Looking through the safe and it got me thinking about how many other people have these rifles?

I have been lucky enough to get one of the external adjustable regulators, along with one of the extended plenums. In 22 the rifle is a tack driver with the 25.4 grain pellets. Sitting on top is a Tract Torric scope to make easy work spotting the shots.

Very aesthetically pleasing gun. And being a triple A, no question about its build quality.

What kind of speeds do you see from the .22/25.4? And what type of barrel does it have, rifling, choked, etc?

 

[woogie_man]

Speeds if I remember correctly is at 950 fps and shoots great. Barrel is still the stock set up. I am waiting for Sub-MOA to have slug barrels for it and I will be installing one of them

Hope to have one someday.

I appreciate you sharing yours and any intel into them. There ain't a whole lot out there specific to the Paradigm.

Great looking rig!

I do enjoy it for sure, but I keep having the horrible thought of selling it to help fund other projects.

You know Ive got one!

Mine started off in .22, which is my preferred caliber, but they didn’t have that barrel / magazine figured out so they converted mine to .30. Although the .30 shoots better and the magazines operate better, the power / velocity just wasn’t there (845 fps with 44g).

The fit and finish is amazing and the newly designed lighter weight cocking lever sounds great, but the biggest improvement is likely to be the Sub MOA barrels.

I‘m hoping to get mine converted back to .22 with a new Sub MOA barrel, but we’ll have to see how much it costs first.

I am hoping the Sub MOA barrels really make these guns awesome blasters. Would be a fun slug gun for many critters

I picked the .30 for coyote duty. It is a magnificent piece of steel and walnut for sure.

That’s an awesome display of marquetry on your coffee table and the rifle isn’t to shabby either.

I'm thinking that I'll be changing the caliber of the Magnon to 223 with the new longer barrel. It will likely be an accurate and balanced powerhouse good for a couple of magazines worth of shots in this caliber.

Just about blends into that table! Lovely

Yeah, the table is kinda heavy to take out to the field, but it does camouflage the rifle pretty well!

I have talked with the guys over at Sub-MOA barrels. They are making barrels for the evol and Paradigm now. They need enough for stock before they make them avaliable.

So soon.....

Are the Sub-MOA barrels a direct replacement for the Paradigm/EVOLs? I have one of each (the EVOL is a Magnon) and would like to get a barrel for each. @Airgun-hobbyist - I get 3 magazines out of my Magnon shooting 50.15g pellets. I like your idea of a .223 though...
