Avenger .22!

[bivy53]

So … I picked up a used Avenger in .22 awhile back and was pretty pleased with it. Came to me in a Terminador stock which looks great and is very lightweight. shot pretty good as it came, but I absolutely hated the Terminador ldc. Wasn’t all that effective and looked horrible. So I ordered a Buck Rail adapter and suppressor. The adapter replaces the stock baffles, stabilizes the barrel, is a very effective air stripper. The suppressor screws onto it and looks like an extension of the shroud. Some of the absolute best 3d print work I have ever seen. And it works! I tuned this to shoot 18g Barricudas at ~835fps. And it is QUIET! Bunny fart quiet. If you own an Avenger I highly recommended this setup. You won’t be disappointed.
Gun is pretty accurate with the Barricudas, so I loaded a mag with Crosman 14.3 hollow points. You know, $7 for 500 at WalMart. 935fps
frickin’ lasers! More accurate than the Barri’s. Zero at 30yds under 1/2”. 1 1/2”@100 Put a clay bird out to 140yds. Distance put it off my reticle so instead of dialing inI Kentucky windaged it. 4 rounds later … no more bird! This , again, with cheap Crosman 14.3’s in a pretty decent wind. I am completely blown away by this $300 magic wand! The two on the left were my ranging shots.

It is an amazing bang for your buck for sure! A $300-$400 PCP with an externally adjustable regulator and hammer spring is hard to beat! The fact that you got yours shooting CPHP's is a cherry on top.
Congrats! Great rifle.

Wow!!!!! I'd say you have a excellent barrel...... You better hold on that avenger and never let it go!!!!!!!

There are many rifles but this one is mine!

Probably the most underrated rifle out there for the money
The pr900w is the same super accurate but very cheap.
Just goes to show you don't need to spend a fortune.
And shooting cheap pellets like that is a bonus.
I bought a tin of snowpeak rounded pellets at the range just to dial my kral in and I was shocked how well they grouped for cheap pellets.

Both the Rifle and the Pellet are underrated. I only shoot Crossman Premier, hollow points in all of my air weapons. They all shoot fantastic groups, and the cost is bearable. Not to condemn JSBs or other manufacturers pellets. They shoot equally well in all my weapons, however, the price is right on the Crossman’s.

Up until yesterday I have been researching and agonizing over which high end gun to buy and how much I wanted to spend. Not any more. Will be ordering an Avenge X semi bull pup bottle gun as soon as they appear on the market. If I hadn’t dropped that one shot, that would’ve been sub moa at 100 The new A X comes stock with an adapter much like the one that Buck Rail makes.

I dont mind a pellet picky gun as long as it picks cphp

Yes avenge x on my list if they carry across the same capabilities as the avenger it should be spot on.
It is not cheap for good pellets in the uk
So I started swaging my own slugs it now costs me nothing but my time to make them" and saves me a fortune
Crosman pellets are good for the price I shall try some hp.

aroundlocks, apparently the AX will have the same barrel as the original but there are a ton of upgrades and changes that should really increase the tuning capabilities. They have added a power adjuster wheel so if you’re stuck at <12fpe you should have no trouble getting there. Regular or should be better as well.

My .22 Avenger bullpup likes CPHP's as well. I will say that CPHP are the only pellet I wash and lightly lube.

I had 1 of the bucktail ldc's on my liberty which uses the same barrel and shroud as the avenger,Aspen, and freedom. Unfortunately my barrel got twisted and the ldc got hit by a pellet and blown apart. I've since detuned it so it really doesn't need a LDC.

Hi bivy53
Yes avenge x is a multi tool with tube and bottle different caliber setup.
Air venturi done their homework and hopefully they dont rush the qc trying to rush it out there and spoil what looks to be a nice setup.
Not so keen on the shape of the bottle though. Lol
I should imagine it will sell out faster than a bullet.

Yeah my avenger 22 liked the crosman pellets as does my Airacuda max.
