What is the best pcp for my needs

[TheBigLebowski]

Still not sure, im throwing 1200 on my card and ordering... one of the guns in this thread.

If you have a reason as to why it should be one or the other, i don't mind hearing it.

Well, I mentioned the Hatsan AT44S-10 but for the power, the BT65-10 will do the trick. More power. VERY accurate!!!! Ask Gene or see his review.

Here is what it comes down to.

Evanix Rainstorm II .22 750 new, free 2 day shipping

Or the Airforce condor .22 675 new, free 2 day  530 used with free 2 day shipping and lifetime warranty

Which is the best deal for the money?

[ezman604]

My vote would be for the Rainstorm.
Multishot, lever action. Neither fits your exact listed requirements though. But the Condor is a single shot and is LOUD. Would most definitely need some additional attention to be back yard friendly.
But it's surely a sweet looking airgun.
The Rainstorm is a wood stock but a nice multi-shot full shroud barreled beast. I like it!!!!

[grumpy]

Condor without a shroud is .22lr loud ! I Rainstorm is nice but who has them in stock. Thought they are still being redesigned.

Evanix hands down in my book.  Repeater is a plus; traditional nice looking rifle; has great power.  But if your into space age look..............go AF.  But they are single shooters which I don't care for too much. 

It all comes down to personal preference and you have to decide but either would serve you well.

Rainstorm Not even a question about it !!!!
the Rainstorm is a wanderfull little rifle.

Incorrect.

The Rainstorm is the same exact gun as it has being for years, just using the new Magazines now, and those since they have being produced in alluminum have being bomb proof

Condor in .25 cal and rainstorm !!You should get both!The condor is a power house!

[Plekto]

I'd get the Marauder in .25.  The barrel is made by Green Mountain and is essentially at the level of a good custom firearm barrel.  Way, way better than the .22 in accuracy and efficiency.

This leaves you a lot of money left over for a scope, a tank, and fittings.  Plus a pump if you want.

Once you handle a Rainstorm and pick up a Maurader, you feel like just throwing it away, LOL

the small Rainstorm is a pleasure to handle compared to the Bulcky Maurader, and the Rainstorm in .22 has more power and better shot count than the Maurader . 25

[lastedtiger]

lol,here is a pict to compare the rainstorm to the marauder !!The marauder has a light trigger and is a bit quietter than the rainstorm!!Those 2 can't be compared to the condor,sorry!

[badredbird]

i wouldve gotten a sumatra, i have a maurader and i have a purpose , light varmint in the yard, but if its between those 2 , manny knows these guns , i would grab the rainstorm even tho ive never owned , i heard nothing but great things

[grumpy]

Ok, but who has the Rainstorms in stock. Only place I could find one is PA and only in .177

Price point wise the Marauder .25 beats them out.  Refinement wise you better go Rainstorm.  If your really wanting to sink some cashola wait for the new Daystate Wolverine .303 caliber which will put all others to shame!  120 ft./lbs. energy in a pellet!   Okay okay I am way off base from your question

However, your bank account will hate you.

In all seriousness, get the Rainstorm bank account permitting.

[TheBigLebowski]

The rainstorm is still not in stock, but, the deed is done.

I went with the Airforce Condor .22 , hill pump, a nice leupold, eun jin heavies, and kodiak copper plated pellets just for kicks.

As for my budget, well what the old lady don't know, won't hurt er'.


As for why i picked it, i love that fact that its modular, synthetic, hard hitting, can be multicaliber, and its TactiCool.

And its made in the U.S.A

[grumpy]

I hope they don't change the expected date on the rainstorms again. I got tired of waiting after they changed it 3 or 4 times..

Air Force is awesome.   They are one of the oldest companies still making PCP guns and accessories, so they really are fantastic at that they do.  Personally I think it's the best built and designed PCP from an engineering standpoint, but one does have to overlook the fact that the guys making it are evidently quite aesthetically challenged.

Built like it came right out of a machine shop.  Unfortunately, looks like it too

But they do shoot very very well.
