The evol no doubt! Fantastic domestic craftsmanship, amazing thumb up stock, carbine format etc..

Pick your poison, then tell us why?

- Start date
Although you can run over one and it doesn't hurt it and you can drag the other behind a truck and all is good, well somewhat. My vote is for the M3 for it versatility. BTW what does the Evol weigh? I know it's a a top notch build but it appears heavy.

That EVOL would be a sweet first traditional gun, lose that fat boy boy they can trash the looks of any rifle.

Well slayer, thanks to your company and this d@med thread by Michael, I have just joined the EVOL family in the form of a .22 Paradigm!
Hopefully Darren at AoA will give me a good trade-in price on my RW Safari .25 so that I can afford my new Paradigm. No worries on my part, he always seems to take very good care of me.
Yes, the description for the Paradigm is currently lacking in information on the AoA web site - although it has plenty of pretty pictures of the gun!
And you likely could not have picked a better main dealer than AoA - Darren and his sales crew, as well as the service crew, is nothing short of AAA+ in my experience. NEVER had any negative issue with them on a whole bunch of transactions.
EDIT: And for those who are looking, there is a pretty good review of the EVOL Paradigm from Patagonia Airguns on Youtube, with excellent English sub titles. Not Steve Scialli/AEAC good, but worth the watch anyway.

DW, ease of changing power level, from lower ( for shooting at short range )
To higher ( for long range)
All at the push of a button.
Ps, I would not kick any of them outta bed.

Of the group, the Evol is the only one that piques my interest. I’ve never seen one in person but would like to Take one for a spin.

Thank you - message received! We will update the AAA site to break out the Paradigm with its own specs.

I'd like to know the basics at least, such as length, weight, power level and shot count. And the big ones like what kind of barrel and if it's choked, groove and land or polygonal, etc.
From what I gather on the AoA site, this is the only gun in .22 listed with an 18" barrel. I imagine that makes a difference in power and efficiency from the similar models.

It would have to be the Evol for me.
I like the traditional look and have been reading quite a bit about these guns lately and it has gotten my interest.
I would like a chance to shoot a Daystate sometime. The electronics fascinate me, but I a just not sure I want an electronic gun. As much grief as my phone gives me, I just cant help but imagine a gun that might butt dial!

I think I’d throw my lot in with the Evol, but I would definitely change out that insanely ugly moderator.

The Evol has my vote plus it's made in America what more needs saying. Even when it's not on sale the gun is exceptional value when you factor in the cost of ammo/mods/time spent on other airguns try to tune them. Evol might lighten up your wallet a little initially but it won't bleed you dry like some other airgun companies out there with there endless mods/upgrades that are supposed must haves....
The "Evol has what others don't".
American Air Arms is airgunning Nirvana through and through.

I’d go Evol just because I have a few that fill the other slots. It will hit like a hammer and the conventional PRS style stock for distance work suits the role well. I was looking that gun over just the other day as a coyote gun.

The EVOL Paradigm is a beautiful rifle, I hate to see that DFL moderator on it though as it gives the impression the factory one doesn't work. Changing out the factory one is a huge step down in quality and performance as it's designed to work as a system with the shroud.

AAA Paradigm because it's conversational like a normal rifle and the mag in not in your ears like most poor designs

Those are all "Rubbermaid Fasttrack"s!
It says so just to the left of each and every gun!
I didn't even know Rubbermaid was in the airgun business! (snicker/chuckle)
And I can't even afford THAT! Guess I'll just have to stick with my Fortitude Gen2 in .177 and dream... (wink)

Alright, so the traditional looking gun is still in the lead by a landslide.
And here we are, stuck with a market flooded with bullpups and ray-guns.
......I'm still here holding out hope for those tides to change lol......
