Hey fellow air gunners! We are putting together a budget gun battle for you. There are so many awesome air rifles these days that we figured we would put together a video of three popular budget offerings and run them head to head. We chose the Lord's caliber, .22 for all three rifles. They all perform extremely well and the results might surprise you!

Of the three rifles we tested which one do YOU think will come out on top? Comment below...

Zelos It's light, great trigger and easy to adjust, well built, easy to repair and accurate. They really should bring out the bottle version here. The M60B is shorter with the same length barrel.

Avenge's do shoot well but the action isn't S high quality as the Gauntlet or Zelos.

Gauntlets are good but heavy. They're based on the QB78/79 (which are based on the Crosman 160) which is a tried and true platform and you can get lots of parts easily for them.
 
As a beginner in air riffles I would be curious as the reasons why yall would pick a certain riffle.
Hello Hopper I was new to this Nation not long ago , but I think I can answer your question about that certain rifle. The Guantlet is bad ass ("I have one on the way") with the 28. 25" barrel , and the 4,500 psi fill pressure , but the regulator is not adjustable , and set at different amounts for whichever caliber you choose. This leaves you with one pellet option for that (Sweet accurate Speed) With the
.22 caliber they are testing that is a 25.4 grain shoots about 890 fps.
So that puts it #3. The Avenge x , and the Zelos both have an adjustable regulator for various tunes for a wide range of ammo
( Slugs , and Pellets.) The Avenge x is great , but does not mod easily putting it at #2. The Zelos is awesome you can put a bottle on it with a simple mod for many more shots a few are 500cc , 580cc , and the 700 cc. The Zelos also has a 26" barrel that preforms well , but can also be upgraded to a FX barrel liner in 500mm , 600 mm , or 700 mm a simple mod as well. Clearly a easy win for the Zelos.

Compact and lightweight…BUT I’m not sure I’d put it in the “budget” category…I just recently purchased an Avenger Bullpup but would have opted for the Zelos if there weren’t a $200 price difference…as it is, the Avenger fills my “NEED” for a pest gun, but is fat and heavy… it will be going down the road when I can afford my “WANT” gun…which would be a Dreamline lite.

Since you have one on the way, please do yourself a favor go to hajimotoproductions.com and buy his two stage trigger. This will be the best $130 you spend on an aftermarket trigger for an airrifle.
