Wow - Forgive me if this is repost, but I'm really liking the REX "BA". Thoughts?

Looks pretty good. 
Any idea on the price of the rifle 
Thank you for posting

You got my hopes up that it was out for sale.

I like the look of the Rex line but not that it's single-shot. 

If I was going to buy a single shot air rifle in that price range, I would prefer an airforce gun.

Airforce guns use LW barrels which are better than Evanix's in-house barrels. They are more established and have a large number of after-market accessories and support. Barrels are interchangable between their different models and they are all available now and not too expensive. It makes it a very versatile platform for (other) people who can live with a single shot gun. 

I know that Evanix has plans to make the Rex similarly versatile but the after-market support is not there yet. Imo, the Rex is a day late and a dollar short. It brings nothing new. 

As I said, it looks nice, but you can easily create a similar look with an airforce gun by adding a free-float handguard. I prefer the under-lever on the Rex but the improved ergonomics are made irrelevant by it being single shot. There is no fast follow-up shots without taking your eye off the target etc.

What does the Airforce gun weigh, compared to The Evanix Rex BA? That would be the deal breaker right there.
