Great rifle! Love the weight, nice and light. A little louder than I expected, but still quiet and admittedly I wasnt familiar with how loud PCPs would be. Very accurate at close range! Im not a marksman, but at ~110 ft Im within a 5 inch diameter.

I would have liked a built-in sight, something like the ones that come with any pump or break action.

Great bang for the buck!

Very accurate.gpod regulator and low price.

Needs a wood stock.

Great gun. Buy it while you can.

Everything. This is the new leader in the budget market.....I would put it head to head against rifles 3 times the price actually.

Wish it came with option of a wood stock. Plastic is kinda cheap feeling

Mine came in .22 and so far no issues. Dead on accurate at 50y. Hopefully i can get it out to 100y here soon

The adjustability and versatility is THE thing with this rifle. And I really like the number of shots per fill. Well worth the wait and the price. It definitely delivers value for the price.

The hollow butt. As is, the rifle is a bit muzzle heavy. Consider addig a little more mass to the butt to improve the balance.

1. Add mass to the butt. 2 Shoot it as is right out of the box to get a baseline. 3. Keep a log and document how it shoots before making adjustments. 4 Expect to take alot more time in learning the intricacies of this rifle. 5. Keep a log to help you remember where it's adjusted to when you're finished shooting for the day.

All of it :)

They you should have made the Barrell shroud minimum two inches longer. Limited size diameter to put a Suppressor due to fill cap. Or they should have put some baffles inside.

When fired still as a loud ping, it really needs a suppressor specially if you adjust the fps. Really light even everything on it. Perfect weight to carry when hunting. I'm in the market searching for baffles. I don't want the Airgun to make it longer due to my soft case. For the price you get more and you will be amazed the flexibility to adjust the power. I'm 170 lbs using only hand pump whenit comes to 3k pressure start fighting with you. Here's my Eco tuned, best plinking adjustment for me. Crossman premier holllow point 14.3 grains pellets, average 822 fps, I get 10 shots per 200 psi pressure lost just do the math. Only 20 yrds but, pellets going in the same hole. My Setting regulator 1200 psi, hammer spring 1 1/4 turn. From 3k down to 1k air pressure. I'm enjoying it hope you guys too. Thanks, be safe stay home and start plinking :).. Also thanks Air Venturi staff and the workers. Very good Avenger Airgun :)

Excellent rifle!! No air leak-down, no regulator bleed-up, very accurate over a wide range of .177 pellets. It is pretty much as all the others have described it....can't be beat for the price.

I would change nothing!

When filled to 4300 PSI, I am getting 140 shots ending at 1800 PSI. The regulator is set at 2000 PSI out of the box. I have not needed to adjust it because it is doing what I want the way it is. Had trouble with both of the included magazines binding-up and not feeding pellets. I took the mags apart and sanded the back side of the rotor to thin it up, no more problems after that. The Marauder magazines work without fault in this rifle. No baffles in the shroud but is still fairly quiet.

Too much to say, but I will try. The .22 is simply amazing. ACCURACY-ACCURACY-ACCURACY!!!! Keep in mind that I just received it and have put only 220 pellets through it. No change from factory setting. Shot it head to head with my friends Gauntlet 22 and up to 50 yards the avenger was leading somewhat, but after that there was no competition. The pellet I was using was the JSB 18.13 gr. at 25 yds my hole spread average was .118" from dead center on six 1" targets. The avenger was printing .5" groups at 50 yards. At 75 groups averaged .688" on 3 separate groups. I pushed it to 100 yds feeling that the pellet may be a little light for that distance, but what the heck. What I saw was very confusing. Three separate groups showed up within 1.25" of each other. All three groups averaged .6875". Get that.... .6875" with 1.25" overall 3 group cluster at 100yds w/light pellet . Trying a heavier pellet for that range. Other things I like was the light weight, balance and feel.

Provide in the instructions how to clean the barrel. Better magazines. One out of the two I received were out of sync with the charging and chambering operation.

Gun time!! This gun is simply so unique you need to get to know all of its potential. I now own over 10 air rifles, mostly magnums and this one is truly impressive with what can be done to tune it. I tried the JSB 18.13 grains because of AEAC' video on the avenger .22. Check it out. Very impressive. Overall, I consider this is a fantastic gun to shoot and tune. My purchase was mostly for hunting in the field for small game but do like to go head to head with others .22's.

The gun is very light and super accurate. I have the 22 caliber. It shots both Hades and FX hybrid slugs very well.

The front plastic stock should be one piece, as it creaks a little when free hand shooting. Also length of pull on trigger is way too long and adjustment screw for it can not compensate.

Mine is the .25 caliber. For the most part, very well built. Extremely accurate with most (8 out of 12) pellets/slugs I had available at the time when I was testing the rifle (most were single holing at 25 yards). This is my very first PCP rifle so I dont have anything to scale this rifle against but in my opinion for $300 bucks, its absolutely worth looking at for your next purchase.

The only real thing I can say that I felt was in need of change is the stock. I realize a $300 dollar gun isnt a top of the line rifle but that is just my opinion. Also the picatinny rail on the stock could be a little stiffer to allow less movement with the bipod.

Mine came from the factory set at 2900psi pushing the pellets down range which could have a lot to do with why I couldnt get some of the ammo to shoot well. Ill be doing some tinkering with the trigger spring and shot pressure to see if I can get a higher shot count.

Accuracy unreal , I bought 2 , .22 &.25 both are super accurate hole in hole all way to 50yds thats far i can shoot , super easy to tune any pellet or slug the avenger is a great gun for the price .

Nothing, i even like the stock don't have to worry about putting scratches in pretty wood .

I put a donnyfl on mine super quiet

1. weight of rifle 2. cocking lever 3. rail under front of stock for bipod or light 4. setup for sling 5. safety is not automatically applied

So far, nothing

This is my first .25 PCP rifle. I am amazed at all of the features of this $300 gun. I have four other PCP rifles and this is now my go to rifle for target shooting and pest riddance. Mounted with a CV Life 6-24x50 scope and shooting the JBS King .25 pellets, my 50 yard groups are consistently at 1 inch ctc.

What's not to like? The time it takes to get it. That is the only thing I didn't like. This gun has it all, side-lever cocking, adjustable trigger, adjustable regulator, adjustable hammer, tack-driving accuracy. And don't believe all that hype about hand pumping this gun, I am 66 years old and I hand pump it to 4000 psi with a Hill MK4

The stock. My fix, take the recoil pad off and fill it with fiberglass, replace recoil pad, done deal.

Buy it, it's the best $300.00 you'll ever spend!

Butter smooth side lever cocking, very good adjustable trigger, and best of all: external adjustable regulator and hammer spring. For a $300 dollar gun, the molded plastic stock is very nice, virtually seamless and light weight. Picatinny rails top and front forestock are a nice feature. Initially, I filled reservoir with hand pump. No problem to 3200 psi. Using JSB 25.39 pellets and FX 26 grain hollow point slugs, the Avenger is dead accurate at 65 yards. I set the regulator at 1900 psi, with the hammer spring adjusted 2 & 3/4 turns in. Accuracy is phenomenal, and power at this setting @ 34 fpe. It was a long wait from preorder to receipt of gun, but OH WAS IT WORTH IT! Thanks Air Venturi, and thanks to PA for excellent service.

I would change nothing. The features, performance, and value for the money rivals or exceeds many of the high end guns that I have had the pleasure to own or shoot.

At first I was concerned about the high fill pressure, but after easily hand pumping to 3000 psi, and getting the accuracy-power-and high shot count, I am totally sold on the Avenger, AND think that it is the best value of any air rifle on the planet. This "package" should put all other manufacturers on notice: + consider that it is made in China!!!

Affordable, with the exception of required support equipment, this is my my first PCP, Very Accurate, Practically no recoil compared to my break barrel which must contribute to some accuracy for me, Light weight and has all the adjustment.

Nothing for a $300 PCP

Purchase the 22cal. without adjustment I set up my target at 25 yards. First 4 free handed shots (16gr AA Diablolo Field) quarter size group (I didn't know I was capable), adjusted scope (Hawke Vantage AO 3-9x 50mm) had dialed it in with one clip. Pellets were completely penetrating and blowing out my 3/4" OSB backboard! Neighbor flagged me, thought I was shooting a firearm! he was cool and even happy when I told him it was for the varmints. So the 22 is pretty loud as shipped. I'll probably tune it down to 1800psi. (Maybe) Overall the investment for my first PCP was pricey, I purchased a 4500psi 45min used tank with a few years left, a budget fill adapter, and a electric compressor (+ a few fittings). The thing about this is I CAN shoot it in my back yard and its accurate and powerful without practically any recoil, with my brake barrel I could never get any accuracy, no comparison to this gun.

this rifle is light, accurate, smooth, adjustable. some people complain about the cheap stock. It doesn't bother me at all...makes it super light!

It has a little bark to it, I purchased a donnyfl adaptor and a tonto and it is now church mouse quiet...if it came with its own adaptor it would be nice....but for a $300 dollar rifle with all these features and accuracy..im not going to complain.

This rifle is a STEAL!!!

.177. Well made for the price. Easily tuned.

I haven't figured that out yet.

Out of the box, after a thorough cleaning, it shot 10.4 jsbs at 1028fps. WHAT?. I emptied the air, turned regulator to zero, recharged the air and proceeded. After a lot of adjusting I am at zero turns on the spring, 5/8ths on the regulator showing about 110 bar and it is now shooting the 10.4s at 900fps. Something is not right. Crossman 10.5s and JSB 10.34s shoot very well. Hades and h@n extreme hunters are all over the place. Disappointing.

Price, Accuracy, Trigger, side lever and consistency. This is just a quick first impressions review which I will update later. During my time sighting the gun in I got multiple shots in the same hole at 25 yds, once I got 3 shots in the exact same hole and had to stop and check it out because I couldn't believe the repeatability of this gun. I didn't even clean the barrel yet because I was so anxious to shoot the gun. The trigger pull was good as received, but after a couple tweaks it is now really smooth. The side level cocking has a really nice and smooth pull back and forth, I'm really surprised this gun only costs $300.

Make it quieter for .25 cal and stiffen up the bottom rail so bi-pod is more solid....these are minor complaints.

This gun in .25 cal is NOT backyard friendly. Shooting it inside out a window is still pretty loud outside and shooting it outside makes it sound like a firearm.

Just took delivery of the Avenger today in .25,unboxed and mounted scope a Hawke Vantage 3-9x40,took around 6 shots to zero at 50 yards shooting JSB EXACT King 25,39gr using a FX radar average 944 FPS,tried NSA slugs 26,8gr average 902 FPS. Will do fine tuning over next few weeks. Regulator seems maxed out,so probably lower reg to around 2400psi for pellets. Overall initial impression is outstanding.

Picatinny Rail to attach a Bi-Pod seems flimsy and moves with Bi-Pod attached

Fitting a moderator will tame this rifle for backyard,for hunting in the woods probably ok without
