Skout Skout evo weight ??

[Trucker3573]

Think I asked in another thread at some point but don’t remember. Has anyone actually weighed their evo un scoped with the regular non heavy bull barrel??
Guys that own one in your opinion is it still too heavy to be a carry in the woods gun ?

Pyramid lists it at 11.4 lbs .

Yeah I saw in the comments of Nate’s video that he weighed it at around that too. Man that seems super heavy. Thought it was more around 8.5. Yikes if it is actually 11

For some reason I am remembering Bill Gardner saying the gun is light enough to carry around, without the arca rail installed.

I am hoping they develop a more traditional/multi-purpose gun in the future. (Something like an S510 but with more power) They have several different paintball guns. They can do the same with their air guns. A high end, a mid-range and if possible... an entry level.

Wow. If so, definitely not one to be carrying around, especially if that's the dry weight and not fully kitted out.

I question that. Maybe with heavy bull barrel. I found an old pre production facebook post from bill gardner that said they didn’t have an official weight yet but should be 8-8.5 lbs

I asked that very question to the folks that make it. Without the arca rail and with the skeletonized butt they say it weighs 8.5 pounds.

Thanks man. Not light but honestly not terrible

That’s a whole lot better than 11.4.

I've noticed some vendor websites have air rifles weights listed what appears to be wrong. Utah Airguns for instance.

11 lbs 4 oz, as pictured, less the tripod and ammo (the mag is empty).

That’s some serious setup there with the Nightforce NX8. Beautiful color too.

Maybe they’re listing the shipping weight lol. I noticed that too.

Thank you! As I get up there, this perishable skill hobby gets more and more difficult. My eyes are not what they used to be, so higher magnification and clarity are really important to me and worth paying for, especially if I'm trying to be competitive.

I've only had all-black air guns for years now, but I saw Centercut's orange Evo and loved it, and it stopped my M4 upgrade in its tracks. I drew the vectors for CNC cutting the orange vinyl stickers for the rotational inset relief areas on the DonnyFL Yokozuna moderator, and after affixing them, I was a little disappointed that the colors didn't match better. It's not bad, just a little off. I still thought it was an okay color accent, so long as it doesn't cheapen the anodizing job. It is a really pretty orange anodizing against that black.

Heavy little guy, though.
