Skout EVO .25 cal

[@pipemadness]

I love all the information that you share with us. I bought an epoch a couple of months ago and absolutely love it. I was hoping to swap over to a slug liner but wanted to stay with Skout OEM. I might just have to save up for an evo maybe at 30cal and just keep my 25 cal Epoch as my bench/range pellet rifle. Love the videos and think Skout is one of the best out there.

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@pipemadness The barrel on my gun now is a Skout new Lothar Walther barrel and is compatible with the epoch.

[@pipemadness]

@@AirSniper-SongVoh wow! I’ve been looking for a barrel and haven’t found one yet. You can purchase from Skout directly?

[@kevintravis2154]

You can get the slug barrel for your Epoch and still shoot 34 grain pellets

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@kevintravis2154 I’m not sure, but I will test pellets with this barrel for you. I also would like to know if the pellets will work with this barrel.

[@kevintravis2154]

@@AirSniper-SongV I have already tested pellet in their slug barrel Song. HPP has and Epoch with the Slug barrel and I set it for 34 grain MK II 34 grain.. Have Tom's Evo running 34 grain MK II. He took 2nd place at our last 100 yd BR match with it. Will now time it back to slugs. Going to try some from AVS and Griffin

First thank you so much for actually showcasing this guns performance and accuracy. Skout has 1000% dropped the marketing ball on this gun. I know they are working on some new barrels but that’s no excuse. They have lost a lot of opportunities in my opinion by doing so. But anyway….. I hope I’m not dumping too much on you in one post. 1). What grain slug? 2). What exact barrel are you using? -length - what kind….sub moa , lothar walther or just a Skout liner ?? 3). What twist rate. Impressive shooting and thank you much.

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@Light_357 Thanks for the kind words. I known Skout is working on improving their products. Per your questions, I’m using Skout’s boat-tail Slugs 48.8 grs. Also H&N 40 grs slugs .249 works great, but the B.C. not as good as Skout’s slugs. Skout’s slugs had more advantages on long range out past 300 yards. The barrel is 34.6 inches lothar walther, and the twist rate might be 1/18 not 💯 sure. FYI, I have sub-moa barrel coming next week and I will do comparisons with lothar walther and will post results on KZbin.

Ok, for .25 cal, 48.8 grains, 34.4 inch barrel High pressure is about 1900 PSI, near 2000 Low pressure is about 220 PSI Dwell is 26 Noted.

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@hunterx2210 Your gun setting might be little different from mine. It’s depends on your location, I’m at sea level and humidity around 48% and dew point 32 degrees. I highly recommend changing dwell time. Some were between 16-32.

[@varmintknockers]

Good stuff on the numbers and the tuning , it looks to be shooting really well .

[@AirSniper-SongV]

Thanks Dale.

Very nice 👌 Thanks for sharing 👍

[@FxFanBoy]

I love all the information you share 😎 I just got an evo. I’m learning!!? lol I am having major issues getting parts like barrel liners. I want a 800mm liner so I can use a fx slug liner. I still can’t even get a spare set of regulators lol

[@skoutairguns]

Hi! We have full sets of regulators in stock and ready to ship! Sorry about the 800mm liner conversion. They are custom and made to order! We will hopefully be making some soon!

[@FxFanBoy]

@@skoutairguns thanks for your reply! I guess I need to know who to communicate with? I’ve ordered regs and got no order confirmation yet. It was last week. This rifle is amazing! Right out of the box I zeroed and took a pigeon at 180 yards first shot. But you know that.

[@onlymyopiniontech]

Good info on the BC. I was constantly having less drop than my calculator said so I knew I needed to raise the BC. I'll try your number and see what happens.

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@onlymyopiniontech If possible make sure your scope rail is level with no MOA. Sig Sauer BDX range founder build in software working good for me and much better than Strelok Pro ballistic calculation.

[@theguy2137]

Hell yeah, glad to see you back at it! Stop taking so long to make vids hahahaha

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@theguy2137 Thanks!!

[@SilentChony]

Thanks for sharing! Not many videos out there on the evo yet. Is this the standard 25 cal barrel or a special one? Also with your current air pressure setup and dwell time approximate how many shorts per fill?

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@SilentChony This is the latest version of their barrel. It’s available now on their website. I’m getting two magazines on their larger bottle (580cc) with 4500psi fills.

[@bernaberodenasjimenez8391]

Con que cañon estas disparando?yo no logro que mi skout agrupe con pellets si pero con slug fatal

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@bernaberodenasjimenez8391 Are you using Skout’s barrel? Skout now offer Lothar Walther pellets barrel in .22cal and it shoot very very good.

[@Fubar684]

Outstanding. Those squirrels are in really big trouble now. My 10 year old rangefinder is getting pretty beat up these days, and I may need to upgrade. Which one do you have?

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@Fubar684 Is a BDX KILO1800 is not the best one out there, but will do the jobs.

[@goldsmith001]

where did you get the riser? Does Skout offer this? Thanks!

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@goldsmith001 Not sure if Skout offer them, however got mine from Amazon, around $15. a.co/d/1S7xoGb

@@FxFanBoy They do have new long range barrel available now in .25cal. The one I have in my gun now is .25cal 34 inches barrel and this barrel shoot very good with their sniper slugs. If you love shooting long range, this will be the one to get.

[@FxFanBoy]

@@AirSniper-SongV I love long range that is for sure. I guess I’m going to buy the.25 barrel. Although I would rather have.22. Better bc imho. Thanks for the information. I hope you make more videos on this platform 😎

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@FxFanBoy What’s wrong with your Reg?

[@FxFanBoy]

@@AirSniper-SongV I just want spares. They aren’t very expensive. And I think I might have messed them up when I first got the rifle because I had an air leak on the hp gauge. After that I had to use way too much red pressure to get the velocity I wanted. I’m great with fx regs but I don’t fully understand the evo regs yet. I’m learning

[@AirSniper-SongV]

@@FxFanBoy If your reg is leaking or creeping, Skout have new updated versions of reg shaft that will fix that issue.
