EVOL FIRST shot and the rest of 2 mags out of my Paradigm in 9 weeks.

[CTAirgunner]

I haven't shot this rifle since @Brawler1588 and @ctshooter were over, and what a great time that was, but ive been a little agitated this week with life things and figured the crisp trigger, gorgeous walnut stock, and distinct sound of my paradigm along with the ridiculous precision these rifles have would bring a smile to my face and boy was I right.



Second group I dumped another mag in, One bad wind call to the right as you see.

24 mph gusts today , I literally only shot 2 mags out of this rifle and tucked it back away.

This is why I love my Evols.

I cant post videos here but there are videos in the instagram link of the wind and the very first shot out of the rifle after 9 weeks, dead nuts at 100. It appears you can scroll without even heading into Instagram, NICE!

Anyways , 24 mph gusts, 2 mags from 3100 psi in the tank from over 2 months ago, this was blissful.

It was def a much needed stress relief, that first trigger pull and boom bullseye

First shot accuracy is the most important thing to me too. If I would have to quantify it, I would say that I would rather have a gun that would always shoot within 1.5 moa on the first shot, every time, than a gun that can shoot .5 moa eventually after a few warm up shots. No thanks, jmo. That's how my FWB124D's are. I always have to shoot them fast 10 to20 times to get them warmed up, seasoned, whatever, and then they'd shoot great. Chipmunk/pidgeon = gone!

I think that 1.5 moa every first shot is actually a really good number and I don't think every air rifle out there is capable of it.

It is, and they're not many, but I have two that can, and have, my Paradigm and my heavily modified mrod.

Actually, I think my P15 is right there now too. It should be for the money I have into that, I should have just got the Veteran.

Don't make me reminisce about my veterans lol @Madeintheuk had me thinking about them today too!

That's another example of not taking good advice given freely. Everyone told me, when I first started posting on forums, "just get the Veteran, you'll be happier in the long run," and I just couldn't do it. Really stupid of me. Of course you should reminisce about your great guns! Our memories and our mistakes, are the only things we can really call our own.

They're just another one of those boring rifles. Pick it up 6 months later and it's still hitting right where it should , doing the exact same thing.

The problem with Nirvana is it gets boring - that why the first Matrix was a failure, isn't it?

Good shooting on a very crisp windy day.

Good shooting. That's one thing I can also say about my 3 Evols. I can pull them out after weeks of sitting and the first shot is still on point. I've confirmed this at 75 yards mostly due to my limited range. I don't have a flat range but I have taken shots at a tree in the distance (75 yards) and the most it would be off is 0.1 to 0.2 mils left to right due to not accounting for wind.
