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

Wonder where the shaving came from. Being brass maybe just swarf from machining.

I figure it came from the brass part the the valve stem rides in, you know how the Chinese aren't too concerned about quality control and more than likely it was never cleaned good after the machining.  I remember the DAR's having brass shavings all around their regulator so maybe it's possible it came from the regulator

ok i am not up to par on the hammer spring seting i am a green horn on tuning in one video he turned allen wrench clock wise tile it stoped did not over tight then he backed it off 2 full rowtations do i just go counter clock wise till it stops ?


Yes exactly.

[Wayne52]

I just went to their website and they're supposed to have them in stock right now.  They really are great guns but I've found that they have the typical faults like all the Chinese airguns do, they are terrible on quality control as usual.  R & L has them right now with free shipping in all three calibers from what I see.

Oh wow ! you are right Randy called ,and left me a message that my .22 is in , I will have to load my secret account and get him some $$ early in the morning ...

[Wayne52]

Dan the thing that I really like about Randy is he's a straight shooter when it comes to his airgun business, when a person orders something from him he ships it period.  Ain't no him haw hee hawing around like other fake news dealers.  There's other dealers like Flying Dragon Airguns, Mike Melick is about as good a dealer as there is plus he will tune to your spec's after you have a talk on the phone with him.  He even has answered his phone for me before before business hours and the first thing I said was sorry for bothering you before business hours, his reply was something like not a problem, that he was in full speed forward anyway, he's a very busy man.

[avator]

I agree, lots of dealers could take a lesson from these guys. Rick at Precision Pellet is another good guy to deal with.

I recently put the newer Centerpoint 3-12X x44MM with the 30mm tube and boy is that a nice scope, I never realized that the newer Centerpoint scopes were so nice, very clear optics with a crystal clear etched glass retical.  It was shipped here from an Ebay dealer and cost me a total of 90 bucks, they're a bargain scope for a bargain gun that really go together nicely.  I even check the distances on the side parallax and of all the scopes that I have this one is the very closest, seems like all my UTG's are way off, my BSA's not so much but the Centerpoint is the closest of them all, a very nice scope and now I see what Rehm (Shooter 1721) is talking about.

I just ordered the .25 Avenger Air Venturi Avenger from RL Airgun Supply.  Randy's website showed he still had it in stock.  Anyone know if he does indeed have it in stock and if yes, the approximate shipping times?

I left phone messages today but no reply yet.  I am wondering if others read this post and he is swamped with new orders...

I considered getting an avenger but I'm worried about the poppet and not knowing how to replace it.

[Dan H]

I talked to Randy today at RL  ...I ordered payed for the .22 that I was on his waiting list for , plus some extra mags   , and I ask him how many Avengers he had left out of 42 he said he just had a couple or so left as of today at around 11 am  .....  Randy ships out pretty fast my last purchase from  him was the .25 Avenger , and it took about 4-5 days from CO  to  WA ....

[Wayne52]

I just checked Randy's site again and it appears that he's still got all three calibers yet, these guns really are a bargain no doubt.  I'll be out in the morning with mine for sure.

Wayne, is this the scope? https://www.walmart.com/ip/CenterPoint-3-12x44mm-Rifle-Scope-30mm-tube-with-Precision-Lock-Turrets-Black-LR312SFT2/578419421

Ordered a .22 Avenger & four extra mags from Randy @ RL Airguns this morning and he doesn't mess around - UPS is supposed to deliver it this Saturday! What do you guys recommend new owners check before shooting - I thought I had read something about some screws weren't tight or something like that?

[OTmachine]

Do not tighten the set screws that hold the barrel band in place.  Dan H recommended putting shims between the set screws and the shroud / upper air tube after smoothing the ends of the set screws.  Keeps them from damaging the air tube.

[Dan H]

The CP scope 3x12x44  is the 1 from walmart I bought that is on my Avenger .25 with locking turrets ... its just like Rick shooter 1721 said its the perfect scope for the Avenger , and I would say a lot of other guns ,and for the money it can't be beat  .... shims for the barrel band I made out of  old JSB .25  tin ....the metal off those tins is the perfect thickness bend to match the air tube loosen the barrel band up , don't worry about reshaping the ends of the screws they have a wedge pointed shape that the sides of that point will wedge against the shims instead of the shroud / air tube ...

Also make sure the pic rail hex screws are tight plus those barrel band screws so your POI does not shift all over the place , when I first started shooting my Avenger I figured out that those  screws were loose after having POI changing ... but just get um snug don't over torque them ...

Yes it's what I bought, I really like it too.  I never really thought much of the Centerpoint scopes, I seen where Rick Rehm spoke highly of them is really what convinced me they were a good scope and he wasn't wrong.

Thanks - I'd grab one and give it a try but I have a BSA 4-14X44 FFP with 30mm tube coming off my Fortitude & going on the Avenger. It's a real nice clear scope for the $120 I paid on closeout @ Midway USA - wish the turrets locked, though.

[Wayne52]

David I have BSA tactical scopes on my Airmax Dominator and my Benjamin Cayden both.  They're both excellent scopes but I honestly think that this new CP has clearer glass and it gathers light really good.
It would be a tossup between the two, I can say that the CP parallax is much closer to what it's marked to be than the BSA's though.  The Centerpoint also focus's much closer than the BSA's too.

[Oldman]

You can get the CP directly from Crosman website with 25% discount using AGNATION coupon and free shipping on Fridays!

[Dan H]

Its cheaper to buy the scope off walmart on line ,or off their shelf 104 bucks , or ebay than crosman at 145.99 even with discount ,and free shipping ... another thing I noticed about this scope it has a wider field of view than other scopes I have , The Avenger with this scope is now the best deal going loaded with all the feature of both the gun ,and scope ...
