[Sky King]

Can the Avenge-X shoot slugs?
HECK YES !
I have the Avenge-X in .177
With reg at 2000 I achieved 3/8" to 1/2" groups at 50 yards with:
Knockouts 4.52 13.4g at 900 to 930fps
Zan 13g at 921fps
Griffin 14g at 907fps
H&N Slug HP 13g at 923fps

10.grains ?

 

[Sky King]

I didn’t test 10 grains.

how are you liking your 177? ive been wanting to get one to play with, no real use case. I have the 25 now and a 22 on the way.

 

[Sky King]

I love the .177 as well as the 2 other calibers in Avenge-X. The .177 is accurate and I really use that to improve my shooting skills as the pellets are less expensive than .22, .25 and .30 and .177 is quieter, although I use a moderator on them all. Donny FL or Buck-Rail. I love the fact that the Avenge-X is so modular.

what is the reg set at? I'm assuming 2000 is typo

 

[Chief Ten-Beers]

Sounds about right. The .22 comes from the factory mid 2000's.

 

[Sky King]

Not a typo. Reg at 2000 psi on Avenge-X .177

I think you just helped me make up my mind. I had the Avenge X bullpup on my list for .177 and if it's shooting slugs that well can't beat the price compared to others on my list. Have you shot the Avenge X in bullpup configuration?

Yes I have although I ended up with a Saber Tactical Chassis on it. But have a look at Stoeger XM1 Ranger or Scout. Can you believe regulated, external hammer adjustment, adjustable LOP and Comb, 5 year replacement not repair warranty and $349! I say again, extremely accurate at 50m and very reliable. Pyramyd Air has them and Pyramyd Air give a 30 say satisfaction guarantee on everything they sell. (except stuff like pellets), although them have replaced JSB pellets for me when the majority of the tin has damaged skirts.

35 to start and then 50 as I see how they shoot.

 

[Sky King]

I'm not going to try to give you a lesson in slugs versus pellets because I assume that you already know that. But at those distances, pellets would give you superb results and pellets are much cheaper than slugs. But if you look at the thread, you'll see where I tested knockouts in my 177 avenge x.
