Evanix Rainstorm 2

Finally she showed up!!!

First impression is it looks just like the old one =)

Except this one is .25 cal!!!!

This is my first magazine fed air rifle and I hooked! I am going to be going through pellets way easier 😆

As I expected it was going to shoot balls to the walls and the first string went like 957, 933, 924, 908, 897. This was with JSB 25.4 gr. So I went down to Browns hardware and bought 3 springs. My luck the first spring I tried was a winner!!!! I have not measured it and they didn’t have the specs. Anyway new spring and two turns in the with the hammer spring adjustment and bam! Went back to browns and got a 2nd one!

FPSI – 2950’ish
EPSI – 1800’ish

866, 873, 873, 878, 880, 886, 888, 891, 899, 900
896, 899, 905, 903, 899, 905, 904, 900, 898, 887,
894, 891, 887, 877, 874, 872, 862, 856, 850, 841.

30 shots at 50 yards all day!

Averages for shots 1-25. And I usually throw away the first shot after a fill so it could even be a bit tighter

Hi – 905
Lo – 866
Avg – 890
ES – 39
SD – 11

It has a nice size tube. 280cc. And a 17″ barrel. I think with either a smaller transfer port or tougher valve return spring I could get 30 45fpe’ish shots with 30 fps spread. If I fill any high I need a heavier hammer spring or reduce the valve return spring. It’s using a good bit of air. I have only shot about 200 rounds maybe. So this could get better by some breaking in.

What else….

Super light. Shoulders and balances nicely. Has an adjustable pad.

It uses the new spring loaded mags. And they have been flawless with JSB 25.4 gr so far. And looks like you could hand load a 6 ring slug!!!! Only other pellets I had were the 31 gr Barracudas but they did not work well at all with the magazine. So I didn’t even test them. I would like to get some of the 43 gr EJ’s and see what the stock hammer spring does with them.

The trigger is pretty good. 2-stage adjustable. Haven’t measured the pull. But I would guess maybe 2 lbs.

Shroud is still hair curlers and springs style. I have read on the yellow there is tuner in SC who machine an insert. I will probably get that one. It’s not loud but could be quieter.

I have not been able to stretch her out yet but she was stacking at 10 yards. Hopefully will get out this Sunday. Running the numbers through chairgun I will go with a 40 yard zero. Puts me on from 15 to 45 with a .60″ kill zone. I put on the Bushy Legend 5-15×40 with high rings. This gives a 2″ sight height. You could probably do medium rings depending on the scope.

Okay now some pics 😆
