EVOL EVOL on the way

[hameditor]

I am a right-handed shooter but have found a left hand cocking lever quite OK to use. One prime example is the Umarex Notos which has left-hand cocking but is widely regarded as a great little gun by many right-handers. Good luck with your new purchase

Thanks for all the helpful words guys. I was beside myself when I unpacked it, but now there’s some light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve never owned a lefty cocking rifle before, so it’s definitely a learning curve.

Plus one on that, I'm a lefty and I thought I'd swap my Ghosts lever to the left side when i got it....nope, hasn't happened yet Love it on the right side, matches my S510 and it's caused me zero issues on bench or pesting. Evol & you could be different of course.... Here's hoping!

There you go. Expecting mine to arrive Monday.

I've had both left and right versions of the Evol and have found from the bench or off a tripod the left hand version is better...for walking around I prefer the right side.

 

[Scriv]

Well, after two weeks of waiting it has arrived. I opened the box, and the first bad thing happened. No magazine. Well, that sucks. Second, I handed it to my wife, and without hesitation she notices it's lack of heft, turns to me and says "well, you just lost this one".

is it used? I don't get the lack of heft?
the tube is titanium and super light that cuts down on the overall weight.
these things are built like tanks?

Lack of heft? Means she just acquired a new gun…

Exactly. I'm always in trouble when I get that look. On the other hand it means that I get to buy a replacement.

went out back as the light faded, and dialed it in as best I could.

Yes, it is used. I phoned the dealer, and they are sending the magazine, actually a brand new one. The EVOL is the lightest air rifle we have. Noticably so. The gun is in pristine condition. I'm fussy, and I couldn't find a mark on it.

Battle scars are nothing to be ashamed of if you win the war. It looks like you won, nice quick group too!

Thanks. It was quick. I look forward to receiving the magazine, and setting down to shooting some groups to find out what is possible.

Ah, but what sweet trouble to be in you lucky dog… Looking forward to your further impressions of your wife’s Evol…

I must admit that it felt very natural, comfortable. Easy to dial in without any surprises as if I have been shooting it for some time. I look forward to getting to know it better.

Exactly! Well put. There are very few surprises, they just work, and work well.

What a beauty she is!!

Well thank you. It's beauty lies in it's function for sure.

Afterwards I realized that I didn't think about the trigger too much, which is a good thing. I was conscious of it due to all the remarks about it being light pull. Over coffee this morning I decided that it maybe was not as light as I expected, but was certainly nice enough that I didn't want to change it. By my scale it breaks at eight ounces, every time. That'll do.
