Yeah to be honest I keep eyeing that because I don't have a Tac long version and part of me JUST WANTS one but I am holding strong for the new models lol.

 

[mr007s]

From what I heard the new ones with new innovations will cost a good bit more. I wasnt interested in a mini or the 15 inch barrel one or shooting slugs. The Tac 18 will do me well.

Nobody knows that yet but safe to assume for sure, I am also mostly waiting for the new ones due to the barrel options, I need a slug dedicated Evol.

While I have had good results with small slugs out of my 15", this is what I am waiting for too. Something that can push and stabilize 26-34 grain slugs but not be too awful long and heavy.

The new line up SHOULD be able to do 34 and higher but we will see right?!

i think they have some 15" EVOLs not a 100% i know there was a LOT of them spoken for but i would call and ask.

i was shooting some zans and they were good at 20, 30 yards and good enough out to 50 yards but i also want a dedicated slug gun.
it looks like we will have a wait for the .223 or .257 cal HPS guns but that just gives me time to save.
i and on the fence between teh .223 or the .257 i think Tom said the .257 had the better BC

I just noticed the butt stock on your EVOL 22. The pic of them on Airguns of Arizona is not the same. I placed my order yesterday. I like the type shown on their website better. I sure hope that is what I get. See photo attached

mine is the 15" i think Tom uses the lighter stocks on the 15" as well as the MINI, but mot a 100%?
my only complaint with the stock on mine is i have no adjustability ( short of taking it to the shop ) other than the scope. the leanth of pull is a tad short for me.

i bought a used magpull stock, same as whats on my .30 EVOL. i hope to have it in the week.
if i had not found a used one i would have maybe bought a new one a bit farther down the line?
honestly i have gotten use to it so maybe not?

@mr007s
did you ever hear anything on yours?

I have read over this thread again and dont see the length of your barrel posted. The listing on AOV described mine as 18" Tatacil. I hope that is why the butt stock is shown differant . There is no mention of which one in the specs on the site. Fingers crossed!

Thank you, that easys me mind. I am pretty sure the mini and 15" are sporting the smaller butt stock and the 18 comes with a Magpul

Mini’s have the Magpul collapsible. 15” carbine have the fixed Magpul carbine stock and the 18” rifles have Magpul PRS lites.

 

[mr007s]

Thank you, good info

 

[pan60]

i looked at the Magpul PRS lites that wood have been the direction of choice if i had not grabed a used gen 3. i dont remember just how much, but it shaves a little more weight off and you have have the adjustabilety you might need.

 

[American Air Arms]

A lot. The lite is not much more than a collapsible. Good for the field. Gen3 for the bench or serious PRS.

 

[pan60]

love the lite stock might even put one on sister the mini

 

[Scriv]

By all descriptions this rifle with the 18" barrel sounds like perfection to me. Oh boy here we go.

 

[pan60]

I have the 18" on my .30 cal and first I can it will be a 15" just need to pony up the money for all the parts.
