Page 4 - Air Venturi Avenger Bullpup Reviews

I like the shortness with the bullpup style. Easy to manage and quite light for a pcp. The regulator seems to really make the shots consistent. It shoots really well in 25 cal.

The trigger needs a longer screw to take all of the travel out. I seem to have a little trouble seeing through the scope at some angles even with high rings.

I think for the money getting a regulated gun is a real plus. Quality is really good for the money.

came with 1000 psi in tank, made some weird wheezing and clunking noises the first few pumps, then i remembered to cock the gun , after that it filled smoothly with 200 pumps on my g9. reg was set at 2400 from factory, after 1 mag it fell to 2050 . i think the extreme cold was to blame , after 5 mags i went back inside and the reg went back to 2400. went back out the next day,not as cold. after 1 mag reg was 2000 still had 2800 in the tank. 3more mags reg at 1900, tank 2400. 3 mags later reg was 1700 ,tank 1800. 130 shots! bullvenger rocks !

need way to put iron sights on

you will need high scope rings. mags are fragile and seem to have first round fliers. GREAT GUN!

I like the Bullpup model. I pre-ordered it and was anxious to get it. Pyramid sent mine asap. It works well so far, only been a week.

Nothing yet.

It is a little loud for backyard.

I bought the .25 cal bulpup. I'm a left-handed shooter and I was worried about being able to shoot this rifle. NO PROBLEM! I had to install some tall scope mounts but no big deal. It performs just like the long Avenger but I think it's quieter. I'm shooting it just as it came out of the box, 48 shots on the regulator. Having the storage for the magazines in the stock is very convenient, makes for quick reloads. It likes the JSB 25.39s, H&N Crow Magnums and H&N Barracuda Hunter Extremes. I'm an old guy and It's putting pellets through the same hole at 25 yards. Great rifle.

Nothing

It's OK for left-handed shooters

Out of box, I managed less than half an inch groupings at 15 yards (small place). It is a decent looking gun. Not loud, 85-90 db. No leaks over 45 hours just sitting there.

Side lever cocking be better on the left side and scope rail be lower.

My first experience with PCP. It was not difficult to pump it to full pressure.

Regulator, 4,350 psi reservoir, two magazine stow away in the stock, excellent trigger pull straight out of the box, well balanced, rests nicely on my shoulder, most accurate and consistent PCP I have owned. Also, they upgraded the plastic stock that many complained about, on the rifle and it feels nice. Bye Bye hollow plastic. Additional things you should know. This bullpup Avenger Is, at the time of this review, more accurate than my Avenger rifle AND the rifle is very accurate. Neither rifle experiences random flyers. My Avenger rifle regulator has been set at 2100 psi since I bought it and I think I turned the hammer spring in, one turn. It is shooting 25gr. JSB King Diabolos at an average of 820fps. This Avenger bullpup with the same reg setting is shooting an average of 889, 25 shot string, with STD Dev of 17.4, off of a rest at 20yards hole in hole. I have not touched the hammer spring adjustment. Another improvement is the forward rail. Very solid. Just buy it!!!!

The picatinny rail looks like an afterthought to me, but it is metal and rock solid. I mounted my Athlon Argos BTR 6-24X50 first focal plane scope with a set of high mounts and my eye lands comfortably on the center. I'm going to try a lower mount height once I buy them, because I'm getting a one inch lower impact point when going from 20 yards to 10 yards. I want to see if getting the scope closer to the barrel will make that difference smaller AND see if the bullpup is still comfortable to shoot. The other two bullpups I ordered and returned, required me to do some optical gymnastics to get my eye where it need to be to shoot. I may find the lower rings will put me back in that condition. FYI: I didn't return the bullpups because of that issue. On the flip side of that thought, I will probably start carrying the pup, using the rail as a handle. Trust me, it is hard to find anything to complain about. The baffle at the end of the barrel. Thanks for trying, still not backyard friendly.

I purchased the Avenger rifle in mid 2020 and have really enjoyed that rifle. I have been looking for an affordable bullpup because I love the way they look and carry. I ordered this Avenger bullpup within thirty minutes of seeing that Air Venturi was releasing one. I normally like to shoot an air rifle for a few months before reviewing but this bullpup should have the same quality, or better, than my Avenger rifle. If anything goes wrong on this bullpup I will add it to this review. Some odd things I did find: 1) The regulator arrived set at 2100psi. I thought they were all shipped at 2900psi. 2) The trigger pull on this bullpup was super low. I don't have a way to measure it but the first time I pulled the trigger I jumped after it fired... Compared to the rifle it feels like there is no resistance. The rule of thumb is that a bullpup trigger will be a little wonky because of the added linkage required to get the job done. I added a DFL Ronin moderator and that quieted the bark down.

Balances over the pistol grip, it has storage for 2 magazines built into the stock. The adjustable regulator is a game changer in this price airgun. It is very accurate with heavier JSB pellets. The trigger is light, kind of spongy, but it is predictable. It is much shorter than the rifle avenger.

Move the side lever forward to over the pistol grip.

The rifle fills to 4351 psi, but has a small reservoir, hand pumping is possible, but a small compressor will make your life much easier. You can set the regulator to a lower pressure band get the same performance as the factory settings, but you will get more shots per fill. It can be shot left handed, the side lever will just touch your chin.

Synthetic stock is better quality and feel.

Too soon to say but do feel the scope rail is a bit high.

So far shooting very well, as good as my wood stock avenger but getting good sight picture is different on this bull pup. I have a feeling I will adjust. Anyone expecting lightweight will be disappointed. This one feels like my wood stock in weight.

Size. My Avenger is so long, especially with my Sumo on the end!. .... Tomorrow is my Birthday, maybe I will buy myself something!
