My buddy went to an auction and picked up three pcp airguns. A Streamline in .25, a Cometa Lynx in .177 and an Avenger .22. After shooting the absolutely awesome Streamline, we moved to the Avenger. The rifle had some sort of coffee can size 3D printed moderator made in Taiwan, which looked funny but worked just fine, and the trigger was horrid. Soooo, I took it apart and removed all the screws and springs in the trigger, which are not needed, and added some adjustment screws. After the trigger work, it turned out far better than expected at around 8 oz and crisp as you could image. So, now it was time to do some shooting. I started at 25 yards and couldn't see where it was hitting on the paper, until I noticed a hole just inside the edge of the black bullseye. When I walked out to check it out, I found, I had just put about seven shots in a single hole! Holy cow!, I wasn't even trying that hard, I was just trying to sight it in. So, on out to 30 meters, and sure enough, one hole groups. Different ammo produced almost the same results. I was astonished. We get the chrony out and 8.44gr JSB clocked in at 946 fps avg. I turned the hammer spring down just a tad, moved to 50 yards and dime sized groups at 900 fps with the same JSB pellets. This thing is an incredible shooter for sure. I had no idea the Avenger was so good of a gun. It seems this thing shoots good no matter what you adjust on it. I even tried Crosman CPHP pellets and they grouped in one ragged hole at 30M.
The Avenger is pretty well balanced, right weight and well made.
For ~$350, how in the world could you ever beat this rifle for performance? I thought the Notos was the best value in airguns today, but this beats it handily.
