I'm tempted to put the scope from my Liberty on my Avenger, it's a much nicer tactical UTG with a 30mm tube.
Right now it's got an old UTG scope on it that I bought at an airgun show for $20.

Wayne..
Here is what I have on mine.... love this scope.

The gauge I have on the compressor now came with a Chinese hand pump. It's a large oil filled gauge that I had on my SCUBA fill whip and has always been spot on.

Tracking says I have 4 tins of Benji pellets and 2 mags due to be delivered today.

Guys, I'm really trying to find the time to get a good Chrono string posted. I apologize for the delays.

Bill I've got the 4-16X about like yours on my Liberty. I was thinking about getting another one of the Rex Scopes for it from FDAR like I have on my Sentry 705-9 but he's out of them.
I think rather than robbing the scope from the Liberty to put on the Avenger I'll wait till I get another scope just for it.

Wayne.... if you haven't already, check out some of the Discovery scopes from Wes in Canada.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #104 on:** September 24, 2020, 03:43:30 PM »

Bill I might order one of these tomorrow plus I'll get the free shipping and 25% off with the AGNATION code, I see they're on sale right now and the code might not work but I would still get free shipping.
I haven't had a FFP scope before and it could be interesting, it is a 1 inch tube but that means I could just drop it right into the scope mounts that are already on the gun.

That scope is actually on clearance in a lot of Walmart locations right now for only $25. There's only one Walmart in my area that marked it down and it's no longer in stock. Your mileage may vary, worth checking out at least...

Looks like its been tasted to the max ... another walmart review ...

I have 3 of these. 2 reside on muzzleloaders, and the 3rd on a .308. All maintain zero. Absolute zero. Want to check a rifle for accuracy? Remove whatever optic is mounted on it, and replace with this one. Fire for affect. The first 2 mentioned earlier had been on multiple rifles, including. 458 socom ar, and .308 sr25. for load development. 7 mag and 300 wsm. Zero poi shift. The ultimate is my 10ml2 muzzleloader wich uses rifle powder. 600fps faster than a standard 100 grn charge behind a 300 grn bullet. So imagine the recoil. Offer me any scope out there and this one. I'll grab this one every time. High magnification does limit light transmission, as do they all. Clarity, and edge to edge are sharp. Tracking is spot on. Parallax is spot on. $100 is ridiculously spot on. Their older packaging boasted of recoil testing to .416 rigby...evidently still is. I use Warne rings, and steel bases on all my stuff...just an fyi Don't change a thing Centerpoint, bravo!

Here's the last 5 shot group that I did with my avenger at one of my pinup targets. I sure do like these little pinups they're sure handy to carry with me when I'm out in the woods.
I'll probably do a five shot group with my Benjamin Cayden at 50yds today.

I was resting on a big downfall for shooting this group.

I was using my Cast 26 grain NOE meplat pellets.

Wayne.. is that off hand or are you using whatever you can find for a rest?

I was resting on a down fall, it's the same downfall that I used the last time I was in the deep woods. Today I got a .530 group with my Benjiman Cayden @ 50, it's an amazing group for me.

Crosman wouldn't do the AGNATION promo for that scope cause it was on sale, I'm better off ordering on Ebay if I get one.

Wayne, if it’s the Centerpoint 4-12x44 FFP model for $90 bucks, I got one and am very happy with it. Won’t quite parallax focus down to 10 yards, but any further out is no problem at all.

Ed24 · « **Reply #114 on:** September 25, 2020, 09:57:59 PM »

This is the group I got a few min ago. 6 shots at 50yards with the NSA 20.2gr 218. I have the reg at 2800 and the hammer is 4-3/4 turns in. Running between the 850-860fps in .22 I've been running the Discovery scopes and there pretty good for the price.

I ordered one on ebay Charlie !!! much cheaper than what Crosman wanted and it's brand new.

I anticipate increased usage of my Vevor compressor as my PCP collection grows... especially with this Avenger. I had been cooling my compressor with a 1 gallon Folgers coffee container and the water pump that came with the compressor. Filling guns only brought max temps to the 125f - 135f range.
I decided to up the cooling. I have a 5 gallon bucket with a lid that I had used with the larger twin cylinder MrodAir MKII compressor. It came with a much higher volume water pump. I made the switch this morning. This afternoon, after work, I plan an oil change on the compressor as well.
I also plan to record and report some shot string data.

Great diary of your journey with the Avenger. It definitely sounds like a great PCP value!

Thanks for all this testing.

Archie

avator · « **Reply #119 on:** September 26, 2020, 10:16:32 AM »

NP Archie... I'm real happy with it so far. Albeit, I don't have a lot of mileage on it yet.... maybe 150 or so rounds. Time will tell.
Like I said, I've turned the reg down to 2100 and the hammer spring all the way out. I have a total of 6 mags now. The ultimate plan is to adjust so I get as close as I can to a 6 mag per 4k fill just before it falls off the reg.
I have yet to even look at the trigger adjustment. From what I've felt, I think all I may want to do is shorten the first stage pull length just a bit.... maybe 1/8 inch or so. It's not really an issue because I can definitely feel the stop before the 'snap'. Nice clean, smooth break of the release. Not even something that distracts my mind from the target and POA. And if it's like any other gun I've ever bought new, it will only get better with usage.
