Skout EPOCH (Review) + Basic Tuning Guide & Operation with 90 Yard Accuracy Test

[@FarmerFpv]

The JSB King Heavy 33,95gr are most accurate at 960 to 970 fps on my EPOCH. The group gets so tight with pass throughs. I sold most of my Airguns except for my Edgun Leshiy 2 and FX Wildcat Compact bottle. The Epoch does it all except it's to long and too nice to be a struck gun. Nice shooting and review, bro.

[@AirgunChannel]

Too nice for sure. Did you have the Short barrel? Dang, I will put mine to 960-970 if I ever get one.

[@hotchihuahua1546]

I get great results with my 30 caliber 35” barrel with JSB 50.2 grain pellets at the same speeds you are getting with your 25 caliber .

[@joesena9658]

Can you put a suppressor on?

[@hotchihuahua1546]

You did a great job showcasing the Epoch !👍👍 I have had mine for about 6 months ! It is a bench gun first and foremost and is built like a tank with a lot of forethought into ease of maintenance . It has a long shot count and plenty of power to send heavy slugs & pellets at 1000+ fps accurately! The FPS spread between shots is the best of any PCP out there . The trigger and programming is a cut above anything I own . The best part about this Airgun are the people at Skout who are constantly upgrading this model .

[@AirgunChannel]

Upgrading? I wonder how since it's about perfect.

[@derivas007]

@@AirgunChannel yes never heard some modifications if their gun..perhaps barrels?

[@projectmayhem2330]

I take it pfp can’t compare with Rimfire? Genuine question. I’m researching PCPs, every video, I’ve watched literally hundreds, all the shooters are happy with groups that I’d be appalled with from my benchrest Rimfire guns

[@derrickmitchell39dm]

This is an FX killer, without a doubt!. I had a choice to either get the .357 Rattler or the .357 Epoch. I went with the Rattler because of its significant power difference. However, looking at the accuracy of the Epoch and all the stuff you get with it, I should have got the Epoch.

[@AirgunChannel]

Does the Epoch .357 not have power? The other calibers are pretty peppy.

[@tonycarr1253]

Factory Settings are Pushing the 81grain JSB at 988fps Approximately 170 FPE

[@themulesheriff3009]

This electronic trigger has been out for many years with their paintball guns under the toughest of conditions . I like this electronic setup that also allows programming of the dwell to tighten your groups even more with and without different silencers .

the electronics are necessary to maximize every aspect of the shot cycle. Its why in some bench rest comps electronics are banned because they have an unfair advantage over purely mechanical guns.

[@AirgunChannel]

No, it has a satisfying faint air sound inside that must be the hammerless design. So you can hear the air do something, but there is no hammer hitting anything. It reminded me of my Auto Cocker paintball gun which dominated because the bolt went backwards and it fired with just air instead of air and a forward plunger like other paintball guns, It is quiet all around.
