    Very nice video,
    I have the 25 caliber Avenger with the synthetic stock. i do have Donny FL barrel extender and a V2 lockdown barrel band. now i have mine tuned to shoot NSA29 grain slugs, reg 2700-2800. I have it set to take out coyote . I have a 8th inch steel plate, at 65 yards it leaves deep imprints in it. if anyone doubts it ill put up a pic.

    Wow it’s cool that you just tree this video up and I just tuned my .25 cal Avenger for NSA 26.8 grain slugs at 880 FPS with the reg set at 23-2400 psi hammer spring maxed then back half a turn. Just a laser beam. 1/2” groups at 65 yards🔥🤙❤️ BTW…leave the fillprobe in the gun and just cap it. I have been doing it for over 3 years and have never lost one or had one even slightly fall out🤙👍💯🇺🇸💪 Yes I hunt and do pest control and never have lost one ever! The Avenger now comes in a wood stock too. Soon you will be able to buy just the stock. Sometime in June presumably according to PUA.

    Point to note is that the air cylinder is running full length below the barrel shroud, as well as another half inside the foregrip below that cylinder,

    I have the .25 caliber version of the avenger.. it's a cannon!! I HAD a problem with critters.. not anymore!! As far as the plastic stock goes??? I live in the Houston area where it's hot and humid 11 months out of the year so the plastic stock might actually last longer here. No gripes though. That DAR looks awesome too.

    Nice review, thanks for sharing. I am a relative PCP newby, but have acquired the Avenger in 25 cal, and 22 cal. The 22 cal is one of the new wood stock models. The wood stock is a nice upgrade. Both guns are very accurate. 22 cal at 1400 psi reg gets about 100 shots, 25 cal at 2200 psi reg gets about 24 very powerful shots.

      @Nasier Omran I shot a few but not over a chronograph. I was watching another vid where someone was testing the 25 cal, and velocity gain past 2200 reg pressure was not too much, but it used the air faster.

    Install a pound of plumbers putty in the rear of the stock. Quick, cheap way of quieting down the sound of the stock and also makes it balance better and makes for a great bench shooter.

    I’d say this comparison tips the scale to the Air Venturi, but either one would be a great choice for me. I have a wood stock air rifle and always thought it to be overly heavy.

  • @usernamemykel
    @usernamemykel 3 роки тому +2

    A few things. First of all, your presentation is clear and informative, for which I thank you.
    A few things that you should be able to fix: Your camera person keeps making clicking noises, and his/her shadow appears to be scratching at fleas - quite distracting.
    In your camera settings, INCREASE the exposure a little so that there's effectively more light on your face. What the camera is trying to do is compromise between the bright outdoor light it "sees", and the lighting inside the house - but the outside light is winning, so YOU have to take control and tell the camera what you want.
    Otherwise, I'll say it again, I enjoyed the presentation.

    Ok I'm a 55 Year old male and was big into pellet guns in the 80s had a cross man 760 I think it was a pump gun 10 max . I want to know what gun I should buy now 2022 I like the air venturi 22 or 25 . I see all the advice from you guys and it didn't help me me at all just confused me how about just being a good person and talk to me like it was the old days ... What is the best cal. To buy for small game hunting and target shooting. Wood stock or composite? I'm no pro I'm just a good person that likes to shoot air rifles. I want a air venturi gun but don't know what to get. Help me in English please. Thank you

      the gauntlet 2 does not have any adjustment for hammer spring or air pressure but has much better shot count, but it also is heavier. i like the weight and adjustability of the avenger wood stock but you will get like double the shot count out of the gauntlet 2

      If you get the Gauntlet 2 get it from Hajimoto and have I'm set it up. The Avenger is a great gun but it has nothing on a Hajimoo Gauntlet build. His Gauntlets shoot laser beam accurate with 30% more power.
