Budget PCP that does it all! Air Venturi AVENGER

[@Acutus3399]

It's awesome seeing you review a "budget" pcp like the Avenger! You're absolutely right that pcps with these features at this rich point are excellent for getting people into pcp air rifles. I could buy 3 or 4 of these for the price of my Maverick! Excellent job!

[@TheHuntForDinner]

Its air rifles like this that help get people into the sport. Good for Air Venturi on getting an affordable option to those who can afford an expensive setup. The more in the sport the more it will continue to grow!

[@horscategorie]

PCP shooting is expensive to get started... Assuming you want to be safe, a used but safe carbon cylinder will run between $100 and up depending on how many years of life are left; a new cylinder is around $600+. Figure fittings, hoses etc... and a cheap chinese compressor add another 500. Before you even think about a gun, you are looking at around $1000... and to do it 'right' I say more... Hatsan, Air Venturi, Beeman, these companies have made the airgun portion much more reasonable. I still do not have a compressor, but I am a firefighter so have easy access to clean, dry air. Not everyone is as fortunate.

Wow. Airgun Depot is showing this rifle for just $349 US. That’s an incredible value for such a capable rifle. When you said half the price of a dreamline, that would be $550, and I would have expected that to be a decent price for this rifle. At $349, that’s a no-brainer. At $1,150 the Dreamline is off of most Americans’ shopping lists simply because we don’t need licenses to own firearms, and $1,000 buys a heck of a lot of rifle.

[@rokinrandy]

Exactly . Rifle and a shotgun.

[@raynfir638]

You have convinced me, buying now.jist received this rifle, and now a friend I'd buying one, absolutely love this thing, it has opened a whole new world for me....thank you for this video.

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

I should add that since making this video, I have learned that the breech is not plastic, but rather metal coated in plastic. Why anyone would coat something in plastic, I don’t know🤔 But good to know that it is solid underneath. Same thing goes for the scope rail, but I would still recommend using picatinny instead of dovetail.

[@danielcraig3181]

Can you tell us what your reg pressure was set at and your hammer spring during your testing with the slugs thank you !

[@kevinstewart7792]

Planned obsolescence no doubt... just good enough, that you still have enough brand loyalty to buy another one when it fails.... or not... just a pessimistic guess

Hammer spring maxed out, reg at 170 bar. But for slugs I would ho higher, 190 bar.

[@jakeb7244]

Matt- I used to hand pump my guns. The Hatsan at 44 had a similar size air res, 35 strokes on the pump would take it from off the reg to full in about a minute. BTW it was just as accurate as my Cricket.

[@markmtbrider]

Excellent look at the avenger. Maybe if you want to get out to 150 yards , the 25cal is the ticket . either way it looks like an excellent value for 100 yard pesting.

[@tormentorxl2732]

Its cool that your taking the time to step away from FX to help put this gun out there. I have the predecessors to this gun called the ATI Nova Vista Liberty/Alpha in .177 and in .22 and they have been flawless and incredibly accurate. yes...i have several other airguns that i have spent 2K$+ on yet they are not my favorites> I can take them, throw them on my quad bike and ride around and enjoy them like i can these guns. They are just s accurate out to 80 yards and on good days 100 yards. That said I'm happy to see you doing real world, average air gunner reviews again. Not everyone can afford 2K for an air gun and the support system required for them. Mad respect my friend. I really think it would be in all airgunners interests to keep our eye on Nova Vista brother, obviously they are airgun shooters. I can't wait to see what they come up with next truthfully. Looking forward to their version of a bull-pup. As always...we/I appreciate your blunt honesty and that's why we have the respect for you that we do. Honesty is real...people lie all the time to make a buck, you have maintained this attribute which keeps us glued to every word you say. Thank you for that, and God bless you for that.
