Thanks Perle that's a good looking piece. Does that one come completely apart or is it sealed? The Donnyfl site shows some replaceable baffle stacks but I haven't seen it spelled out if they are all that way or not?

You can remove the interior baffle core but it’s not stackable or detractable
Consider it a one piece solid for all intent and purpose

I mainly use printed moderators and find them very effective and inexpensive. If there is enough space in your shroud it can help limit the length increase to have a custom design that screws onto the shroud. I don't know if there is a design for the Scout but I know who to ask. PM me if you want more info.

I use 3D printed moderators most of the time too.
I still have some Aliexpress aluminum moderators, that have completely disappeared now.
The Scout has a 1/2-20 adapter and there are many moderators around to 3D print.

quietlead I had an old Vortex strike eagle sittin around. I had to wait for the rings to show though. I think I found a good bang for the buck with the Discoveryopt 6061 rings on amazon to my door for $26
Congrats, you're gonna like it!

I can send you a barrel band if you wanna try one. We have a standard barrel band and one with fill probe storage.

Food for thought. Ever wonder why barrels look like they are bent down? For some reason most all times it’s bent down right? People obviously don’t like it visually yet accuracy is unfazed. In all the services I’ve done with all airguns that have this issue is because the main tube is angled slightly north due to the connection to the body of the airgun. Turkish guns are notorious for this.
When you install a band that’s mounted to the tube on a barrel that’s actually straight it will angle the barrel upwards and off the plain of the scope rail. With that being said yes there are bent barrels from time to time from manufacturers but most misalignment’s are actually due to the tube itself.
Not a complaint but nobody ever thinks of that scenario either. It’s just quick to say the barrel is bent due to the illusion.

Great info! I had a rough start with my first PCP while squirrel hunting—kept losing zero. Added a barrel band, and it locked everything in. Haven’t had to re-zero this season. I don’t think a bent barrel is common, at least from my experience and a band wouldn’t be the answer for that. I just find it useful for woods walking. But if I had a precision bench gun with a floated barrel, I definitely wouldn’t add one. For most rifles under $600, they seem to perform fine with or without it with the right pellet. I’ll keep an eye on your shop because I would like to pick up another rifle or two here in the next couple months.

Barrel bands are great and serve a purpose in different situations and absolutely agree. I’m sure you have an awesome product and this by no means was directed to you but was mostly directed to customers to understand their situation and what else could be going on first. In reality I just needed to state this illusion because it’s just not talked about.

I didn’t take it that way at all. I have a ton of respect for those who’ve been doing this longer than me, and I’m learning every day. I really appreciate the info—sharing accurate details with the community is so important. What you said makes perfect sense and should be the first thing to check. I got a bit carried away suggesting the barrel band, but you’re right—it’s crucial to understand the root cause of the alignment issue first.Barrel bands are great and serve a purpose in different situations and absolutely agree.

Thank you for your generous offer Evolve 3D! I may take you up on it if needed. However right now accuracy and consistency are meeting my needs. If things change, I'll definitely keep it in mind. Thanks again!
