I read your Instagram post. Do you think it needs a bigger plenum? For the 34 gr to maintain 910 speed?

Question for you been doing a bunch of research on this pcp . Which moderator is the quietest in .25?First impressions after a week with it are that I'm kinda surprised how much more I like it than my Avenger. It's so much more refined, solidly built, and nicer to handle & tune. In person, it looks & feels waaaay more expensive than an Avenger. It actually feels & behaves expensive as opposed to cheap if that makes sense? And the shot cycle, OMG have they refined that. Tunes out really nice & clean. Barrel band, bedding, receiver, tube, shroud, stock, cocking, tuning gear, all of it....waaay more solid than the Avenger, and is solid. Can not say that enough. Feels like a $1,000 gun to me all day long. The mags still feel like Benjamin Maximus cheapies though. The new tall one is cool. But I can't fit it under the scope. Cocking is solid but a bit dry feeling. Trigger feels dry too but is good.
Haven't messed with the caliber or bottle change yet but it looks super easy to do.
The new Donny is honestly amazing. It's a big step up in quality & feel over his previous stuff that we're all used to... and that stuff was really nice. On the X, the Yokozuna is shockingly quiet, truly. Like puff and thats it. Even my wife was like, oh wow, that gun is crazy quiet. And that was at 45 fpe, lol. I'll go on record and say its the quietest moderator I've ever sampled. I haven't been wearing hearing protection to tune and normally I do. The new twist lock feels ultra high quality and is rock solid.
Still just scratching the surface with all this stuff. Lots more to feel out and learn.

I would also like to know since I only use my airguns in my backyard and don’t want to disturb my neighborsQuestion for you been doing a bunch of research on this pcp . Which moderator is the quietest in .25?
I am not sure if you could already have read this thread. Apparently according to others airgunners this standard Huggett snipe moderator is more efficient than the vast majority of others. I just bought one to try it on my new Avenge-X classic in .25 cal too. As soon as I receive my new rifle and this moderator I will put it to the test vs my DonnyFL Sumo and FX moderators that I am already using in my others airguns.Donny FL Sumo is the most popular for reason. It's super quiet on my 25 cal Avenge X tac. I am however curious about the new ones tested here. Honestly with the Sumo I don't think it's any much difference against the ones shown here. Other than that, the new ones are just new, aesthetics a little more modern (I like eye candy too) but performance, not significant compared to the older Sumo. When it comes to some of the air rifle aftermarket accessories, I kind of compare it to "supping up" (60's - 70's term) old school hot rods. Many of which were all looks but no a$$. It easy to overpay for an accessory that is not a value as it appears.
The chrony you have is just fine. Velocity fluctuations simply come from the hammer spring setting being out of harmony with your current reg setting. In the Avenge X, the tiniest movements of the HS make all the difference between 20 ES and 10 ES... it's THAT sensitive. Also, be sure to stay on the left side of the tuning rainbow. That's just as important. Good luck.When are the best posts on any subject on any gun I've ever seen! Thank you very much. I've got a velocity fluctuation problem and I'm trying to solve that. I'll play with the hammer spring first. Maybe I better get one of those very special chronographs that you have. Right now I'm using the FX pocket chronograph
It can reach 910 and run a decent shot chart but not reliably... you'll need a 210-212 bar reg to balance things out at 910 with a 34gr. I cooked a reg staying there for a 500 shots. SteveI read your Instagram post. Do you think it needs a bigger plenum? For the 34 gr to maintain 910 speed?
Biggest & tightest to caliber is always the quietest. The gun isn't loud though until you get up around 60 fpe. The OEM system does a good job. SteveQuestion for you been doing a bunch of research on this pcp . Which moderator is the quietest in .25?

There is a lot of flip at 45-65 fpe and this is a light rifle. It will need your best hold & approach to avoid POI changes. SteveI am really curious about how well they managed the poi shifts that the avenger has. My biggest gripe about the avenger is that if I put it in my gun bag and hike out to the squirrel woods I'm gonna have to double check my zero before taking a shot. Same if I happen to bump the barrel shroud or LDC against a tree.
