Things I liked:

The simplicity of design is nice... weight is key. Shoots just fine. Handles heavier, longer, ammo which shoots well and impresses the target nicely...

Things I would have changed:

The QC could be better - My gun came with a blemish on the powder coated shroud. Small but still not happiness. The grip - I ordered a custom grip from Indignant Arms... high quality. The OEM grip is not of good quality and again the QC could be better. Once I removed the factory grip and tried to reinstall it the grip did not go back properly. I had to take a file and adjust the slot to allow it to seat proper. The butt plate & fill hole - the butt plate needs to be removed to access the fill hole... Unscrew it every time. TEDIOUS. A detente and quick disconnect would allow for easier refill and orient the the butt plate back correctly every time. I modified the butt plate using a quick release from a scope mount... not a bad solution but a factory one would be better. Finally... the trigger adjustment... .89mm Allen key!... ridiculous! Make it bigger or include one with the gun... it's a joke but not a funny ha ha joke.

What others should know:

The proper fill for this gun is a question mark of sorts... The fill gauge goes to red at 200 bar... the owner's manual says fill to 220 bar... the gun itself is marked 250 bar. Hmmmmm... So I asked the question to Pyramyd and Evanix... Pyramyd played it safe and said follow the owner's manual. Evanix on the other other hand said nothing... The after sale support from Evanix is non-existent (or maybe just on a two+ week delay... ha ha). I don't mind the challenges and can do the little stuff so the gun is fine... if you want fit and finish and high quality materials throughout directly out of the box maybe not the gun for you.

    Things I liked:

    Fit and finish are still solid after 500 shots, same with all components. Accurate to small game level at 70 yards but could go far beyond. Fairly easy to hand pump if your in semi decent shape. Light and compact with the ability to take up to large game. A great addition to a bug out kit.

    Things I would have changed:

    Ditch the fill probe, this bad boy eats o-rings like a real rex . Invest in 5mm by 2mm

    What others should know:

    Order from here, had a problem early on with a leak and got superior customer service. Their advice did work but they said I couldn't use my hand pump and I totally did. Great low maintenance big bore.

    Things I liked:

    Lets start with this, I ordered a .45 cal and when the box arrived it was a .357 cal in a 45 box. Talk about bummed, But PA team got on it and I had a replacement .45 cal within 3 days GREAT JOB PA TEAM!. Now this is an very good rifle, the weight is very good could carry all day without issue, It packs a punch I started with 200 grain and took it to 280 grain and this thing will bring down some heavy game. Very accurate to 85 yards start to see groups open a bit after that. If you have been wanting one buy it, you will not be disappointed.

    Things I would have changed:

    Chamfer the probe holes I was only able to insert probe a couple of times before they started to shred. Had to replace them i keep lots of spares. Evanix when you ship do the customer a solid and provide the actual barrel dia. It would be much easier ordering pellets, my barrel is actually .455 I have friends who is .457 So heads up Evanix. Utilize the excess space in the barrel shroud for baffles like some of the Hatsans Better Grip

    What others should know:

    You should really consider having your bore dia. checked. I ordered pellets but due to inconsistencies in the pellets many would not fit. I you measure you the right size fit for a good seal. Buy spare fill probe o-rings I get 5mm x 9mm the probe works perfect now. Buy lots of pellets my first round at the range lasted 3 hours the last hour having a crowd behind me wanting to shoot it.

    Things I liked:

    1st impression the gun looks and feels nice,lighter than most but nice weight. The finish looks great

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing as of now haven't shot yet. I paid for the 10 for 10 any some at PA forgot put everything back in the box. Only gun and shot card no instructions/manual missing the cover for the fill port and no fill probe. So all I can do is look at it until PA sends everything, probably 3 more weeks. No more 10for10 I'll test it myself.

    What others should know:

    The gun seems to be built well. Will update in a few weeks hopefully. I havent sgot yet so 3 stars until then

    Things I liked:

    Very powerful and compact. Great for hunting in the woods. The Evanix Rex .357 is also great because it can be filled with a hand pump.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    The gun is different than the picture shows. The barrel is even all the way down. This gun might be small but it packs a large punch going through 2x4s no problem.

    Things I liked:

    Light weight, powerful, accurate, quality design (did I mention POWERFUL !!!?).

    Things I would have changed:

    Trigger adjustment is a little tricky. Owner's manual needs more detail.

    What others should know:

    This rifle is a real hammer with lead slugs, plenty of oomf for small to medium size game. Quality of workmanship and simplicity of design are evident throughout and costs $100's less than the other rifle from Texas!

    Things I liked:

    plenty of power, super accurate, lighter than expected. bought to hunt alligator in the Louisiana swamps... exceeds the expectations! would recommend as a go to hunting rifle.

    Things I would have changed:

    ...be able to interchange air reservoir to different sizes ie. more or less shots... would like to see more fps and fpe ratings with different pellets listed for the gun on website. it would make pellet to application selection easier for people who don't have a chronograph or don't have time/money to try them all.

    What others should know:

    the gun i received and what is pictured on the website is not the same. i believe i received a Rex kt or at least the barrel... it is much shorter than the specs say. the box was wrinkled and torn like maybe the rifle was used or opened or a display. It was definitely not "new". I'm not upset but would have liked to know if it was a floor/display model before i purchased.

    Things I liked:

    Very, very powerful lightweight rifle. Very accurate!

    Things I would have changed:

    The DB is 103.3 which means this rifle is not backyard friendly. And it would be great if Evanix can do something such as design a built in silencer in the future.

    What others should know:

    This is a big boy hunters rifle and not a target practice rifle.

    This thing is accurate and lays down a thump even at 100yds.

    Things I liked:

    This air gun is a great size and weight it has a decent amount of power and is made well. The power is pretty consistent and the price is great

    Things I would have changed:

    There are a few things I would change one of those would be the fact that there is no place to put a tripod. It is possible but you must be be creative as well as handy. The trigger is definitely stiff and take some getting used to but not so bad. I owned the airrifle for only a week And it broke,of course it will be fixed and replaced for free but it is a inconvenience having to ship it back. The air reservoir is very small you can only get five maybe six shots before it must be refilled, so in a hunting situations thats fine but when target practicing it can be a little monotonous!

    What others should know:

    Overall it is a decent gun for the money. I believe that the handle was just me having some bad luck Im sure by the looks of the rest of the airgun the quality Inn which it was made it was just bad luck.

    Things I liked:

    Good power and light weight. Not too loud for what it is more of a loud POP than a BANG.

    Things I would have changed:

    So far so good still sighting it in a bit but it seems to like my 200 grain .452 homemade rounds at 35 yards.

    What others should know:

    Hey evanix for almost $700 put in a wrench to take the butt plate off. I mean come on what is it like 55 cents for one.

    Things I liked:

    Power, accuracy, compact, light and ease of use. This is very accurate i use jsb 81.01, and cast 100 hollow point and looking to use the predator poly mag. but with the 2 i use i can group shots @ 50 yards to under .5"

    Things I would have changed:

    need a larger cylinder"bottle" like the fa has. Trigger could be refined a little to be smoother

    What others should know:

    This rifle has tons of power for its size. Great shooting gun. Even with the few negatives there are the positives out weigh them.

    Things I liked:

    Very accurate so farr to 50'. Lots of power with 100gr cast hollow points. Cant wait to get 100yds out. Has a solid 6-7solid consistant accurate shots per fill. Also looks awsome.

    Things I would have changed:

    Trigger is hard unless you pull apart and polish. Very touchy trigger is mis adjusted. I pulled mine apart modified and polished.....perfect for me

    Things I liked:

    I bought a refurbished .25 cal that saved me $104. I don't know what the problem was that caused the gun to be refurbished but the gun performs GREAT. The trigger is smooth and not gritty. The shroud seems to be quieting the shots as compared to my .357 Rex. My shooting so far has been indoors at 30ft. I shot a 72gr Lyman 257420 cast bullet at 3200psi and got the following velocities for 5 shots. 789 - 772 - 759 - 742 - 713. The outside dia of the group was .40". The 257420 has been my best performing bullet so far. The best pellet hands down is the EJ 43gr. At 2950psi I got the following velocities for 5 shots, 865 - 863 - 861 - 856 - 847. The outside dia of the group was .42". I've read posts on the Internet where the Rex .25 owners were not all that happy with the gun and planned on all kinds of modifications. I plan NONE for my .25.

    Things I would have changed:

    On my .357 the trigger is terrible. It has a bad effect on accuracy.

    What others should know:

    The Rex is a great gun for testing different bullets/pellets and finding out what air pressure works best for each of them with a chronograph. It can be a never ending source of experimentation and entertainment.

    Things I liked:

    LIGHT WEIGHT, FAIRLY POWERFULL

    Things I would have changed:

    GRITTY HARD TRIGGER PULL, LARGER AIR CYLINDER, BETTER FITTING TO FILL CYLINDER, O-RINGS ON ADAPTER STARTED LEAKING AFTER THE 10TH FILL, THEY WERE CUT BY THE HOLE THE ADAPTER FITS IN.

    What others should know:

    WITH 81GR JSB THE1ST SHOT AT 3000 FILL IS ABOUT 840 FPS, AND 2" HIGH .AFTER THAT EACH SHOT LOSES ABOUT 20 FPS, MOST STAYING INSIDE 2" AT 50YDS. YOU GET 6 TO 8 GOOD SHOTS AFTER THE 1ST, STRINGING VERTICALLY. AT ABOUT 80 BAR ON THE GAUGE (WHICH IS NOT VERY ACCURATE) IT WILL DROP AROUND 2" FOR EVERY SHOT. I DID SHOT IT WITH 158GR HARD CAST BULLETS, IT GROUPED 2" AT 50YDS FOR 3 SHOTS 5" LOWER THAN THE JSB AT ABOUT 650 FPS. NOT BAD FOR THE PRICE WILL MAKE AN OKAY SHORT RANGE HUNTER. THE TRIGGER DOSE GET LESS GRITTY WITH USE, NOT HURTING MY FINGER AS BAD AFTER 200 SHOTS.
