Any one have issues with the picatinny rails at the top? It's like the gaps are too narrow and won't fit my qr mount. It does look pretty cheap and saw videos where a few folks swapped out those top rails.

tywynn,
Saw same Avenger review video, switching out top rail recommended, can't imagine Air Venturi sees this as good press. WM

Ooof. $40 just to swap the rails. The weaver to picatinny utg adapter is cheaper but aesthetics strange that picatinny is on top of the picatinny. Decisions. Putting a bit more money than I wanted into this

For $40, you can get a file (or set of files) and open up the two notches you need...and put $30 of it back in your pocket.

The factory rail on mine worked alright. Picatinny mounts fit and it shot straight enough, but yeah, it looked kind of "cheap" given the double Pic/DT setup. I've since swapped it for a Saber Tactical rail (which is a work of art), hoping the weather moderates enough next week that I can get out and shoot it a bit.

Hmmm…the ones I had I thought worked fine. I wonder if the scope mount rail fit had anything to do with the ultra low POI out of the box?

It seems the Saber Tactical rail upgrade is almost a necessary. My stock rails were crooked in every axis. I was expecting as much, so I didnt really put any effort into fully installing a scope as I didnt want to damage one. It was quickly obvious if I torqued down a set of rings both the action and the scope tube would be all twisty. The cast pot metal breech/action block is certainly the weak point of the Avenger, but the Saber Tactical rails are nice and straight.
Edit: Wanted to add, your Quick Release mount may not fit the stock rails if you have picatinny style hardware. The Avenger stock rails are Weaver style, which sometimes slotted too narrow to fit a picatinny cross bolt.
