Budget PCP that does it all! Air Venturi AVENGER 

My dude you're blessed not spoiled. Your viewers are slightly spoiled with the wealth of information you provide, and that's ok. Thanks bud.

This video explained exactly what I wanted to know about this gun. Thanks for the straight-forward review, and for the commentary on what you gain, and what you don't with a more expensive gun.

Thanks for coming back to our level

Wow. Airgun Depot is showing this rifle for just $349 US. That’s an incredible value for such a capable rifle. When you said half the price of a dreamline, that would be $550, and I would have expected that to be a decent price for this rifle. At $349, that’s a no-brainer. At $1,150 the Dreamline is off of most Americans’ shopping lists simply because we don’t need licenses to own firearms, and $1,000 buys a heck of a lot of rifle.

If Matt and Ted give this pcp a thumbs up then I'm sold.

You’re probably sick of hearing this, but what a wonderful job with this vid. Incredible content, excellent editing where you didn’t make your viewers suffer though the little insignificant footage of loading/shooting of the gun. Thank you. I’m a wannabe and trying to figure this all out without wasting money as a 1st timer.

Its air rifles like this that help get people into the sport. Good for Air Venturi on getting an affordable option to those who can afford an expensive setup. The more in the sport the more it will continue to grow!

After watching too many airgun videos I must say that your presentations are the most accessible, comprehensive, useful and approachable by amateurs like myself. Thanks! (Subbed)

I was really excited to get your professional evaluation on a value budget PCP..Great review, as usual. Thank you, again.

Thank you for giving this review but more importantly, your honest opinion on this rifle. I've watched your videos for a long time and trust and respect your insight knowing your own accuracy and overall experience with air rifles. Thanks again and love your channel!

what amazing timing for this video. as an avid marksman living in the united states, insane ammo prices have peaked my interest in PCPs more than ever

This has been the best pcp review i have ever seen. Thank you for the solid info.

It's awesome seeing you review a "budget" pcp like the Avenger! You're absolutely right that pcps with these features at this rich point are excellent for getting people into pcp air rifles. I could buy 3 or 4 of these for the price of my Maverick! Excellent job!

You should do more of these budget reviews! Awesome ep man

Thanks Matt for the most honest and in depth review of this gun that I've seen. Unfortunately I am unable to own one here in the UK as they are over the 12ft/lbs limit that we have here but it would be on my list of I could. So I'll stick to my trusty old HW97 springer. I love the fact that I don't need an air tank an that it is easily maintainable. Love your videos , keep them coming.

I'm so glad that you reviewed the Air Venturi Avenger. Thank you! I've watched your channel for a long time now to figure out what is needed to get into PCP shooting. BTW your videos are first rate! I pulled the trigger on the purchase before your review, mine is already on the way from Pyramid Air. Your take on the economics is spot on. I didn't want to purchase an expensive rifle and a compressor together because of the cost. You know politics with the wife! I didn't want a hand pump because, although my back is much better than it was for years, I don't want to put it to the test. Thanks again for your review. You've set my mind at ease regarding my purchase. I can't wait for it show up!

Loved the review. Not the product but your honesty during all your review. This too.

Thanks for the review... Would love to see you do more of the lower end stuff. Keep up the great work.

glad to hear your thoughts on this gun. I ordered it yesterday as my first PCP. I did get it in the .25. thanks for putting this out.

Thanks for the unusual and extra-informative review. And little background music to hear thru. Fantastic.

this review has great timing for me, just ordered one on Wednesday as i was sick of waiting over 2 months for my maverick to show up

Its cool that your taking the time to step away from FX to help put this gun out there. I have the predecessors to this gun called the ATI Nova Vista Liberty/Alpha in .177 and in .22 and they have been flawless and incredibly accurate. yes...i have several other airguns that i have spent 2K$+ on yet they are not my favorites> I can take them, throw them on my quad bike and ride around and enjoy them like i can these guns. They are just s accurate out to 80 yards and on good days 100 yards. That said I'm happy to see you doing real world, average air gunner reviews again. Not everyone can afford 2K for an air gun and the support system required for them. Mad respect my friend. I really think it would be in all airgunners interests to keep our eye on Nova Vista brother, obviously they are airgun shooters. I can't wait to see what they come up with next truthfully. Looking forward to their version of a bull-pup. As always...we/I appreciate your blunt honesty and that's why we have the respect for you that we do. Honesty is real...people lie all the time to make a buck, you have maintained this attribute which keeps us glued to every word you say. Thank you for that, and God bless you for that. The truth always comes out in the end which is why so many have come undone. Always stay true my friend. Once you loose that attribute...you have lost everything.

What a wonderful review! Honest, complete and YES there are plenty of reviews out there on $1400 PCP's.

Thank you for what I have viewed as an honest review. I have subscribed to your channel due to this review alone. I'm considering this PCP for purchase. I'm not able to get hands on and feel you have given me a great visual and expectation without actually having hands on........thank you! I feel you have given a candid honest review as you see it, not trying to make the manufacturer happy but integrity to your viewers. Thanks again for this review.

It's a perfect entry level rifle! Lately everyone has been going to bigger calibers & I wanted to see if I liked shooting. 25 cal without spending thousands! And I think it was the way to go because now I have a low power gun & a high power gun ...my .177 is tuned to 19.3 ft.lbs & the .25 Avenger is at 45.5, both using Hades pellets. Thanks for the honest review! Take care!

You have convinced me, buying now.jist received this rifle, and now a friend I'd buying one, absolutely love this thing, it has opened a whole new world for me....thank you for this video.

The Avenger has a lot of high end features like the adjustable regulator. Your ability to get 60 shots from the charge was really fantastic ! The accuracy of the rifle seems to be very good too !

Thank you for a most enjoyable and useful review for this gun. After your analysis I decided to get one for pest control and fun.

Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail why high end is well worth the investment.

I just recently subscribed, i love your channel and your approach. Plus your educational vids as learning tools are great.

Thank you have made me pull the trigger and get into pcp with this rifle. Keep up the awesome videos. Gary in Texas

Well done review and description. No yelling, hyping, but reasonably educated me on the rifle.

Very nice back to basics review. Thanks Matt

So glad I got my order in on the .25 when they were in stock 2 days ago. They wont be for long after your video on it !!! :)

Greetings from England , first can i say , whot wonderful weather your having . Suntan time . boy whot a great review , full of imformation . whot a great rifle this is , a good all rounder for the price . thank you for your work ... take care .... Simon from York England

Thank you for reviewing some of the lower price airguns. There are a few that are worth a good review video.

Steve from AEAC did a much more thorough review and got much better results with pellets and slugs.

Nice and honest review Matt. It's a great budget PCP, and your correct that it has surprised a lot of people. See you at the RMAC & PAC this year. Take care.

My Avenger is in .22 and I love it. Regrettably my property doesn't allow me to reach out to 100 yds, I'm confined to no more than 75 yds. This thing is crazy accurate for me. After much experimenting with different pellets, mine really really likes the JSB HADES 15.89 gr.

Thank you so much for doing a good objective video on an entry level PCP. You're so right that a lot of people can't afford something high end but would like to get into PCP. Well done!

I appreciate this video man! I actually own two of the avengers one in .22 and the other in .25! I need to tinker with adjusting the reg pressure down a bit so I can improve my shot count and accuracy with both. They shoot a little hot out the box. Love the channel man!!! Looking forward to seeing more from you with this rifle!

Great review. I have been interested in a PCP for pest control in an area around horses where the rifle I have arent suitable. Always thought they were too expensive, but this really sits in my realm.

Very good review once again. Thanks for making it.

Thanks for the review and your hard work and I have learned alot from your videos , thanks again and God bless you and family

Matt, great vid sir. I love mine so much i now have a 22 and a 25 av need a chrony to start tuning a bit for slugs. Cant wait!

Really good review Matt like you say not every one can buy a high end gun . All the best from uk

I truly appreciate your honesty👍🏼

I trust Matt's reviews over most airgun channels. The reason being is because Matt uses them how most of us would use these air rifles for hunting and pest control not just tacking paper. I want an Avenger so I can tinker with it not ruining one of my expensive guns.

Spectacular review! I enjoyed it a lot.

Great review ,its important someone to be honest like you.

I bought myself and my son one because I heard a lot of good things about them. And I must say not bad for the price....now I just learned more about the slugs you should use....I appreciate the info 👌..keep up the good work 💪 👏🏼. Also about to buy the air venture compresser

Very useful video, Matt....thank you.

Loved this review Matt, what you said is right this will get people interested in PCP.

Such a high quality presentation.. thank you

Support your video. When I first came to South Africa, I saw your video, which made me own my first air gun, and then bought some more. I've been watching your video for three years. It's full of fun and learning a lot at the same time! It's a pity that our country doesn't allow you to hold guns. I hope you can come to South Africa more often and make such excellent videos all the time.

Mate i am a high end pcp user, but i totally agree with you on this gun. What a great gun for the sport of pcp shooting. It will open the sport up to so many people. Well done mate

Wow I just found this vid , don’t know how I missed. It was refreshing to see an Airgun god as yourself to make a video of a gun that is 1500 to 3000 dollars cheaper than some of the ones you own lol .I got in the pcp world with my nova freedom . I am just getting to want to do some valve work , change hammer spring , drill out high power side of power adjuster ,knob ,drill out air inlet on barrel and air outport hole to what goes to the barrel .the freedom has been in my hands for exactly 3 years so far , never had any problems with anything until a few months ago. I double load a heavy slug , ended up bending lever to probe connecting arm then breaking it in half and slightly bending the pellet probe. I just got the cousin to the nova liberty, vista and freedom and the famous air venturies avenger and aspen line which some claim a mind improvement to the ati novas . The novas have the better one piece valve block , heart of the rifle . The upgrade to both of these is the newest addition , the Umarex Origin !!!! It has the heart , the valve body of the AV avenger type , the cheaper made , I think not as durable and long lasting of the novas . While taking both rifles apart I noticed the barrel input and output air holes on the Origin is slightly drill a little bigger. This accounts for the 100 FPS gain over the two other models. The hammer spring seems much harder than my 3 yr old nova’s also. The thing I love about most is the AirTunes constant pressure in the origin ,gives better performance of shots and is easier to pump with the included Umarex air pump all at 299 plus tax !!! The accuracy from 0 to 100 yards is really amazing I also like fun trick shots from 1 to 150 yards and am trying to really learn the 200 plus yard style of shooting . The RU-vid channel “Air Velocity Sports “ shows how to modify for power , much more power , and build wooden stocks for them . He also talks about and uses parts from dark charisma “ DUY” which is awesome I have read for his upgrades ! I want to thank you Airgod for showing us your human side of us entry level pcp shooters lol ….you are truly a master at what you do brother !!! I am glad to be a long time subscriber of yours , GOD bless you and your channel !!!!

Amazing honest review ❤️❤️

Matt, you were my second love (after Kenny...rip) when I discovered airguns in 2017. Back then you were shooting apples and eggs out the back of your truck in a field next to a stream and I was hooked! Alas you quickly became sophisticated and while I was buying $200 break barrels and $400 pcp's you were moving into $2000 & $3000 airguns. I wasn't and had to move onto SG, AEAC and some of the other 'common man' suitors :) While I still watch your very informative mil/moa instructions, your AOA bench rest reports, and other common info videos. I just couldn't relate to the fx guns, smooth twist, 500/700m barrel world. I wish I would of just saved up for an fx seven airguns ago but I am now looking forward to ordering the Avenger. This will allow me (my way too many hobbies) grandkids, fishing, golfing all in addition to airgunning. Really appreciate the trip back to the old Matt...thanks

Looked into these and did a lot of research because I thought it might be a good addition to my guns I use for pesting. The more I found out especially from people who already own one the more I decided to wait. There are just too many issues popping up and the less than great features you mentioned. The people who have one that works they work well but many are having leaks, loose stocks are other problems that shouldn't exist in a brand new gun. I might look at them again in a year or so and see if it is sorted out.

I love mine, gave it a paint job, been shooting it out to 133 yards, it's nice. Appreciate the vid on the budget gun.

I pump mine to 300 bar without a issue it’s not a walk in the park but it’s more than doable NSA .217 20.2g slugs hold .75” groups at 100 with optimal conditions of course this gun is a beast

Thank you mate for sharing the INTEL

Great review..i love watching your videos.

Great review. Great price. I'm very happy with my CZ200 .177 for backyard shooting. The 10-Shot adapter makes it great. 13.5fps with JSB Hades.

Great job representing us common folks... down to the crappy cardboard box targets... Keeping it real as always!

Matt, thank you for doing a review on the Avenger. It is rare that someone of your stature in any realm, would do a review for those who could not afford high end products. that being said I do enjoy shooting my Avenger .22. The Donny FL barrel adapter and moderator are a wonderful addition to this rifle. I find the Neilson Specialty Ammo Slug 23gr .217 shoot especially well in my barrel. I would love to try the Patriot's but not yet available in the states. no this gun is not of the same quality of my Impact mk2, but my 15 year old Daughter shoots my Avenger with near the same groups as me and my Impact at 50 yards! so it is a great family friendly shooter! I am very pleased with all of what this gun offers at such a ridiculously low price point. great review, thank you Matt.

Thanks Matt, realistic review.

I should add that since making this video, I have learned that the breech is not plastic, but rather metal coated in plastic. Why anyone would coat something in plastic, I don’t know🤔 But good to know that it is solid underneath. Same thing goes for the scope rail, but I would still recommend using picatinny instead of dovetail.

Thank you. Was very excited when this gun came out and Ted B. was also. Have a Gauntlet as my starting point in pcp, then bought the FX Wildcat mk2. Can’t go back to entry level after shooting the mk2. If I was starting out, would choose the Avenger over the Gauntlet. Really considering the Maverick 22 for my next addition. Would love to see a full comparison of the Maverick to the Impact to help make my decision. Enjoy your videos.

A step down into reviewing a budget PCP is a huge thumbs up!! I would absolutely love to see you do a honest review on the umarex gauntlet 2.

Excellent review, I would never have bought this gun using "you get what you pay for" but now I might, thank you.

I real like my Avengers .22 and .25. Thanks for your input.

It's been 8 months since I last wrote here I absolutely love the .25 Air Venturi bullpup. I've since bought an AEA 9mm pro along with the .30 FX Dreamline bullpup I love them all and am not sorry I spent all that money on these guns, I just wished I knew about PCP more before I bought my 5 break barrels.

Excellent presentation .

Got one in 25 caliber and love it. Paid US $ 250 18 months ago in Argentina.

Matt, thanks for reviewing this gun. Your opinion means a bunch!! I hope you'll consider doing a follow up after tuning the gun. Thank you

Thanks Mate. Great review.

Great review, mate.

I've just ordered the Air Venturi .25 bullpup and can't wait to shoot it.

Matt, Thank you for taking the time to go through this in a very rational and realistic manner. I did purchase an Avenger in .22 and have never looked back. Using mostly Hades for rats on a dairy farm which it does famously with. The slug end of things for me is yet to come as I have difficulty changing a good thing.....anyway I now have yet another credible opinion that says go for it! My best to you sir.

Nice job! Good yo see this content 😁

If you stuff a piece of cloth in the stock, it really goes a long way to make the rifle feel more solid and adds to a quality feel. The end of the stock comes off with ease. I also added some "duct seal" to the front stock pieces and now it literally feels like a totally different rifle with very little added weight.

THANK YOU ! I enjoyed the video.

A comparison between the Gauntlet and the Avenger, both entry level PCP's and close in price, may be quite an informative video.

Success is always for chanel Mrs. Bang, I from indonesia

All the videos I've seen on you tube of this rifle's accuracy and power has been unbelievable....in fact tiny little groups out to 75yds....not bad for a budget rifle!

I love mine. Your the opinions carry more weight to me.

I was torn between Avenge-x and fx dreamline but you cleared the air with this video. Im sure they shoot great but quality is down for me , to many plastic parts. That's the problem with buying on line I guess. What a great real world review, thanks bro.

I learned so much from watching this video thank you.

Oddly, just four months after this review comes a review of the wood stock version, with no substantial drawbacks regarding needing a silencer - it has its own internal barrel to shroud built in. Plus it shooys same-hole groups! Fantastic. For shooting freehand the 'hollow plastic' stock saves over a pound of weight which is important. I find the "I'll never use it" commenty about the Safety so arrogant I almost quit the video right there. Then I realized that arrogance is the theme of this channel, so I might as well get thru it since I won't be returning.

Excellent Mat

Matt- I used to hand pump my guns. The Hatsan at 44 had a similar size air res, 35 strokes on the pump would take it from off the reg to full in about a minute. BTW it was just as accurate as my Cricket.

thank U!! great reflexion about that rifle. regards

I still love to shoot my springers.... I have the Impact MK2 and really enjoy shooting it. Quite accurate....

Bravo!!!, good explanation!!

I just bougght a Daystate Revere as an upgrade from an Umarex Gauntlet that I extensively modified. That being said I am going to get me an Avenger as a dedicated 40 foot pound slug gun. They now sell it with a wood stock and I think that will be a nice improvement.

我们不让玩pcp。 但是有一群热爱pcp的人，还是在默默的奉献付出着。并且制作管的能力也很棒。我们缺的是机会 ，不是技能和经验。

Thanks for real world review.

Fairly new to air, had an American Classic .177 I found in a trash can and fixed. Secondly, bought a 2240XL pistol that is basically useless without sights (I put a laser on it) and you needed steel fingers to pull that trigger! I'm a pack rat, so I dug in my spring collection, found a lighter one that fit and hanged if it ain't nearly a hair trigger now! Sounds like the Avenger could use that mod too, but you're shooting quite well! Recently bought a Diana Stormrider rifle for my entry level and a laser plus 4x9-40 scope and I put the toys away!
