That looks great! Today it's finally not foggy as can be so brought it with me to the farm. Took a dove out already at 82yds. I'm loving mine also! That scope looks great on there. What rings are those? I bet the PRS stock is real nice!

EVOL has landed!!!!
- Thread starter Dairyboy
- Start date
Rings are SIG offset, Brownell’s has them on clearance right now with free shipping!
They work well getting the scope forward. Problem now is the 50moa built into pic rail. Running out of turret travel for close range.

Yeah Joe I can see that being an issue with lots of scopes. I sighted mine in at 50yds and I think I have 5-6 MIL lower I can go? I can't remember as I have my zero stop set. Anything closer I just hold for it. But I have 32MIL of adjustment for my scope. Im not sure but dont think I could do it with my Argos BTR Gen2. I checked the rings out and out of stock already lol. I'm happy where mines at now adjusting my stock to max LOP.
Thanks Randall! Yeah I'm getting really comfortable with it now. Got 5 starlings in a row from the same tree at 82yds. And yeah that Athlon Midas Tac is the best! For me at least

Dillon, It's just one those guns that's truly artwork!. The Machining is unbelievable, I believe it's right there with the Thomas.

I agree brother! The machining is impeccable and the finish is as well. It truly is a work of art. I agree I think this is the Thomas equivalent of a field gun.

Finally got the scope and mounts that will stay on this gun!.
Cold, windy and rain/snow mix this afternoon so no outside pic’s. Shot two magazines through it to zero scope, I’m loving it!
Every time I see these magpul stocks, "I want"!

Te PRS stock really balances out the weight and feel of the gun. I can see the collapsable stock for the mini. though.

It explains why I was only getting 25 shots with the 25.4’s, I shot 62 pellets on a 4000psi fill to 2200psi ( reg is set for 1750psi ) my SD was 11.4!. After this reg. Adj. string.
Accuracy was very good I shot 4 ten rnd groups that averaged about 3/4 in. @ 66yrds.
I want to add that the gun was at room temp. and filled at that temperature I immediately went outside and started shooting. 77deg. To 30deg!, I will take pics next outing (to damn cold today!)
This in no way a final tune, that will happen when it warms up some. But definitely good for crows, and other vermin this winter.

I bet its alot quieter! The SD and ES seems quite high. I haven't checked my ES since dropping my hammer spring but the accuracy on mine is stupid good and consistent I don't even want to play with anything. Was thinking about dropping the reg pressure but don't think I will as I kinda want to crank it up later when needed. How I got it from Tom the ES over around 15 shots was like 3-4fps it was crazy consistent. Im sure the ES isn't as good now dropping just the hammer spring on mine also but like said shoots too dang good to even care let alone touch anything lol

When mine came from Tom it had a really low SD with 25.4’s but I wanted to shoot the lighter 18’s, so I will make minor adj. to tighten things up some!
It’s very accurate, just get one or two flyers per 10 rnd group that open it up. I believe that’s more pellet than gun.
Yes much quieter!

Yeah I hear you there. The 18gr are my favorite pellet and it's a real sweet shooter with them. I might lower the reg but still just unsure. Mines showing around 1900psi. I bet 1600psi would be just right. But it shoots too good to mess with now. I know Tom was saying the 18gr he recently got in weren't "great" in these barrels compared to the 25.39 RDMs or 16gr JSBs. Mine seem to do extremely well though but there a good 2yrs old I think.

Got some goodies today from NSA to try in the EVOL. 17.5gr, 20.2gr and 23gr slugs in all sizes.
Today I decided to clean the barrel after a good 300 pellets through it so far. 3rd pull with a patchworm with ballistol patches was already squeaky clean. Here's a few pics with what we're working with barrel and breech wise. Other manufacturers need to do this

DB, I’m Glad you tore it down and and took some good pictures of the barrel assembly, You don’t see PCP’s built like this!.
I haven’t done anything other than adjust the H.S. and pull some patches through it.
I think most will now understand the difference between true tensioning and just putting a CF tube over the barrel?

Yes extremely high quality. No comparison to a CF sleeve.
This is the spanner I bought that works well.
