Skout Epoch first impressions

I wanted to add from my impressions of inspection and shooting this gun at HPP in Mi. Although I believe in the valving and ingenuity of engineering also the departure from the norm.

There is some question marks of securing the Barrel into the action (cam-loc and aluminum) the anodizing is being damaged as barrels are being swapped.

Also the cocking and magazine functions are clunky at best. Not nearly as refined as a Impact for sure.

When I walked away from shooting this gun I had the distinct impression It was a prototype not a completely finalized product?

I will say there are more positives than negatives, but before I purchased one it would have to be a little more refined and better suited for bench shooting such as a bottom arca rail that would accept a wider bench plate etc.
I agree 100%, most definitely a prototype in many ways.
