SKOUT Epoch - First shots right out of the box!

My long barrel is here, boys! 35 inches or 889mm! Feels like a PSG-1!
This should quiet it down substantially and also allow me to lower the pressure. I can't wait to test it. Stay tuned to my little channel to see how it shoots!

Here is the 25 inch versus the 35 inch:

This is a very good video for those in the know and a horrible video for those who like to be baffled with bullsh#t. From what I saw in the video, I would be very confident moving forward. My only concern is shutting that nag up. If I want to hear that again while I’m shooting, I’ll get remarried. Plenty of videos will come down the line that will attract the nincompoops that will drive Scout crazy with emails and phone calls because they aren’t pellet on pellet at 100 or shooting bumblebees at 200. Hopefully some reality based videos and the price tag will attract some smart/patient first customers.
 
We messed around with the SKOUT Airguns Epoch directly out of the box and made some content since so many people were harassing me to do so! 😜
Shooting FX Airguns 44.8gr pellets at 50 and 100 yards in heavy winds using an Element Optics Titan 5-25x56 FFP Scope

OMG!!!! Can you imagine a bench line with 10 of those voices carrying on all at the same time?:oops::LOL::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:. Im gladI'm in the Sportsman class so I can video the one guy that wont turn her off o_Oo_O:ROFLMAO:. Sounds like a very robust platform. I look forward to seeing it in action for sure. See you in NH (y).

Also, since someone is gonna ask, with the long barrel and the Element Titan mounted on it plus an empty mag inserted, my scale is reading something around 13.5lbs.

Holy cow!!! That’s impressive mass, good for the bench though.

What’s the deal with the electronic voice on EVERY SHOT??? It’s the most annoying airgun thing I’ve ever heard.

Do you know how you can control the valved dwell time? That muzzle report is quite significant from the video so possibly the valve opened too long. My friend’s Crown in 30 cal with a moderator shooting the same pellet at the same speed has barely any muzzle report.

If I recall correctly, the dwell is adjustable in 1 millisecond increments, I think the designer said 20 steps available. I actually just received this gun as a gift, and will be looking for a bunch of info. There is very little info out there, it seems.

Dwell is adjusted via the circuit board just like all paintball guns in the last 20 or so years. Having the OLED display on this makes it simple as hell. I haven't changed the stock setting, which is 23ms.

Again, you can turn the audible prompts off just as easily as adjusting the dwell.
Hey brother, the gun looks fantastic! I'm gonna wear my A.S.S. Jersey and drag my ass to the range tomorrow!

Quick question, I emailed Skout about it, but I'm certain they are swamped right about now.

Is there anywhere I can mount a Magpul connector to the rear of the gun like I did with my Maverick?
