Skout Epoch owners that sold for an evo or ones that own both ??

[Trucker3573]

If you sold an epoch for an evo was it really worth it ? If you own both is there honestly any point. I have an epoch and really am trying to talk myself out of an evo. The barrel thing doesn’t make sense to me as I’m pretty sure I can buy the newer style evo barrels for my epoch ?? I can put the higher power regulator spring in my epoch and I can put the evo bottle valve in it if I want. The evo is aesthetically more pleasing to me for sure but I’ve done some investigating and it ain’t much lighter. Doesn’t appear they shaved anywhere near the weight claimed in a few videos. Anything in my thinking flawed?? If you switched or own both is it really justifiable other than just wanting another one. lol.

Sounds like you've made a logical argument in keeping the Epoch and passing on the Evo. Both are heavy and if you're a benchrest guy, you're already there. I'd bypass the Evo and get the barrel upgrades for the Epoch. Also you could get the stronger spring but unless you're going for extremely fast heavy slugs you probably don't need that. Again, depends on for what you are needing the gun.

Hi Trucker3573
I had thought about the Evo, but then decided to do everything you listed and have zero regrets

I do like the angled gauges of the Evo, but i prefer the easier access to the regulators on the Epoch

the slimmer profile is quite attaractive, but not enough to make me want to change.
