Page 2 - Air Venturi TR5 Reviews

Light weight, easy to cock. The magazines feed smoothly. Nice built in adjustment features, and a very nice trigger, which is adjustable for angle and pull as well. Very usable open sights, that adjust nicely. Accuracy has steadily improved with the number of pellets shot through it, easily grouping le 1/2 to 3/4 inch at my max range of 20 yds with the open sights.

There needs to be a way to keep the pellets from falling out of the magazines. I ordered 2 extra magazines because I liked the idea of being able to load 4 and have them ready to shoot. However, there is not a ring or other way to keep the pellets in the magazines, so if they are turned over after loading, the pellets fall right back out, negating any advantage of having extra magazines.

Other than the problems with the pellets falling out of the magazines, this is a great little rifle for the money. Great built in features, should fit a wide range of shooter sizes and ages.

Funny rifle. Nice to work with her. Fairly accurate, lightweight and easy to operate. The assembly is not German, but well done

The shutter cocking lever bounces from its place when fired. It needs a more reliable fixation

Inexpensive rifle

It's a fun little gun. Adjustable stock is nice feature; good for inexpensive pellet gun, janky if on real rifle. Side cocking better facilitates prone shooting (not as good as bolt or semi). 11mm / 3/8 mount on top for scope, rail underneath for bipod.

A way to remove magazine after last shot without having to cock, remove mag, dry fire. I use cleaning pellet rather than dry fire.

READ MANUAL. Check out parts and screws; give functions check and a few dabs of oil before shooting. Not match-grade accuracy. IZH 61 extra mags work fine in it. Use wadcutters (Crossman premium match) with Air Venturi pellet pen; I did NOT have any pellets fall out of any of the 4 mags I have, as experienced by other purchasers.

I like the design and side lever action. Stock is good and the sights are ok. Fun to have five shots.

Make scope rail metal. I worry that I will damage the polymer rail. Green color is kinda yellowish. Brighter green? Neon? LOL! And I would pay more for a version that was more accurate. This is a good plinker.

The one I got is a nice plinker.

My 10 year old grandkid can operate it. Easily adjustable stock works for all family members. Fun, fun, fun!

Pellets will fall out of the mag if not careful.

Iron sights and bifocals don't mix.

Easy to operate, especially for young people. Super easy to take apart to get at the internals. Piston seal was perfect, and it looked like the parts that would normally damage them during assembly we're deburred. The trigger is good. Breaks clean and is repeatable. Getting 4.5 fpe on average, and shots are really consistent fps-wise.

It's not accurate, 2-3" at 20 yards. I've tried everything I can think of, but with each 5 shots I can get two groups that nearly touch each other, but an inch apart and a flyer. At this point I have about 300 shots through it, have cleaned the barrel with kroil and JB paste, polished the internals, applied krytox lube, and added a bit of preload to the spring. Every step of that tightened things up a bit, but not there yet. The stock is a bit wobbly, and it could be longer.

I was able to find a sling stud that fit the rail very cheap, then a bipod fit fine. The offset mount for a bugbuster fir just fine.

The adult-sized hand grip and adjustable length-of-pull (12.4 to 14.6 inches). The easy cocking force of 15 lbs. The mounting rails for bipod / accessories and scope. And the generally sturdy feel.

Clean the barrel better; make the adjustable stock less wiggly when in the extended position. And improve the trigger action some.

I got energy from 2.9 to 4.2 ft-lbs, depending on ammo. The rifle's accuracy depends a lot on how consistently you can hold it; my average 5-shot group is about 3/4 inch at 10 yards, others can probably do better. The TR5 won't win many benchrest competitions, but it's a lot of fun hitting targets of appropriate size.

I like it all, The rifle and the concept... Especially like the Exceptional trigger, the Multi-shot capability and ease of cocking. Price is really quite right.

Sturdier connection on the stock length adjustment. It wobbles and moves a bit and is sometimes annoying to hear it move. If anyone has a fix, let me know. Also, would have additional cartridges for sale at order to avoid additional shipping costs on a small order. Would love to see a good video review too.

Once I got through the initial period of personally getting use to the rifle and best working practices, and the initial break-in of the rifle itself (a good tin full) I am very impressed. Can't wait to see what others have to say and what kinds of add ons they consider worthy.

I like the looks , the feel , shoulder like an AR-15 CAR. but way lighter , meaty hand/pistol grip , meaty forearm , easy to cock , EXCELLENT TRIGGER ! No twang or grinding noises , 11mm rail on receiver , 10 M slot under firearm , nice touch . Very adjustable stock . I like it , allot :-)

One full inch of length longer in adjustment on stock . Not much to complain about on this Rifle :-)

I personally do not feel a young child will do well with this stock , as the pistol grip handle is Full Size Adult and so is the Forearm .
