As per title. I haven't bought it yet cause I'm farming o reach my 10k milestone but was wondering what y'all thought. Less power than the others but otherwise seems solid.

Right now at first glance I really hate it. Its short and ugly, bad accuracy, dmg and range. But I'll have to try it out for a day or 2 before giving my final verdict.

Looks a bit shorter than the evans from RDR. Stats look decent but wouldnt make me jump on it, price is about what I expected. 

Hopefully it has a reload like the Carbine, that would be a big seller.

Overal seems ok, might check it out in a few hours when I'm off work.

Thanks for the pic @Rokushakubo

It loads single rounds. 26 rounds takes a long time. I'd almost go as far as claiming the carbine is better. The damage seems better than stated.

26 rounds seems really tempting, but I think I'll stick with my Lancaster.

Holding 26 rounds - big yes

Reloading 26 single rounds - big no no

I don't know but i'll test it out. Don't know does this info holds any importance, but Evans was used alot by players in RDR 1 multiplayer.

The evans was the best looking in rdr too. Long and awesome. It looks completely different now. Dunno which real life rifle its made after, but thats one crap rifle irl if it looks like that. Wouldn't even shoot my worst enemy with that

It's simply called Evans Repeating Rifle. I dare to say that it looks better in the game than it does in real life.

I barely even use my Lancaster so this'll be a pass for me unless some truly compelling info emerges.

It seems ok. Nothing to write home about......yet. Gonna use in hideouts, ambushes and some missions.

Feels like the rest of the repeaters. 2-3 shot kills depending on range, I’d say closer to the Litchfield in accuracy but still a little more accurate. Single load is annoying but if it was double load, no one would be buying the Litchfield. Sound effects are the best part imo. It sounds powerful.

I would have hoped it had a more AR feel to it. With the huge mag size, a bit better hip fire accuracy and fire rate would have been awesome. A spray and pray weapon.

Paint it black with Evan’s sounds pretty cool

I wouldn’t think so. The Evans has a faster fire rate and the difference in damage is negligible.

Fire rate doesn't even seem faster from litchfield. And damage is not negligible against s&s users.

Anyway, if you use paint it black for pvp, odds are you're gonna get murdered anyway.

@Ektope must have 200+ kills with this by now, I'm hoping he chimes in with an opinion soon...    :sarcasm:

IRL the Evans loads through the butt stock and held 34 rounds. If you tried to load a single round you would have to cycle the lever 33 times before it would be in the chamber and ready to fire.

I pass. My weapon wheel is clogged already. There's no gun cabinet in your camp. The gun cabinet in gta is bugged, so I don't think that Rockstar will do a better job in RDR2O.

I'm happy with it. Looks just like the IRL Evans, and reloads like it (which surprised me, I legitimately thought they would have taken the lazy/easy way out and used the Carbine reload). Sounds great as well imo.

Seems (at least to me) there is an issue with the Evans not showing up in cutscenes. Way to go Rockstar

I've been waiting to see what the Evans was going to be before I bought a repeater on my one account, but still undecided now.  If you had all of the repeaters and could only keep one, which one is it and why?

Probably my Lancaster since I've got so much invested in it already. Engravings, metal changes, carvings, stock and varnish. As well as all the performance-enhancing modifications (minus wrap).
