Air Venturi Avenge-X .22 (ULTIMATE Resource & Owner's Guide) Review + 50 & 100 Yards Tested + Tunes

[@alawhie]

Was waiting for this (.22) 😁 Thanks so much for all of the amazing info and content that you always share with us. You make navigating the hobby so much easier for many of us💪🏼 The absolute best airgun channel on YT, bar none. Warmest Regards from the Mother City 🇿🇦

[@fritzozuna654]

I have never before seen this depth of knowledge and practice in this skill of air rifle shooting. This what I needed, before buying. I'll be watching for more.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

The Avenge-X is a $500 airgun performing at $1,500 level. I have the Avenger, even more accurate than the Aspen. And seeing $70 buys another caliber, the only thing missing is pheasant-seeking pellets. Thanx for the update.

[@LHB33]

Try the JTS , for the money pretty amazing.

[@joshuagibson2520]

​@@LHB33last I saw the JTS made a farting noise when shot. I couldn't live with that.

[@LHB33]

@@joshuagibson2520 ha, maybe you got a farty fartster. It happens. My jts isn't a fartster so I guess I lucked out. It still out shoots my avenger. I really think the avengers aren't really accurate in .177. Now my friend got an avenge x in .22 and that thing shoots lights out all day. Sorry you got a fartster but don't over look the JTS

[@filoIII]

@@LHB33 I hear JTS Cust Service is horrible.

[@Bob_Adkins]

You're my new favorite air gun reviewer. You hit on everything of interest to me when I'm shopping for a new gun, and your presentation is perfect. The little tidbits about country of origin are appreciated too. To those who watch this channel, please subscribe, it deserves 10X more subs.

[@vansantsam]

I contacted a factory that produces one of the most popular regulators and here is what they told me.. First is to find the velocity that your projectile likes the best with basically any tune.. Then for the final settings turn the hammer all the way up and adjust the regulator 15-20 fps faster than your desired velocity then back the hammer off for your velocity, from there only minor adjustments to the hammer is needed for optimal performance.. So if your gun shoots a pellet best at 890 then adjust if for 910 then back the hammer off to 890 fps..

[@paulgroth3345]

I have so missed your videos. And am delighted to see you back

[@AARRAcer]

Wow oh wow! This is definitely my next buy! This was the most comprehensive video review about this gun I’ve seen and you sold me… I have the AEA Megaladon 15”x .457 and I absolutely love it! I need a rifle for medium to long range shooting, 50 to 100 meters for target practice… and the price for what this gun is capable of is freaking ridiculously low!

[@timmy4539]

Nice to see you it's been to long ! I'll stick with my gen 1 in 25 cal ! It's pushing a JSB 33.95 at 930 ish That works out to 65 fpe and I can print a nickel size group with it at 75 yards !

[@rossm1298]

[@filoIII]

As a springer guy wanting to get a PCP, I think I want a regulated gun. I do like the ability to convert a .22 to a .177 for maybe $100 w/ this rifle. It's just the dang cost of buying all the things to recharge the bottle. 80 shots/charge sounds great, though. ty

[@vansantsam]

Look at your regulator like an unregulated gun that is always filled to max pressure at all times.. To easily set up a tune is to have a goal in mind for example shoot 18.13 grain pellet at 880 fps.. Keep adjusting your hammer spring until you are at max velocity (your target speed is 978 fps), increase the regulator and hammer until at max speed you are at 978 fps then back the hammer spring off until you reach 880 fps (10% slower than max velocity).. This will stop any blow by from the main air supply because the output valve spring does not need any air pressure to close, it can close on its own spring strength and dump 90% of the air out of your plenum and in turn will help the regulator be more accurate on refills..

[@jrhill3082]

Your 5th shots are wonky cuz your thinking of the Troll Stroll 😅 Awesome Review Steve....Thanks

[@AEAC]

Haha, yeah maybe. That #5 can get a bit shakey after the glee of the first 4 sink in, lol

[@Saad4k]

Steve thank you very much for this treasure. It has been extremely helpful for a novice like me. I have a question which has made me mad... I want to order an LDC, but couldn't figure out the threads. When I unscrew the barrel end cap, it takes out whole assembly (I mean the baffles). How to access the threads where Avenge-X Tactical can be mounted with any muzzle device..?

[@mattlydon3531]

I could NOT get my shroud to unscrew…..you made it look easy. Do I need a strap wrench? Any tips? Thanks in advance - matt

[@LHB33]

I have a JTS Airacuda. 25 and it shoots better than my avenger hands down. I do like the avenge x tactical stock. Very nice.

[@AEAC]

I like the Saber Chassis on a regular Avenge-X much better than I did the Tactical Avenge-X. It's way easier to adjust the hammer spring and install/uninstall / disassemble. Hope this helps.

[@chrisreilly4006]

Thank you so much Steve! I have been looking at the Avenge X since I heard about it coming out and I’m glad it’s performing at such a high level. Such an impressive gun. I wonder if they planned on making the barrels shoot pellets and slugs this well. I was hoping to see you use the .177 cal with slugs too! Awesome review. Awesome quality and just everything else is awesome. In the past I have purchased Airguns based off your reviews and will continue to do so! I am looking forward to watching your review on the FX King as I was considering that as well. Thank you Steve!

[@AEAC]

Sorry for passing on the .177 Chris. Winds were just to much this winter with the El Nino Jet Stream racing over central Florida all year. See ya at the King!

[@vansantsam]

Try this - final pull with a patch coated with some Thompson Center "bore butter" on the patch - good for storing you gun but also fills in pores as you shoot it out..

[@saidal4222]

Excellent review, as expected. I was wondering if changing the calibers would also require changing to a heavier hammer spring for the bigger caliber like .25? I asked my dealer and he told me .25 isnt available in the avenge x, only .22 which can be converted using a barrel kit. Which is funny cuz the liberty and avenger both came in a separate .25 version. I personally would love to get a .25 but they aren't available here so should i just go for the .22, i also saw some reviews where they said the .22 version cant be tuned to a very high preset to shoot something like the .25 33grains even if you do get a barrel conversion kit

[@caf3110]

Hi Steve, Ive recently found your channel and love watching what you can do. I was wondering if you would consider doing a video for us over here in the UK that are legally limited to below 12 ftlbs?

Hello Steve, I have an Avenge x .22 and I want to use it in bench rest competitions at 25 meters, between jsb 18.13 and 25.39, which one do you recommend?

[@CD-hc5ds]

I bought the Hatsan flashpup sometime back after watching one of your video reviews. Any changes on a Huben gk1 video???

[@Jeeper1378]

Yea so i went and reset my reg, was at 1500 after filling. Brought it up to 1750-1800 to start. HS at + 1 essentially your 18 gr 870 tune. Mine came in at 772 FPS. I understand tunes typically dont match up from the internet but thats 100 fps difference from yours. I settled at +3 which brought it to about 840. I then brought the reg up a smidge more and first shot 835, 2nd 837, i then went to +4 on the HS which brought it to 855 ish with the 18’s. Before messing with it i was running the 22 grain at 800, 18 grain 900 fps and thatswith 5 1/2 turns on the HS, 150 bar ish on the reg. This gun has gun seems to run about 100 fps shy of everyone else and why i can not reach 50/60 FPS with the 22/25 cal.

[@Jeeper1378]

Back to original tune.. lives at 898 .. literally had a es of 5 over 55 shots. Reg is at 160 bar. HS +5. 18 grain JTS 900. 22 grain JTS 800 fps.

[@Jeeper1378]

Stripped the gun down to see if anything was off. Only thing i found was the 2 transfer port H/L o-rings were dry. Nothing else looked bad. After putting it all back together and cleaning the barrel. Best i could do was (870 tune w 18 grain JSB’s) 2000 reg, 4 3/4 HS. 70 shots on reg with a 16 ES. Only thing i could come up with is AV’s replacement hammer springs are lighter .. only thing that makes any sense.. to me at least. But still besides the HS adjustment difference, theres a 30 shot difference. About to send it off to Alien Airguns and have him turn it into a beast haha.

[@Jeeper1378]

For anyone reading this, it was the gun. After breaking a 3rd hammer spring i bought a new gun. Set to 1750 reg on new gun, with JSB 18’s it shot over 900 fps at +1 on the HS. +1/2 brought it down to 875 ish. 1900 reg .. i am now running the new JSB 21’s at 860 fps with +2 on HS. This gun is significantly more powerful than the 1st. Still not sure why it’s underpowered. After lubing up all o-rings and replacing the broken cocking cylinder o-ring, molly grease on the hammer and installing new HS. It did gain a little power. Still needed a little more reg and HS to get the 18’s to 870 (2k/+2)

[@Jeeper1378]

Final update, the gun had a bad peek poppet - shaft seal (oring) bad. It was losing air into the hammer chamber (only when fired) Replaced it and it went from 750 FPS TO 850 fps. Reg set at 1750 HS + 1/2 slings a 21 grain pellet at 860. Just like my new gun im probably going to be at 0 running 18’s …. Its actually got a tad more power than my new one now haha

[@eliovful]

Buenas tardes lo probaste con slug ?

[@rrobb7]

First of all thank you for the guide!!! QUESTION: Why do you think you need more reg pressure compared to the 25 cal to push same 25grain pellets at same speed? In other words, .25 cal push the same 25 grain pellet at lower reg pressure, what is your opinion on that?

[@AEAC]

My pleasure! Couldn't say. Maybe the tunes were different? Reg pressure isn't always directly corelated to velocity. Steve

[@Jeeper1378]

The barrel transfer port is smaller on the 22.

[@preyingmathis2517]

Is there a reason why you shoot the heavier pellets at such a higher velocity than the lighter ones?

[@matthewrezuke8130]

Light pellets traveling too fast loose stability quick. Leading to wild inaccuracy at long range. Little more forgiving with heavier pellets traveling fast.

[@Jeeper1378]

How and the heck did he get over 100 shots on the 210 cyl .. below the reg set and maintain a 16 FPS spread (870 18.1 tune) ? Set the same i got 18 ES, 866 average FPS, about 75 shots .. as soon as i was at my 1800 reg set, it started shooting around 850 FPS. Or am i missing something? Haha

[@saadmagnum936]

Why the avenge x does not have crowned barrel?

[@Jeeper1378]

Very curious what he gets for max power with the 22 . Most I could get was 43 FPE.

Can you add a bigger bottle?

[@shermdog6969]

Now its between this or the jsb airacuda.

[@Jeeper1378]

Question, with both the 22 and 25 cal i come short of the max FPE by 10. 22 = 40 FPE and 25 = 50 FPE. Thats using the 25 grain JSB’s with the 22 and 34 grain JSB’s with the 25. I have the reg at 210 and HS about maxed with the 25. 25 shots with the 210 cylinder, ES 12. A lot more to go to get 60 fpe or about 70 fps.

[@AEAC]

Often, it's not always about maxing everything out to get the most out of the gun. Please see one of my 2 Ultimate Tuning Guide videos for how to achieve the best results. If you already have and are confident you've got the gun dialed in, I would say replace your barrel and bolt probe o-rings. Also, ambient temperature makes a big difference. The warmer it is, the faster it goes, lol. Steve

[@Jeeper1378]

@@AEAC i started with the HS around +3, Not by much but the FPS was still increasing up around +8. Seemed happy at around +6 but obviously no where close to 60 fpe. Honestly i dont want to run it at that even if i did get there. Im more than happy slinging 18’s in 22, 25’s in 25. Just want to see if i can get there. I have changed the o-rings, whole prob on the 22 because it jammed up and i bent it to shit haha. With that said, i just found the o-ring delete sleeve that replaces the o-rings with a solid plastic (or whatever it is) material. I also have a Fx panthera compact in 22.. i have it slinging JTS 21 grain pellets at around 870. If not the 21’s i tone it down and run the 18’s. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@alawhie]

This would certainly be nice to see. I had the opportunity to try both and both are great value. I eventually settled on the Avenge-x. I think it'll come down to what your preferences are. If you're a tinkerer that values lots of adjustability (on the fly), like myself, the Avenge-X will be your speed 🙂 If not, the Airacuda Max will not disappoint. It seemed to be more accurate out of the box from what I could gather. This is also quite subjective, but I think the Airacuda Max wins in the 'looks' department as well. That is not to say that the Avenge-X models do not look good... It just doesn't look and feel quite as premium as the Max. Either way, both are great choices
