Air Venturi Avenger Hawke Combo Reviews

This review is for the complete package, rifle, scope and case. The rifle is accurate and consistent in velocity. The scope is a fine piece of optics. The case adds good value to the package as well, even if it isa difficult to close at times.

Tis is my second avenger in this configuration. I also have the model in .177. Each came with selection of hex keys, and a re-build kit of various O-rings. Given that PCP guns can cause the O-rings to wear and fail this is a good thing. It would also be a good thing to include a chart identifying the rings and a diagram indicating exactly where each one would go when the time comes, as it will.

These guns would have a finer "feel" if they were outfitted with wooden stocks. Such stocks are available and even with the added cost this package is still a value when you consider the price of the version in wood with the scope and case purchased separately and the 20.shots for $20 mount and zero service.

Size, weight, low recoil, the overall cost.

I would definitely change the magazine cassette.

Super accurate and quiet. Zero complaints bout the gun or service. Case came cracked in shipping and pyramid was quick to send out label to get me a replacement great customer service

Shipping times and maybe packaging

Good power, consistent velocity, superb accuracy. 20 for 20 service included with purchase. I ordered this gun on 11/29/24 PA tested it on 12/3/24. I received it on 12/9/24 already pressurized to approx 3000psi. Reg is set to approx 2000psi. I shot a few "to prove it worked" and put it away for the next day.12/11/24 shot 20 shots to fine tune the 10 yd sight-in to my 20 yd and slightly downhill backyard range and 10.5gr Crosman Premier domes then sent about 20 more shots (lost count, finicky chrono) that could be covered by a dime with no further adjustments needed . Main gauge needle had scarcely moved. Pressurized up to 4000psi. Next dry day I'll try to find out how many shots it takes to go off register, if the day is long enough.

Side lever throw seemed a little long, but I am new to side lever guns so what do I know?

Gun and scope together have a bit of heft to them. The included scope is high quality, not a cheaped out toy. The Plano case can be a bit of work to close, but give it time.

I got this about a year and a half ago. I had the 20 shot string done by PA; this thing was absolute money out of the box. So far, an incredible rifle. If your new to PCP Air Rifles and want an encouraging leap into the hobby, I highly recommend this one to do it with.

Nothing.

Get it with the Hawk Scope, you won't regret it.

Quiet, accurate, and easy to use. Everyone looks at this gun and knows how it works. PA tune was great and the scope was dialed in exactly right when I opened it up. Totally worth having them set it up and tune it compared to needing to sort this out myself.

Slide is a bit rougher than I would expect, but I think this is mostly due to the magazine not fitting cleanly with the bolt. With a single shot the slide is much cleaner. Scope is good but not great.

This is my first PCP as I expect will be many other buyers. Compared to CO2 and break barrels, there are different tradeoffs. You get the consistency of a break barrel without sacrificing the orientation from the shooting position. CO2 swap is very fast, but recharging the PCP takes some minutes. On the plus side, the consistency from the regulated PCP feels dependable.

Awesome deal. Why I waited like fool for over a deal like this is beyond me. Glass alone is over $200.00 not counting rings then a high quality case for around $75.00 plus the avenger $349.00 that’s over a couple hundred cheaper than buying it separately. The glass is crystal clear at all the ranges needed for the task at hand. The Avenger is just so accurate trigger is nice it’s just an amazing piece of equipment.

Get the package deal get a JTS compressor maybe a mini bottle. But definitely a jts pump from here. Things amazing best of the sub $800.00 pumps. Lots of pellets. JSB 15-18 grain in 22 any typ of pellets I’m seeing.

Great package deal. Good solid build. I was really excited to buy. Ive had it for a bit more than a year now and Ive hit paper with it twice. I dont know if I received one with a defective barrel or or a defective scope. Ive tried a number of remedies ranging from different pellets/slugs to different scopes to no avail. I learned that I am patient to a fault, I should have returned it a very long time ago. Oh well.

Good deal. Not happy with the scope though.

It’s a great package deal. I’m having Scope issues so if they persist I’ll contact Pyramid and hopefully they’ll make it right.

I bought this combo on a Pre-Order. The wait was awful but, it really wasn’t that bad.

The quality of the package deal. I'm new to air rifles. So I was going straight of of reviews. I was not disappointed. This is going to be fun!

good package deal , this is my 3rd avenger they are great guns the scope is nice

i wish the avenger came with iron sights all rifles should have that option

scope was mounted but not zeroed

This is a great package deal , good gun and scope . The case is fine holds the gun well and nice to store in . It did show up ready to fine sight in and that only took 8 shots and it was money.

I would not change anything it's a good deal .

The gun shoots well it came very close to being dialed in it's quiet and you get around 40 shots before it starts to fall off excellent buy

first i like that the kit came with a carry carry, the scope, rifle has two regulators thats another plus, i really like the side lever, what is there not to like about this bundle. plus i got a the steel silhouettes as a bonus.

nothing

trigger for me was a little uncomfortable, trying to pump this up to the max 4500 psi with a hand pump and i didnt have enough but 3000 psi was doable. I plan on getting a portable air compressor. scope is clear and user freindly. I just used the single shot tray and used benjamin 25 cal pellets first five shots were all over the next ten where in a group of 3/4 to an inch and high, using the mil dots i compensated and the next group completly took out the bullseye i dont know how many pellets were shot, shooting at 25 yds with a little bit of wind. Just wanted to get it out and shhot before the bad weather gets. I would urge you to read the reviews and the article that Tom writes. I have no problems with this package and would recommend. I watched a few videos of a person hunting with this gun, use these resources its a great. Regular sling will not work am planning to get swivel studs that have the washer and nut, thats my solution will post a pic of studs when i get em.

GREAT .22 caliber combo, more accurate than I expected and very easy to tune to the pellets! Has to be one of the best deals out there!!!

Try to offer same combo with wood stock!

Nope

This was my first PCP purchase. The combo seemed like a no brainer and was pretty set up right out of the box! I did some adjustments to the windage and was shooting quarter size groups that afternoon. I cant wait to start playing with the pressure settings and different projectiles. Love it!

Stock is what it is. For an entry level rifle Im still satisfied.

It more accurate than I had expected. The hawke score is great also!

I am thrilled with the precision and power of the Air Venturi Avenger.

I recently bought an Air Venturi Avenger (in .25) in a packet deal with a case and scope. Pyramyd Air did a nice job of mounting and sighting in the scope. I did paid a bit extra for a Pro tune which without a doubt saved me much time and has the rifle dead on at 30yds.(which is where I tested it). I am very happy with the rifle and the workmanship of Pyramyd Air. Again thank you Pyramyd Air for providing great service and a fine product list. As the man said " Ill be back!" PS Thanks for the Slynger Metal Silhouette Targets

If I were to split hairs and find a complaint it wound be that the scope is a bit heavy for my liking. Am I going to change it No, not that big of a deal.

I like pretty much everything about it. After I'd spent a lot of time looking at Benjamin Marauders and FX rifles, Ruth at Pyramyd Air recommended I at least give this a look, and it was a great recommendation. This combination saved several hundred dollars, and - possibly because I paid for the EcoTune - came off the FedEx truck ready to shoot, even with enough air in it. I ordered on Thursday afternoon and was on the range on Saturday afternoon! The scope combines well with the rifle, at least for my "plinking, maybe field target" use. Off the bench it shoots penny-sized groups at 25 yards with a variety of pellets. We got 100+ shots that first day, and my Yong Heng compressor restored the air in just a few minutes.

Twice in the first 100 shots I had pellets "stick," with the charging arm not going forward easily. Not sure what happened, but I gradually eased the bolt forward and everything worked. In general the side bolt works fine, but the words "like butter" do _not_ come to mind. I'm going to try a little moly and see if it smooths out. The rifle is quite plasticy, and I may buy a wood stock, but that's purely aesthetic - it works fine and is nicely balanced. Even in 177, even the latest version (which supposedly has barrel baffles), it's a little loud to be backyard friendly. I'll probably add a DonnyFL suppressor at some point. It's nice that I can!

Amazing service with Pyramyd Air. I've been a Tom G fan for many decades, and am happy to shop at the place he associates with.

Price, shot count.

The reg leaked, sent it back.

I am very pleased with the product. Performs as expected if not better.
