40 gn is a big load for that gun. Curious how they perform at 100

Didn't honestly try at 100 yards. Without gaining any speed didn't want to bounce them off the indoor range roof! But at 20 yards they were making a single hole.

The velocity for 5 shots was 780, 772, 772, 772, 772. When I made one full revolution on the hammer spring I got to 760, 763, 763, 765, 762. I am sure I could bump up the regulator, but don't want to do that yet.

I did try the H&N 217 slugs in 25 grain shot good at 50 and 100 yards. Though I did bump the hammer spring up a full turn. Will back it down to bring the speed down a little bit.

This gave me a great starting point to do some fine tuning, and a range for the hammer setting.

I will put some pictures up.tomorrow Tom. Got home and spending time with the kiddos. Ended up spending 4 hours at the range today. Getting off at 1400 really makes going to the range easy.

Woogie_man I hate to be the one to break it to you, but that looks Ike only two yards.
Seriously, a lot of those groups look good, especially that single hole H&N. The real test is long range where some of them might become unstable and other's not

That's how you get good groups!

Yeah the H&N looked good. I did test them at 100 yards and the groupings were not horrible, but not great either. Though I did up the hammer tension buy a full revolution, so the speeds pushed up quite a bit.

I was able to push the 18.1 grain pellets close to 1100 fps though! That was just for fun

@Woogie_man how are you liking the Donny on there? I bought the ryu for my PROD and just 1 section worked wonders but that rifle also only makes 15 fpe.

 

[Woogie_man]

I like it. Though honestly there isn't much difference between the RYU, Shogun, and the stock unit. I like the quick detach so I can fit the gun in a little smaller of a case.

When shooting all of them I see zero POI change, which is good.

Here is my Paradigm, pretty sure its the first in Canada as I had to import it myself, really happy to be shooting it!

Those Paradigm's are beauties! Well worth importing for sure. Which reticle did you choose on the NX8 2.5-20×50? That's my NX8 2.5-20 with the Horus Tremor3 reticle on the previous page, shooting silhouettes with the Slayer.

 

[Dairyboy]

Looking great guys! Haven't shot mine in probably a month or so. Should break it out while weather is at least decent at the moment

I have the MOAR version

What's at the end of the moderator nut? Is it just open threads? Would be nice if there was a muzzle brake that could be timed for alignment.

 

[CTAirgunner]

Well I have been searching for one of these for a while now!

I've got a trifecta going on now, Evol Mini .22, Slayer .357, and Evol Paradigm .30 , each and every @americanairarmsofficial product is a thing of beauty, true masterpieces and all built with quality in mind.

I was able to score the accurate 158 gr hp mould as well so will be casting this winter.

I am torn on optic on it, I'm thinking an lpvo 1-10 or some other form of compact scope on it.

I am so freaking stoked!

You don't realize how compact these rifles are till you have one in hand. This one is an excellent example. I'm hoping to shoot it this weekend!

Just break down and slap an Acog on that mother and call it a day!

Would love to find one of those for deer hunting. Though I am more likely to get my wife to come hunting with me first.

That's a nice one for sure, and groups fantastic with that mold. I've been through all kinds of scopes and really came to like the small LPVO units. I have a Nightforce NX8 1-8×24 that I can print pretty good long range groups with that I've had on my Slayer, but currently trying the NX8 2.5-20×50 Tremor3 reticle. It's a good holdover reticle, but I don't think I like it for hunting so it's getting swapped back out for the 1-8×24. Plus I actually like the fixed parallax, even if it is at 125 yards. Here's how the small NX8 1-8×24 looks on them.

Would love to find one of those for deer hunting.

yea that would be idea but around here if i recal we have to have a .40 or .45 minimum for deer.
but if these guns go into production next year it might give me a good excuse to add one more to my want list.
for now my next gun will most likley be the EVOL mini.

That is definitely a compact setup! I am going to move my foregrip back like yours, but I also like the sling swivel it has that takes up some realestate.

 

[CTAirgunner]

Update to my Mini. Went with the Helos BTR Gen2 2-12x42 and PRS Lite stock. Loves the new JTS 18gr btw and switched to shooting them exclusively now.View attachment 2047

Think I am going to put one of these Helos on my Mini as well as on the new Slayer as well.

It's a fantastic scope! I don't think you'd be disappointed with it.

Everything I read says the pros far outweigh the cons so I will give it a shot , 1 for now if it goes well I will grab another for the other rifle
