I have three 850's with SYN stocks...they are stiffer in the butt stock area.. not like toilet paper like the Avenger. But I'm going to mod my Avenger butt stock to get rid of the issue.. just need to settle on the right coating.

I wonder if you could foam the inside of the plastic stock? It would quiet the hollow sound and it should add a bit of stiffness too. You could use the spray window foam sealant in a can found at home improvement stores. It expands like crazy so you would have to leave a hole open in the butt for the excess to escape and then trim off the excess after it has cured for a few days.

It would expand and dry filling void but would not reduce that sound much you get when thumping butt stock with your finger....I'm thinking more like using that rubber flex seal to deaden noise...just remove butt pad and spray it in...it goes on thick....just stuff a rag down by the grip inside and remove it when rubber seal is dry...
I'm going to try both inside a soda can as an experiment...Home Depot has both.

It’s important to keep things perspective. This is a sub $400 regulated gun. I have several 2k+ guns and I have this one just for playing around and I still think it’s the best bang for the buck. Not high quality in many ways but it’s reflected in the price and mine has been flawless in operation. I think it’s a home run.

In 2007 or so, I bought "low cost" air guns and three were converted to HPA and all still operating today without repairs.. example is $200 for base rifle another $300 for conversion. Never have I spent more than $500. But add scopes, cases, pellets etc and you have expenses not to mention fill tanks...lol

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised when my avenger came. Yeah, the stock isn't amazing but it is better than expected. No regrets.

The avenger is my first side lever air rifle and for $300 is a great learning platform for tuning. Had it out to 50 yards and it’s very accurate and consistent, I’m working on my 75 and 100 yards range.

I bet if the Avenger came with a stock similar to the one on the Umarex Origin, there wouldn't be too many complaints. The Origin has the best synthetic stock out of all of the Nova Vista guns (Liberty, Freedom/Aspen, Avenger). It has a similar feel to my Gamo Urban. I wonder if Umarex gets the Origin stocks from Nova Vista or if they are sourced from a different manufacturer.

I'm thinking the Origin stocks are same material design as the 850 Air Magnum and Dominator SYN stocks which I have both. These stocks are well built/solid.

Nope, even thicker plastic than the 850, you can beat doors down with it.

I also have a Walther Dominator (a steal at $120 shipped from Umarex USA). The Origin stock is a little bit more robust and is better balanced, in my opinion.
