Ok got the chrony up and going the 33.9's were avg 790fps so almost 100fps slower than the 25.4's, installed the donnyfl tonto and wow, reallymade a difference, BYF now ,talked to Hajimoto and he's working on a baffle stack, I'll get one of those too and it should be mouse fart quiet then . The donnyfl didn't affedt poi at all ,the 25.4's shot a 6 shot group that was one ragged hole at 35yds, the donnyfl adapter was loose I had to wrap it with teflon tape to get it straight, but no baffle strikes so far ,I ordered the .25 cal, some folks recommend going up one cal and with the loose threads that might be wise.

That is on par with some grouping i saw from the FX impact... only difference is the price..

The FX Impact is a whole nother class, but the avenger is knocking on the door, I should sell 5 or 6 guns and buy a impact ,we'll see ,till then I'm enjoying the heck out of this avenger

Ironman, I hope you don't mind me piggybacking on your thread.
This is some quick shots with my new .22 Avenger.
Mounted a 4-16×44 Optisan Mamba lite on top and took it outside to shoot a few shots. I did not adjust anything and first shots with 18 gr JSB were 948, 950 . The reg was set about 2600 and shot a few groups at 35 yards with 18 and 16 gr JSB. They were not great but after about 50 shots it started to tighten up.
Next I dropped the reg pressure to 2200 and backed off the hammer spring until the 18 were at 885. It really started shooting good then . I ran out if time so I left it there for now. I need to clean the barrel and adjust the trigger. Its at 3# out of the box but has a long take up and a little creep. Kinda throws me off but I can make it better.
I'm very pleased with this gun for the $300 I spent on it. It will be nice to keep around as a loaner and all around plinker, hunter.
Sorry about the bad marker writing. Its all i could find.

Randy ,that looks pretty good , I think the 22 will be a all round great cal. Mine was maxed out on HS and reg pressure , and it performs so much netter when backed off that I have to wonder why AV ships them this way, after I did a real thorough barrel cleaning the accuracy improved dramatically.

If i remember correctly, Steve Shalley has a video mentionned of the eco tune..

The regulator was set at 1800psi and shooting similar to your results...

Dont want to mislead nobody here but i think it was verry efficient..

Oh yea, I have a lot more tuning and tweaking to do.
I really want to shoot the 16's around 900 for a pesting gun as I already have my Hubens shooting 18s and 25s.

My patches where identical to yours and it took 10 patches to get it semi-clean.

Well, got my .25 Avenger on Saturday. It came with ~1000 psi so I filled it to 3500psi to let sit overnight. The regulator gauge showed 2900psi which I expected after filling. The gun was light, trigger light and crisp, and side lever smooth. Didn't shoot it.

Sunday morning, cylinder pressure said 3400 but regulator was now at 3200psi (via regulator gauge). Uh oh. Did some off hand shooting with H&N baracuda hunters, grizzlys, and NSA 34g slugs and they all shot well. So close. I then de-gassed it, changed regulator to 2500psi and refilled to 4000psi.

Hours later, Sunday afternoon, regulator gauge says 2800psi. Ack, maybe leaking regulator. Do you guys know of someone at Air Venturi to contact to get repair parts cause I really want to keep this airgun...

It may take some more shots to get the regulator to settle in, even the expensive guns need some lead down range to hit peak performance.

100% agree. Give it a tin of pellets to break in before passing judgment on the reg.

darkcharisma · « **Reply #113 on:** July 26, 2020, 06:16:53 PM »

I am not suprised the regulator spikes above the set range. if its the same Nova parts used in the Liberty, its going to do it. easy to remedy but requires a strip down

If anyone want to send the assembled breech to me, ill fix the reg spike for free. just cover the shipping, ill have it returned in 7 days. i would buy one to play with but i have already spent too much on other airgun purchases. pm me

Just getting my .25 broken in- some starting tune with 25.39 & 33gr.

MaineJim1821 · « **Reply #117 on:** July 30, 2020, 10:58:13 PM »

I got a tracking number on wednesday but hasn't shipped yet.
Hopefully soon.

Update on my .25 avenger with the regulator creep:

Indeed, it has settle a little bit. it was going from 2400psi to 2900+ psi overnight but now it's going from 2400 to 2800 psi and holding there.

I like the rest well enough that I'm gonna keep the gun, hope it settles more, and clean up the regulator if/when I have to open her up for some reason.

Thanks for the help guys. Rob

I may buy one of these guns some day but not today, I've got plenty of guns to play with right now as it is. I've been going hog wild with the Sentrys and have been having a lot of fun with them. It's been causing me to do a lot more casting of pellets and slugs as well because they're simply soooo much fun to shoot.
