Perfect Tom, that explains things.

So the .223 and .300 receivers have a longer (axial to barrel) magazine slot?

Sales desk at AoA replied to my email asking about this: "The Evol HPS has the new balanced valve that produces more power. Additionally it has a longer barrel, so together that is where the power differences come from. As for the weights the Benchrest is 13.85lbs the Prs is 13.5lbs and the...

It makes sense from a branding standpoint that there are differences between the EVOL and new HPS models. I'm interested in the mechanical differences that might explain the power differences. I might not have made that clear above so this post is just to tidy up and focus my question. Pan, I...

It seems reasonable that there would be a significant difference between two guns with such a big performance and price difference. What is that difference?

Yeeeeeeesssss..... but what specificities lay within the easy to say but harder to define "internal HPS modifications"? Mike

I do wonder why the HPS bench and the HPS Apex are, as advertized, capable of 180 ft/lb compared to the 90 max ft/lb for the 30 PRS Super light. Surely there is more to it than a few inches of barrel length. Does the HPS platform have a different valve set up than the PRS?

Sweet! I wonder what the difference between this one and the HPS variant sold by ED Gun West called the "American Air Arms HPS Raptor" other than the latter having a 23" barrel is?

JS, I was thinking of my Immersive when I made my post. Any low buck shorty scope will need to compare to the Immersive 10 x 40 for me to be interested. Mike

Thank you for the data Pyramid! Showing a ranking or score of shooters and equipment would also be useful.

Can you discuss the range of eye relief distances and the eye box size? Mike

Thanks guidodg, I did that years ago and have been shooting happily ever since. 50.5 gr AEA pellets fly straight at 910 fps. That seems to be a sweet spot for this gun. Mike

Or a DLC coating ($).

What does it weigh?

Thank you Tom! I am wondering about the upcoming .223. Is the repeating magazine capable of cycling a 0.625" long projectile or is that long slug single loaded in a tray with the magazine requiring shorter slugs? If the magazine is longer, what other chamberings, and projectile weights, are...
