You guys that have them, how are they working for you? Seems like they are back in stock at a few places. I was curious to how they are holding up and if there have been many problems reported.
Air Venturi Avenger Updates???
- Thread starter LSS152
- Start date
I read of air leaking issues almost every day on the air groups on social media. Aside from that, havent heard a single issue.

People should document how many shots fired before leak. This may determine life expectancy to the average non mechanically inclined Joe to be aware of and total running cost including paying shipping and insurance for warranty added in addition to the $299(initial cost plus shipping) investment. Or are they offering free shipping label for picking up for warranty so no additional out of pocket expense and only wait time with no gun?

Interesting the warranty shipping concerns. I warrantied a gun a few weeks ago (not Air Venturi) and the company shipped old gun back to them and new gun to me at no cost. I hope that is the industry standard..

I had about 3500 shots when the regulator started leaking in my .22 but 2 o-rings in the reg fixed it. Took my longer to find a supplier than it did to install.

My back order at PA just filled today and I am hoping they addressed the issues from the first run rifles. Just waiting for shipping notice as they got the funds yesterday from my back order.
Shipments from PA to my home take about a week.. I can post back as I have chronograph, and room to shoot etc.

Hand pumping mine to 2300psi and getting 58 shots down to 1300 psi with 30 fps spread. Hoping the lower fill pressure prolongs life. Also not pellet picky! Really liking it. Oh .177 version reg set to 1300 psi.

Yours will probably last the longest with that 1300psi reg setting and max fill pressure of only 2300psi. I wouldn't worry too much in your particular case because those poppets are meant for co2 pressures and yours isn't much higher.

I plan to store my Avenger .22 at 1160 psi when not in use. I have two other regulated rifles that REG pressure is set at 1900 PSI to take stress off REG. and both are now 10 years old.

Got to shoot my .22 cal for the first time today.! First ever PCP for me and relatively new to airguns. I do have a couple of break barrels.
Used Steve’s eco tune. 1400 psi regulator/1.5 turns in hammer spring. only pumped to 3100 psi.
zeroed at 50 yards. light wind today.
get 5 magazines of good shots (50) before needing more air. My Brother in law gets about 40 shots on his stock marauder with 3000 psi.
Amazingly crosman premier pointed 14.3 grain and HN Field target trophy power(copper colored ones) had the tightest groups at 50 yards 3/4- 7/8”. The middle three targets below. JSB jumbo exacts 15.89 gr is the top group. 1 1/4-1/2”
50 yards below JSB jumbo exacts and JSB jumbo exacts RS and Air Arms diablo field 16 gr. All about 1.25”
Below is JSB jumbo exacts at 70 yards
1.5” groups
For some reason here is the crosman’s at 70 yards.
Loving the guns so far!!

Very good shooting and groups. You may have gone off REG with the Crosmans or close to it...dunno.

my .22 has over 2500 shots and its stored close to 3k psi.
i never fill above 4k and no problems except the reg creep.
i read where folks are making the poppet seal with delrin and its sealing better &
lasting much longer.
i will have this done when mine fails.

I would say I have close to 5000 through my 22. Reg at 21ish and I store it above reg pressure. It had creep in it for the first 500 shots or so and still is wonky for the first 2 or 3 shots after a fill. Other than that no problems and it is a tack driver even at 100. I haven't really picked up any of my other rifles since I got it I love it that much. I am not really worried about the poppet because I like to tinker but I can't seem to find any liberty after market poppets. I know I have seen them in the past but can't remember where.
Where did you get the magazines? It look so much better

My reg creeps causing first shot 40 FPS spike. I am just waiting to see if it will break in as I don’t have but maybe 50 shots on it. If it doesn’t I will wait for an aftermarket one that will fit right in there that ranks higher than slightly better than

Here is a 30 yard 5 shot group. My avenger is down to 30 FPS first shot increase. The POI shift is completely negligible at 30. Four shots are basically one hole. Those were shots 2-5. The first shot was the ever so slightly high hit. Will have to further test for 40 and 50 but I think no big deal to aim a hair low.
Sorry no idea how to properly post the pic.
