EVOL Paradigm NRL22 show and tell

[Woogie_man]

After talking with Tom and sending back the HPS30 of course the match director decided to post a match. Well decided to pack up the gun and went to the match. The range was quite muddy and extremely wet, and honestly was nervous of using the Paradigm in the wet and damaging the stock. So I kept the rifle in the case and shot the gun with my RimX. After we were done shooting the match we were standing around and talking and a few of the guys wanted a try with the "BB Gun". So out came the Paradigm and let the guys shoot the rifle from 50 yards out to 100 yards. These were guys that were shooting from the cheaper end of the rilfes all the way up to full blown custom rifles.

ALL of them were smiling from ear to ear after shooting the Paradigm. The ease of cocking was noted as well as the low noise from the rifle. The sound of the impact was noted as well, as many though of a "bb gun" not being able to move a steel target at 100 yards. Now being that we were shooting prone and a dry position there was no issue with the rifle getting wet or mucky. They asked how the rifle would do on a stage, so we moved to the stage with the KYL rack at 50 yards and prone. Was able to get 10 shots off with 10 hits in under 1 minute. Two other shooters gave it a spin on the KYL and were able to clear the rack as well....with much ease and giggling when finished. Was asked multiple times to bring the rifle out again next month.

They were interested in the FX Panthera that my buddy was shooting but he had scope issues and has to get that straightened out. So next month will have more than 2 airguns there with the Paradigm and the Fx Panthera. Will bring more with as well to try and set that hook in the shooters.

Nicely done, setting the hook and letting the Paradigms’ performance speak for itself. Quite devilish of you…

Clearing a KYL at 100 with any airgun from the prone (vs. a bench) is awesome. Kudos for doing it with a Paradigm! Other airguns may work but lack the class and refinement. ...just kidding around all you FX guys, kinda

Had to change that.....the KYL was at 50 yards. Sorry about that miss typed that.

It is still pretty damned good, especially wth a .22 vs. a .30, every little bit helps or doesn't, whatever the case may be.

Nice! Did they ask you how much that "bb gun" cost?

Mine has paid for itself vs shooting an AR as much as I've shot mine since I've owned it.

So true. I have multiple ARs and other powder burners that have been collecting dust. I've pretty much given up on looking for ammo and gawk at the prices they go for at the fun store. However, when a good deal comes along, I'll jump at it.

Of course they did, and after they picked up their jaw they kept shooting. Lol

My powder guns have been sitting for sometime as well. These are much cheaper to shoot and easier to find locations to shoot as well.

I am waiting for either a slug barrel in 22 and swap the rifle over to a dedicated slug gun....or wait for an HPS25 and use that as a dedicated nrl22 gun.
