Evanix Viper .30

[Dstrac]

Got the viper .30 last summer. It's been a good pistol to have fun with. I run slugs and pellets. One magazine is missing the external spring so I run rmr bullets 2nd quality "slap" slugs. They are super affordable and hit the target. The other magazine with spring gets jsb or aea pellets. 44-45 grains for all ammo. It has a holosun eps carry reflex sight. Optional moderator. Weighs under 3 lbs loaded. Over 3 lbs with moderator. Tricky to sight in because each shot changes velocity as you loose air, so I have it set to get as close as possible but poi changes with each shot. You can absolutely hit your mark but then they will start to move away from center. It makes 30 lbs give or take. Velocity was taken with slugs. 10 shots per fill last shot 486 fps. My reason for going with this pistol was that the magazines can be removed and the gun can be de-cocked.

@Dstrac Sounds like a decent report. Any functional issues?

Nope, works perfectly mechanical wise. In full disclosure I will say about a month in it developed a leak. I noticed the tank was empty I contacted the sales vendor new England airgun. They said bring it in on Saturday and repaired for me while I got lunch. It splits in half just before the magwell, so they just replaced the entire air side of the gun with a new one. Leaks can happen, it's how it was handled afterwards that's important. Both the vendor and manufacturer took care of their customer.

Hahaha it's not perfect, it does have some Starburst to it for sure. In the picture it looks larger than it is, and perfectly round? but it's not.
The compact size was why i went for it. I have two feyachi v90 red dot sights on rifles that were $60 and are great. On my most recent rifle I tried an at3 that was 3x the money and returned it for the 2nd v90.
