Air Venturi Avenge-X Classic Synthetic Reviews

Very nice build quality. Very accurate out da box.

Nothing I can think of at the moment.

I'm not one for writing reviews, but - This deserves a review. Wanting a inexpensive air rifle. One with a good "punch" for da critters out here in the fields and not worrying about beating it up like I do with my other rifles. I decided on the Avenge-X 25cal, and some Zan 30gr slugs. It's a chilly, sunny, windy day here in Michigan, but I wasn't gonna let that stop me from going out and see how this shoots. So, I Installed a scope and bore sighted. I had this kinda drawn out review, but there isn't enough room here. In a nut shell, I am impressed. This Avenge-X has a very nice build quality, Shoots very good outta da box and all I did was install a scope and adjusted the cheek riser. The trigger is very nice. It has a short travel in the first stage and broke cleanly with a light pull. Can't forget to mention how quiet it shoots. WOW, it's pretty quiet. I won't be adding a moderator. No need in my opinion. So, I'm looking forward to a calmer day to get this dialed right in.

Excellent Quality. Innovative design: you are actually getting five different guns with the offered modifications to the Avenge X chassis. Works out of the box--unlike some other "highly regarded" PCP rifles out there which leak air. Flexible adjustments to calibrate optimal combinations of hammer, fill pressure and regulator pressure for accuracy and shot count--but I found the factory settings fine for accuracy and number of shots per fill.

Not much.

Overall, nice design and production quality. You would have to go much further up the price scale for comparable features and performance.

This rifle is amazing! It is so accurate and easy to shoot. It is my new personal favorite grab gun. My next buy is a new caliber barrel. I have the .25 but I will make it a .22 too. This is so cool.

I can't think of a thing I would change.

I opened the box and started shooting it and have not had to adjust a thing. It just pounds tacks.

Accuracy, my .177 classic tube version shoots under 1MOA indoors. Adjustability, the externally adjustable regulator and hammer spring, as well as the trigger adjustments and adjustable cheek rest and buttpad. Dual gauges (even my Weihrauch doesn't have a regulator gauge). Trigger is great once you remove the safety washers on the sear engagement screw, the 2nd stage creep disappears and it is very crisp, though a little heavy for my taste with the tension screw backed all the way out. Barrel seems to be very good, mine loves Baraccuda Match 10.65 grain 4.50mm head size at about 850-875 fps. Shroud is quite effective, and I'd rate the noise level as a 2/5. I added a Weihrauch silencer and it is very quiet. I found accuracy is slightly better with the Weihrauch silencer compared to the Buck Rail silencer I tried. I like that it has standard threads. Picatinny rails. My Maple O-ring magazines for my Marauder work in this rifle. It comes with a high cap mag and a single shot tray.

On the example I received, the rear stock section did not sit flush with the action in front of the trigger, where the short stock screw is. I found this screw to be loose on mine, and when I tightened it, the stock flexed outwards at the edges, indicating a void in that area. I added a 2mm washer on the short stock screw in between the action and the stock, and it seems to have resolved the problem. The picatinny rail screws were also just barely snugged, I had to tighten them. The groups tightened up after I tightened all the stock screws. When using a bipod compared to a bag near the trigger, the POI is about 2 MIL higher. I read the Avenge-X is free of this issue, but mine definitely has it and I can see how it would be the case since the barrel and stock are both flexy and the pic rail attaches to the barrel band. Unlike Tyler Patner's claim, the barrel cannot be free floated to alleviate this issue by removing barrel band o rings. The barrel sags too much and contacts the band.

I ordered a solid barrel band from an auction site as well as a barrel harmonics/centering kit. I am hoping this resolves the POI shift issues. If not, I will upgrade to the Saber Tactical aluminum chassis, since it doesn't flex and the pic rail is not attached to the barrel like it is in the stock configuration. I like this rifle so much that I am willing to invest another $500 into it to get it perfect. I also plan on polishing the barrel as it seems to foul faster than my LW polygonal or Weihrauch barrels. My reg creeped by about 50psi at first but it settled in and works great now. The issues on my example may be a unique experience. I've shot about 1000 rounds through mine so far and enjoy it greatly. Once I solve the POI issues it will be one of my favorite rifles. I paired mine with a Primary Arms SLX scope, and yes, I did try 3 different scopes and 2 sets of rings to verify the POI shift issues was not in the optics. I believe this rifle cannot be beaten for this price range.

This is my first PCP and I'm enjoying it. The accuracy is way better then any break barrel I have or have had, the power is great and paired with a buckrail moderator, this .25 cal is backyard friendly! The loudest thing is the sound of the pellet making impact. Right now I have tuned it for 33g jsb and I can put the whole 13 round magazine in a 1 inch square at 55 yards. So far I have only put around 200 rounds through it and it really likes the 33g jsb and the h&n 30g hp slugs with my current tune, but having the reg set at 2800psi, I'm averaging around 30 shots before having to refill... but that is fine with me with the power I'm getting which is roughly 58fpe.

Nothing

Make sure you clean and lubricate the gun before shooting. Mine seemed kind of dry and the barrel was pretty dirty when I unboxed it.

Ohhh......Everything. The low- high pressure switch saves time and air when target practicing. Very adjustable trigger and matched with a UTG bug buster is extremely accurate.

Nothing I can think of.

Sure, it is a little heavy. So what. I have an original Avenger .25 and 2- Avenge X .25's. I don't buy 3 of the same gun for no good reason. These guns are tough, accurate, easy to load, a blast to shoot and considering all my other guns- Origins, Gauntlets, Jet-2 etc. give top bang for the buck. Anything can be micro-analyzed. Doesn't mean anyone knows a ton more than you. It just means some are hard to please and others enjoy b*tchin'. Me, I like to shoot.

Price of a X at refurbished Feeling when I ordered that I was getting better than new if the shop had it and now is selling it

Test and refurbish before sending to a customer

What was sent was leaking and o rings I saw were completely worn out Sent back and no issues with return

2.4 standard divinations and 38 foot pounds right out of the box!

Nothing important

Customer service has been an issue for me lately but It here shipped same day as ordered and beat free shipping date by one day ahead of time!

Absolutely everything It is my first pcp my fist Love an Aspen set up like and fix

More links to videos on how to stuff with a QR code in manual. A schematic too please in manual

. Everything every last one!

3 size t port settings with the current high as Middle

Love the classic stock with tube It feels like a firearm your dad had for hunting

I have the 25cal Classic Synthetic with tube. Just about everything. Fit, finish, power, tunability, accuracy, the modular design and accessories. The trigger setting out of the box is excellent. Hard to beat for the price!

Rear adjustable pad is a bit loose and can move easily. Add a position lock/retention screw.

I own PCP's of similar price range, Marauders, Gauntlet1 25cal, Avenger wood 22cal. All excellent. The avenge-x is the most adjustable and I tuned to about 52-54 fpe with a 54 shot count and reg 2400psi. Accuracy, quality, weight, etc.,is as good as the others I own with more energy. Excellent results with 25.4 and 31 grain domed pellets. I consistently hit 1- 1/2" targets at 75 yds from bench rest, with little wind 1" targets at 75yds. The stock feel and quality are excellent. The adjustable pad is a bit loose. This rifle is my favorite now. It is quiet but I still use a moderator. Shooting at 50 to 100 yards on high power and below 50yds low power setting. Eventually I will upgrade to the 400cc bottle. I really am enjoying this rifle. Primary use is targets. I have chased off a buck with a hind end shot at 130yds with about a 12" hold over and 25.4g pellet. PA went out of their way to change shipment address after already shipping!! Was my fault. Customer service is the best.

El rifle es excelente muy buena calidad

i love the feel and Shooting adjustability

Nothing

you wont regret buying it!

Like the fact that it can be easily tunes and parts are easily changed like barrel if you want to change calibers.

Nothing

Highly recommend this gun to anyone that Is looking for a cheap pcp air rifle that is fully upgradable.

With JSB Exact Monster pellets, this rifle is extremely accurate and consistent. Surprising number of shots without even fully filling the air tube.

Would be nice to be a little lighter but hardly an issue.

Es muy bueno preciso y liviano

Great accuracy, smooth lever and trigger action. This is surprisingly light.

I would prefer if it didn't leak. Maybe this is an issue with the 400cc bottle but this shouldn't be leaking after less than 50 shots.

i have a gaunlet and a gaunlet 2 and just purchased the avenge x. the avenge x is so much fun to shoot.i like the gaunlet the gaunlet 2 is very accurate with jbs 25.39 pellets BUT.. the avenge x is by far a better gun. hands down no comparison. It is a blast to shoot ! so much more you can do with this gun and it loves jbs 18gr.I would suggest this gun to anyone. by the way all 3 guns are .22

nothing so far

i would suggest you clean the barrel before shooting. I do that with all my air rifles

Everything! I have just recently received this rifle and it is wonderful! So freakin' accurate! It has more power than I need and for me, plenty of air capacity in the standard tube without having to switch to the larger one. It is great to have one gun that I can upgrade to a larger caliber if I want too and it is very inexpensive to do so! The change is very easy. I know because I originally orderd a .22 cal but it was still on backorder and Pyramyd Air got in some .177 cal rifles and I changed my order and bought that along with a .22 cal change kit. Got it earlier that way since those were in stock! I had the barrel changed out in no time flat and it works perfectly. Even though this is my first PCP rifle, I had no trouble figuring out how to set it up and there are plenty of YouTube videos even some by the gun desigers, that really help in understanding the different ammunition types, tunings, barrel change out, etc...

Add an integral moderator so I wouldn't have to buy one and it would be perfect. It is OK as is, but when wanting to shoot targets in my yard in the city, I prefer it to be quieter so I don't upset the neighbors!

It is very easy to add a moderator... just screw off the front cap and screw on your moderator. Done!

Loving it so far. I use H&N Barracuda lead free pellets in 0.177. There's a problem with my compressor, so I've been shooting it at 2000psi and below regulation while I wait for parts. Even so, it's laser accurate, and the trigger is nice and light. It's so easy to shoot it feels like cheating. The stock looks a little goofy, but it feels good to grip. I'm used to kids multi-pump pellet guns, by comparison this thing feels huge. That's a good thing, I can get a much better grip on it. I put a 3D printed moderator on it, and it's movie silencer quiet. I wanted something to plink with that's extremely accurate, and this is it.

At 500 bucks, I was expecting sturdiness like a real gun. This is more like a high quality airsoft gun in terms of build heftiness. Still totally sufficient for my usage, but just saying. The fit and finish is very good. The manual only has basic information in it; nothing about tuning or disassembly. The plastic stock is a little bit slippery, I would give it a more aggressive texture.
