Well I did it. I finally joined the ever growing club, and bought a mini evol.

Thanks to Marlon for helping me out with purchasing his used mini. I’ve been wanting to try one of these for years. Almost since I got into the sport. Can’t wait to get it in my hands and finally understand what all the hype is about!

Thanks to all the enablers like @CTAirgunner, and @Dairyboy that helped enable me to spend my hard earned money on yet another pcp. Lol

thanks. I would have posted the same if I would have bought the atomic (which as you already know, I was close), but ended up needing just a little more power. I’m excited to see what this is capable of.

Nice...good to see that "my" money was well spent! If it wasn't for the low shot count on the Mini, I would own one (or three) already!

Lol if you had 3 then you just rotate til your empty would be almost 100 shots! I tuned my 15" at around 110 shots per fill going around 29fpe.

Well, ITS HERE!
First impressions is, the fit and finish is like no other rifle I’ve ever tried. It’s super light weight with the veyron mounted. Can’t wait to get it out and finally shoot it!!

Is the shroud just a wrap? Tom had done some testing with CF shrouds but never ended up using them. Can't wait to see what you think once you shoot it.

No, it’s a full carbon shroud that @Bullysyclone made for it. I think it helps a lot with the harmonic noise of the shot cycle. I wouldn’t know for sure though. I’ve never shot one with a stock shroud. Lol

Iirc, it had something to do with ambient temperature changes. Barrel tension can change more with a cf shroud than with aluminum.

So maybe just some poi shifts in extreme temps? It does look cool and I’m sure there is some weight savings… 🤔
