$1300?? You have my attention .

Imagine that lol Me too.

 

[FL22]

@High Pressure is this an introductory price to get things going? What is the MSRP?

Expected shipping date?

 

[FL22]

Imagine that lol Me too.

I might have to request my Birthday present early lol.

WOW eye on!

I’m Leary of prepaying $1300 on the promise of a March shipping date. The airgun industry seems to operate on the same principle of the computer industry in the 1980’s with “vaporware”, over promise and under deliver as far as shipping dates. I’m still waiting on my fully paid for AV Bell target lol. A deposit similar to what AOA does would seem more in line.

I'd like to see an actual picture and some solid details on specs before any sort of commitment to pre buy.

Absolutely, I messaged to find out if I would be charged at shipment on a preorder - No, in full at time of purchase.

So, I’m pumping the brakes. I’m still very interested in knowing the MSRP, that could make me consider it.

I’m okay with a deposit for a regular price if it’s something that I want.

I am also okay with prepaying if it’s a substantial savings, but no one is holding my money and not doing me any favors .

 

[FL22]

Starting to look like a $1399 MSRP.

That’s what the Skout website indicates.

I applaud your spidey-sense and yes I remember the vaporware of yore. Tom runs a pretty taut ship at HighPressure Pneumatics and sells quite a few Skout Airguns and also has a team of shooters that do quite well with his set-ups. I am certain we will hear more from Skout (on another thread I am aware of on this site) and from HPP. Just waiting now on that proverbial slow boat from Taiwan.

Nope. I’ll wait for your review. I don’t want to be the guinea pig.

Great price on that Tom! Should sell out quick. I want one.

 

[JungleShooter]

I am sorry:
I am a die-hard bullpup man....

But....:
Over the years, I have made room in my heart for some FSR's (Folding Stock Rifles).


➠ So, the Skout in question of the OP qualifies on that account.



Also, for years, I thought:
"Semi-auto is just a frilly thrill!"

Well, after the many times that feral pigeons tried to prove to me the size of their bird brain —
and remained sitting next the their comrade that I just murdered with a .22cal pellet —
I finally saw the light of semi-auto!!


So, I'm looking at the shape of the Skout —
and wonder:


➊ Why is the action so tall, so massive, so over-proportioned in comparison to the rest of the gun...?
➧ Visual appeal:
Skout, please, fire your industrial designer, if you haven't already.



➋ Why — if I rest the bottle on a field support like a bag on a fence — why does the scope sit so high above....?

➧ Balance of the rested gun:
Skout, rethink your action, please, and move stuff forward and backward — instead of downward from the barrel..... — RTI is a good model of this right.



The very, very friendly MRSP might still convince me to overcome problems in visual appeal and balance —
because the semi-auto bug has bitten me —
and it has bitten me BAD.

Ive got the Karma SLS 25 caliber semi auto and it's very addictive! Overall the gun in standard form is fairly heavy but man it's accurate. I also have the bug....you are not alone!

 

[Dairyboy]

Well I guess im one of the suckers giving it a try lol. Im all in on this one.

 

[elwoodblues]

Yep I'm all in too, they claim march shipping and I'll bet they keep that shipping time. This will look nice next to my Huben and Karma sls. I placed my order a couple of weeks ago. They are building and testing guns as we speak.
