    Umarex Accuracy VS FPS consistency (Notos and Avenger)

    I totally understand the shortfalls of CPHP. As I mentioned in this case, I tried multiple pellets (weight and manufacturer), with all having the same accuracy issues. If it had been just the CPHP that had issues, and other pellets were accurate, I would have just assumed it didn't like CPHP...

    Umarex Accuracy VS FPS consistency (Notos and Avenger)

    I did clean the barrel after the first shooting session. The parches came out dirty, not horrible but dirtier than is should be for something the doesn't burn powder. The cleaning didn't do anything for the accuracy though. I didn't disassemble it or check any further. I'll check screws now...

    Umarex Accuracy VS FPS consistency (Notos and Avenger)

    Hello! I have had an Air Venturi Avenger (Bullpup) for a while now, and have been reasonably happy with it (more below), but I recently purchased a Umarex Notos. It has some things I really like, but also seems to have an accuracy issue. Notos - I love the size and weight. Additionally, the...

    Shooting something you haven't shot is a while...

    It's good to go back and shoot something you haven't shot in a while. This is a Daisy M853 target rifle I got around 2010 from the the CMP. At the time they were selling these (used but refurbished) for $99. Its definitely $100 that I am happy I spent. It is a entry level 10m competition gun...

    Question for Avenger Owners (non-bullpup)

    Wow! My stock 10 round magazine measures ~34.5mm or 1.35". I didn't realize that the standard Avenger was that tight. You have less than 1mm to spare with the stock magazine. 😯

    Question for Avenger Owners (non-bullpup)

    Quick question for people who own standard (non-bullpup) Avengers. If you use standard scope rings, what is the distance from the bottom of the magazine slot to the bottom of your scope tube? (i.e. how tall of a magazine can you used without needing to get taller scope rings?) I wanted to be...

    Anyone got good print out targets that they can link?

    I have this issue that I can never find the ones I found previously and liked. Some time ago I found them again and made sure to save them to my computer. These are A4, but the still work for letter sized paper. As far as I can tell, the original website these were from is no longer there.

    Air Venturi Avenger bullpup exploded diagram and part numbers

    I received this from Air Venturi as part of a very slow back and forth about a regulator issue. I've seen the standard AVA part diagram here on Airgun Nation, but I didn't find this one. I figured I would pass it along in case it help someone out there.

    Air Venturi contact?

    Just an update- after a very slow back and forth (due to the length for them to respond), the agreement was that they would send me a replacement regulator (to save shipping the whole thing back and forth). I'm comfortable working on it, so I'm happy with the strategy. I got a tracking number...

    Air Venturi contact?

    Stacey is back in the office. Again, very nice, but I blame Air Venturi who left her to be a single point of failure for all of their customer support. Anyway, I got a call back and an email. Things might be moving again after over a month of mostly silence. They seem to think that all...

    Air Venturi contact?

    I noticed that the email I got from them had another phone number (the 216-220-1180 just doesn't get answered). The other number is 216-292-2570. If you try to get support, it takes you to the same recording as 216-220-1180 "Our team is currently unavailable...". I did however try the other...

    Air Venturi contact?

    Well, is was looking up but no maybe not so much. A I mentioned, they were going to contact Alamo Airgun on the 16th, and email to say that Alamo was closed but would try again the next day. After that, radio silence. No responses to emails for updates, phone again not being answered. Left a...

    Air Venturi contact?

    I call again on Friday or Saturday, and instead of just a message saying they were unavailable, I got put on an automated hold. I stayed on for about 30 min (while shooting ion my backyard :) ), and finally got through to Stacey. She was very nice. She was able to see my emails and phone...

    Air Venturi contact?

    I haven't heard anything from them yet, but I haven't had time to follow up more. I just sent an email to [email protected] and will see if I get a response. I bought the avenger new at Alamo Airguns of San Antonio, They were very nice and I was happy to support a local business...

    Experimenting with my new Avenger

    So I got around to shooting a string of 100 at the minimum setting (1/4 from stop on the regulator), which seems to be right at 1700. I wan't all that happy with the 10 shot grouping, but some of that was probably me (the prior experiment seemed to show better grouping at ~2000). I had the...

    Crosman domed pricing

    If you check the Walmart website or their app, it will tell you when they are in stock. I bought the last two from my local Walmart about two weeks ago. I just checked, and they are back in stock. :)

    Air Venturi contact?

    Has anyone been able to get ahold of Air Venturi? I recently bought a Avenger bullpup, and am seeing regulator creep and instability. When I mentioned in a post that I had reached out to Air Venturi, the first comment here was "Pretty sure reaching out to Air Venturi is an effort in...

    How many rounds of ammo do you shoot in a year?

    I've only had my first pcp for less than a month, and I am close to 1k so far. It goes fast when trying to measure full shot strings that take 115 shot.

    My under ground range

    Thank you! This makes my shooting from our master bedroom. through the master bath, and into the walk-in closet seem exceedingly tame (at least that will be my response to my wife). :D Truth though, I'm envious. Like hkshooter, I've also always wanted an "underground range attached to my...

    Experimenting with my new Avenger

    JimD: Thanks for the reply. I agree on the scope comment. I am using a 3X9 I already had, but even at 9 power and using a 10m air rifle target above, I'm pretty sure my point of aim is not consistent enough (more magnification and finer target point would probably help. I did a little more...
