I have one of the earlier Skout Epoch rifles in .25 with the 35 inch barrel. It has been a most enjoyable purchase, sold to me by Bin at the Pellet Shop with his usual great care.
Along the way, as anal as I am, I had a couple of concerns to be addressed and both Bin and Darryl Trent have been exceptionally responsive.
Recently, the rifle developed an inconvenient valve sticking issue that I could work around, but just wanted to have it addressed. I wrote to Darryl and told him I would like to have it looked at and would be willing to wait until the Pyramid Cup and just bring it with me, as I have plenty of excellent rifles to shoot. Darryl wouldn't stand for that, sent me a call tag, and while they had the rifle there completely upgraded the rifle to the new software and mechanical specifications as the current rifles.
I have been trying to decide what my next precision rifle would be and had narrowed it down to a Red Panda (though I hate the thought of buying a Chinese made rifle) or a Skout Evo-S. Skout's exceptional customer service has made that decision for me and I am glad to wait until they get the Evo-S perfectly refined for the market. Being able to purchase an exceptional America made rifle with proven customer service is worth the wait for me.
