Well, these things aren't assembled by robots so you do have the human factor. Then there is the Friday and Monday morning guns.

35 yrds on that target., the only mag I used was a tight fit in the reciver gotta push hard to snap in in all the way,but thats not necessarily a bad thing,and will probably loosen up some with use.
That's normally a barrel too far back issue. You can probably adjust that if it don't get better.

yeah don't know why I didn't think of that ,had to do it on my NV Freedom every time I remove the barrel, no baffles in the dead space of the shroud ,a air stripper is one of the first things I'll try to build, already have a donnyfl tanto with adapter on the way, its a little loud for BYF use but not horrible.

Accuracy should improve if you take it to 850-875fps, but you know this .

Ironman482 · « **Reply #44 on:** July 19, 2020, 07:10:52 PM »

Correction on the fps , my chrony was set on mps ,I'll ck again later with 25.4 gr jsb's, also I might have a leak ,after 4 mags of 8 on the 5th mag it came off the reg, so its sitting now at 4k and will ck on it in a couple hrs.

Actually fps is correct when I turned the caldwell chrony off I pushed the switch too far and ended up on mps ,seen it later and turned it off and thought I had used it on mps ,after doing the conversion, realized no way was it on mps. I just need to sloooow down.lol

Not a good sign. Steve from AEAC mentioned in his review that the first rifle he received had a "leaky reg" and he was sent a replacement rifle from Pyramyd Air. He also mentioned the replacement was leak free and he liked the gun so much he opted to keep it for himself.

The avenger has held 4k for 2 hrs now so false alarm on the leak , one thing I noticed is the mag is thinner than a gauntlet or mrod .25 mag ,but a 22 nova vista freedom mag is same size as the avenger .25 mag ,so they used the same breech for all calibers it looks like. So heavy slugs in 25 probably are a no go ,I did try some griffen 29 grn rat sniper slugs they fit and shot good but not as well as the jsb 25.4

Thanks for the updates Ronald. Keep up the good work!

Back_Roads · « **Reply #51 on:** July 19, 2020, 08:26:58 PM »

Predictions were that the .25 may tie or fall short of the .22 but other aspects look promising

Ironman482 · « **Reply #52 on:** July 19, 2020, 09:24:14 PM »

Shot this 8 shot group at 35yds with 29gr griffin slugs 5 of them were about 3/4 inch but I pulled the other 3 ,in better hands than mine I think it will do 1/2 in groups at 35yrds

avator · « **Reply #53 on:** July 19, 2020, 09:27:27 PM »

Just a hint. Take a black sharpie and put a dot in the middle of that red dot about the size of a pellet.... aim at the black dot.... You'll tighten those groups up.

Many of us, including myself... when I aim at a 1/2" target I get 1/2" groups..... providing the gunand pellet are capable.

Acapulco · « **Reply #54 on:** July 19, 2020, 09:41:51 PM »

He's basically saying...aim small, miss small. Hey, it's a new gun, takes time to figure it out.

have fun !!

A few posts back he said false alarm. Has been holding air at his fill pressure for two hours.

Ironman482 · « **Reply #57 on:** July 19, 2020, 11:04:08 PM »

Thanks for the tip Bill, I adjusted the trigger to 2lbs and degassed ,adjusted the reg to 2550ish as those gage's are hard to read backed the HS off 1 turn ,chrony'd 897 avarage for 8 shots then shot these two groups, more better!!!! With JDB 25.39 pellets

scratchnv · « **Reply #58 on:** July 19, 2020, 11:17:25 PM »

You've been busy. Those groups are looking much better!

Bunyboyz · « **Reply #59 on:** July 20, 2020, 07:17:05 AM »

I think a lot of people we’re eager for July 20th. I’m awaiting more reports on this rifle.
