So….shrouds on raws aren’t possible without either a cuttout for the bottle, or a custom contoured tube. Because of the distance between the bottle and the barrel.
I haven’t heard to many complaints about the evol noise level. Stock? Have you?Those are some good comparisons in the Micro Compact category! I came up with a few specs to compare them. While the lengths are all similar, the RAW micro is a bit shorter (because the barrel is 2'' shorter). I imagine some of the numbers below would be even closer if they all shared the same length barrel. But let's all agree that a good moderator is needed for anything with a short barrel

It's great to have so many options!
Another thing I like about all 3 of these is their simplicity (though admittedly I've never torn down a Pathfinder). Gotta love an airgun that's easy to work on and only has a few o-rings!

Having owned an Evol Mini (and now a Paradigm) I can assure you that any airgun putting out 20+ FPE with such a short barrel is LOUD without a good moderator.
Imo…this is a pretty big factor to all these “compact” guns.
My Micro compact is 27'' with the butt stock fully extended. I no longer own the other two to measure them, but it's safe to say that they all require 3-5'' moderators to reduce their bark (because of the short barrels and power output). *This is just my opinion, as some people don't have any noise restrictions and don't use a moderator at all.
I'm working on it! Need to swap out the prism for a scope, and print some groups before 11am (which is when it begins to feel like I'm standing on the surface of the sun outside) here in TX.
I think the new mini inserts are pretty impressive. Much better than the original inserts. I agree that they all need a good LDC though. Much more than a long barreled gun unless there pushing crazy power also
Some ”length“ numbers for the XRs with moderators attached.Those are some good comparisons in the Micro Compact category! I came up with a few specs to compare them.

I like it alot, a sweet, rugged looking platform, the punches way above its diminutive size.
I agree to a point but if set to low power it makes a great close range pest control gun for around farm buildings. The price tag is a bit hefty but for the cost of a new barrel and a bigger buddy bottle it’s easy to swap and change in a matter of minutesI love my RAW's and their built quality/accuracy/trigger, the Micro sure looks cool, but seems to have pretty limited uses.
I suppose you could add a SSG and almost double OEM shot per fill.
I would really like to have one, but I'm not rich and can't see owning one - a somewhat impractical airgun for the $$$.
