The gun comes with a full set of Allen keys, two of which fit the regs he was trying to adjust with a rabid dog…

And
Skout still stood behind their product.
Water pump pliers taken to the mechanism in a glaringly obvious case of owner misuse and abuse, and they still issued a refund.

You must be kidding.
Here you go:
Please always look at the regular owners reviews who are not on FX payroll.

Yeah there’s plenty of great review videos on the Panthera but almost nothing on the Skout Epoch. I meant to say that people are not getting good results with the Skout Epoch. I’ll try to go back and edit my comment for clarity.

Lemme guess…you would have bought 2 Atomic XR’s ?
not at all. Got no interest in Brocock guns but I would have bought the FX Panthera instead and probably still will now that I received my refund.Upvote 0
Yes, buy it and have fun with the liner straightening https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/ernest-barrel-straightening.543173/page-2#post-1452216

The quality and accuracy of the skout is like no other gun IMHO, the customer service was next level. The gun shoots better in all ways compared to my FX m3 and uragan 2. I had a issue with the regulator leaking. I called skout, they next day air shipped me every internal component of the gun for free. The problem ended up being Teflon tape from the foster fill port blew into the reg. You can see in the 3rd picture. They will go above and beyond to help a customer. Even giving person cell numbers if ever a issue. So the skout is a bad ass piece of kit so far.

..... your only post is here in a skout thread? That group is IMO is not the group of a phenomenal piece of machinery.. just because it cost a lot doesn't mean its great.
Ive also handled a skout and its so massive and awkward it belongs bolted down to a bench in my opinion.
Heres a 50 yard 11 shot group with a .25 Airacuda Max for $420.00

Isn't that 9/10 airguns these days? 12 lb impacts, extra long barrels to appeal to slug shooters and power chasers that make for 40-50" long AR's...900cc of air because why not, don't you need 500 shots while out in the field? Or are manufacturers just trying to one up eachother and win on paper here....

I love a good shot count man , I know @L.Leon gets good shot counts out of his tube rifles tuned how they are, my huben k1 .22 is 130+ shots per fill not even filled to the max making 25 fpe and it too is a tube. Also a small handy rifle. I think you're 100% right with the last statement.

These are the smart part guys from paintball. It would not surprise me one bit if they get this thing to market, sell a bunch, then close shop and start a new company.

Nobody said anything about slugs in the post I replied to and with an inch and a half group group at less than 40 yards from a 3000 dollar rifle I'd be ashamed ... slug or pellet.

I think it would be a mistake to say barrel, CUZ it is barrels ( Plural ) as you get 3 with the epoch.
I dont think they are particular expensive, but i have asked for a 1 barrel version for us that really need to cut as much of the price to ever being able to buy one / justify buying one.
For a group to be phenomenal for me, aside for it of course need to be small, the hole it leave in the paper must also be round, at least if its any reasonable distance like < 50 Y / M, longer out and i will accept more ragged holes or more spread.
For instance i have yet to make a 1 hole group shooting 75 / 100 M with my .177, but i have some times had 5 shots be less than 1" CTC and maybe a few even touching, which i feel are pretty damn good for the pea caliber i shoot.
