some observations on my Evenix Max .25

OK I will be stretching this thread out in the future
today it’s just my initial impressions out of the box
This is the rifle that has been ballyhooed by many as the Edgun Killer and as I own an R3 Long in .25 I guess I should step up to call it as I see it.

First off the overall fit and finish on the MAX is very nice…no complaints there what so ever.

Now some bitching:
this rifle has all the ergonomics of a chunk of 2×6…yes that’s what it feels like when you bring it to your shoulder. There are some seriously bad design flaws in the wood as follows…
First off if you have larger hands like me you will find that the idiot Butthole buttstock will pinch the web of your hand pretty bad and that the rear thumbhole portion is not nearly large enough…it’s no Edgun
add to that the rectangular metal forend has a pretty crappy feel to it and carrys a few sharp edges.

to access the NiHi battery pack you need to remove that pair of larger allens then unplug from the guns harness prior to plugging into the charger…real pain in the ass set up, if this runs right I will refit a charging port and change out to LiPo batteries…no reason to have to tear the gun down to charge it…eventually those screws Will strip out particularly if some asshat mounts a rail for a sling or vertical grip using those bottom slots.

Yes the MAX has a pressure gauge but it is next to useless where they located it…shit the trigger linkage is positioned above the face of the dial!
pretty difficult to read it deep down that hole with the thumbhole obstructing it and the linkage above it 🙄

Compared to my Edgun the cheek weld sucks but should be better once I drop my Aimpoint Ml3 on it…I just don’t know if the rail is milled to true 1913 standard for the QD mounts I use for that and my ANPVS4 nightvision…that remains to be seen but whatever, these guns will require a high mounting system to be comfortable
Can’t find any plastic other than the buttplate, bolt window and left side main power switch
despite the lego/erector set complaints on the construction it’s an extremely solid feeling rifle, no flex or give anywhere to it.

Supposed to charge it 8 hours the first charge so won’t be able to report on function until later

as I noted in the other MAX thread it is assinine to compare this thing to an Edgun…the Edgun is just simply a way more elegant and better thought through product in my opinion
Then again the Max is a select fire beast and no matter how many try and apologize for that feature, truth is that is one of the main reason quite a few cats including myself were drawn to it in the first place.

for me it’s not a case of Edgun or MAX, I can afford both 😉
