Congrats,

Congrats on the new shooter. Try the H&N FTT 5.53  They give me one ragged hole at 25 yards with 5 shots

You are going to really like it. As a carbine it is light, shoots good with the H & N FTT 5.53 diameter pellets, as mentioned in a previous post, and is plain fun to shoot. I have one and it is a great shooter. In it's stock configuration/tune it shoots the FTT's at a low of 613FPS with a peak of 642FPS and by the 24th shot it is back to 610 FPS. That is with a starting fill of 2500PSI and and ending PSI of 1700 or so. I know that are tweaks to get more out of it, but the faster you get that pellet to go the more "Pop" you are going to get at the muzzle.

Have fun when you get it. ;D

I always worry after I pay for something.  I hate it when I spend a lot of money and get a $)((#.

I would look at the AR6 Pistol I had all of them but the Maurader and TalonP are gone, the AR6 stays :)

Perfect choice. Watch these videos that Cliff did.

Hope I didn't make a mistake!!!!!!!

Here is mine. This gun may top my fun factor with all of my PCPs. I find JSB Exacts slightly outperform the FTTs 5.53s even at 50 yards. An incredibly accurate small gun from a bench rest.

Melvin I think your going to like it a lot. I wasnt sure but after looking into it and speaking with grumpy I got one. I love this one, its quiet dead on, easy to shoot and just plain cool. The only thing I have done was put on a gaska brake and it is VERY quiet. Dont worry.

The AR6 by Evanix is just butt-ugly, imo...the prod is easily packed, powerful and aesthetically pleasing with the ability to go carbine.

Agree that the AR6 is butt Ugly Indeed :) ...but strictly for use as a Pistol, it's much, much better Balanced

Definitely a function over form piece.

I may need one of those too. Different purpose though. Can't have too many guns.

Post by: jimmie lee on April 15, 2012, 11:27:02 PM
I will say, the Evanix does embody what a pistola is with no fuzzy lines between pistol/rifle. As for too many guns...never enough!
