I am just about to buy a Skout Epoch in the UK, and it's costing me the equivalent of $3.02345 and that's a good price, whereas you guys pay $1,999 which is just £1.57027!

If there was a cheaper way ......... I don't think personal import would cut it, it's not like importing a container load on wholesale.

Mind you, I guess you get hammered by UK imports such as Daystate just looked at the price of an Alpha Wolf in the US, and it's a similar mark-up although not quite as much.

I'd be very curious to hear your conclusion. When I bought my EVO, it was down to those two. And I'm still considering getting the Alpha Wolf Sapphire...I suspect the Epoch is a far better gun than my Alpha Wolf, but I shall see.

I must admit that I had accuracy problems with the AW when I got it a year ago, but I sorted it myself after getting nowhere with DS (maybe I am fated when it comes to manufacture help) anyway IMO the AW is far more suited to unrestricted power as the software for sub 12 is abysmal and lacks a lot of settings, but I have mine configured so I can set pellet weight and power but obviously sub 12 but it much better that way, but I do like the gun, but it did take me a while to get used to it being the first bull pup I have owned and found it a bit hold sensitive, I have since took on a Reximex Throne project and that is far better as far as accuracy is concerned but like I said I find it easier to shoot well.
I will keep you posted on my thoughts about the comparison when I get the Epoch which I am looking forward to as I have wanted one ever since they came out, and love the technology, but price made it not an option at the time I bought the AW or the outcome would have been quite different.
