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?
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.

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.

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...
Does anyone know if the magazine used with the EVOL HPS Raptor or Apex is any longer than the earlier guns? Of course if the receiver slot is the same, then the magazine is the same.
Solo-1 and PapaT, you both give legislators too much credit. I don't think they come up with ideas, even ones like outlawing airguns, on their own. I'm curious about what is prompting their behavior. Who or what is prompting new laws by promising some up side to the legislator? This is...
So what entity, lobby, ngo or satanic cult is pushing this? Legislators are dim and lazy, interested only in a paycheck, retirement benefits, power over others and a nice social life supported by lobbyists. The only way they write bills for consideration to become law is if someone or some...
Hi Dana! What does Tom C. think of the Mora, specifically the valving? I have an American Air Arms EVOL and a RTI rifle. I enjoy and trust them both, the RTI is easy to work on (I've never had to wrench on the AAA) but when a 'coon gets into the henhouse, I reach for the RTI....power!
It...
