Skout Airguns Epoch Compact

Now that's a tight package I can get behind! That looks awesome!

I like how you streamlined the bottom by replacing the regulator caps with the caps from the Evo.
Some liked to have the knurled caps, but to be honest, i always used the hex key for adjustments.
Seems better for hand placement too.
Do the come with the LW barrel, or is that an option?

This looks awesome!

If the reviews on this beauty are positive, I will definitely be ordering one.

When will this be available on the website?

8lbs + a scope and bipod might make it a bit heavy. Still seems like a bargain in comparison to what’s out there.

I was curious myself and called Skout.

Within 10 minutes, Bill Gardner, the president of Skout and his assistant called me.

The official launch is after the SHOT show and they are working on getting it on their website asap. They are currently taking pre-orders with deliveries starting February 1st if I heard him correctly. Bill rattled off the stats on the various calibers and I unfortunately did not have time to write them down, but the foot-pound figures in .22 and .25 were impressive and will work quite well for my hunting requirements. Bill also mentioned that with the .22 LW barrel, it shoots extremely well with both pellets and slugs.

Full video by Airgun Channel on YouTube should be released in a few days.

I figured it would debut at SHOT but I didn’t think it would be such an attractive price. I ended up taking advantage of the sale and got an Evo, which I love.

What maximum projectile energy can we expect in each caliber?

Will there be a good .177 barrel option? This could be a very good FT gun.

That a very high juice:barrel length ratio

Is that 28.5” with the moderator attached?

My thoughts exactly, at 20 ft lbs. it should sip air.

Agree. Plus lots of us have 480cc bottle we’re not using from when we upgraded to 580 or 700cc. So that would give more capacity and not be too long.

I have the .22 compact now. Here is the accuracy at 37 yards, too foggy today to go farther. (5 shot groups):

Crap! I wish I didn’t see this.
