Hmm, this thread is a good warning for me to stay away from evanix... so much money for a gun with so many problems ... what a shame! Looks awesome though!

Post some groups when you can please!

Cheers!

LOL, if you look at it that way than you'll never buy High end rifles like Edgun, FX, Cricket,......those have by far more reports of failures, I tested a friend .25 Cricket and it was a true lemon, Edguns and Crickets rods are breaking left and right, FX guns are leaking all over the place and those are 2 GRAND guns,...it just Happens

Percentages is what it's need to look upon, How many trubble free rifles out there there is, Evanix has a pretty darn good track record

TriggerHappyDude · « **Reply #102 on:** February 14, 2014, 06:37:41 PM »

I've got an FX Cyclone, about 2000 shots or so down the way and problem free

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #103 on:** February 14, 2014, 08:07:36 PM »

Exactly my point,
I have 6 Evanix and had one of the originals, with probably 10.000 rounds each down the barrels, all problem free

FX is probably the Brand that you hear has the most problems overall, All kinds of problems with the Revos, Indipendence, now the Bobcats,....still can't say you'll never buy one, it's all about percentages

wwonka · « **Reply #104 on:** February 14, 2014, 08:24:37 PM »

Two Evanix Rainstorms for a long time, shot a lot, no issues.

Rdsail · « **Reply #105 on:** February 14, 2014, 08:32:57 PM »

if you read the forums you will find that just as many problems with the evanix than the FX if not much more. Personally, I would get a FX any day before a evanix. Don't take me wrong, I think they are great hunting guns. I would never put them a par with an FX on accuracy (Generally speaking). That does not mean that there are very accurate evanix out there.

I guess I'm also biased because I find most tacs and Bullpups (no matter who makes them) to be the ugliest things around. Just happen that evanix make lots of them.

I guess I would go saying statements about any gun or gun brand without real data to back it up.

Of course FX is a better gun than Evanix, nobody has ever tried to compare the 2, but, again that's the point,
Man you go back and FX is gotta be the one brand with most problems, but than again all brands have problems, from The Indy to now the Bobcats is almost a weekly report, that don't make them a bad brand

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #107 on:** February 14, 2014, 09:06:51 PM »

I would never, ever nor I ever did put Evanix on par with Kalibur, Edguns or FX,....just saying those guns that are twice the price have all kinds of problems too, probably more

Rdsail · « **Reply #108 on:** February 14, 2014, 09:44:41 PM »

I do realize, and this goes for any application, when you increase the number of parts and movable parts there is a significant increase in chances for any of those parts for malfunction. This is mostly for the indy, on the bob cat I can't really say anything because I haven't follow it.

I personally prefer guns that are simple just for that same reason. A Leaking gun is a problem that happens to every gun manufacturer. The moment you add orings, which are easily damaged, you open the changes for a leak. One of the reason I have hundreds of orings on my parts box. They fail. Many time you will not know that you cut an oring until 500 shots later with it fails. This is true for a $200 or a $2000 gun. I would think that it is easier to damage an oring in a $2000 just because the tolerances your tighter. So when inserting parts they are easier to damage. Just a though, I could be completely wrong.

Check post # 10 on this thread my friend, it's no O-ring , LOL

http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=61841.0

You just come out with an O-ring rant when nobody mention any O-rings, Indy tons of problems and the extra parts isn't an excuse, Revo, boy I read tons of threads about bad revos, Edguns valve stems, and all kinds of other bad parts, Cricket broken stems,...man the Cricket .25 my friend had was utter Junk.

bottom line is you cannot judge a rifle from one lemon when you have 1000s perfect functioning rifles out there and that was my point, wheter it's FX, Edgun, Cricket, Daystate, A.A. ( boy I can link a thread where those last 2 where mentioned with serious malfunctions ) or Evanix.

It's percentage again.

Rdsail · « **Reply #110 on:** February 15, 2014, 08:52:22 AM »

Please read carefully before you come out with your opinionated responses. I specifically mentioned that I have follow the issues with the bob cats so I can not mention it.

Now that I read the post, I completely agree that the failure or poor manufacturing is inexcusable for any manufacturer.

Amen, I'm glad you mention this because I would hope that you would start practicing some time soon, when you refer to many manufacturer that are not in your graces!

One last thing, I was talking general on the o-rings issue, if you did not notice. Or maybe I should of said seals and not o-rings.

When any machine is modified to produce more power, breakages will occur. Ive been buildings jeeps and 4x4s for years and saying that Jeep built a bad product because your lifted jeep with oversize tires broke an axle while rock crawling is not fair. Saying you will never buy an evanix rifle because you read about one that broke while someone was trying to modify it is the same thing.

Rdsail · « **Reply #112 on:** February 15, 2014, 10:00:38 AM »

Well said Rescue. I agree with your statement completely.

Yep once mods are made all bets are off, however, in the case of my gun it was bone stock and unopened and the valve seem failed after less than 300 rounds.
Does that make all Evanix rifles bad? no. Does it show a lack of QC? not really. does it show that all manufactures can have issues? most likely.

as manny has stated its all about the numbers and nobody but PA and Evanix have those. I would expect if the QC was that poor that PA would stop caring them as they would become unprofitable. time will tell

QVTom · « **Reply #114 on:** February 15, 2014, 02:39:45 PM »

No excuses for Evanix but I'd bet the pressures of delivering the new models it taking its toll on them. If you've seen any video of their facility they appear to be quite small and not super neat in the workplace. That said, my RS2 is going on two trouble free years and has a nearly flawless finish inside and out. I love it more each time I shoot it

They have an unique position in the PCP hierarchy with a loyal following, that is an earned position and I'd expect them to hang on to it without too much issue.

dogwood · « **Reply #115 on:** February 15, 2014, 03:35:19 PM »

Couldn't agree more Tom, said a similar thing earlier, I suspect a lot of the issues we're seeing its from growing pains and trying to expand a bit to fast.
any growing company will have these issues, how well they handle them will be the important factor

TriggerHappyDude · « **Reply #116 on:** February 15, 2014, 03:37:22 PM »

Well for the kind of money they are asking for these rifles (Evanix, FX etc...) i would expect no issues with warranty repair and/or replacement. Any experience?

dogwood · « **Reply #117 on:** February 15, 2014, 03:40:40 PM »

PA quickly responded to my issue and sent me a new valve, I suspect if I hadn't already modified the shroud I could have sent it back for a replacement gun.
Someone else in another thread was in contact with Evanix directly and was pleased with their responses, haven't heard how it turned out yet though

If you buy an Evanix from Pyramid, my experience is that they will bend over backwards to help with any issue or questions that you have - including unquestioning replacement or repair of anything that needs it.
