Page 3 - Air Venturi Avenger Reviews

The Avenger is a tack driver and an incredible value for the price.

I've ordered two refurbished Avengers, one in 177 and the other in 22. The 177 is perfect so far. The 22 is pretty scratched-up and is missing the single shot tray, extra o-rings, and the manual. I contacted support and they said that it is normal to have parts missing with the refurbished guns.

Light weight, very adjustable/tunable, good shot count, inexpensive, regulated, etc., etc. This is my second Avenger in .22. My other is .25. The .25 has a bit more power than I need and I was not happy with the low power tunes for the .25. Therefore I also got the .22. I have it tuned to around 29 fpe with several accurate pellet options. I think that I could tune down to 20 fpe and still keep the desired accuracy, should the need arise like shooting inside a barn. The .22 is very good for close range pesting up to 40 yards or so. My short term plans for mods are an additional barrel band and an improved trigger. Total additional cost about $45.

A little better quality. Shroud could be more rigid (fixable), better trigger (also fixable)

Right out of the box, it's a very good gun. It's accurate and has good power and shot count. It is not as refined as, say, an FX or RAW but it costs way less than $1000 than either and many other high end guns. Unless you are or intend to be in serious competition, the Avenger should satisfy the needs of almost any shooter. Is it perfect? NO! But neither are the many $2000 guns - their just closer to the ideal. I think the .22 Avenger is just great for pesting. If you will hunt medium size game like woodchucks or racoons, the .25 might be a better option as you can tune to +50 fpe as opposed to about 36 fpe for the .22. For the price you can't go wrong

Accuracy zeroed at 50 yds. 3/4 inch groups with JSB 25.39 grain pellets. Plenty of power for rodents. Very smooth operation. easy to shoot very comfortable in your hands. I waited a long time to make this purchase, read a lot and watched many videos before I made up my mind and did it. Why did I wait so long???

Nothing, awesome gun at this price!

I adjusted the regulator a bit higher 2400 psi and the hammer spring and got 954 fps. at 25 yards it is shooting single hole in hole mags. with 51 foot pounds of energy. Put a DonnyFL Koi moderator on it, love this gun.

My .25 Avenger represent my 25th air rifle in my collection of air guns, which represent an assortment of brake action, CO2, and PCP designs. The avenger is unique among my air rifles, as it has a number of highly desirable features that are not found on other rifles at any cost . First, it is fully regulated with a pressure of 4250 psi. Most PCP air rifles are limited to 3000 psi. Of most important is the smooth side lever action of the avenger series. This is in stark contrast to the bulky bolt action rifles that I have obtained. In addition to the .25 caliber Avenger, I also have the .22 Avenger and the Bullpup Avenger

Change the plastic magazine to a metal design similar to what is on the JTS, DAR, and Walther Reign air rifles. Add longer railings on the Avenger and Bullpup air rifles. The avengers have all been filled out with low profile green lasers and 3x9x40 scopes. In order to properly place a scope on the avengers, a rail extension had to be added. The higher elevated scope, therefore would not initially line up with the green laser. For precise target, shooting, a laser measurement probe is used to monitor the distance. At the 15 yard target, for example, a 1.5 mm shim is required on the rear scope mount to align the scope,

The new design of the side lever action PCP air rifles have made the bolt action designs obsolete!

+One of the cheapest regulated airguns, available in 3 calibers! (.177, .22, and .25!) + Perfect weight, a little on the light side but makes using this thing for hours non-exhausting with enough weight to hold stably. +Comes with TWO mags +Handle cocking mechanism, while weird is surprisingly nice to use.

-No iron sighs. Needs iron sights. Very hard to aim out of box. Needing a scope, essentially brings up the price. -Mag kinda blocks ability to aim without scope. Not a huge issue, however. -Very hard to hand pump. Once you get to 2,500 PSI the workout goes to hard mode. This is due to the larger tank than most so more of a benefit. -Stock is polymer plastic and feels a bit cheap. This makes it light so again not a huge issue. Only time will tell if this is really a bad thing.

A great airgun with an obvious intention of being a long range gun. Not too beginner friendly for being so affordable but still a great gun to those who want a more serious airgun. 100% recommended!

If you are on the fence about jumping into precharged pneumatic air rifles; just add one of these to your cart and be confident that you made the right choice. Same reasoning if you are thinking about trying your first regulated pcp air rifle. Tack driver out of the box for me.

Because I am an incessant tinkerer, I would have liked a little more adjustment range on the low end; down to 15 ft-lbs with a flat velocity curve would be ideal.

Buy 13.43 JSB Monster Redesigns and watch the pellets stack on top of one another.

As with all new air rifles, clean your barrel. Ballistol, the right size patch worm, and appropriate patches is all you need.

The excellent Air Venturi/Pyramid refurbished value. This 22 is a tack driver, quiet enough, incredibly light, lots of shots per fill. This rifle has impressed me so much I've ordered 2 more refurbished Avengers. A .177 synthetic stock and a .25 with wood stock. Thank you folks.

Internally cast some lateral bracing in the plastic stock to minimize the creaking.

These rifles are the best value in pcp air gunning available today in my opinion. The refurbished price makes them an irresistible value.

Accuracy, side lever action, very easy to adjust, dual gauges, feel.

For this price, not a single thing!

This is an all around great gun. I mounted a UTG Bug Buster 3 on mine and it is a great combination. I consistently hit almost dead center on my targets from 30 yards away and the grouping is always 1/2" or less. That is shooting from a standing position with one arm propped. This gun is just an excellent value. I have 2-Origin.22's, a Gauntlet .25 and3 break barrel .22's. This is my favorite to shoot. I have my targets on 2- 1/2"inch pieces of plywood propped up against a 15 year old nightstand and the H & N Barracuda hunter extremes will go through everything including the nightstand. I get the same results from FX Hybrid slugs 26gr and Rifle 34.87gr hollow points.

Lot of features and quality for the price. As I have aged, I have migrated from more power to less weight. I love this much utility in such a light weight airgun

Simpler design. The design is very complex. This is the first gun that I won't consider working on myself - I have 9 other airguns and none have remained bone stock.

Tuning is very easy. Both hammer spring and regulator are externally adjustable. You do not have to fill to the max of 4350 if your equipment doesn't go that high. I usually fill mine to 3000 psi and still get 30+ full power shots(tuned for 46fpe about 875fps). I don't know about long range accuracy, but out to about 45 yards mine is getting sub MOA -- only with JSB or AA 25.39gr. Tried a bunch of others trying to save a buck with no luck. For backyard plinking most any pellets will be "good enough".

Nice gun for the cost compared to other PCP prices . The rifle is quite accurate when the regulator is maintaining a regulated pressure. Overall I really like the rifle.

Resolve regulator creep issue. This issue doesn't seem to be fixable. The rifle needs to fired several times to remove the pressure creep and for the regulator to start functioning, If the rifle didn't have this issue it would be a 5 star rating.

It's has all.the power you need. Easy to shoot

Should come with a scope

From beginners to pro s. PYRAMYD Air knows it all. Just asked em. The whole Pyramyd Air team has your family cover. They work hard to fill your needs or wants. And they shipped super fast. No time to waste let's go shooting.

Lightweight, highly tuneable, highly accurate, trigger was great right out of the box. The custom Cerakote option is awesome and well worth it! After putting a scope on it and a little bit of tuning, I'm having a hard time putting it down! So fun!!

Not a thing!

This is a great gun at a great price but the ability to make it your own with the Cerakote is worth every penny! I absolutely love the way mine came out!!

Definitely one of the best air guns I’ve ever owned in my life. This is my very first PCP air rifle and absolutely love it. The customer service is absolutely amazing. These guys will take care of any issues. There’s nothing bad to say great job guys.

I would definitely change the stock. It’s too squeaky, crunchy you need something a little firmer definitely in the Woodstock would’ve been a better choice.

This is my 1st Avenger. 22 cal refurbished. Arrived in new condition. I put a Bug Buster on it and went shooting. This is the easiest rifle to shoot I've ever owned, air or powder. I have difficulty making a bad shot with it! It's light, adjustable, accurate, and sips the air. Filled to 3200psi, reg at 3000 (factory setting?), hammer spring mid way, 40 shots with no discernible changes in poi at 120ft. Tank gauge at the bottom of the green when done. These rifles don't look racy. The stock is hollow and creaks, but. Don't judge this book by it's cover. These are seriously good rifles for any price.

Internal bracing in the stock would add a little weight, but would improve the feel.

A must have for every hpa shooter.

This is an excellent value in a refurbished rifle. It is in brand new condition. Many new pcp's get returned due to an inability to initially hold air via hand pump. It takes a shot of air, think of seating a tire bead, to close the air valve. My suspicion, this is one of those returns. I would hesitate buying a refurbished gun from anywhere else. Pyramid has excellent customer service in my experience.

? The weather?

Shoot every day, whether you feel like it or not. Shoot at night. Shoot without sights. Practice quick draw. Be a kid. Just don't put your eye out.

It’s a perfect gun everything works flawlessly and smoothly nothing jams and it’s very precise.

I wish the picatinny rail was made of metal.

My first pcp gun is accurate and hits hard pretty quiet very little to no recoil such as a spring piston gun I like the magazine option also the side lever is also a plus I didn't any adjustments yet I've only shot about 50 rounds through it so far definitely will try it in squirrel season did quite well on some grackles

I would I have bought the wood stock version had I seen not a big fan of synthetic stock thus one is pretty lightweight fits well though

I bought an air compressor to use with didn't think the handpump was much of an option with this gun and tanks cost as about as much as the compressors

Price is irresistible. Incredibly good rifle. Pyramid has alot of experience with this rifle. I have confidence in Pyramid and Air Venturi, enough to buy a refurbished rifle. I haven't received it yet hence the no accuracy rating.

My mind on caliber when I first ordered, canceled, reordered. Pyramid took it in stride.

Read the 7 articles in the "review article latest buzz" link on the product page. Be warned, you will most likely buy one if you don't already own one.

The rifle is accurate right out of the box. There is no hype with this rifle. Every good thing you heard is true. Tunable, side lever cocking,good trigger,affordable price.

Only problem I have is filling it up. My DonnyFL suppressor has to be removed before filling it. Also adding a adjustable cheek riser would be nice or put it on an AR platform that would be so cool. It would be like an affordable FX IMPACT or RAW chassis.

I watched alot of U tube to get reviews on rifles and have found that when ever the host thanks some sponsors it's a bias review.
I prefer guys who spend their own money and truly give an honest review. But this gun IS the real deal. It is like an affordable FX.
