The major pcp retailers have pushed back the andvertised availability date of the Avenge-X 6 weeks from 8-21 to 10-03. Bummer! I really think the line-up Is going to set the standard for mid-grade best bang for the buck. I think this is at least the third announced roll out date change. I‘d rather them get gen 1 right than rush out some lemons.
Air Venturi Avenge-x rollout delayed
- Thread starter Clazy
- Start date
One can only speculate as to why but big bummer for the many that await its launch, I am not one but I think its talked about enough to have a following.

It’s been pretty clear to me for awhile they are a long way off. Not one has even hit a reviewers hand yet. Heck October is probably wishful thinking.

My order still says Aug 24, although I pre-ordered the day the pre-orders opened up. I think (or maybe, I hope) that the October availability is just if you place an order today.

I believe what you're seeing in that date being pushed back is the result of the first shipment of guns being sold out.
You should start seeing these get into testers hands within the next few weeks.

FYI..
I spoke with both Pyramid Air.. Airgun Depot July 28 to add stuff to order.. (from Airgun Depot )
Both replys were the same.. On track for Mid August.. That is for those who Pre-ordered early
Both Pyramid and Air gun depot.. Were taking pre-orders for the 2nd batch delivery mid-September..
So it looks like.. To me anyway.. August order sounds like it is in track.

Random follow up question - does anybody know if the avenge-X uses the same mags as the avenger? If so, I'm curious if the probe has O-rings on it. People were saying CARM mags for the avenger chewed up the probe O-rings.

I think I heard that somewhere..
I would guess that it would be more cost efficient.. for them to ''not'' redesign anything that was not necessary..

Yes, should be around then assuming there aren't any issues on the logistics side of things

Yes, same magazines. The Avenge-X comes with a standard capacity mag (same 10 rd in .177 and .22 and 8 rd in .25) AND a high capacity mag which is 20 rds in .177, 16 in .22 and 13 in .25. This is a new magazine that will be offered separately as well.
And yes, the probe has o-rings on it.

Much appreciated. I ordered a 177 but going to convert it to 22. It doesn't look like the conversion kit comes with the high capacity mag so I was looking into high capacity aftermarket avenger mags.

Correct. To keep the price of the conversion kits as affordable as possible and make sure everything a user needs to run the gun in the new caliber is included, the standard capacity mags will be included with the kits. But the high capacity mags will be available separately.

Same mags is good news. I got a couple of the original AE Swede high cap Avenger mags a few years back and they’re still the only ones I use. Also, STKO used to sell little pieces of polyurethane tubing that replaced the o-rings on the probe. It works really well, but I don’t know if he still sells them or not.

I thought maybe I messed up on the Baker Airguns post.. When I pulled them up.. at first.. it still looked like a pre-orders..
But when I filed thru the different models..and ***calibers **** Some are listed as in stock..
So anyone who regrets not getting a pre-order in.. Here's the opportunity..

I'm curious why there hasn't even been an AEAC video or other review yet since it's supposed to ship next week. Makes me wonder 
. I got my scope, bipod, moderator, mags... just need the damn gun!

Yeah it’s going to be strange that this gun hits the streets before a single review is done. That surprises me.I'm curious why there hasn't even been an AEAC video or other review yet since it's supposed to ship next week. Makes me wonder
