After two years and tons of mods this 25cal Avenger has become my favorite pcp rifle to shoot at 75yds and under from the bench. It has been up against some stiff competition. If price is the consideration I must say that at the time I bought it it was under $300 and the rifles I compare it to are up to 21/2 times more expensive. At this range they are not as consistently accurate as the Avenger.
Knowing that I had a neat rifle I thought that it should also look the part so I shaved and sanded the stock and filled the butt with polymer foam that hardens for a firm but still lightweight and balanced feel. Trying to keep the American blued metal look to the trigger guard I sanded and polished and clear coated it prior to masking and spray painting the stock.
The bore is lapped and polished and I use the professional tune on the regulator as described in YouTube videos. The piccatiny rail is an aftermarket metal replacement and the scope is a Mueller 8X32X44mm target dot that I leave set at 20X.
The plastic shroud retainer has been replaced with an aftermarket aluminum one and I included four other bbl/shroud centering rings as well as the one from the factory and the muzzle is tipped with a fitted air stripper. Other mods were to help sound deadening beginning with a single 1/8” hole drilled in the shroud at the breech end to release pressure and covered with 4 Mr. Clean cleaning pad wads fitted over the bbl within the shroud. At the muzzle end the shroud is filled past the air stripper with two baffles followed with an aftermarket moderator for the Avenger threaded directly to the shroud that joins it all together. It is very very neighbor friendly.
When I add up the costs of assembling this rifle it is close to the bare bones out of the box price of the rifles I am comparing it to.
I think it would be great to hear from others that are upgrading their Avenger pcp rifles and learn what works for you.

. The advantage this aftermarket mags have over the oem AVA is that since they are manufactured with much more tolerance and quality control process in a CNC machine they are much more precise. Therefore this prevent our guns from firing erratic shots. For this reason mine is now much more accurate and shot with greater precision than before.
