Skout Airguns taking Pre-orders for Epoch

Also posted by Skout. Gotta start saving.

Saw that on American Air Gunner.. Shot Show..

Wow

A rifle I really want to give a follow up.

Does anyone have the spec’s on what the rifle can do; concrete numbers? I have seen the video but I haven’t seen any other information on their website except for how the rifle is designed.
Maybe I overlooked the spec’s but before I would even think of shedding that much coin, as a preorder first addition/run, I would need to see what the rifle is truly capable of…

not impressed yet we will see for 3000 id sure rather have a alpha wolf or prophet 2

I would need solid specs (weight, length, shot count, etc) before I would even consider ordering. I would hate to order it and find out it’s 10lbs.

It appears to be feature rich..

Not only the latest technology but some features nothing else mainstream is advertising..

Whoah they do have a lot going on there… this will be way out of my league but it is great to see folks innovating in the airgun realm.

Keep us posted!
Length and weight are hugely important.
Air reservoir size just as much.
And those are three things that current bullpups could certaily be improved upon.

I noticed the bottle is mounted rather low in relation to the shroud: That might allow the use of much larger diameter bottles.

OK.. I am first to say I don't really understand all the info I got out of that shot Show video..

Tank pressure 4500psi..but it runs on 850psi..does that mean it would shoot like maybe 4 or so normal working time more shots per fill?

I think he said it does not have a hammer valve. But uses an electric solinoid that uses air as opposed to a mechanical method..

So I don't know what Daystate electric models use.. But I think they use electric to move a mechanical valve..

If I understood it right.. Somehow they use some kind of barrel liners? To tune the gun for different projectiles and harmonics.. 3 different ones for. 25 caliber..

Like FX they offer kits to change to different calibers on one gun..

The battery that runs things and the 5 language (does it talk to you).. Lasts either 200,000 shots or 1 year.

Something like 2 separate regs.. One runs at 125 psi to control the valve system and the other one is a self leveling (don't know what to call it).. I guess the 2nd one runs at 850 psi..

I guess the less pressure in the system then the less energy to operate the valve..

I run my Dreamline at 120 bar for 890fps on .22
This thing shots. 25 at 850fps on only 60 bar.. What?

In. 25 the mag holds 25 shots.. Plus it has a magnetic self alighing mag.. So shots like with a single shot tray.. I guess..

OK.. I did find this about accuracy..

If half MOA at 100 yards (indoor.. No wind)
1/2'' 5 shot pattern.. Sounds good using:

. 30 caliber 50 grain

Tuned for 850 FPS at only 1400 psi

25 inch barrel

25 shot mag in 25 caliber

If this sounds good to you.. And you have a $3,000 gun budget.. What's not to like?

I am looking forward to seeing more of this from Skout. I am not a paintballer, so I've never heard of them. I did a search for best air rifles in 2022 and this was on the list. Of course, 10 videos will have 10 different opinions, but the features look amazing, and with 30 years of paintball experience, I'm sure they know what they're doing.
$3,000 is SOooo out of my budget and I don't shoot enough to even justify it. BUT, if it ends up being one of those "once you try it you won't go back to your old air rifle" then I still couldn't afford it, but I'll be watching.

I would never enetertain the thought of coughing up 3 grand on a concept idea.Now after its been around and tested for a year,thats different.Even,then I can’t spend 3k on a toy in this economy right now. I will be watching from the sidelines though.I do have 4 or 5 pcps that I love to shoot.

I just watched the shot show video randomly today and my next stop was a search here atAGN

It definitely looks like a winner but cmon man 3K. ?

This economy sucks ….

Under 2 k. Maybe. Especially as a preorder

I think it would be more appealing if the 3 barrels offered with the purchase were in different calibers and almost 5/8 thick like the barrels on the crickets..with a magazine of each.. but 3 barrels in the same caliber..is something I would not use...would like to hear from others what would they think about 3 barrels in the same caliber, different twist...?if I'm not mistaken that is the way they be shipped..

$3000 wow, but then again a FX Impact is $2400 with less of the features as the new Epoch

This post is six months old. Any deliveries on those pre-orders yet?

Luckily they have no middle man that is retailing the gun. Once/if that happens the price will easily go closer to the price of a Thomas HP-X. Let’s see what happens to the direct to consumer price once the pre-orders are delivered. My guess with inflation is north of $3500.
