Air Venturi Avenge-X Tactical Reviews

The best PCP air rifle for the money! I purchased the .22 tactical tube model. Very accurate. Shoots 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards. Easily takes ground squirrels out to 70 yards. I get about 55 shots using JSB 18.13 pellets st 916 FPS with a std. dev. of 2 fps! Used my Labradar for measurement Ergonomics are the weak point due to a cheap stock. I changed the stock to a Magpul PRS Lite which has LOP and comb height adjustment. The noise level is medium, I added a Donny FL Tanto, it is now very quite. Magazines look cheap however, I have approximately 4700 rounds on the gun. No magazine or rifle failures at all. Fit and finish are excellent. Keys to maimizng the potential of the PCP rifle: Take time to setup the rifle ergnomics. Take time to set regulator and hammer spring to the pellets you shoot. Know your ballistics VERY IMPORTANT! Qualty scope and rings. Cheap is cheap, You have to have good optics and rings which may cost as much as the gun if not more

Stock is poor, but what do you expect for $529 bucks.

Buy it you won't be disappointed and the money you save can be used to cover the cost of the accessories.

Very accurate lots of power

Doesn't shoulder very comfortable for me and the rear stock is kinda cheap feeling

Mine got here with no leaks and we'll packaged

I like the tank shot count, the aluminum block, and the trigger seems better than the old Avenger when tightening the hammer spring.

My regulator adjustment will only go down to 2000psi and I would like it to go down more like the old Avenger. I think the connection of the bottle works well and does not leak as bad as FX does when taking off the bottle, but I would like a standard bottle regulator to fit, and it doesn't. This would be to dule regulate the system or change the bottle with bigger or smaller size. I would add a folding stock adapter and a port hole to access the hammer spring without having to dismantle the weapon to adjust hammer. I have been unable to remove the buffer tube for some reason. I also would have changed the access point for the plenum and made it were you could add an extended plenum without cutting the stock.

I have noticed that the AvengeX didn't fix the first shot flyer as the original Avenger has. I am not sure this rifle is worth the extra dime.

Exceptional rifle.

A replacement for the picatinny rail to a smooth rounded surface fore grip area an a removable smaller picatinny rail.

There is nothing about this air rifle I don't like. Accuracy is great out of the box. As soon as I get a chronograph it will be even better. I like the look and simplicity of the tactical stock. Of course if you don't like a stock you can just swap it out for another style.

The only thing I would change is the length of pull for the tactical stock. It is just one inch for me. I thought about a new rifle/stock tube, but went with a slip on buttstock pad.

Until airgun manufacturers pressure test and test fire their products, I highly recommend you have Pyramid Air do this for you. A small fee led to a flawless first time pcp purchase for myself. Thanks Pyramid Air. LDT

Fit and finish perfect. Superb accuracy....1 hole groups at 27 yards w/JTS Dead Center 18.1 avgs 895fps. Shoulders well. And perfect weight. Looks are stunning with the carbon fiber bottle. Excellent shot count 120+

Sloppy fit of sliding stock to buffer tube. Corrected this with a Hogue stock.

After having to return 2 of these with the 210cc tube due to an air leak where tube meets action my guess that the 400cc bottle would be better was correct. Very satisfied with this purchase now! Joseph K Akron, Oh.

Well made, exceptional accuracy, I doubt if anyone can find a better air rifle.

Magazine loading, a better magazine dosent load pellet skirt side first. AKA check the Barra 1100z magazine they load easier

Fit n finish. Shouldered and handled well. Very accurate, one hole groups at 27 yards. 895fps avg w/ JTS Dead Center 18.1

Better quality of valve seals. First one air leaks at air tube to action junction within 150 pellets. Replacement rifle sent and leaked in same place within 50 pellets. Returned for refund.

Would have been 5 star rated across board without leaks. Thanks to PA for hassle free returns. Joseph K

Great gun for the money. Everything could sit and shoot all day.

Mfg. Should have but up stock before putting it on the market to keep up with the demand of the customers base.

Don't wait just order it. Pay PA to test everything before it ships to you.

This air rifle is everything that it was said to be. Out of the box added a 6x24 scope and zeroed the scope in three shots. I was able to put 6 pellets in roughly the same hole after quickly sighting everything in. I will move out to a 30 yard zero tomorrow and begin working on HFT targeting. The weight is excellent, the front lower rail makes for quickly mounting a bipod. This a very quiet rifle on factory settings.

I cannot think of anything I would change. This is my third PCP and after shooting a Gauntlet 30 setup for Bench rest shooting this rifle is exactly what I was looking for.

I had the 19 shot for $10 test and the FPS and FPE were excellent. This test also makes certain that there are no leaks. I will order both the .22 cal. barrel and .25 cal. barrel very soon. If you are on the fence on the purchase this is a good option.

Accurate

An option not to have a rail on the bottom would be better with a rounded smooth hand grip that goes to the barrel band without any rail.

Think about what caliber is best to fill your needs, this is a excelent rifle make the best use of your money with the caliber that fills your use.

This is my first pcp rifle. I don't have anything to compare it to and don't even have a scope yet because as we know these have not been in stock and it was ordered on short notice. This rifle will replace a Benjamin NPXL .22 for pest control around the farm. The tactical is about half the weight of the XL and cocking the XL has gotten to be more than I want. Having a quick follow up shot will be nice too. This thing feels great and seems built even though it's lightweight. I gave 5 stars for accuracy because I fired 2 pellets at a real broad side of a barn and hit it both times. This thing is so smooth and quiet. Can't wait to get a scope mounted and get to know this rifle. Thanks Pyramydair

I would have ordered a scope sooner to have ready but thats my fault and could use more information on what rings are needed to clear the standard and also the higher capacity magazines. Get stocks or at least barrel kits in stock

We all know these have been on pre-order all summer. I have been checking the website often and one morning last week it said "Hurry only 1 left in stock." I ordered and got lucky somehow and I am glad because this thing is cool and as always Pyramydair was quick and easy to deal with
