New to Me EVOL 22

I was looking for my first 22 PCP to round out my 30 cal Maverick Sniper and 25 Marauder. I couldn't resist Dairyboy's offering of his lightly used EVOL 22. Dairyboy is a stand up guy and the rifle arrived in perfect shape!



The build quality is very impressive. I love the totally rigid barrel... no barrel droop worries here.



This is the first group I shot with the EVOL 22 after zeroing the NF 2.5-10x42 NXS on 30mm Warne Mountain Tech High rings. This is at 40 yards and is a 20 round group. I initially was only going to shoot a 10 round group but it was doing so well I decided to keep going:) This group is with JSB Jumbo 15.89 pellets.

Glad to see you over here from the Hide man! Lol you guys no regrets on my side. Yes it was an amazing gun and likely the best shooter I've had in my hands. However shooting conditions have changed over the years from order to when received and a bullpup overall is a better platform shooting out my truck and in the barns. I would have loved to have somehow converted it to a bullpup and I would have kept it. And something easily adjustable in power without tools is also wanted. Hence the decision for a Taipan Veteran with DonnyFL speed dial. Mainly for the reason we now are having an issue with rats in our barns the past year and Id like to drop power down to about 12-15fpe to shoot them.

And money wise I've been cutting down what I have invested in airguns to use for our camper or else I would have just bought a bullpup to go along. Will I regret it in the future? Who knows. For now am happy Ladd can give it a good home! 

But honestly I'd put that gun up against almost any gun out there. Except for @steve123 Surely!
 
Thanks fellas, love the 30 EVOL photos you shared. 


Dillon, thanks for an amazing airgun! I love it. Glad to be over here on AGN. Other than a Precision 22LR Match recently, 90% of my shooting has been Airguns the last several months. It has been a lot of fun.



Post up some pics of the Taipan when you get it. It sounds like a great platform for your needs.
 
amigos buena tarde, me interesa el tema de los evol porque actualmente me hice a una maquina de esas pero calibre 22 hps y en realidad no se ha desempeñado como yo lo esperaba. no he logrado un grupo de tiros dignos de un arma de alta categoria y costo he probado con pellets de 25, 4 grains rediseñados y slugs de diversos grains y partiendo con velocidades desde los 1000 fps hasta los 870 fps a 50 metros y nada. 

sabe alguno del grupo que estara pasando?

el cañon lo mantego limpio con ballistol y he hecho pruebas con y sin silenciador y nada
