Leaky solenoid. The tech I was talking to found it so unusual that I wound up driving there. Not a common problem. No biggie.

Skout Airguns Epoch Compact
- Thread starter Skout-airguns
- Start date
I know this is an industry news topic but I figured I would post a pic of mine compared to other known compact PCP’s. And yes, that’s a double bottle. The .30 compact needs it.

Yeah I can imagine the .30 hogs the air. That is a hesitation from me as the .22 in shooter1721’s video with 22 grain pellets only got one mag. No idea how ridiculously fast they were shooting them but my 25 maverick compact got 50-55 shots with 25.39 gr at 900.

Luke had his set up to fire the JTS at 960fps..i think Rick did the same
How many shots with the 2x bottle?
Upvote 0
More than one mag. At first I put a 480 on. Then a 500. I will probably bounce back and forth between the duals and the 500 for general shooting to see if I like one more than the other. Probably will hunt, if I do with this gun, with a 480cc. Oh, and I only fill to 250b or so.

I guess I’ll just keep yapping until someone else gets one and reports in. I just got done shooting with it in this configuration. I was getting sound or concussion fatigue with it in stock form because I’m shooting out of my house onto my range. With a mod on it and after some experimenting, it’s gold now. 100 yard accuracy? I just shake my head. Better than my previous two .30‘s. Hopefully long term ownership is just like the honeymoon. Time will tell.

Are you on payroll now? Just all this praise from you makes me wonder lol what'd they do to you while you were there

They didn’t shoot me with a dart full of pixy dust or throw freebies at me. Just built a cool gun. If it was a turd, I wouldn’t hold back. Like I said before, field life with their trigger wouldn’t be good. But I addressed that and am very happy. Even got used to the chick squawking at me out of the grip. But I’ll mute her if I take to the woods.

Thats awesome. I also think its a cool gun but glad to hear it actually is not just in theory but in use. I definitely am still interested in this in the future. Will keep following your posts and others whenever they get them.

Like all latest and greatest, this will fade onto page two, then three in no time. As of now I have nothing left to say about it. And while that might not be good for keeping the hype alive, it’s good for owners. Big long topics aren’t always positive. When an issue arises, it will be interesting diagnosing it because I’m still a little green with Skouts design. But it’s well thought out so I’m no concerned. If I could make one change I would. I have dry fired a couple times and also squeezed the trigger without pushing the safety button. The chick in the grip does comment when you don’t push the button but she needs to drop some profanity when you do something stupid.
