By thomas from USA on 2010-12-05 09:01:29 Things I liked:As an avid firearm owner for many years, I have come to appreciate fine quality in guns. After buying and returning 3 of 4 guns from Pyramid, I finally figured out that "cheap" would not satisfy me. The Evanix line attracted me with its remarkable appearance and specs. I love the look, shape, and feel of the awesome walnut stock. After a couple of treatments with Gunstock Polish & Re-finisher, the wood has a very elegant satin look. The finish on the metal parts is also excellent. The side cocking lever is so smooth and easy to actuate, especially when compared to the Benjamin Marauder, that rapid fire is quite easy. I am able to shoot 4 magazines (40 rounds) B4 pressure drops under 100bar and recharging is necessary. The refill process is quick and easy with the nice probe connection to the reservoir. The gun weight seems just about right. Not too heavy to hold freehand but heavy enough for a stable shooting platform. OVERALL: A piece to be proud of and enjoy for years down the road.Things I would have changed:The pressure gauge is not well "printed" with the readings and I would prefer "pounds" to "bar" markings. Just a preference, so that it read similarly to the gauge on the scuba adapter. BTW, why are the adapters so chincy with the hose length. Twice as long would be miles more convenient. What others should know:The magazines are a bit difficult to remove due to the double ball bearing mounting system. Loading is easy enough the access to pressing the cartridge out of the receiver is tight. Probably just something I need to get used to. It is made up for with the ten shot loads. Nicely manufactured magazines. Solid - all metal, not like the flimsy plastic ones for the Benjy Marauder. I bought 3 extras to be able to shoot a full air charge (5 magazines in all) with different types of pellets for shooting comparisons.. |  |

- Things I liked:Perfect size and wight, looks nice, powerful, reasonable quality for the price, i highly recommend this air rifle.
Things I would have changed:The clip magazine "stuck" not turning smoothly when you load it some times, need to improve. Also the sound is loud comparison with other pcps air rifle. - Things I liked:As an avid firearm owner for many years, I have come to appreciate fine quality in guns.

What others should know:wait on this one till some of these things are done.just call PA and ask if they ever worked on one? if they have a diagram or parts book.they are the ones you will goe to for parts - Things I liked:Beautiful stock, just the right length, light, quiet, Well balanced, pretty accurate & very powerful. Mine was shooting nearly 50fpe in stock form. 30 good powerful shots per fill. Adjustable butt pad. Very good trigger.
Things I would have changed:Magazines need to be made a little bigger to accept large skirt pellet better, get rid of the fill probe & add a foster fitting like the Marauder. Add a valve metering screw to fine tune rifles use of air.
What others should know:Mine arrived with minor faults. Manometer was DOA. Stock inletting could be a bit better. Magazine diameter may be a bit small for large skirted pellets. - Things I liked:The stock is beautiful, the weight is perfect as well as the length. The lever is super smooth to operate. Power! this rifle has it if you want it. Mine was shooting nearly 50fpe in stock form. Shot count is between 20 & 30 shots depeding on what power level it's set at. Yep, you read right, it also has a power adjuster. Oh & did I mention it's very, very quiet......... Accuracy is 1 hole @ 30 yards.
Things I would have changed:Inletting needs to be cleaned up a bit & magazines don't accomodate larger diameter skirts on pellets.CommentsBy stephen from USA on 2010-07-17 0 
Hey Scott,I have a rainstorm and can you tell me where the power adjustment is on the gun.. Thanx Stephan

Things I would have changed:I have had the gun only a few months, but I love everything about it. If they had a .25 caliber gun, I would be the first to buy it. I had an extra O-ring put in the magazines to hold the pellets more snug by a gunsmith in NC who is awesome with these Korean guns, and he also made the gun even more quiet and reduced the trigger pull to 1.5 lbs.
What others should know:I did develop a slight air leak after a full fill, but was amazingly simple for me to fix with a new O-ring at base of air tube. No problems since. Also buy the O-rings that Pyramyd sells for the fill adapter, as you may need those with your fill adapter in the future - they are not expensive and you get enough that should last a while.
