Collared doves are by far my favorite animal to harvest with an airgun. How are you liking the Avenger?!

@s97 yes, they are a good pesting quarry. At least around SE Idaho where I have posted, I see more Eurasian collared doves than feral pigeons. I don’t know if it is because the doves are more aggressive than the pigeons, and drive them off, or just out breed them.

What caliber are you shooting?

I live near Sunriver and this is the first collared dove that has come in to my bird feeders. Also had a starling come in once. 



I'm shooting the avenger in 25. Its complete overkill for back yard. Would have use the prod. But my prod needs some parts don't arrive until Monday.. I was going to wait but the opportunity couldn't be passed up. 

I've got 2kish Rounds through the avenger. It like the other av guns is more accurate than it should be for the price. The std devs are small. No issues except it isn't fun to fill from zero which is required when you want to adjust regulator down. Poppets and other parts longevity... Lets be honest This isn't an heirloom gun. But I don't hot rod it 2300 reg setting and 2back from full. 

Have I mentioned how devastating Hades are?
