Jkhan or Evanix

[Backyard Airgunner]

Statistically which platform is more accurate?  I'm looking for the one that can do 1" or better at 100 yards.   I'm looking at either the Jkhan Noblessa or the Evanix Hunting Master K550, and a few others but I'm really interested in those two right now.  Any preference and why?  Thanks

I highly doubt that those guns are MOA capable - at least I have yet to see a MOA capable Korean gun. If you want 1" groups at 100Y you should look at some other brands. Out of those two I'd get the JKHan as the Hunting Master series have seriously poor triggers, JKHan triggers can be made rather decent.

Well that stinks.  Thanks for the info.  It is what it is I guess.  I have a few other airguns in mind hopefully one of them will work out, thanks again for the info.

Koreans aren't designed to be top of the line target shooters, are more geared towards being Lean, Mean, Powerful Hunters

Where would you get the Hunting Master 550 at anyway, never heard it being imported in the US.

Nomadic Pirate:  I am planning on hunting with which ever airgun I end up with but only wood chuck size critters at about 70 yards or so.  Just want o be able to plink out to 100 or more too. 

There is a store in Canada that has the K550 for less than $700 American.  While I didn't go through with the order I did see if they would ship it and they gave me a price to ship to NY.  Might not when all is said and done but I was hopeful.  If interested I will pm you the info.

If you are serious about that 100Y then start by the caliber and choice of ammo. Bullets are better than pellets but bullet shooting guns are rather expensive and have poor shot count due to required power. If going for pellets my favorite would be .25 as those JSB King Heavies have about the best BC of all pellets making it least sensitive to wind. Mind you regular Kings are not bad either. Then would be the choice of the gun, this site should give you some ideas of what works in the real world: http://www.100mairgun.nl/ If you want to tinker a bit BSA is a great and reasonably priced choice but in factory tune it lacks power so you need to adjust it a bit. A new entry in that list is RAW and those guns seem to do quite well as they come from factory while having a good reputation - certainly worth considering. While there are FX guns on the list they seem to vary wildly on accuracy, I've seen some quite poorly shooting ones + the ST barrels long range accuracy is debated so personally I'd skip them. Edgun is also on the list but IMO bullpup form of a gun is not the best for BR shooting. I'd also give some consideration to the Flex, while it is a new gun it seems very promising as far as construction and accuracy goes.

Thank you for the info rkr.   Right now I don't have the kind of cash to drop on those bench rest competition style airguns, wish I did though.  What I'm leaning towards is getting a Condor in 0.22 and then getting a 0.257 barrel and having some fun with it.  Some of those bench rest guns are quite beautiful and maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to own one.

No personal experience on Condor but I know those guns can be made to work very well. It just takes quite a lot of parts and TLC. .257 is excellent choice for long range shooting.
