Hello all,
I am new to air rifles as I have been a firearms guy for more than 30 years. I have done some research and I decided on the Evanix Rex for my first big bore PCP.
First thing I did was go over the rifles and apply a bit of thread lock to the locations I felt might work lose during normal operations of the rifle. I adjusted the trigger pull to a level I am satisfied with and then placed a dab of silicone over the adjustment screw, this will help keep is from backing out or even changing the trigger pull inadvertently (seen where this was a concern for another shooter).
My next step was to mount a pic rail to the bottom of the shroud for a bi-pod...straight forward as long as you drill an appropriate size hole for the mount and ensure the fasteners do not protrude so far as to touch the barrel. I simple ground off a few millimeters of them and the fit is great.
As for the optic, I have a few from my other rifles and I am giving them each a go to see which I like best. Not doing much shooting with the winter weather but I have been able to shoot out to 45 yards after sighting in at 25 yards. No issues with my shot groups less than 1 inch when prone/supported. (Nosler .357 145gr)
My expectation for this rifle has been met so far, it meets my needs and I look forward to more shooting this spring when the weather permits.
