Air Venturi has set the bar for inexpensive top notch PCP with the Avenger !!!

[Wayne52]

Since having mine for 8 days now is proof enough that the gun is phenomenal for the price and what it has to offer.  The amazing part is that everything it offers it does nicely and without even a hicup so far.  At the moment I have mine tuned for the NOE 250-27-RF Hunters in 26 grain.



With the 26 grain "Hunter" I'm getting great 5 shot groups



Right now I have a UTG 4-16X 44mm old scope that's probably 1/3rd the weight of the gun but man does it perform well on this gun.
I may soon break down and try one of the Discovery scopes, I'm sure that I can find one that's comparable in functions that's much lighter.
The thing that's nice about the UTG I have on it is it only cost me the price of shipping and came with everything including the battery (never use them).
The scope itself is like brand new and works very smoothly but I hate not having side parallax.

When I first got the gun I tried 34.5 grain "Magnum Hunter's in it, It came with the reg gauge set to 2900psi from the box.  At that setting it was getting in the mid
55fpe range but no where near as many shot's per fill like I have it tune now with lighter shorter pellets.  The accuracy was excellent as well.  The Avenger
wouldn't have a problem at all shooting a coyote at 50 yards if the user was capable.

As many of you know I'm into making my own pellets and slugs and haven't purchased any .22 or larger in over 2 years now, my hat's off to Bob Sterne (designer) and
Al @Noe builder for making such quality molds for airguns.



I actually hope this Avenger goes the distance of the warranty and only time and use will tell.

Wayne,  As usual, a great informative post.  Thanks for sharing your results.

The Avenger has to be new pcp of the year ... hitting a list of features with a 6 lbs weight .. you usually see on upper end gun's....  ... I can  see  a wood stock being available for this gun ... maybe we could get boyds to make a nice laminate for it ,who ever does it will sell them like crazy

They are gonna sell a boatload of them for sure, They hit it outa park rarely you see even much higher price guns with so little GEN I problems and so many pluses.

It would look great to in a slim Bullpup configuration with those equal length tubes, and of course a nice wood stock will be a great ad to the line.

They might put a few manufacturers out of business ...even if they ad 100 bucks for the bullpup and wooden stocked rifle.

Thanks for the great replies everyone !!! I just topped it off and will be heading for the woods with it in about an hour.  I did see one very big red squirrel yesterday however it was moving like a streak out of the pines, through the hardwoods and into the swamp, there was no chance on that one.

I've been considering an entry level PCP for a while now. Just to see what it's all about. This "Avenger" while no beauty queen, seems like a good place to dip my toe in the water. And while apparently "I'm not a fan", I cant help but wonder how the "Avenger" would compare to a regulated "Sentry". In my opinion the "Sentry" is the better looking of the two...

[avator]

I don't think it was made to be pretty. I think I was made to use. Form followed function on this one. I think they listened to all of our comments and suggestions on the larger than life Marauder. I also think they hit it out of the park. And they did it at half the cost compared to the M/SRod when they hit the market.
The downside, if any, will be to those of you who have the uncontrollable need to mod and upgrade. So far all we've seen is attempts to quiet it more, which BTW, I don't find the gun any louder than the M/SRod. I'm certainly not going to change that on mine.
I've also seen a few adding filler inside the stock... I don't know what this is about... I don't hear any noise coming out of it like a springer has and I definitely don't want to add weight to the gun. The 6.0lb. was one of the reasons I bought the gun. The gun is balanced and shoulders well.
I really do like wood and metal guns and I own several... they are pretty to look at... and too pretty to drag around in the woods, strap to the rack on my 4 wheeler or toss in the back seat of my truck. They also add weight.
Bullpup? Forgetaboutit... I'm not a bullpup kinda guy. Tried it, don't like it.
I bought it, scoped it, added a clap on, clap off solid bipod and it's good to go. We don't even have to add so much as a sling stud... they are already there.
In my opinion, this is the sliced bread of PCP.

Did I mention that spare mags are under $10 and you can order them virtually anywhere?

Oh and one more thing.... NO FLIPPIN' FILL PROBE !!! I HATE FILL PROBES !!!

[DevilsLuck]

Sounds quite appealing. Now; if only they were available...

[avator]

In that respect I got lucky, I guess. I wanted a .25, went to the R&L website and ordered it and didn't pay a dime over the $300 price.... shipped. 4 days later I had it in my hands.
I don't think we'll see all the pushed back dates on these, I think the delays are due to the shipping/Covid-19 issues.

[markjs]

I'm beginning to think this gun needs it's own sub forum.

[FuzzyGrub]

Excellent Wayne!  I never thought you would get that power and shot count out of it at only a 3600 fill.

Nova basically read about all of the mods people like Stephen and Duy did to the Liberty and incorporated them then named it Avenger. There's only 2 things that the Avenger has that my liberty doesn't is an easy adj reg and a reg pressure gage. They Already had the HS and on the freedom/Aspen and it would fit just fine in the liberty. They did make it so you can fit both types of scope mounts. GTA in a sense designed the avenger.

I hate autocorrect 😡

Bill are you talking about seneca magazines ? at PA ?  those were the only ones i found so far that look to be the same ....

[Dan H]

OH I JUST had a thought ....... I have not bought a .22 in like forever ,and I have 2 more brand new scopes sitting here  ....is it .22 Avenger time ?    the bonus would be it looks like the .25 Avenger that I just bought so the wife would never know !  ... I think that it is a genius idea ! !     what do you guys think ?      { HA ! HA ! like I dont know  }

[avator]

Yeah Dan.... the mags in the link are the 2 spares I bought. They are exactly like the ones that came with the gun.

I don't hear much about the plastic breech and mounting rails so it must not be an issue.  Some video somewhere talked about how easy it was for the gun frame to distort.  Maybe I'm thinking of another gun or as I said, it is a non issue because no one is talking about it.

I'm not finding it to be an issue but then again, I only have 4 mags through my gun so far.
I don't carry my gun around by the scope either.

 Let one soak in a hot car for a day and see if it is still on target

 Mine set out in the 100 F sun all day on a shooting bench and never shifted.
