Field testing Epoch Compact started

[Vetmx]

For a couple weeks I’ve been testing out the Skout compact. Not hard core all day in the woods, but easing into it. Today I finally had my phone with me so I took a carcass pic and figured I would post it. Everything I’ve shot has been 75-125 yards. This guy was in and out of my neighbors steel equipment building as the neighbor and I stood on the road talking. So I went in, screwed on the bottle, got the chick in the grip talking, then set up at 122 yards. My strelok and my real world aren’t jiving with this setup so I shot over it with my first shot. Subtracted seven clicks like I had to on the last critter at 110 yards. Next shot was a pop and a hit exactly where I was aiming.

Not sure if I’ve ever seen a Skout in the hunting section of this forum. So here’s one. It’s freakin deadly.

How is it to carry around?

Awesome shot @ 122 with your Skout E Compact! Yesirree I don't recall seeing someone hunting with one! Nice pic too.

The biggest thing with the .30 is how you manage the recoil on those long shots. I think I have it figured out. I had double 300cc bottles on it but I didn’t like carrying it around. This 500 is the best. But I might hunt with a 480cc. It will get a strap in the fall when I take it legit hunting. Right now I’m just opportunistic hunting with it.

Coyotes are still an option now.

Niiice! Good shooting.

Nice! What barrel you got and what are you shooting?

 

[Vetmx]

It’s a LW and it shoots pellets and slugs. I didn’t build it. It came with the gun. And now we wait………

Outstanding!

I can't afford that poop. It's sure nice lookin tho

It’s been a long time since I’ve been this impressed with a gun right out of the box. This is well beyond 100 yards and hit right where I was aiming.

im loving my Skout compact I Got the dirty 30 I’ve been running the HN 50grns slugs at 50yards there about a 1 to 1.5 inch group at 900fps I think it could get better working with the dwell but haven’t played with it much I got a raccoon last night at about 65 yards no problems.
the crazy stuff I didn’t check accuracy but I turned it all the way up and shot a 68g slug 887fps my heavenly modified Mav can push 925ish with a 700mm barrel and this gun can do that stock with a 17inch barrel amazing just amazing
o and it has a QD attachment point in the buttstock i put a little side drop QD on the top rail so easy to carry around I’m waiting for my bipod to come in ordered the utg

Nice gun and great shooting ................................. If it was mine i would put wood grips and check rest on , but as a hunter no wood .

The grip has side panels that slide in. They would look sweet in wood. But that’s not popular with all the Buck Rodger guns nowadays.
