Air Venturi Avenger Wood Reviews

Hey everybody. I bought this gun about a month ago and I've been shooting it I watched a lot of videos on it. And in those videos they rave about the fact that how accurate this thing is well it is very accurate. I haven't come up with the combination of hammer spring and air valve but I'm going to work on that. At first I thought the gun was just way too late like a toy but it shoots very well. I put some FX 35 grain pellets in it the non-led ones man those things shoot straight. So if you're thinking about buying this gun go for it it's not expensive you can regulate the pressure if that's what you want to do for shooting targets but if you're out there hunting turn it all the way up those 35 grains hit hard. Hope you enjoy your new gun I have been.

I don't think there's much I would change about it I think that there should be bigger magazines though I've seen some of these guns have 18 and 19 round magazines and I think this one would be one of those.

I purchased a refurbished Avenger .22 Cal. wood stock air rifle from Pyramyd Air. The gun was in mint shape except the bolt carrier was sloped back not allowing my scope to zero as the vertical adjustment was max’d out (probably why the gun was returned). I removed and shimmed the back picatinny rail and successfully zeroed my scope. This gun lives up to all I’ve seen on Youtube. I've shot 5 shot 1" groups and less at 100 yards on a still day with Air Arms 18.1 gr. pellets 1.8K on the regulator with 2 turns in off minimum on the hammer spring (872 fps = 30.5 Ft/Lbs). The max I have pushed this gun is with the JSB 25.4 grainers 2.4K on the reg and one half turn off max hammer spring producing 36.7 Ft/Lbs muzzle energy. 1.2K on the reg 2 turns in on the hammer will push a Crosman 14.3 gr HP to 832 fps producing 22 Ft/Lbs and one quarter inch groups at 25 yards. Steve S at airgunnation.com has a very good video on tuning this particular gun and shows 3 good tunes.

The barrel on this Avenger seems to be chocked and I have yet to find a slug that performs well in this gun. I wish the barrel was not choked so I could shoot slugs out of it

This gun shot accurately right out of the box and it just keeps getting more accurate the more I shoot it. I have experienced minor regulator creep of 200 psi at the most, but it has not been a problem.

Pretty much everything. Great trigger out of the box. Easy to cock. Easy to tune. Very accurate. I like the wood stock, but my son just bought one with the polymer stock and it is better than I expected.

I will eventually think of something.

This PCP feels good and is fun to shoot.

Very accurate I've only shot it at 25 yards so far but I've gotten .25" groups with multiple pellets from 14 to 18 grain.

Nothing

Buy lots of magazines shot count is outstanding I like to fill 8-10 magazines while my compressor chugs away then I shoot and shoot and shoot some more.

more than I expected !!

nothing !!!

paticence...

The overall quality, ease of tuning, ease of use, side lever smoothness, power, accuracy, both tank and regulator pressure gages, overall value.

Nothing

Wrote a review about a month back and it never made it into the system for some reason? I stated I have several very good break barrels and pcp's all close to this Avenger price range. The avenger is definitely as good if not better than the others overall. It is just a lot of fun to use in all aspects. I am not promoting any given brand, I own two Marauders .177 and .22 cal, a .25 cal Gaunltet gen 1, and the .22 cal Avenger. They are all excellent. I enjoy shooting all of them. This Avenger wood stock ranks at the top along with my Gauntlet. I target shoot daily at 35-75 yards mostly with occasional pest control. I shoot for the pleasure of the sport and this Avenger gives me great pleasure each use. I have set regulator pressure at 2400 and get about 55 shots with 34-35 fpe with H&N Baracuda 18 and Diabolo Field 18 grain. This is the only adjustment I have made. I left everything else alone.

Nice trigger, nice stock, smooth working side lever action. Nice looking gun overall.

Scope base. The base is not good, i mounyed a scope and could not zero the rifle because there isn't enough upward adjustment. Same scope works fine on on other rifles. There is a $40 aftermarket rail you can buy, but after spending $430 on a rifle i shouldn't have to spend another $40 just to be able to sight it in. I do have another scope and rings coming in the mail, but i doubt it will resolve the issue unless the scope has more adjustment clicks in it. I haven't tries 11mm rings yet only the weaver style

I kind of like the gun it is built well, a little heavy, but not as bad as some. Just be aware that you may run out of elevation adjustment when sighting it in with the factory rail. Really wanted to love the rifle, but this is a serious issue.

Looks great, shoots well, feels nice .

It needs better Quality control, Scope mounts were very loose, and uneven. The Grub screw to hold the shroud in place was VERY loose, inside the shroud there is a device that keeps the barrel centered, it was missing an o ring. Where they drilled the holes under the stock, the regulator hole was not completely drilled through, The bleeder screw was but it was very rough and I spent a few minutes with a file. None of the above mentioned issues are a big deal but all together they could be.

Not really to do with the rifle, I called Pyramid Air with a technical question. I was told a tech would call me back in 24 to 48 hours. Hummm ! So I carried my phone with me everywhere NO CALL BACK!!!! So for me personally customer service on the TECH side is pitiful. I did reach out to Air Venturi they helped me no problem. Am I happy with the rifle overall? Yes I am. Would I buy from Pyramyd Air again is uncertain, Not because of their phone support staff they were right on, however again I must say if you have a technical question or issue, you may be all alone as I ABSOLUTELY WAS. Expert advice BAAH Humbug.

The .25 Cal Avenger does not disappoint. It is a quality air rifle and has excellent the feel and features. I compete in10 meter air file, service rifle, and long range palma, so it seems my standards for accuracy and performance are higher than most. When I bought this, I was looking for better than 1 MOA accuracy at 50 yards, and the ability to tune it via the regulator, and hammer spring to the pellet/bullet of my choice. It measures up in both of these areas. In fact, the rifle out of the box, shooting JSB Match .25 Cal, 25.39 Grain pellets, easily keyholes shots at 50 yards. And the factory tune was within 2 MOA at 100 yards. I think with some minor tuning, and pellet testing it will make 1 MOA ( 1 inch. ) or better. The trigger is nice out of the box, but I will adjust it a little lighter to be more like the Timney trigger that I run on my palma rifle. Thank you Air Venturi and Pyramyd Air for making a quality rifle like this at a super competitive price point.

A Please offer an upgrade stock that has an adjustable comb and butplate. Might as well but a handstop rail on it too. :) thank you

I got the 10 shot for 10 bucks on this and I recommend this. It is a good deal and this quality check will give you a piece of mind on the purchase.

Incredible instrument. The terms "gun" or "pellet rifle" do not convey how precision the Avenger is. It is adjustable through every aspect of tuning without "aftermarket" enhancements. The trigger is fully adjustable without disassembly, the stock cheek piece matches perfectly the Williams 11mm sight, and you could fit a perfectly adequate front sight with a $1.50 hose clamp on the round barrel shroud to test for height. This is like one of those rare things like a Bentley barn find for fifty dollars.

I shoot Silhouette matches with the Avenger (iron sights only) and a front sight would have been nice. I used the 11mm Williams sight for the rear and fabricated a front sight with lathe turned sleeve affixed with nylon set screws, topped with a Unertil base and Parker Hale, clamp type, globe sight.

The Ram targets are heavy, the rifle needs the highest power settings and the Mark II pellets perform the best at one hundred meters. If you don't know how to dope wind you had better learn.

Accuracy!! I rarely write online reviews but had to on this Air rifle. At first I was skeptical about the 5 star reviews and some online videos, but they are so true!! Most go hole per hole at 32 yds. using .22 JSB 18.13gr pellets set at the factory tune no adjustments. Fun! Fun!!Get one!!

Nothing yet so far..we will see later

Clean your barrel bore good first before sighting it in. It has extra oil inside it from rusting while they sit on the shelf ready for sale..

Accurate, no recoil, powerful. Went from springer magnum to pcp rifle like much better. Wood stock is awesome. So far only shot it at 30 yards. Goes in same hole darn near every time. Shooting jbs 18.3 reg set at 2300 2400 psi. 4000psi fill 60shots. Goes through 3/4 pine board at 30yrds getting 35 fpe

My rail scope mount uneven ruff textured. It wasn't machined right. Scope sat crooked. It is metal. They make and aftermarket one which I order sabre tactical waiting on it now to come in mail

I found out after a couple uses of Mags the pellets and the pin arent so ruff to get in. alube up on orings on the pin that pushes the pallet in chamber probably helps

This is a well balanced gun. Cocking lever is very smooth. Overall fit and finish is very nice. Super accurate, consistent 1/2 groups out to 70 yards. Magazine is easy to load and slides in easily. Easy to tune, you can tune it to get over a 100 consist shots. Its a great gun , but unbelievable at this price. I have several guns that cost 5x as much, but I find myself shooting this most often.

One thing is fill connect can be a little difficult to get your female connector on, but even that is not a big deal.

Gun is awesome, I would recommend tuning it down from the factory settings to increase shot count. I got about 40 shots on factory tune and over 100 accurate shots with a tune at about 1800-1900 psi. Factory tune is accurate right out of the box though, so if your not into tuning you can shot as is. Remember this is not an FX impact, but you will have an extra 2k in your pocket to buy all the pellets you will need.

Gun has great feel and shoots great. Cant go wrong for the money. Not priced much higher than entry level guns but is regulated and comes with 2 mags. Very accurate right out of the box. 35-40 shots before dropping below regulator pressure with regulator turned all the way up. I also have the composite stock avenger in 22 and love it too.

It would look a little nicer in my opinion if the stock was darker wood but that is personal preference.

Great gun. Cant go wrong.

Easy cooking effort Accuracy Weight is comfortable Wood Stock A+

Nothing..

Shot count will be less unless you fill to 4350psi. MAX. Getting 55 shots from 4000-2000psi 18 grain pellets@860 fps. Regulator 1800 psi Hammer spring 1.5 turns Your results may vary.

Awesome

Nothing so far, I've only shot about 600 rounds

Buy now before price goes up and sold out

Great Value and laser accurate. Spend the extra few bucks to have Pyramid test fire it. Worth the piece of mind and cheap insurance to not receive a defective product. No, its not perfect but it is well above par for sub 1000$ rifles. Great for a beginner or expert alike. The wood stock is a must in my opinion,

Make a new higher end model for 7-800$. If Air Venturi can do this on a rifle of this price Id really like to see what they could muster for an 800$ rifle. Im a believer.

Get extra mags, extra tins of pellets. This thing is awesome and in the right hands can embarass air rifles costing 4x more.

In my opinion the gun is an excellent value for the money. I have been shooting air guns for about 8 years now and wanted a regulated gun. Figured I would give the Avenger a try keeping my expectations realistic. This gun well exceeded those expectations, so much that it is the gun I reach for when headed to the range. I spent the $50 to have Pyramyd go thru the gun which I have done before and feel it is a good investment.

It would be nice if the gun had a front sling swivel stud to mount a bipod to. As it is you need to by a picatinney rail adapter or bipod designed to attach directly to a picatinney rail. I figured I could just mount a swivel stud to the stock until I pulled the action out of the stock and because of the design that isn't easily done.

I needed to get 25 moa shims for the rings and then add a couple of strips of electrical tape to get the point of impact where it needed to go as my scope did no have enough elevation at the speed that provided the best accuracy (1" to 3/4" at 50 yards). It would be nice if the scope rail was 20 MOA to allow for this. This was not a major issue and depending on your set up may not be an issue.

this rifle is great!The adjustability and accurracy is up there with guns twice its price.The people at pyramyd air are also very professional.had an issue with a gun last year and they gave me a full refund without hesitation.Great company and local to my ohio love um.

Nothing.Amazeing gun for the price!Wood stock is solid and beutiful.

Very accurate, well built, reliable. Super quiet.

Maybe iron sights. Not much to improve on.
