Title: RAINSTORM II initial impression and #s
Post by: Nomadic Pirate on March 08, 2013, 07:09:26 PM

Fit and finish excellent, nice proportions and the gun balances and shouldrs great.

out of the BOX, 130 FPE for the all 7 rounds Magazine.

By the time will is done with the tune this will be one *(&^ of a hunting gun.

Wow, I'm excited now  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Very nice Manny, I may have to buy me one of those ugly suckers after all.  Did he say how loud it was and if he can work any majic in the shroud?
Title: Re: RAINSTORM II initial impression and #s
Post by: Nomadic Pirate on March 08, 2013, 07:44:06 PM
yes he can work on the shroud, he can even slide it forward a bit, but I told him I want to keep my gun short,...he mentioned that isn't all that bad factory anyway

The rainstorm ll is sweet. I was looking at the Custom made Haleys they are nice but they don't take regular pellets. This concerns me.

People are free to buy whatever they want to buy ,therefore: To everyone their own.
Congrats man, 130fpe is some serious power stock.
post some accuracy test when you get the chance brother!
Title: Re: RAINSTORM II initial impression and #s
Post by: oakey on March 09, 2013, 09:36:42 AM
Tiger of course taste is taste and anyone can buy and shot what they like. From the passion that Manny displays about PCP air guns I know he has researched and found exactly what he is looking for an animal of air rifle. He dropped some serious coin to buy and tune this gun. Congrats. And please post the number, the accuracy as well as Kill pics which there will be many  ;D.

I also have to say when I first saw the Air Force Guns Condor and Talon I thought they were Ugly as a tree root but they grew on me and I think they are real sweet. Look at me my fiance loves me and I is ugly as heck!

By the way when Will Piatt tunes one of these Animals say a Windy City, Rainstorm or Storm ll how much does the power increase? Does the accuracy increase as well?

My Rainstorm II .25 is sitting at UPS about 10 minutes from me.  I called today and tried to talk them into letting me pick it up at the building, no dice.  So I guess I will have to wait until Monday  :-[

I tested it Saturday it seemed to reflect the numbers these guns are supposed to shoot. But nothing beats a Chrony.

That's who has my Rainstorm. I had heard good things about Will & after speaking with him, I see why people like him. Very nice & the man knows his business.

Oaks

Will is sending her out tomorrow, so I would say by Monday I'll have her.

Apparently the factory tune is all it's needed on the .357 model, they did their homework on this gun.

it's a 120 FPE gun with the 71gr Roundball and 130 FPE gun with the 93gr EPP/UG

so somewhere in between with the 78gr JSB pellet, Pyramyd don't have any in stock so testing could not be done with them.

Manny that's great.is it true that you have to take off the external covering to reload it?

Oakey
Title: Re: RAINSTORM II initial impression and #s
Post by: JPowell490 on March 14, 2013, 04:22:15 PM
Oak,

I highly doubt that.  It has a magazine just like the other Evanix.  I would see no reason that you have to remove the cover.  It is a repeater, just like the normal Rainstorm.
Title: Re: RAINSTORM II initial impression and #s
Post by: ronbeaux on March 14, 2013, 05:58:36 PM
What kind of eyeballs you thinking about putting on it Many? I put the True Glow reflex on mine and I dont like it so I ordered a scope for. A 2-7x32, just enough to see at the ranges I will shoot.

Let me know about the trigger too when you get it back. I can see plenty of room for improvement for it without too much trouble.
Title: Re: RAINSTORM II initial impression and #s
Post by: Nomadic Pirate on March 14, 2013, 07:36:21 PM
Rob, Will took the trigger down to 2 # and says it's super sweet now.

I'll top her with either a 2-7x32 Leapers, or a swat 3-12x44 Leaper, we'll see what feels better :)
