I find it hard to believe I'm the only one in this group thats got a avenger so far ,would have thought the forum would've lit up with reports. By now. I've noticed the reg tends to creep up in pressure if you let it sit without firing for several hours , this is my 1st reg gun with a gage for the reg ,so don't know if this is common or not,what say yee experts of the airgun elite. LOL

I preordered one 1 week after you and just tonight I received a "order processing" notif1tition.
Last January I purchased one of the $100.00 Liberty returns and it has worked flawlessly since I received it. I did add a gauge to the bottom on the plenum and it always showed creeping after sitting for a couple of days. I'm stilling using the original poppet which I was planning to replace. Since it cost me $200.00 more I hoping that it will perform as advertised.

My .25 Avenger shipped last Friday. Spozed to be here by Thursday. We should start seeing other reports pretty soon.

I have put in an order for the .177 I think that will be a fun little gun to tune and plink with. With all the pellet and slugs out there and with the adjustability of this gun it should be a great plinker and small game hunter. We will see when I get her.

I removed tje SWFA SS 16X ,Just couldn't get used to the eye relief, installed a cheap tasco 2.5 x 10 and sifhted in with jsb 25.4 s same accuracy 3/4 @ 30yrds ,decided to try some seneca 35.8 pellets shot 1inch low at 35 but same 3/4 group, haven't chronyed them but probably 850-870 as the 25.4's were 896 fps ,gonna adjust the trigger a little lower ,my lyman scale says 2lbs but feels like more,and clean the barrel again, the reg is still at 2600, thunking about turning it down to 2400 ,my gauntlet 25 is set at 2150 and is very accurate at that psi ,don't know the plenum size on either ,but the gaunlets been opened up to .290 IIRC so I'm thinking the avenger has a smaller plenum.

.290 was on my bulldog don't remember the size on the gauntlet.

darkcharisma · « **Reply #66 on:** July 21, 2020, 03:07:52 PM »

I am waiting for you to open up the plenum and measure with fluids. i bet its 5cc, what say you?

Ironman482 · « **Reply #67 on:** July 22, 2020, 10:37:31 PM »

Ok, I did a full string today ,dang its hot in the shop,I adjusted the reg to 2200psi and backed the HS off another 1/2 turn, with a 4000psi fill ( I'm not gonna do 4350 ) so I got 48 shots 6 full mags before it came off the reg last shot was still 10fps above lowest shot,average fps 881 , hi 892 low 868 ES 24 ,thats where I'm leaving it for now ,will check accuracy at that tune tomorrow, getting dark right now , anyway thats my 1st full tune on the 25 cal with JSB 25.4 EXACT's.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #68 on:** July 23, 2020, 12:41:29 AM »

Ronald that baby is definitely slinging those JSB's fast enough for sure and it does look like it'll be promising for the right slugs as well, I may have to just pick me up one of these guns in .25 because my Liberty in .22 covers the Nova Vista category for me. I have a mold that'd work really good for that gun and that gives me another good reason to buy one of these in .25. I sure do wish they had wood as an option too.

scratchnv · « **Reply #69 on:** July 23, 2020, 01:07:54 AM »

Ronald, those numbers look really good. Nearly 44 FPE with less than 38 PSI per shot. Very efficient tune you got there. Let's hope those groups like this tune as well.

Ironman482 · « **Reply #70 on:** July 23, 2020, 10:41:55 AM »

Eayne, I don't see AV offering a wood stock ,just too much happening uder that plastic ,maybe Boyds will come up with one if enough people ask , and as light as the gun is alittle more wieght won't hurt the handling much ,it needs more wieght towards the rear anyway, the avenger was pushing the jsb's at 940 out of the box, I wonder why AV maxed the reg and HS out at the factory, thr pellet accuracy has to be better at around 870 or so.

Ironman482 · « **Reply #71 on:** July 23, 2020, 10:56:18 AM »

Heres a 8 shot group @ the new tune 25.4 JSB's the first 5 were almost same hole last 3 opened it up but thats on me just can't seem to keep a decent sight pic ,gun needs more wieght on the rear for me, the potential is there.

RDB · « **Reply #72 on:** July 23, 2020, 11:14:52 AM »

Looks like its liking the new tune.
Can you pull the but pad and get to the hollow part of the stock? We use to fill the rear of our 880's with silicone for more weight and a solider feel. May help with yours if its possible.

Ironman482 · « **Reply #73 on:** July 23, 2020, 11:27:53 AM »

Yes the butt pad comes off ,I was thinking of filling it with expanding foam and a piece of 5/8 round bar ,but don't know if that will expand the stock to much ,I'm thinking if the buttpad is off all the pressure should go out the open end but the risk of damage might not be worth it.

avator · « **Reply #74 on:** July 23, 2020, 11:31:36 AM »

I would go with silicone caulk.... maybe even dump some of those useless pellets in there that none of our guns shoot well.
Tape a tube of caulk unto the bottom of your stock to get the feel of how it will affect balance before you do the deed.

Ironman482 · « **Reply #75 on:** July 23, 2020, 11:39:21 AM »

I have a bunch of #4 bird shot ,like 4 25lb bags that I'll never load all of for shotgun use think I'll use that now that you mentioned the pellets Knife.

grand-galop · « **Reply #76 on:** July 23, 2020, 12:13:18 PM »

One thing that work for me was filling the buttstock with expanding foam and shooting a thin film of bedliner in the bedding of the stock...

It gives the little play no room to go..

AGEnthused2 · « **Reply #77 on:** July 23, 2020, 12:31:48 PM »

I’ve used rubber mulch to fill several hollow plastic stocks, it’s been working well for me.

Still waiting for my .177 to ship. Ordered on 7/1. On @SSS$$$'s review of the Avenger he put a 1lb block of duct seal, intact with the wrapper in the buttstock & said it really helped. Good review! Air Venturi Avenger PCP air rifle

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #79 on:** July 23, 2020, 01:57:19 PM »

The expanding foam will not have enough power to ruin the stock, some kind of weight and anchor it with the expanding foam.

BTW looks like the gun is a shooter, 48 shots at that power ?
is 3 times the shots you get with a Maurader
