Page 2 - Air Venturi Avenger Wood Reviews

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.

I would buy this rifle again. Great for hunting rifle.

Stronger O-rings,

It's worth every penny!

Fit, finish and function are very nice. Action works smoothly and trigger is real nice. Extremely accurate, at least to 50 yards. Haven't gone further as of yet. Very tunable and good shot count. All tuning is done without having to take the rifle apart. I am getting about 40 good shots using a 2900 psi fill for those using a regulated bottle, one turn in and 1800psi on reg. Total good hunting shot to 50 yards is about 70 to 75. This may or mayn't change as a tweak the tune a bit.

First lack of parts to the consumer. As of now it almost impossible to get parts unless its a warranty situation. Its a bit loud so a "real" moderator would be a great help. Its a bit longer than I would have liked but not a deal breaker.

Would I buy the rifle again. Yes in a heart beat. It's a great rifle. Honestly I fought buying one but once I did I am very happy. I am hoping parts become available soon, No rifle lasts forever without parts.

Accuracy and tune-ability

Trigger is very good, I have noted a slight creep.

Rather than simple end cap on the barrel shroud, mine came with a cap that included baffels and a tube that fits over the barrel; similar to the Donnyfl adapter. I have not seen any reference to this type of end cap.

A great value, accurate, powerful and easy-to-use.

I bought the plastic stock model. Almost immediately I regretted saving a few dollars. I bought a wood stock and it looks great now.

The Avenger is regulated. The shots are always a consistent speed. Never buy an unregulated air rifle.

I purchased the wood stock Air Venturi Avenger, I purchased a pump from Velvor. Just pumped it up yesterday and shot it for the first time. Started sighting in scope at 25 yds. I can cover 5 shots with end of index finger. The rifle has no recoil and I purchased a moderator off of eBay and the rifle is real quiet. This is the moderator, Custom Monocore Vented Baffle for Air Venturi Avenger & Umarex Origin Air Rifles. I am going to have to contact the seller because I had to do a modification to get it to fit but it worked well. I purchased Crossman .22 hollow points locally and they shoot real well. I sure like the magazine and the rifle has all the adjustments externally plus 2 gauges for the air. I recommend this rifle.

nothing

Pyramid Air has the best price

the gun shoots great. I have a range at my house from 50 yards, 60 yards, 70 yards and 80 yards. I shoot tight groups at all distances. I bought the Avenger in the .22 cal. and the 25 cal. The .22 was in the plastic stock and ended up having to send it back and bought the wood stock version. WAY BETTER a much better well made gun. I have added barrel bands and my shot groups improved a lot. At 50 yards I now have two groups, one group of 10 shots and the other group of 5 shots and both groups can be covered by a dime. VERY impressed. The first barrel bands I purchased was the slip on type with no way to tighten. They would slide up and down the barrel, no bueno. I bought the second type that have grub screws at the top and bottom that make the shroud and the air barrel solid. POE does not change when you handle the gun by the barrel.

The only complaint I have is when filling my gun I have to unscrew the moderator to get the quick connect to attach. Even with the DonnyfL adapter there isn't room. If I really force it I can get it on but it scratches up the moderator and I still have to unscrew the moderator almost all the way off. does anyone know of a 90 degree quick connect in 1/8".

Barrel bands that tighten down solid really tighten up your groups.

First I like the power and accuracy, I really like the feel of a wood stock over the plastic ones, the trigger was very good and predictable, and this took light to heavy pellets as well as slugs all with very good results, the power is great and with 43.2 grain pellet busted through pine 2X4's with ease. I also liked the picatinny rail on top as well as under the front for utility reasons. For the price, this nice handy rifle has features I have only found on $1000-1600 rifles, like the trigger, full regulation, hammer adjustment and smooth cocking handle. It is a great package, and truly found my favorite air rifle so far.

I don't have anything I don't like, however I still like open sights option, and would be nice if it was offered in a walnut Montecarlo style stock with deep grip and adjustable cheek piece. and possible higher capacity magazine that was slightly thicker for the big maximum size pellets.

whether you are just beginning or have been around PCP air guns for a long time, this is a great item to add to your collection.

Totally ajustable, very accurate, fun to shoot

none

Take plenty of notes when testing different types of pellets, as to the ajustments that you will be making

Love that its wood and after you add a scope and bipod it really looks good,also that it comes with a single shot tray. Also that you can adjust the power.

The magazines need to be better made or something ,the two i got keep causing jams and the mount on the bottom for a bipod it needs to be metal so that it doesnt move .

I like that it comes with 2 mags i just wished mine didnt causes jams, I would hate to send it back to PA. because it keeps jamming but darn it it took me all night for me to talk my wife into letting me buy this gun and to find out it jams all the time for me.

The wood stock is a nice addition, not just a cheap piece of wood either. Has a nicely balanced feel.

The instruction manual is a bit sparse but YouTube has everything you would ever need to know on this rifle.

The gun is awesome for the price!

The curve in the trigger is to tight for my large finger.

My first one looses pressure, about 200-300lb in 24 hours.
I am waiting for a replacement hoping to get one that holds.

Price, easy to use, accuracy

None

No

fit and finish is great on the pcp. shoots hole in hole at 50 and 25 yards. the wood is very nice a bit slick though . I may sand the finish a bit.

perhaps make the barrel a inch or 2 longer. put gauges on that are easy to read

It seems to shoot almost any pellet or slug very well. Add the Donnie Fl extender, it seems to make it more accurate. Love the gun, highly suggest it to any shooter

Loved the look of the Woodstock. .25 cal works great for hunting some furbrearers

Because of the noise I added a DonnyFL moderator to the barrel which made it a little cumbersome when filling with an air compressor. I would reduce the length of the air tank to be shorter than the barrel

Nothing. Excellent rifle for the price with a beautiful Woodstock!

Love the accuracy. And everything else about the gun

Nothing. Perfection.

Mine is set at 2200psi on the regulator in .25, 0 turns on the hammer, 910 fps 46 fpe with 25.39 jsb Diabolo. I will turn the hammer spring soon to get jsb knockouts going 900 fps, 61 fpe for some coyote hunting. If accuracy is not good there, I will try 950-1000

SOLID AS A ROCK

Larger air capacity.

I have both the polymer and wood versions. The wood version is far superior but does cost more money. Both guns are accurate but the wood version is more accurate. I have my regulator set at 1900psi with about 2 complete turns in on the Hammer Spring. This gives me about 60 good shots with the H&N Terminators. By the way...my rifle loves this pellet.

This is the best air rifle I have shot . Extremely accurate dime size groups at 50 yards no problem even with wind. The Woodstock is superb quality you would think this was an $800 plus gun. I would highly recommend this to anybody looking for an accurate affordable well-made PCP.

Nothing!

Clean the barrel before first use and she likes any pellets around 18 grains .
