Skout Skout EVO First Impression

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Lewis and others, thank you for the tuning suggestions - it is really helpful in getting my new Evo setup. Can anyone explain how the valving system works? Is the LP the equivalent of a hammer weight? What does the dwell do? I have my dwell set to 12 and it bumping it up really didn't seem to change my velocity (like on a RedWolf). I suspect that the dwell is only for the LP hammer, but not sure.

I was able to get one awesome group after replacing my fill port due to an issue. However, I was getting some flyers that I think are due to sharp edges on pellet probe. I polished the probe and will see how it performs tonight.

Thanks again,
Dan

Love my EVO so far but have not been able to shoot it much. I have the same .22 LW barrel. I added the Tesla moderator to make it a little more backyard friendly.

50 yards 5-shots group with JSB 25.39 gr pellet. Regulator set at 1,300PSI. Chrono at 858fps.

Do you know what your low pressure reg was set at?

Don't be like that about FX barrels/liners, they did make a step forward by putting their liners in the air tank and "solved" the problem of vibration and movement I think. My only complaint is that they don't learn from, say, Epic Airguns or Skout Airguns how to make a good hammer-valve system. It would be good for Daystate to give up its closed ego.

Skout tried to use FX liners at first but only 1 out of every 3 FX liners would be accurate. No quality control at all. Completely hit and miss.

Yes the LP opens the valve and the HP pressure shoots the projectile. Your dwell time can be anywhere from 15-30. One dwell number will give slightly better groups.
