Skout Skout EVO precision with slugs

I figured out the trigger problem. The trigger bar was binding some how causing the trigger to intermittently stay stuck back rearmost. I'm not exactly sure where. It was either where the pin goes through the trigger bar or the bar was dragging against the frame. I didn't want to disassemble it all. I fiddled with trigger adjustments hoping setting the trigger heavier would help, nope the problem remained.

There's a "hex screw/is also the trigger bar pin, on the side of the trigger housing so I loosened it then retightened less than before and the trigger worked correctly again??

Then when I went to fill the gun it couldn't take more than 2000 psi??!!
The leak is by the bottle qauge and fill nipple. I replaced those orings and it didn't fix the leaking.

This gun is really pissing me off!!!!

I tried to do a maintenace on the Evo on/off valve. Followed the video and did what they did, but somehow, it ended up leaking no matter how many orings i replaced..I finally called Darryl and asked for another on/off ...hasn't leaked since. I really don't know how i messed it up??

What a funky gun because 3 days later I went to try to air it up in the chance it wouldn't leak and guess what, now the darn thing takes all 4000 psi so I've been putting lead down range?! Last Wednesday I let some other guys shoot it and there's no challenge on a larger steel at 150Y in 10-15 mph winds. I took a few shots and was hitting the leg of a full size ram. I did miss it a few times left and right but the ones that hit made a small group.

BTW the trigger is working normally again.

I bought a bunch of steel to set on my property. They are the Shooting Target 7 NRL22 AR500 semi spinners. Have 11 total because they gave me two because I surpassed the money amount they set. Anyway I can't recommend these enough and a "far superior" system used than any company selling steel so far.

I tried Zan 28gr slugs yesterday for the first time and NOPE it wouldn't work out because of huge flyers. 2-3 touching at 100Y and then one 4" away. It only took 15 shots to abandon the notion of using these. I'll try Zan 33gr next.

Man those Altaros 32.2 grain shoot well as usual. My farthest steel is 132Y away and I was able to put in some 1" to 1.2" groups with 3-4 out of 5 making a large splat. This was in the wind too. That .18 G1 BC makes quite a big difference at 49 fpe!
When this gun works it's impressive!

POI shifts from different shooting sessions are small or not present which is a positive reason I like the gun. I've been laying the gun on both sides because of how and where I store it and also with some other guns on top of it with a blanket in between them so I haven't been nice to it. If I ever take it to a match again it'll be in topmost place a few days before though.
