Page 2 - Air Venturi Avenge-X Classic Synthetic Reviews

I purchased the Avenge-x in .25 cal and I think the gun is amazing. I sighted it in at 30 yards and it center punches the bullseye time after time. I usually shoot JSB 25.39 grain pellets but it also shoots JSB Hades 26.54 grain, and Air Arms 25.4 very well I haven't tried my FX pellets yet but I'm sure they'll do great. I shot it at 50 yards yesterday and after some scope adjusting I was able to shoot 5 shot groups about the size of a quarter. My regulator came from PA set at about 2400 psi, I haven't changed that but I did back the hammer spring off a couple of turns to shoot 25 grain pellets around 885 fps, they seem to do very well at that speed. I topped my rifle with an Element Optics 6-24 x 50 Helix scope which makes shooting very pleasant. The shot count is as advertised with about 60 shots per fill the way I have my gun tuned. Over all I am very happy with my setup and look forward to nicer weather so I can do more shooting.

I would like to see the hammer spring adjusting screw a little easier to access. It can be difficult to get a hex head wrench to line up with the adjusting screw, especially in low light. It's a small thing but would make tuning easier.

I was on the fence for a long time trying to decide if I wanted to buy the Avenge-x and I'm really glad that I did. If you're looking for a good quality air gun and a not to big price this is a good one to purchase. You won't regret it.

Air venturn Avenger-x is great rifle. What else is there to say. PS..Pyramid AIR----IS GRATE TO DO BISNUSS WITH.

Nothing. (((But there are plenty of acc for this rifle.)))

Yes buy one you will Love it.

Pretty much everything so far. For the cost....great rifle.

I wound up getting the dreaded reg creep after adjusting my reg for the first time trying to shoot the 25.39gr JSB monsters. Prior to adjusting it , it was "mint". Just messaged pyramid today to see what we can do to fix it. But as long as you take a "warning shot or warm up shot" it's def plenty accurate. Hopefully pyramid air gets me all fixed up!

The "gripping" areas on the classic stock are kinda smooth. This may affect your grip in wet or cold environments. I'm prob gonna just put on some paint on bed liner in these areas after the warranty runs out, lol.

Synthetic Stock, accurate, light weight, powerful, large mag, large shot count and the trigger is really good.

Nothing

I emptied the air and turned the reg 1/4 turn, turned 3x on hammer spring. the reg set on 2000 and it sends a 19 gr. slug (i make my own slugs) at 910 fps. the rifle is fairly quiet, but with a good mod all you can hear is the valve being hit by the hammer. At 35 yds, 1 hole groups with slugs and crosman premier 14.3 gr. there is about 200 fps difference between the high and low setting on the transfer port on the same pellet.

Extremely accurate in .177 out of the box nothing touched. Mine was the synthetic stock, but it's a big leap from the old avenger. Add a moderator and at 1040 fps it is very quiet. Also being able to upgrade the stock in the future if I choose to is great. Would have loved the bottle version but I fill off a 74cf Air Venturi tank. With that said in .177 you get lots of usable shots. I have not counted but it's over 4 high cap magazines.

Nothing at this price point. There isn't much to it.

If you are on the fence about purchasing one of these then just do it, what you get for the price is great.

Gun has power, accurate, easy to tune. Like the fact it comes with a regular mag and the extra big mag. Shoots a varierty of pellets and slugs. Just need to adjust your scope when shooting different pellets/slugs . So far 4 squirrels, and a crow and all were laid out instantly between 40-50 yrds. Only had gun for two (2) weeks. Just as accurate as my FX Impact/Crown out to 65 yrds. I brought mine in the 25 cal and order the 177/22 barrel kits.

Nothing so far

It's a little heavier than the original avenger, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Also, I can use my FX silencers on the avenger-X and it really quitens the gun down. Fits perfectly. Save myself a few bucks on that deal for a silencer.

I’m new to pcp rifle experience and so far being new to the game i feel I made the right decision with the Aveng-X. The gun has operated smoothly and as far as the accuracy like any other gun i’ve shot in my life depends on ammo and the shooter. I’ve use pellets and slugs in the 25 grain range and accuracy is very good. I can’t wait to shoot it some more to play with the tuning built into this gun. I purchased this gun because of price point and features of the rifle, it will perform my pest control nicely.

Nothing so far.

Regulator and hammer spring adjustments are awesome. The weight and extra large magazine are big plus.And the versatility of having different style rifles is amazing

Extra barrel band with picatinney rail towards the and of barrel for light or lazer

Be careful with slugs in the 22 cal.I had one stick.When I pulled it out I calibrated it.Measured 214.So I only use 216 slugs.The new jsb 33 gr.are to long for the magazine but shoot great using the single tray and max power

I am new to the pcp game. It is very accurate with the cheapest pellets you can buy at Walmart. Gun is pretty quiet. For as heavy as the gun is, it’s on the thin side. Gun is top heavy because of mounting scope high enough to clear the clip. All of this said, I absolutely love the gun! Getting lots of remarks and questions about it every time I take it to the range! So far, it is definitely a keeper!

Widen the forearm a bit. Forearm could use some grip ability added.

If you want one, call asap because there is a waiting list. I had to wait 2 months for this one! Also, it’s so new there is not a lot of info on it on YouTube yet.

I also own the original Avenger model. I purchased this synthetic Avenge-x model because of the modularity aspect. Overall, I like the new model, it is accurate and a good value.

I have had a few issues that it might be useful to talk about. For years, I have used Burris scope rings on various rifles with picatinny rails. However, I wasn't able to use them with the picatinny rails on this new rifle they wouldn't fit. Usually, I remove the ring mounting bolts and the rings slide on to the the pic rails, not so on these rails. I had to purchase a set of Vortex rings that would open wider and clamp on over the rails. I also was unable to clamp my bipod on to the forend picatinny rail. I had to purchase a small UTG 1/2" picatinny riser and install that over the forend riser. I could then clamp my bipod to the riser. Also, I found the threaded muzzle cover extremely difficult to remove. I had to wrap the cover and the end of the shroud in electrical tape and use a pair of vicegrips and a pair of channel lock pliars to get it off.

These guns are worth the money.

Unboxed my new rifle and charged it up to 4K psi then mounted my Vortex Sonora 4 x 12- 40 mm scope. Found this rifle highly accurate and very quiet. I was impressed with how smooth the cocking lever was to use. The trigger adjustment from the factory is good. Rifle has great power and it only took three shots to zero in scope. Rifle shot H&N 18 grain domed pellets giving groupings that I was really amazed at. I also loved how nice the stock felt. Very comfortable. The safety was conveniently located and easy to use on the right side above trigger assembly. The pressure gauge was easily visible on the side of the rifle so it didn't need to be turned upside down to see how much pressure was left in the reservoir. I was able to shoot 100 rounds with starting pressure at 4K psi. The rifle didn't need any adjustments out of the box and was not too heavy. I believe it would make a great field use rifle. Sling attachments are included. Air Venturi really did their homework on this rifle.

Get rid of the 16 round magazine and just give owners (2) ten round magazines. The 16 round magazine interferes with scope mounts. I could not adjust my scope to get it to work. The magazine design is the same as many other brand rifles but it is not easy to load. The included instructions do not accurately instruct user how to load the 1st pellet which is the key to making it work properly IMHO. I used my Beeman Commander magazines which also load much easier and have a pellet countdown on the side of magazine. Air Venturi should change to another magazine design like the Beeman. I also found several You Tube videos showing design flaws on the included mags. After viewing several videos I was able to better understand the proper pellet loading procedure. That was the only bad thing I had to say about this rifle.

Its a really great rifle. Congrats Air Venturi. Your competition will be trying to reach the high bar you now have set. Great Job!

I liked the fact that my Avenge X came with a little air in the gun to seat the seals and valve. I went over it the best I could and did not find any loose screws. The rifle was doubled boxed but the outer box had damage. I had no leaks or no malfunctions of the rifle.

Nothing!

If all the Avenge X are like my order the customers will be amazed. I only filled 4000psi and cleaned the barrel. and mounted an Athlon Talas 4x16x44 scope with medium rings. You will have to position the scope to accept the larger magazine or use adjustable mounts or tall mounts if the larger mag won't fit. I was shooting the Crosman 14.3 Doms over the Crony 995,996,993,988 and 991hitting the same hole at thirty yards. Extreme spread 8, deviation 3. I'm not going to make any adjustments until the gun settles in. Donny Sumo keeps the neighbors happy. More later!

This rifle is QUIET right out of the box with no adjustments or modifications. I don’t even have my scope zeroed and was able to hit my targets with no issues once I adjusted my aim. This is a solid, nicely balanced rifle as of my first 20 shots.

It’s a bit on the heavy side, but its balance makes up for it. (59 year old, out of shape, female with back and shoulder damage). I use a trigger stick tripod when I shoot, so it’s not a big problem.

I have to say this gun was worth the wait from pre-order in June. It’s September 9. Updates will be forthcoming if necessary, but right now I’m amazed. Can’t wait to go farm ratting with this lovely.
