The Evol 30 cal is coming along

LOL.. Not gonna happen. But, if I shoot 225, I might win.

Here are a couple of pictures of the beast. Really a great gun.

This gun is different. I almost sold it a couple of times. But it was me breaking up the relationship. I knew it was a great gun and there was just something about it. Finally I asked my bud to take a shot at cranking the tune for me. What I got back is a hammer. 
this gun is built like a tank. A little heavy and very rigid. You probably don’t want to carry this one around. But for bench, I think this is its home

Again that is a really good group I selected from many. But this is a very good gun. The 22 will be lighter and smaller. Just what you want for a walking gun.

Nice! Details on FPS, FPE and ammo used? The only negative I recall are wait times on getting one and I'm not sure if things have changed. How is customer service these days with AAA?

Well I guess I could have done a little better writeup about this gun. I didn't realize there was no news about it.

I bought this gun last year at EBR at the urging of Robert B and Claudio. Unfortunately, instead of shooting what I knew was good, I opted to shoot the new gun. (Hurray a new toy!!) That was a mistake for me. My friends warned me to "dance with the girl that brung ya" but I didn't listen. The Evol needed some time for me to settle into the gun to get it into BR shape. So needless to say I didn't do very well. It wasn't the gun's fault.

My teammate DWALL took it home after EBR and hit it with a magic wrench. That was just what it needed. The first day out to the practice range, I knew there was something different about this gun. The barrel is VERY stiff. I see very little barrel flip. If there is any at all. The gun just feels solid.

I find the ergonomics of this gun just right for me. Stock length is adjustable and has a nice adjustable cheek piece and butt-pad.

I'm shooting the 44 gr pellets (JSB) around 880. That works out close to 80 fpe. It will shoot them faster. A lot faster if you want to crank it up. If I remember correctly, Tom has a slug barrel or has one coming, for this one too. We shot one at EBR 18 (Slayer with slug barrel I think) and I was hooked. When I had the chance to get my hands on one, I grabbed it. 

As far as service is concerned, I don't know. I did order a new rail for the bipod and it took a few weeks to get it. But this was a new part. So there was probably some manufacturing time in there.

Tom is a good guy and this gun shows his desire to make a really good gun. I like the look and the trigger is one of the better triggers I have. And there is just something about the feel of it being rock solid on the table. The only thing about this gun that I don't like, was the check I had to write to get it



All said, I think this gun in the right hands, is a 100-yard winner. I'm hoping those hands are mine
