I was doing a bit of screen shopping last night and was surprised to notice a new offering by Pyramid Air. An Air Venturi Avenger with a wooden stock. It appears to be quite nice in it's honey color and checkering. They make no mention of the weight of the gun just that it's heavier. They also fail to mention the type of wood other than it's a hardwood. The price is $429.99 which doesn't look to bad against the new $349.99 price of the synthetic version. I knew this had to happen eventually as the gun is just to good not to have a decent stock. I only hope they'll offer the stock for sale separately so those of us, myself included, who've already bought the Avenger can upgrade.

ANY THOUGHTS ON THE NEW AIR VENTURI AVENGER WOODEN STOCK ?
- Thread starter JD5
- Start date
I was going to make my own stock but I was holding off to see if they would come out with one. After see the new stock I bought a blank to make my own.

I would hope they have all the issues fixed on this gun by now especially coming out with a Wood stock version.I’ll wait until I hear feedback. And after the warranty is up I would have to Refinish that stock darker.

Well, I guess that says it all about your feelings on the new stock. Do you just not like the look or is there other reasons for your decision?

I have the AV Avenger in .177 and don't mind the synthetic stock. If anyone ever offers just a wood stock to replace the original one, I'll take a look.

I really don't like the way it looks. The cheek on it is the same as the synthetic which is wayy too low for my liking. I just made my own and the rifle feels and cheeks great now

The synthetic stock was the deal breaker for me, now that they came out with the wooden stock I'm back in the game. If they sell the wooden stock alone it will fly off the shelf. imho
I hope anyone looking to purchase an airgun buys their ammo first, and plenty of it, if they and find what they're looking for.

Be advised both are now at a $50 and $130 price hike premium and everyone should check to be sure both are indeed the improved models b4 buying especially at their higher selling ptoves since the WOODEN STOCKED DAR Gen2s are NOT jacked up PRICEWISE unlike the Avengers SO IT'S RATHER INTERESTING they have been this price since DAY 1 for $269.95 and $299.95 Just sayin'...
DO PAY ATTENTION TO WHOMEVER AREN'T JACKING UP THEIR PRICES AND JUST WONDER THATS ALL LIKE TRENIER TOO FOR EXAMPLE.
HINT-? HINT-?

I was not a fan of the shape of the plastic stock and it looks like the new wood one from AV follows the shape butt and grip shape.
I started working on a CAD model to cut a wood stock for my Avenger on my CNC 4 axis router.
Just some rough "sketches" to start figuring out how I want the lines to look. I think it will be a great gun with some nice wood on it.

Loren, keep us posted, As far as I know you're the first to set up a CAD program. You may be poised to start selling stock only option..... with quality wood, hmmmm. Sounds like a win win to me, I know I'd be interested.

The stock is purdy. I have always liked the aesthetics of a nice piece of lumber. Just something as comforting as biscuits and gray to me.
I have an AV with the composite stock and even though it sounds like a hollow piece of plastic, I love the rifle. I'm not opposed to hollow sounding plastic, since I put my life on something of the sort for a lot of years. If I were to find one on the cheap, I'd get a wood stock. If I were in the market today for another AV, the original offering wouldn't slow me down a bit. A lot of bang for the buck in them.
While we area on the AV, what is the "part" that everyone talks about but no one names that is so illusive? What are the other mentioned shortcomings? Other than not having a price tag to gloat to my friends over, I find it a pretty good offering. None of my friends are all that impressed with price tags anyway.
The Prom Queen may be shiny, but the girl with the dirt under her finger nails will make you her life.
Cheers

Seeing the beautiful work you did on your Air Force Texan rifles if you made a ambidextrous Thumb hole stock with an adjustable cheek rest for the Avenger they would probably sell like hotcakes

Thanks. I carved it myself from a laminate blank. First time making a stock. Took me a while with work being so busy.
