Most of manufactures stamp date codes on the tanks, and recommend removing from service after 7 years (this is in most owners manuals). I think longevity really depends on use, as if whether you are operating within the duty rating, storing properly, and draining after use. They make aluminum tank compressors, too, but I'd rather have steel because they rust and leak and hopefully show a noncatostrophic failure.

leave it on

I think one has a fixed stock and the other has a folding stock.

Just purchased this from a member. Great gun! Have since added a folding stock.

@bigmike, The Ranger XR comes with the folding stock, otherwise it’s the same gun. Definitely agreed that its a great little gun, mine are with me for the long run. At practical airgun distances they simply perform without doodads or fanfare. I am fortunate in that I can test mine daily in my yard from 15 to 102 yards. So am not simply waxing eloquent over the little beast, she’s been put to the test.

The Stock Belongs to a 1 of 1 Marauder that was a prize offered by another airgun forum and Crossman made the very first one of one HFT Marauder rifle with a sidelever cocking action.... Crossman had it hydro dipped as part of the 1 of 1 thing - i do not know where it was hydro dipped, but rumor has it that Crossman will soon be offering these hydro dipped stocks for sale??? I personally think the hydro dip needs a sealer or i'm expecting it to rub/wear off.
i just got lucky when the grand prize winner decided to sell it i bought it. If you haven't had Airgun-revisions do a tune on your challenger it is worth every penny. I am curious about your choice of pistol scope?

It is good to be lucky! Both guns are from Rich @Airgun-Revisions ...... Pistol scope? ;-) ... Pistol Field Target is new to me, so I repurposed my Bushnell Match Pro to practice with. I like the size of the reticle set at 12X and "modified" a UTG sidewheel to fit it.

Hello checking to see who returned their ICON and was it repaired or refund ? Thanx for your reply.

Being you are in the NE I would reach out to cape fear. He is great and I know he was working on becoming an authorized warranty center as well.

Hmmm....my security program won't allow access to that site. Bummer I know.
I guess I'll need to find another way to get there?
Thanks for the try!

there are large assorted size o-rings in metric on amazon . wish I had a better answer . also firewalkers post above

Yeah. I ordered a set. They are all too thick in material for the diameter needed. I also noted that they are BUNA N70. Ideal according to what I have read for static locations in the rifle. The spare set that came with the rifle is hard as rocks. My experience with other o ring applications tells me not to trust them. They might have sat on a shelf too long. The owner's manuals for the .22 and .25 shows a very clear breakdown of location and size. That is why my question regarding the parts for the .30 is. Are they the same size in the rifle .30 excluding the breech where the calibre comes into play? I looked at Bagnall and Kirkwood. They don't show the sizes and again exclude the .30.

You can see the parts breakdown here if you don't have a manual for the .22 and .25

Usually, when I start a new sport, I try to buy inexpensive equipment until I learn if I will "stick with it." After three days at the range, I can tell I will "stick with the rifle". I also bought a Notos, thinking I might like to try an FT pistol, but that has been less interesting.

Now my question is, is it worth it to upgrade the Avenger or move to another PCP straight away?

I could add DonnyFL 1/2 x 20 Adapter $49, DonnyFL FX Moderator $119, Vector MINOTAUR 12-60X60 GEN II MFL SFP $399, AE Swede Bottle Adapter M18 threads $89, .5L Bottle $40, AE Swede Plenum $30, Sidewheel $13, Trigger $36, adding $376 plus shipping (not including scope). Then I will have $662 into the Avenger. Not sure if its better to cut losses and switch to an Avenger X .25 ($729 with 400cc bottle) or Gauntlet SL .30 ($499)

+ additional magazines (not sure which is the best brand), + chronograph and + gun cleaning kit

I welcome any feedback!

Cheers

Two threads that I keep returning to;
@DonnieReed Avenger used for Baker Airgun Review
@SkeeterHawk Doux Technologies Plenum Upgrade for Air Venturi Avenger
@Ray_PR Avenge - X .25 cal won a bench rest competition vs all others high end airguns

I would not add any of those add ons. Leave it as is as none of them will incerase your score. I have the same scope and its just fine all the way to 100yds. The donnyfl, who cares if its loud, this will alter accuracy either good or bad, you have to try it to know. The rest ehh just wouldnt. I shoot the AvgX in .25 at 100y and its stock. I do use a Sumo on it as I found a little bit of weight out front helped my accuracy but thats it. Buy Ammo and lots of it, you have everything else you need to have a good time and do well, oh wind flags. Thats worth more than anything.

If I may, how long do you usually stay during your sessions? I use to have two dairies close by where the action was hot and heavy and it was hard to quit. Alas they are no more. I still get some rats at one of the former dairies, but rarely stay more than a couple of hours. Your situation seems like you could shoot all night… Lucky devil…

Click to expand...

I’ll usually stay 2-2 1/2 hours at a clip. You are right, I could shoot all night at this spot. But I limit myself purposely. I’ve really never seen so many rats.

oh well, just take a guess at your FPS then.......

Good luck with that...

If they are priced similar, or cheaper than JSB's offerings, you will sell a lot.
