Many airgunners may not know that Nova Vista makes this gun and has its origins from the NV Liberty which was sold…at least mine…from ATI in Florida. I paid 285$ for a .22 Liberty with a wood stock and is still to this day one of my most accurate PCPs I own and is second only to my .25 caliber LCS. On many occasions my Liberty at 75 yards holds nickel size groups with 18.13 grain pellets. Not to shabby for a sub 300$ PCP.
Thanks for the post! This is the basis for the Avenger line, and I agree, this is a solid shooting platform, exceptional, considering the price point. The Avenger-X has a higher energy output, higher shot count, and the modularity mentioned which increases the price point a bit, but still a great value in my opinion.
It’s crazy how rabbits can stay still for a long time. I have seen rabbits not move at all ,not even the ears for over ten minutes at least. They almost look like props.
I know, I have just about tripped over them when the only cover was a clump of dried grass...... at other times they are gone before you can get within 100 yards. They seem secure in camo and the ability to outrun danger for the most part.
I just came across the aveng x and was wondering what the difference was. Very nice explanation and your timing is perfect! Have you seen what these can do with a 15 or 20cc plenum installed? Pretty remarkable the way the power/shot count is improved. I hear in Texas the momma rabbits tell their kids ''be good or Jim will get you'' Keep rackin' em' up buddy awesome video
Glad it was helpful, and thanks for the comment. Haven't done any experimenting with the plenum, other than to tinker with the hammer spring and regulator to optimize performance. I know that there are 3rd party plenums available but haven't had the chance to try one out. At some point I hope to. I've heard the plenum from Doux Technologies is generating a significant power increase.
@@americanairgunhunter A 15cc plenum got 14 shots at 78 fpe out of a .22! I saw this on the air velocity sport youtube channel. I have a 20cc plenum from DC tunes the guy who made the one in the AVS video. I think 80fpe is not unreasonable
Greetings, Mr Chapman. Happy holidays! Nice video, I think starting the new year, you should show a video on your Jack Rabbit recipes. Keep up the great work 👍
How do you think it would do on a coyote ? In that exact configuration? I’m looking for a well priced pcp for our coyote problem and this is the pcp I’ve kinda landed on ..
Good morning Jim 🌄. How well would this PCP perform when it is taken from indoor temperatures of 70°F, to outside temperatures of about 10°F for hunting and or target practice🎯?
I haven't had any problem is very cold weather with the Avenger, though haven't had the Avenge-X in anything colder than 30°F so far this year (two days ago). I will use it in the harsh MN and WI area I small game hunt, and don't anticipate any issues but will keep you posted.
I need something to drop coyotes & foxes, im over run, my german sheppards are out numbered, id like a 25 cal but i dont know which brand, im retired 64 years old
The Avenge-X was only released recently, are you talking about Avenger? There is a baseline increase in power in the Avenge-X platform. I am going to do a video comparing the Avenger and Avenge-x platforms soon.
It's too bad if they would have made it in 30. caliber I would have been very interested especially since it's a modular design. Who knows maybe somebody might come out with a kit.
Maybe they'll make a .30 at some point, or maybe a third party will pop up with barrel/magazine kits. The tunability of the gun is such, it will probably accommodate a larger caliber with no modification. The .25 is really nice on this rifle in the meantime!
You can put up to a 20cc(more tan double the stock plenum) custom plenum on it and get 70-80 fpe with a .25. Load it with heavier slugs ang you're pretty close.
Not every gun is for every person. The cool thing about this one is that it is truly modular, so you can build it up anyway you want. My goal for this Avenge-x was to specifically build out a long-distance varmint gun for prairie dog. I will say that it is well balanced, and I like shooting it. When I sat truly modular, I mean a wide selection of components are available at a reasonable cost. You can build the gun that suits you.
