Page 2 - Air Venturi Avenger Bullpup Reviews

bullpup style

lefty can't shot the bullpup (action at the face )

I still haven't received my refund and I had to pay return shipping $60

Its accurate and has a ton of power.

Exactly 1 year after I purchased this gun, it started to leak air. Warranty is only for 1 year so guess what....

Love this gun, plenty of shots per fill at optimal power.

Iron sights would be nice but my scope makes it a dope sniper rifle.

Not loud, very happy about that. Not even considering a suppressor at this time.

Purchased a refurb at an awesome price and did the 10 for $10 deal and so far there are no leaks and shooting quarter size groupings at 50 yards.

The company should have installed a rear brace on the Picatinny rail.

I wanted to purchased an Air Venturi Avenger refurb .22 when they first came out from P/A but I took too long to order and it was sold (snooze U loose), so I purchased the .25 new for $300. So when I saw this Bullpup in the refurb bin I snatched it up along with the 10 for $10 deal just so I wouldn't get a leaker, because I did the 10 for $10 on my .25 and it's been leak proof and dead on for years. Theres nothing perfect in life besides my Savior Jesus Christ but with the 10 for $10 deal it's pretty dam close, and like I said above so far there are no leaks and the riffle is dead on at 50 yards with tennis ball groupings at 100 yards. I just want to add a little NOTE to my review by saying IF YOUR BUYING FROM ANYONE ELSE THAN PYRAMYD AIR YOUR WAIST YOUR TIME AND MONEY......

Small, light, and easy to maneuver. Holy $&!@ this thing is great, and the power it delivers is exactly what I was hoping for.

Would have loved iron sights.

Thought it would be louder so Im pleasantly surprised. The power is definitely there and certainly backyard friendly.

Great gun for the money.

Regulator kept creeping on me once gun was filled over 3000psi

Had my regulator creep 300psi within an hour. Had my reg set to 2900 and once gun was pumped to 3000psi or above my regulator would start to creep. Had to return the gun. Got a replacement and same issue. Pyramid air took care of it. Great customer service. Might give it a go later on.

This gun has changed the game. It is THE BEST pcp bang for buck rifle on the market. Crazy accurate, super smooth, light weight...Lots and lots of power, which can be tuned down to give even more accuracy and shot count. It's insane what this gun offers........regulated power, tunability that's super easy, smooth shooting, multiple mags with holders, and a lot more. I kind of kick myself sometimes when I think about I bought a gamo magnum for nearly the same price as this..... like what was I thinking. lol. No more arm-aches from 50lbs of cocking force, no more unstable accuracy from heavy recoil, a lot less weight so that i can shoot off the bench, way better accuracy, way more power (if I want it)....just everything so much better, it makes me feel stupid for owning a break barrel. And for those who say you don't wanna have to worry about air on a hunt, you can turn the reg down and get 115 shots per fill and have as much power in the "Eco" mode as any magnum has on its best day.

Nothing much other than maybe an extra factory barrel band. That seems to be the most common thing people buy right out the gate. I know keeping cost down is what makes this gun so special, but I wouldn't think a band would change that much, but i'm not a manufacturer, lol.

What's also extremely special about this gun is that it's not "pellet picky". No need to worry about if it will like your pellets.......it will, lol. What's so special about that is you can save so much money and headaches, and get added convenience. You want the cheap crossman domes at your local walmart?..... well she'll shoot them like they're JSB hades, lol. This gun is something special. Don't think twice on this one, it's a no brainer. This gun can compete with any pcp out there and save a ton of money in the process. After owning this masterpiece, I'll never buy another break barrel again, and on top of that, I'm not sure any pcp below $1,000 if even worth my time, lol.

This is about the .25 version. Short length, high power. One hole accuracy at 10 meters inside. Fits me well. Number of full power shots per charge is around 50 in .25 as supplied. Magazines are pretty easy to load, comes with two. Would suggest getting another, stock has two storage slots, so one in the ready slot, two for later. Haven't played with the regulator adjustment yet, another thing I like. Also has an air bleed screw when it needs working on. Not needed yet. Hammer spring is also adjustable, so plenty to mess with for those that like tweaking. Get a chronograph first. Has a standard male QC fitting for filling under the tank end cap, no special filler probe or fitting needed, just a standard female QC. Hill pump hooks right up.

LOUD, out of the box. Moderator adapter bought and will be used. Current stock version does have a short baffle stack screwed into the barrel shroud, nothing fancy and not that effective. Trigger out of the box is meh, doesn't keep it from shooting well. Will be adjusted/modified in the near future. With it scoped, cases are hard to find, width on most tops out at 12", with the scope, mine is 13+. Trying the Benjamin soft case. Rest on the forend, not barrel shroud or air tank, causes fliers.

Have viewed a number of videos on this gun in use in the field, results are impressive in .25. There are some aftermarket magazines that can hold up to 29 pellets for those doing varmint hunting. There are a number of other suppliers of components and accessories as well out there to customize. Do do the 10 shots for $10, cheap insurance against having to do a return. Mine came with a sheet showing 1000+ fps with a 25 gr pellet, very impressive at this price range. You WILL need a firearms-rated backstop with one of these. Other than finding a carry case, have had no issues so far. Go with JSB King Heavy pellets, those seem to be the choice of the video hunters, shoot well for me. Have a Hill hand pump right now, takes a LOT of pumps to get it in to shooting range from empty. But can be done, with proper form and rest stops. Have a compressor coming in the next week or so, so won't be such an effort to shoot going on. Excellant balance of features and price.

The AVA bullpup is absolutely the best regulated PCP for the money. The build quality, easy adjustability and accuracy is simply amazing and the ability for me to easily tune the gun is awesome. My current tune for my backyard 25 meter range is, regulator set at 1900 psi and 2.25 turns in on the hammer spring and I get a consistent 880 fps with 25 fpe with H&N Field Target Trophy 14.66 grain pellets. I'm also getting 60 shots before falling off the regulator going from 4350 psi down to 2000 psi. I'm certain I could get another 25 or more shots after falling off the regulator. I highly recommend Buck-Rail for a $24.00 suppressor and $20.00 for the barrel band.

If possible I'd ask Air Venturi to add a wood stock version and move the side lever closer to the middle of the gun, these modifications would make the gun perfect but I'm sure it would add a significant cost to a moderately priced airgun.

I only buy my PCP airguns from Pyramyd Air, superior products at good prices and fast professional service! Buy the AVA bullpup, you won't find a better regulated bullpup under $400.00! I'm currently shooting a .22 bullpup and plan to add the .22 rifle later this year when the weather warms up.

Adjustable Makes .177 16.2gr jsb beasts mushroom larger than an unfired .22 hades

I don't really like anything about it, its bulky, it is heavy, and it doesn't fit well in a gun case. It is impossible to shoot this gun accurately without some kind of stand or supporting it on a sandbag etc. etc. etc.

If the weight and the bulkiness could be changed, thats what I would change

I cannot comment about the accuracy because the scope was not placed correctly on the gun. The first time I shot it it was shooting 6 inches high and 4 inches to the left. I paid to have the scope mounted and sighted and at this time I believe it was a waste of money. I only paid $20 but it was still a waste of money. I am really disappointed in this purchase

Lever action is smooth and makes the bolt action rifles obsolete. Very accurate with consistent velocity around 910 fps due to being regulated . It has advantages over the more expensive Walther in price, noise level of 93 db as compared to 105 db for Walther. It has the quick connection for fill instead of the external fill probe.

This is an excellent design. I can think of no additions.

Works well with combination of bipod , green laser, and 3 x lighted retinal scope

Everything.... I was amazed at the pure accuracy of my 1st Bullpup. Exceptionally Quiet and an incredible shot count especially at sea level. The trigger is excellent.

Probably nothing. Once you get use to shooting a Bullpup you'll love it.

Been a Hunter got for 58 yrs.... I am amazed dollar for Dollar this is absolutely worth having.

I love the over all size of this bullpup. I have 3 PCP's and I will tell you that this Air Venturi Bullpup is now my number 2 go to gun only behind the FX Impact M3. But when it comes to walk and stock it is my #1 rifle, because of its size, weight & accuracy.

I would lower the scope rail or put a better cheek piece, and maybe a 1/2" shorter pistole grip. But still a great gun.

Order from Pyramyd Air because you will get it fast and undamaged , unlike other places that I have ordered from.

I like what this gun offers for the price. It does not do everything perfectly, but it does do everything decently. This gun is very tunable and I tuned it for a pro tune. The trigger is ok, but I'm going to adjust it a little more to my liking. It has an adjustable but and cheek pad, Two magazine holders, and a Picatinny mount of the fore stock.

I few things I would change is the forend of the stock is a little bendy and creaky, so it's not the most stable when using a bipod. The check paid is a little wobble because it uses a spring-loaded mechanism to keep it locked into place. It would be better if they just used a screw to keep the cheek pad in place so did not wabble. I wish the scope rail was more reinforced.

Once you add a scope this air gun starts to become top-heavy, this is due to the bullpup design. If you do not want to go through the vigorous process of tuning the gun as it did I would just pay the money for the company to tune it for you. There are a few other nit-picks I have about this gun, but they're mainly the ways they keep the price down.

Everything

More air capacity.

Don't waist your money on a 2000.00 air rifle. This one will do it all and is a 1/4 the price.

I couldn't be happier. I received it today (7/11/22), threw a Mantis 3-9x40 scope on it, gassed it up, and began siting it in. I had it hitting the bullseye at 15 yards, before I emptied the first mag! I'm getting 1/2" groups, with 14.3 Premier, .22 pellets at the factory settings on the trigger, regulator, and hammer spring. That's with the pistol grip resting on the bench and me holding the forearm! I've no doubt, that with a proper rest, better pellets, and some tuning adjustments, this gun could shoot one hole groups! And the power at the factory 2600psig regulator setting, is dusting my concrete retaining wall behind the target! Way more powerful than my magnum springers. All in all a very impressive gun, especially for $400!

The only things I would change is to put a storage spot for the single shot tray and 2.5mm Allen wrench somewhere on the stock. And switch the gauges around, so that you don't have to lay the gun on the lever to fill.

This is my first bullpup pcp. It takes some getting used to to hold, especially on a bench, but very accurate.

It hits hard and very good up to 100 yards. With a good scope the rifle does wonder. Get a heavy pellet. I ended up getting the .25 for use of hunting small to medium games with a clean kill. At 50 yards you get dime to nice size groups. It is really amazing. You also get 2 magazine with the gun and they can be placed under the stock.

It's a bit loud for me so I ended up putting a buck rail and it quiet it down a bit.

For the price and quality and the good customer service you can't go wrong. I had a problem with my magazine and both customer service and the specialist helped my out. To resolve the auto indexing since I was new to the Maurader magazine. My advice is check out the You tube video on the Magazine loads. Have fun shoot safe

Everything about it; compact and holds 2 magazine plus 1 in to shoot. It's so light weight to carry and hunt with. Each shot is also regulated.

I would say the only thing I would change is Abita load, but it let's you add an adopter for moderator. I put a buck rail and the noise level went down.

At first I had a problem with the magazine and had to learn how to load and index it. I emailed customer service during the night and they said call us in the morning.They were very helpful she put me in contact with Greg the specialist whom explained it to me. He also said the rifle take the Benjamin Marauder magazine and to watch the video on YouTube and it worked. Thanks for the great customer service.
