EVOL First outing with new 22 cal EVOL Tac 18

[mr007s]

Weather was beautiful yesterday, temps in the 20's, so I hung a 25 yard target grabbed some tweezers, ammo and Evol 22 and had a go.
I was on paper at 25 yards, about 4 inches high and 2 right. Did the adjustment, and moved to the 50 yard target. Some fine tuning of the scope and I called it quits, I could hardly feel my fingers. Ammo was 18.1 JTS and around 12 rounds were spent during this session.
Went back in the house where I could thaw out and mowed the scope back one notch for better eye relief.
May be in the 40's here around noon today and I hope to fine tune some more and shoot some groups with 3 other weight pellets, I have had great 50 yard groups with the JTS semi dome ammo with my Mutant.
Mainly just shooting to break things in, before more serious tweaks. How many rounds would you say are needed for all things to settled down? So far happy happy!

About a tin of ammo is my rule of thumb but Tom runs these rifles and tunes them to his spec so you should be ready to roll out of the box if the tunes up to your standards!

Yes, I have read that But I guess it doesn't hurt to warm things up when first received.

my 15" EVOL shoots the 18 gr pellets great but the 25 gr pellets are hole in hole at 50 yards.
now if Miss Carls BRK would do that i would not be shopping for a EOL mini for the both of us. i like the BRK but i got to get that gun figured out : (

AAA, makes a great Gun. Curious as to what speeds you’re shooting the 18 and 25grs at as well as reg setting?
Thx

based on the gauge i would gues abround 1900 on the reg?
seems to me the 25 gr where around 850 range? a guess fromm a bdam memory as soon as it warms up i can check that.
on the 18's i am not sure i ever check the speed? i got those for the wifes BRK and tried them in the EVOL to see if they where good and they shot great. but i went back to shooting the 25 gr

Thanks,
My 15” came shooting the 18’s at 1010 fps and the 25”’s at 905-910. Reg is showing aprx. 2300.so a bit hot, your tune sounds more appropriate..
Thx again
Joe

mine is as i got it Tom said he set it up for thhe 25 gr and i havent touched it.
i thought maybe some time down the road about turning it down to get more shots with shooting the 18s but i have tanks and a good compressor so air reall isnt a issue so i think i am going to stay with the 25 and leave it as is.

Don’t blame you, I’d stick with that tune also. Right now if I try to adjust the hammer spring for those #’s I can’t get it back into the Stock!
Good Shooting!
