They will run away with anything less then a heart shot
Owen from USAwhich is better .177, .22, .25 pellets i see .177 gives 1000fps
asked vernawn from USADon't be lured by higher FPS, Speed doesn't kill - accuracy kills and very often higher speed kills accuracy
Leslie from USA.25 is best for anything from squirrels to coyotes
Owen from USAThe multi pellet clip is hung up with pellets in it. It won't line up the pellet with the cocking lever so you cant load a pellet in the chamber
asked Steve from USAreturn clip for new one
william from USAWhat type of silencer should I use???
asked Leroy from USADonnyFl Sumo I think
Owen from USAwhat silencer would you recomend for this rifle
asked Jon from USADonnyFL Sumo
Owen from USAIs the end of the Barrel Tapped to fit a front sight. So that a Diopter type sight can be used???
asked Norton from USAsuggest a compatible scope
asked David from USAUTG 4x12x40
william from USAI HAVE HEARD THAT THIS GUN IS A BIT LOUD. Which moderator should I get for it? I do not want to spend more than 1\3 of the cost of the airgun (100$)
asked Terence from USAI've been using the moderators from. Wolfairguns.com. Much more affordable and just as quiet IMO.
Riccardo L. from USAI have been using products from DonnyFL. Nice products. I use them on pcp's from air venturi and benjamin, they allow you to go unnoticed while urban hunting....
Ian from USAWhat do u need to charge up the gun ?
asked Michael from USAAny type of high pressure air pump; bike style if you're not doing it a lot, Small electric ( I use a Benjamin), Air bottle if you have a large HP air Pump or local dive shop to fill it. All will do the job.
Richard from USAAir
Mike from USAHi folks..... I'm pleased with this rifle and it surpasses all expectations. How long can it safely hold 2-3K psi ? Must it be de-gassed after each use? Thanks!
asked Jack from USAActually leaving a pcp devoid of air can be detrimental and as for holding pressure, ,without a leak it will hold air until it is released , no problem.
Ian from USADo you think this gun in .25 can dispatch a hog?
asked Mark from USAWith a head shot
Owen from USAWith the right shot I'd say so but to do it humanely I would think you'd want at least .357 at minimum. Id check with your states D.N.R office to see what they recommended .
Mark from USAI saw a video of a guy killing a hog with a break barrel.22 / ear shot
Colin from USAHad question....can you use a air compressor to fill the gun?
asked Mark from USAno you need a high pressure compressor,one capable of putting out 4500 psi. i just bought the benjamine compressor,im going to use this with a 3000 watt inverter to make it mobile
Steve from USAWhat is the Muzzle energy ft/lbs? On the .25
asked Chris from USA45 ft/lbs
Mark from USAHey mark. What size air cylinder is on this gun? Thanks
asked Chris from USACylinder Size 180 cc
Mark from USACan I kill adult iguana with this gun that have invaded my yard, if so what caliber
asked Michael from USAWith good shot placement, .177, .22, or .25 cal can dispatch iguanas humanely. I own the .22cal and it is extremely accurate with reg set at 1200psi using JSB Hades at 860-895 fps.
William from USA22 cal will do. 25 cal for sure,
Mark from USAI'm trying to find out what the receiver is made out of (ie aluminum or polymer)? Are parts/ o-ring sets going to be available to be purchased for this rifle since it is made in china from the distributor (Air Venturi or this site) or are we going to have to get parts from the country of origin? Thanks for any info.
asked Randolph from USAThe receiver group is aluminum. Once the gun is in general production there will be parts,service,and technical help thru Air Venturi.
Mark from USAHope everyone is doing great. I preordered 7/1 and I’d like to know if I can expect a this rifle in the mail soon or not. Have a great day.
asked Steven from USAThe next batch of Avengers are due to be shipped in mid to late Sept.
Mark from USAWhat all needs to be purchased with gun to start shooting?
asked Billy from USAAn air source to fill the gun. 3000-4500 PSI.Ammo .and a scope and rings.
Mark from USA8/2/20 Hi have you guys got any of these guns in yet at all or is everything still on hold?
asked Chris from USAThe second shipment is on it's way.
Mark from USAwhat would be a good scope and rings for this airgun
asked John from USAA 3-9 x or 4-12 x will work fine. Look at the Athlon.Hawke,MTC.or UTG scopes.
Mark from USAWhat size is the air reservior?
asked John from USAhow many psi to charge it fully?
asked Rogerwill it accept an after market moderator like a donny fl ??
asked don hYes. Donny sells an adapter for his moderators that fits the Avenger.
William from USA
after 250+ rds thru it and 1 dry patch pulled thru i mounted a donnyfl fx moderator and the accuracy fell off( i thought the added weight gave bad bbl harmonics). but a lightly coated patch with penetrating oil was pushed thru the bore( stopping way short of the breach area to save pressure rings) and let it set a while. then the double patch pulled thru next had several slivers of lead on it. PROBLEM SOLVED! the donnyfl helped a lot on the noise level
Pros
exceptionally accurate, extremely tunable, definitely a 3 noise level, ugly as a mud fence, and powerful. use caution when using 18 gr or higher when the power is full on. the trigger has a very slight creep when lowering the trigger pull weight but still a good trigger. be prepared to fall in love with this rascal!!
