I am MUCH happier with the results now.
Lowered my regulator pressure to 2100 and put the hammer spring to +4 turns in.
It is till getting an average of 895 with JSB Exact Kings 25.39 grains.

here is the target with 24 shots.
YES ...I did crop the picture to exclude the other pellets...since this is the only group that was really worth mentioning.

I tried polymags and 31 grain Kodiaks, some RatSniper slugs and the FX Hybrids.
None of those were even close to the JSB Exact Kings.
BUT I did not try to push the slugs and expect that further tuning would settle things down with each.
For now I will concentrate on these JSBs as I will likely not be working past 50 yards in the squirrel woods.

I really hate to be the one to say it but..... to all those folks out there with Marauders.... the resale value just went down..

maybe ,but my .25 synrod will out shoot my avenger at 35yrds all day long ,but I'm tweeking the avenger trying to wring some more accuracy out of it, as far as shot count the avenger wins hands down.

The point is.... I bet you got more than $300 in the SynRod... quite a bit more.

I've got the .25 avenger taken apart to clean and crown the barrel, it actually had a slight crown already I just added a little more , after cleaning the bore with JB paste and lubing with balistisal I pust a jsb 25.39 exact king through the bore with a cleaning rod ,it was tight for the first 1-1/2 then almost no resistance the rest of the way ,no choke, is this normal ,does the air pressure when fired flare the skirt and seal the bore?

i dont think i have ever had this much fun with a marauder like i'm
having with the .22 avenger in the last 3 weeks.
i've tuned it about 10-12 different ways and its been a great time....

The only issue I see right now is this unrelenting heat. I'm really in no mood for sitting outside and shooting after 9 hours in Haities. I have a feeling, just like the rest of my guns, this one will get very little use until it cools down. This is a hobby and hobbies are to be enjoyed. I don't find the sensation of sweat rolling down any crevasse in my body the least bit enjoyable.

I got the .25 back together and did a little camo,used plastic dip on the stock, don't think I'll do a muti color with the plastic dip again ,at least not with the netting pattern,but still turned out alright, used krylon on the shroud and air tube it worked great.the Haji airstripper and baffles should be here tomrw ,will wait for that before shooting.

So, while the rest of you are trying to unsee any images my previous post may have conjured up I made my way to the indoor workbench where the a/c prevents the images from becoming a reality.
The Avenger got it's glass..
I chose the UTG 2-12X44 Accushot Swat IE Scope like this one....
https://www.pyramydair.com/product/utg-3-12x44-ao-swat-accushot-rifle-scope-ez-tap-illuminated-mil-dot?a=3493

And just as I was torquing down the last screw, FedEx showed up with my 2 extra mags.
The BiPod shown in the video is scheduled to arrive Wednesday.
I already have a 3" side focus wheel.
I'll look through my assortment of slings for the best fit. I already have a nice locking aluminum case for the complete kit.

LOL ROTF

Well Glad I got my M-Rod NIB on the cheap then, after selling the wood stock off of it I'm in for the same price as a new Avenger... Ok I will have to add $50.00 for the regulator that I have for it, and as of yet have not installed $:-\$

With 35yd 5 shot groups like this what's not to like

OTmachine · « **Reply #277 on:** August 17, 2020, 10:51:59 PM »

Wayne, Great shooting! I have a 4-16x44 UTG coming which should help me out. Thanks for posting.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #278 on:** August 17, 2020, 11:08:06 PM »

Thanks Joe !!! the scope that I have on mine right now is a new looking old UTG 4-16 but it's not as nice as the swat UTG that I have on my Liberty. Eventually I'll get a newer one for it with the side parallax.

I am only getting 3 full turns on the spring tension on my .25. Is anyone else seeing that?
