I'm thinking the reason they want to swap the barrel is to convert it to a dedicated benchrest rifle. Doesn't the Red Panda barrel weigh something like 7 lbs?

This goes for all major events. NEAC, RMAC, PAC, and EBR. In fact, we are going the next step this year and offering it to the Top 10 finishers this year, highest finish with a Skout gun will get the golden gun for that event! We will make another post outlining the details for 2024!

Absolutely NOT looking to blame "accuracy issues" (There aren't any) on the barrel. Just super excited that they are end user supportive and allowing me to use proven barrels from other manufacturers lets me compare platforms while eliminating at least one variable. If other manufacturers were as accommodating, I would love to try my Skout barrels in their platforms.
I actually bought a second Skout for the primary purpose of testing different configurations against each other under identical conditions. I have not yet shot an airgun in competition and I currently have no plans of doing so. I can still enjoy trying to get the most out of myself and the gun. I practice as much as I can with the time I have available.
Merry Christmas

Maybe I’ll have to try the “butt ugliest” butt coolest gun out there!!!
Butt seriously, I hope the company and the shooters using it do really well with this gun.

I feel that is a VERY premature assumption to make.. a brand new company that’s gonna replace quite arguably one of the largest, most successful ones in the world 
not bloody likely lol

could be me but why give the golden Epoch to someone who already owns one? Why not make it available for one of the top three finishers or something similar like a small lottery for top 3, top 5 or top 10 or whatever. Then you push it into the hands of top finishers and make the user base broader, just an idea 
But no I don't see them take over the market, there are more brands available

Another recommendation is to get the Skout Epoch off the bench. Offer some sort of incentive for finishing top 3 in a 2024 Extreme Field Target Grand Prix event. Those have from 30 to 60 competitors, and the EFT GP finals at EBR have over 80. I’d call those events “major” and are as competitive as PAC or NAC. Just IMHO.

If Skout were smart they'd only make those gold guns available to competition winners and make them a status symbol.

I didn't notice the extra anodizing on the prize gun until I looked closely at jt. I guess that does make it somewhat special.

I agree with Centercut, less is more… I lucked out winning the blue Accu-Tac at RMAC! Scope too!! And another Skout!!!

We feel you! We are looking to do some more limited run full color guns next year, similar to what we did with the camo guns this year!
