I've looked around and can't seem to find very much about them.
All I know about it so far is that it comes in 2 basic flavors... Thumb hole & non-thumbhole version. Both in .177 or .22 with a 6 shot rotary mag. 1450 FPS in .177 and 1315 FPS in .22. You also have to cock a hammer to index the mag and ready the rifle to fire.
Here's the one I'm thinking of getting:

Never shot one, but I did consider purchasing one for a time. Nice looking gun, a little overpowered for anything I'd use it for though. At that speed I bet they are loud as heck.
side note: If you are really looking to replace your Talon with another PCP then put up a "WTB" ad like I did in the various classifieds. I posted "WTB PCP repeater" and got 3 offers within the day, and one was my FX Black Widow which was a screaming hot deal.....Not all of the good deals are posted, and some people are "sitting on the fence" trying to decide if they want to sell something until they see "WTB, Cash in hand" and then they decide to sell. My Black Widow cost me a bit less than that Evanix does new, but it started as a much more expensive rifle and it is LNIB condition...well worth the time spent listing the "WTB" ad.
