No cocking a bolt or side lever, and more importantly, no making any noise scaring your prey for a quick follow-up shot or even a 2nd pest to shoot at. Also, the reduction of cycle time and lightning fast repeatable shots. Very appealing. However, I kind of like the idea of a bolt or side lever action PCP for hunting and would almost feel like this is going to make hunting too easy. I am half-kidding of course, but I am just curious as to how you other guys think about this when you are small game hunting with your traditional bolt action or side lever PCPs. Thanks,As a left handed shooter, i see this as a huge plus. Long guns arent easy to cycle with the bolt/lever on the right side. A semi-auto allows quick follow upshots no matter the shooting hand. Thats a very good point! I might have to put that in the sales listing.

I might have to put that in the sales listing.i believe i copyrighted that sentence. however, a small discount on a .25 would keep the lawyers away

Quote from: mcoulter on October 17, 2018, 02:38:54 PMI wonder if this rifle is semi-auto ONLY... or does it have a single shot only "mode"? It does look like the normal-ish sidelever there. You can shoot it using the sidelever only but I don't see why when you can shoot it one shot at a time just pulling the trigger.

Big question is, are they light enough so I can fire two at the same time?
One thing I would like are bigger mags to go with the automation. I'm thinking large FX mag types here.

The new guns should be compatable with the older mags I would think,those doubles are pretty coolhttps://www.pyramydair.com/product/evanix-dual-mag-fits-evanix-pcp-guns-177-cal-26rds?a=4028
Will you be getting any .30 cal? Very interested in that rifle,as that is my most used caliber.
Yep, I think I'm in for a .17 if they ever make it to the US.
