I have thought about getting rid of my Evol paradigm. It's kinda big and bulky for my wants. But I have grabbed it either 4 or 5 times this year when critters attempted to get our chickens. Shots between 60 - 80 every shot connected. I have confidence in my Taipan but the scope is better on the...

I copied Scott I used grip tape on the cheek piece and on the bottom so I don’t worry what I rest it on. I do have a smaller scope on it now

what gun is this?

I tried posting this earlier. But my post got mingled with another post. Odd. I have a Huntsman non reg 177 and a wolverine R 177 Both are very comparable in accuracy. The Wolverine gets a lot of shots. I had a hard time making it thru a FT corse without filling the Huntsman. I can shoot the...

I have a Wolverine R like yours. I am shooting 890 I get the 160ish shots

Those are a pretty cool design. It shows you can make targets without access to a plasma cutter and welder. Thanks for sharing them with us.

I haven't read each post closely just skimmed thru. Something I will add is. What do you want the gun for? You can have a gun that shoots a pellet that is maybe less than 600 fps that can shot lights out at 30 yards punching paper. like my P Rod But that gun may be useless for shooting a...

I had a bottle of Ballistol that had a bad cap. Stored inside 70-75 degree constant. After a short while the liquid crystallized. I have worked maintaining equipment for the past 45 years. I have seen lots of oils get hard. But never this fast. I no longer use Ballistol. Watch out with Kroil it...

Something I have been guilty of several times is keeping something till the value goes way down. It would make more since for me to sell things I dont use. But I never learn.

I am not crazy about a Semiautomatic, but am interested in the size. Did it seem loud to anyone else?

about how many shots do you get? I am planning on a 22 and would desire to shoot 18 grain JSB’s. Most shots under 60 with occasional out to 100

I am really just wondering if anyone has heard that some of the Evols specifically the 15" is not going to be made. Or if the replacements may be coming out soon

For my use. I don't need more power or for an air rifle to be more tunable. With each of my airguns I have found a pellet that works for that particular guns use. A few years ago I went to buy a 15" Evol AOA didnt have one and I came home with a paradigm. Nice gun but I dont shoot it like I...

I have been checking AOA for anew 15" Evol. until recently they would take a deposit on one. But that option has been removed. Are they going to drop the 15"? Anyone in the know have an idea? I have emailed Tom but never heard back. I may need to set my eyes on another or look used. thanks

Way back when before adjustable rings, I used a business card. They are 10 thousands. This was a common practice around the small bore silhouette crowd. I never have even marked a scope. But I never used anything thicker. I know some guys used a shim made from a plastic milk jug or an aluminum...
