    Air Venturi PCP setup for iguana problem

    I have owned an Avenger .25 since they came out. I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of the rifle out of the box. I have modded mine for more power so I use a DonnyFL Sumo moderator but you can get away with a Tanto if you choose a .22. If I were hunting Iguanas, I would use a .22 as...

    Airforce Why buy Airforce instead other PCP brands

    I have owned a TalonP for about 3 years. A .25 cal, I have added some Talon Tunes goodies to give me a better trigger and more power and I added a longer tank. I have no problem taking raccoons out to 70 yards using a MP Slug which I make myself. It will also give 3/8 inch groups at 50 yards...

    Air Venturi Avenger leak (found the leak)

    It is easy to take out the regulator. First, break the allen head screw loose in the middle of the plenum right next to the regulator. Next, drive out the cross pin with a 1/16 drift pin. Next, unscrew the regulator until it comes out. That is all there is to it. Make sure you use...

    Tuning Air Venturi Avenger upgrade/mod help

    Hi, I just found this thread and am glad I did. I have an Avenger .25 which I moded with the AR stock. I was shooting it a lot until the valve started leaking. I just got a rebuild kit from PA and am ready to take it apart. Do you know if your plenums will fit in the AR stock? The space...

    Tuning Avenger slow leak update

    I have searched but I have not found where someone has modified an available poppet for use in the Avenger. You would think there would be a market for them.

    Air Venturi Avenger Poppet Factory Upgrade (Finally)

    I just developed a slow leak in my .25 Avenger and can't find it. 10 to 1 it is the poppet which is out of stock at PA. Has anyone changed the Poppet on these? Marauders are easy to work on but this doesn't appear to be the same.

    Air Venturi Avenger Tactical Chassis

    I feel the same way about the chassis mount. Mine gets a lot of shooting from odd positions and I feel the chassis mount gives better support in all of them. I did try the front mount for a little while but it did not work for my kind of shooting. If you shoot from one fixed bench, it would...

    Hawke Airmax scope failure report

    I don't know about the TX200 but I know for sure the Slavia rifle doesn't have near the recoil of my .22 Gamo Wildcat. What kind of UTG scope are you using?

    Hawke Airmax scope failure report

    True. I just came in from shooting 30 rounds with the Red Dot on it. I'm getting better with it as long as the light is not too bright. The TRS 25 red dot isn't that bright in the lower settings and the upper settings seem to flare too much. Shooting at a 4 inch black target in the shadows...

    Hawke Airmax scope failure report

    Xactly. Although, Hawke will keep replacing it if I want to use it as is. I really like the lighter weight of the Red Dot and my 70YO eyes can still shoot minute of squirrel head or crow head so I'm going to keep using the RD for a while and see how it works.
