So, I've all but decided on the gun I'm gonna order. After considering the FX M4, the Daystate Alpha Wolf, and the Skout Evo. The Evo is seemingly winning out. As I've mentioned in a couple other threads I've really taken an interest if the different kinds of competition shooting I've seen coming out of RMAC 2024. As such I'm looking to get a more "serious" rifle.
While I realize that different events require different rifle setups; I'm trying to select something versatile, so that if I decide I like one type of event over another I can readily convert my rifle to the task. So thus far it seems the Scout is the one for me. Having said all that I'm leaning heavily into the .25, as it seems to be a longstanding favorite amongst the participants in the competitions I've been soaking in. Although the .30's also seem to be ever present I already have 3 of them in the form of a Blitz, a Challenger Pro, and a Sidewinder. I figured maybe it's time to check out what the .25 is all about. So as I'm going through the options on the Skout site, I'm stuck trying to figure out which barrel will let me try out a little of everything, to see which type of shooting event I like most, without turning the gun into a one trick pony. With that in mind which barrel length do yall think is the better choice for a guy in my situation? The .25", or the 34.4"? At this point deciding on barrel length is about the only thing stopping me. I appreciate any input yall have to offer. TIA!
