I was just thinking of some pleasant surprises I've come across the last few years in airguns. For me , two of the biggest were the Gamo Urban and the Air Venturi Avenger. The Urban is just an absolute reliable and accurate gun that has never acted up since I got it and shoots lights out with several pellets and favors the AA 16 grain over all others but there are several great pellets that group exceptionally well in that gun. The Avenger is new for me. I purchased the wood stock version and it's also another great gun with many pellets shooting very tight groups. I'm not experiencing any problems at all to this point and it is very responsive to adjustments. The reg is rock steady as well with zero creep. I've adjusted the reg up and down several times and it's acting great regardless of where I'm setting it for testing. . I know there were some issues with the Avengers but this one is a great gun. I think some of these guns are now really raising the bar for what will be acceptable when it comes to quality, performance and adjustability with affordable pricing.So what have you guys come across in budget guns let's say 200.00 to 450.00 that blew your mind out of the box stock without having to heavily mod?
Yep, the Urban impresses me everytime I shoot it. A side lever action and a full shroud would put it over the top.
I have certainly learned a lot of models in this post than i was familiar . I actually listed a price range just as a guideline of what i call budget. I really.am.not in the market for.anything new after just buying the Avenger as well as a bunch of pellets and slugs. Just curious what you guys have come across.I.am.finding the replies awesome so I can learn about.some of those other guns I wouldnt have known were such great surprises for many here.
