I was hoping this Huma 40 Avalanche in .25 would be a good moderator, I saw a lot of positive reviews around, reviews that were probably paid for. It's noticably quieter than my Buckrail. However, I can't hit the broad side of a barn from 25 yards using an otherwise fairly accurate .22 Sig Virtus, the pellets go every which way and I mean wildly, many veer off by 50 feet or more, not fooling. I've tried many things like shortening and switching around the cans and inserts. I even ran it empty. All gave dangerous results, I mean that, dangerously inaccurate.

I also tried it on a .177 Avenger and it's still very inaccurate, no way will it zero. And I've no such problems with the Buckrail.

So in conclusion, the Huma Mod 40 Avalanche Moderator is an expensive piece of junk suitable for shooting off your foot, or the foot of anyone in the area. If you've the side of a barn that you want to remain in pristine condition, get this moderator. Even a French airgun competition judge would have to agree, any French contestant using this moderator in competition will lose.

Lastly, I got it from Trenier in Wisconsin for $150, so I'd like to thank them for selling me this junk, I thought they were experienced with these moderators, but it seems they've no problem selling junk.
 
I have a few of the previous Huma model MOD40's (not the Avalanche) and really like them. I have not tried the Avalanche model, but am pretty shocked they are that horrible. Have you tried contacting Huma Air to see if they will do anything for you. Have you contacted Jeff at Trenier Outdoors and talked to him? I doubt he'd sell a product if every one of them was giving folks those sort of problems.

I have a mod 40 I recently got from Trenier. I haven’t had any of those issues. It’s the avalanche so not as quiet as the Kevlar inserts. That’s my only complaint personally. I just made a wrapped insert so I’ll see if that helps with noise.
Something is off that’s for sure. I don’t think I’ve heard of a moderator throwing off a pellet that bad in my life.

There's no clipping, nor did I post my review so that we could have enough information, but rather to say to the entire world - don't buy this junk. That's all the information we need here.

I tried two different airguns using a few different pellets that are otherwise accurate both unmodded and with a Buckrail moderator. And so my conclusion comes by experience and some scientific methodology.

And why would I contact Huma? They're not even in the United States, I can't be bothered with all that. And I didn't trash Trenier, they've a clear "no return" policy on used items, so they're under no obligation to issue a refund, nor do I have any obligation to ask them as much.

Everything I've said here is factual, not trash, the Huma Mod 40 Avalanche is what's trash. And whether or not I could get a refund isn't point, the point is that this moderator is dangerous, I mean that. Hazardous to people and property, not joking. This moderator should be recalled and taken off the market. Not joking.

It attaches to the Sig at the barrel, it simply won't group, wildly goes every which way. On the Avenger it's via a DonnyFL adapter and groups maybe 5' (feet) at 35 yards and won't group beyond that, just scatters.

Compared with the Buckrail, the Sig groups 1-2" at 35 yards, the Avenger is like a dime or tighter, really spot on. But not as quiet.

My review is fair and honest, say what you will but I'll not compromise, the air gunning public has a right to know about my experience with this product.
