One of the hottest and most talked about guns in recent times, the Air Venturi Avenger is at the top of many wish lists and in high demand. No other gun on the market gives you this combination of versatility, quality, and affordability, which makes it the entry level rifle to beat.
First things first: the Avenger delivers on its promises. The gun goes toe to toe in accuracy against premium guns that cost 5 times as much. It could even be the most accurate airgun you'll own, and certainly at this price point.
What makes the Avenger so different is its adjustability. It has an externally adjustable regulator and an adjustable hammer spring. You can tune this rifle almost any way you want, from a lower power hand pump setup, to a high power compressor setup. There's never been a gun like it anywhere near this price level.
There are two gauges for your convenience, one for reg pressure on the right side and one for fill pressure on the left side. There's also a light and crisp 2 stage adjustable trigger, and the male quick disconnect fitting at the end of the air cylinder makes for easy fills.
The airgun with many setup options also has 2 holes for swivel studs and a Picatinny forearm rail for stock accessories like lasers, bipods, and lights. Also, your choice of optics mounts easily using the 11mm dovetail and Weaver combo scope rail.
Rounding out the features is a silky smooth sidelever that operates one of the two included auto indexing magazines, giving you more time shooting with less time reloading. If you're looking for an incredibly accurate PCP air rifle that can be set up however you want, the Air Venturi Avenger is your answer.

Pros
First PCP and this thing is a good time for plinking in the yard.
Cons
Have only shot 4 magazines and 1 magazine has already failed. Need to follow up on warranty. Also, hand pumping is more of a pain than would have thought. I am in decent shape but time consuming and you will sweat. 😅
GREAT customer service and pricing can't be beat.
Pros
LOVE this air rifle!!!
It replaces a break barrel I have had for awhile. Not just a step up, it is a GIANT leap up.
Cons
Large, 4350 psi tank, adjustable internal regulator, adjustable hammer and trigger, single shot OR 10 round magazine that accepts standard or long pellets AND side lever action for follow up shot if needed or have multiple targets. The squirrel population has greatly diminished on my property who were eating a lot of chicken food and blue jays that were breaking and eating MY eggs.
DON'T BUY THIS
Pros
Accuracy is great.
Cons
Feeding is beyond terrible. It's like all the 5 star reviews were for a different rifle. The bolt is very narrow at the tip, about 1.5mm. I punches straight through both pellets and slugs. Extracting is an excercise in frustration. Removing the magazine with a jammed pellet sticking halfway into the chamber is near impossible.
The bolt does not travel forward enough. It's about 2 mm short. This leaves the o-rings unseated. On firing, the o-rings are blown back over the bolt and have to be manually reseated.
Pros
very nice balance, easy to chamber. want to put scope on it. haven't had time yet.
Cons
i would like to have more time to be able to see what i would improve
Buying my avenger was my first experience with airgun depot and I will probably go back to using the other mail order supplier. I got the impression from talking to airgun depot, they really don't care about customer service. I will be getting a higher end PCP at Christmas. Very fun to shoot these air rifles. For everyone considering one, also get one of the electric pumps. They make all the difference in the world! I can sit on my back porch and have a great time shooting in relative quiet.
Pros
Great gun for the money. Shoots accurate, fairly quiet and has great adjustability. It is also very lightweight compared to others such as the gauntlet. The side lever is one of the best things about this. So easy to load compared to bolt actions that have really stiff actions. I can get a follow up shot off really quickly with this one.
Cons
I have no complaints with the gun, just frustrated a bit with airgun depot. My avenger came in a seriously damaged box. I suspect I got a refurb which I paid full price for. Emailed airgun depot with pics of the damage and all they said is they would pass it on to the warehouse. I didn't want the expense to ship it back at my cost so I am just forced to accept a product that has a mangled box. Not impressed at all the the customer service here.
Pros
I like everything about this gun. It's accurate and powerful.
Cons
I wish it was about 4 inches shorter in length.
Not inexpensive, but it is affordable. Excellent gun for someone new entering into the shooting sports. With no recoil and very little noise, it avoids the firearms recoil anticipation many new shooters have to deal with.
Pros
The Avenger is enjoyable to shoot. No issues with the gun or any accessories. With a Hawke scope, it's almost impossible to miss. Very glad I purchased one.
Cons
Nothing I've seen yet.
put air in it scope on it, hade it sighted in at 40 yards in ten shots. in side a quarter , at 80 yards, it took me 7 shots to find the second mil dot 3 bullseyes running 2100 psi and got 38 shots before pressure drop below set pressure 25 cal. my neighbor like ti so much he bought one but 22 cal. Love it !
Pros

Cons

Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.can this be shipped to Puerto Rico 00676 usa
asked AMADOR A from USAYes, but you will have to select the degassing service.
Adam from USACan you change out the the barrel to a different caliber? If so is it possible to put a Lother Walther on it?
asked Lincoln from USAIf i order from Philippines is there any assurance that i can receive the item and how long does it take before it arrive? Thanks
asked Leonard from PhilippinesWhat can i realistically hunt with the 25 cal version of this? I've seen a lot of people say it has great power but how does that compare to what animals can i take down with a well placed shot? Would a deer be reasonable?
asked Tyler from USAA deer would absolutely not be reasonable. I think that your upper limit for game should be raccoons or skunks. Much bigger than that, you run the risk of injuring the animal without killing it. Deer is too big.
Ethan from USADo you make it for left handed?
asked Christian from USAWhat is its bore size? What is the depth of rifflings? Is it a choked or straight bore? What is the recommended pellet weight?
asked John from USANew to this. Any stores in FL. where I can get hands on info and setup on an eventual purchase? Definitely like the Venturi Avenger. Live in Tampa, willing to travel FL.
asked Chet from USAi have the 25 cal when i use my hand pump ii here air comming out of the frount of the gun where the fill conector is at
asked charles from USACan nitrogen and or co2 be used
asked Ralph from USAAnytime I attempt to adjust my regulator it leaks. Why? What do I do to fix it?
asked Jesse from USA
Pros
I held off writing this review for a few months so I could give an informed opinion. I love this gun! It's a big upgrade from the Hatsan Flash it replaced. It's very accurate and consistent, and the side lever action is fast and conveniently placed. The magazines are durable so far and very easy to load, and the fact that it comes with 2 is great. It did a great job of keeping the darn squirrels out of my avocados this year.
Cons
Not the prettiest gun in the world, I guess. But with the price and quality I can't make myself care too much.
