"Bullfrog"I'd say the Flex for this reason... you're going to get more shots than with the other guns for a given power level which is a plus for plinking. This is due to the combination of the Cobra valve (which has no hammer bounce), the larger air tank that fills to a higher pressure, and the externally adjustable Cobra regulator. You can also add different AR stocks. And you can always change your caliber if you get bored with it and run the gun as weak or as strong as you want up to the low 100s fpe.

Whats the shot count at 870 fps with 44gr??

Most of my gun uses the first production run parts. Even so, I get just under 60 shots at 74 fpe, which is pushing the 44grs in the mid 860s. That’s approximately 30 psi per shot on the 3600psi, 475cc bottle. The new bottles are 500cc and fill to 4500psi. I’m also using a 17 inch barrel as opposed to the new 20 inch barrels. So a new gun with the upgraded should increase both power and efficency.

Jim said recently with the 500cc bottle and 20" barrel he had it tuned for 900fps with the 44.75gr and from 3200-2200 got 40 shots.

That’s about 25psi per shot. That sounds right compared to my setup. On a 4500 psi fill, one could theoretically get 180 shots at 80fpe assuming a consistent air usage per shot. 

I’m about to upgrade my Flex to a current gen, except I’m keeping my 17 inch barrel just because its so darn accurate. I should still gain efficency just because of the Cobra valve.

I bought a COBRA valve for my custom .20 Mrod build and it's very efficient. I'm sure it will make quite the difference. I'm excited to see how my WARP does in .30cal with the 16.1" barrel. Barely any difference in length between the barrel on yours so will be interesting to see. I'll have a smaller plenum though. I wouldn't be surprised if I can get over 200+ shots per fill on the WARP in .22 on a full fill

For what it's worth...I am evaluating the very same gun manufacturers as you for the purposes of hunting rather than "plinking".
The only response I have received back have been from Jim at WAR. I spend my money where I get value for my dollar and
great customer support. So I will be ordering a WAR product....specifically the Flex in .30 cal. due to the fact that I "walk about" in my hunting
and plinking. Ease of carry and accuracy are paramount to me. There are no mistakes in your list !! I would also suggest you look at the EdGun
Leshiy...incredibly accurate out to 100' with the long barrel. 

My vote the WAR

Ok here's where I'm at folks,I have called, emailed and even texted 2 of them.I actually have spoken to Raw 3 times talked to Sandra and Marten about what I was interested in and felt very good about the customer service .I have also texted, emailed and called War and received stellar customer service,I was totally impressed and felt he had no issues going outta his way to help me out.I will be driving up to Kentucky to actually lay my hands on a flex or warp .I tried to contact AAA 3 times without any response so the Evol is out.
I have listened to everyone's votes and watched every video possible and I feel like a War will fit my needs a bit better in the long run plus its flexible :).lol every time I get a nice wood stock on an air rifle I'm terrified to get a dent or scratch on it.
Stay tuned as it will be later this month I'll go visit War.:)
Thanks again AGN.

I do think you will find the WAR to be a great air rifle especially if you get to touch them before. Jim is a class act and a great guy to deal with. And get this I ordered on September 22 at night. Next day he told me 2-3 weeks. Yesterday I sent him payment for my extra barrel and the externally adjustable regulator and he said it was already together and just needed to be tuned and tested and if all went well will go out Monday morning. So that will be 16 days from order to shipped and he was out of town for 4 days during it. Talk about fast! Mines a .22 with a .30 barrel kit. Will mainly shoot in .22 and am looking forward to very high shot count. And the barrels are the same MMHF barrels on the Mrods so EXTREMELY accurate! I can't wait!!

When I bought my last AR, I considered the WAR and the RAW. I nixed the RAW ONLY because of it’s weight. I mainly shoot bench but do occasional pesting. So weight and possibility of scratching up the RAW’s beautiful stock made me go for the Impact. I grew up in Sweden so that might have played into it as well. I probably should have gone with the WAR in hindsight but Ernest has the Impact now at its potential. It’s so light and easy to carry around in search of garden destroying varmints. I’m thinking that the WAR would be as well. So if shooting all bench I vote for the RAW but if u might get out in the woods then WAR. I’ve shot neither but seen enough videos to know both are laser tack drivers. Know nothing about AAA only that it exists.
