I guess the next question is, what do you consider quiet? I have an Avenger, .22 that's tuned down to 26 or so FPE and it's over 110db. I guarantee you, if I was using that one, the hogs would hear it a long way off. Muzzling it with a small moderator knocks the sound down to sub-90db which...

Crosman 1701P runs about 6FPE out of the box. It is considered a 10 meter gun. Any 10 meter gun will probably do the trick, but they ain't cheap. Oh, and the 1701P is incredibly accurate. Good luck.

I think you are looking for the Unicorn Gun. Out of the box 100FPE guns are only recently available and they are high-end guns like an Impact, panthera or Dynamic typically costing $2000 plus, finding one for $700 is a tall order. Tuned to 57FPE, I suspect your Gauntlet is loud, so the ground...

Most paintball tanks have an 800 PSI or lower valve. Your MKII uses at least 1800 PSI plus depending where you have the regulator set. I know of one valve for paintball tanks that outputs 3000 PSI (200 Bar), it's gold...

Tom helped me through a bunch of mods to my Marauder a few years ago. Added a Regulator, upgraded hammer, springs, and transfer port. Shoots like a dream now, 50 shots per fill, very consistent. It's an older platform, but because of the age, lots of fans and upgrades available.

It depends on what you want. I'm not a PRS shooter so I'll probably wait for a descendent of the Panthera before buying another gun. If it fits your needs, fantastic, not so for me, just yet.....

Had some problems with a refurbed Avenger, PA took care of me and got me the repair parts. Many thanks for the help and service.

Crowning really helped, but not enough. Groups at 15 yards are 2 to 3 inches, so no accuracy with anything. Only way I can get a new barrel is to send it in for service, pay $60 per hour and pay for a new barrel. Shipping combined with the costs of service mean the gun is trash, so I'll just...

I bought an Avenger from PA, refurb. Life happened and didn't get around to shooting it for some time. I find it shoots 8 inches right and low. Working through the problems, it really seems to need a new barrel. I'm willing to pay for the barrel, but Air Venturi won't sell me any parts...

Yeah, bummer, but Just part of the game. I buy lots of used and refurbs, and most of the time, it works out just fine. Once in a while, you get a truly defective item that made it through the QA process. This is one thing they just don't test for. my fault I didn't shoot it during the 90 day...

That could be very well the case, but I don't have tools or knowledge to properly check. I've had the barrel out several times (twice tonight) and I've carefully reinstalled each time. I also had a rifle installed improperly and had to take it apart and reinstall very carefully. Now it shoots...

Rails arrived today and took care of half of the problem. It no longer shoots high. Still shoots to the right. I even removed the stock and factory barrel band and still shoots to the right. It groups nicely, but still, not enough deflection in the scope. Thinking next step will be to...

The simplest and most bullet proof leveling method I've found is this contraption. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4820950 You place the rectangular bit on your rail and slide the triangle piece up until it hits the flat bottom of your scope. Leveling takes about 5 seconds. So far, very...

I have two Impacts, a Marauder and an Avenger. If I were buying my first gun, knowing what I know, I'd probably get the Avenger. It gets you in the game with enough $$ left over to buy a compressor and air tank. Once you learn a bit more about the guns, then get an Impact MK3. The Avenger...
