CARBON BULL BARRELS & AFTERMARKET SOLID CONSTRUCTION BULL BARRELS
Traditional Solid Bull Barrel
SKOUT® Carbon Bull Barrel
With the introduction of the EVO platform, SKOUT® Air guns has transitioned to a composite bull style barrel as well as developing several traditional full weight steel bull barrels.
Carbon Composite Bull Factory Barrels:
The factory composite bull barrels use a thick carbon outer wall, permanently bonded to an alloy liner. The solid carbon fiber wall provides similar relative stiffness and dampening properties when compared to a solid steel bull barrel at a reduced weight. The new EVO carbon composite bull barrel provides extreme versatility for sportsmen, enthusiasts, and competitors of all levels and disciplines. SKOUT®’s carbon composite bull barrel adds tremendous value to the EVO platform.
Due to the barrel’s lower cost, an air gun enthusiast can more readily afford a larger selection of barrel lengths, calibers, and configurations while still using a singular EVO air gun platform.
Factory Steel Bull Barrels:
SKOUT® engineers validate barrel design theory with real world testing, each EVO configuration is extensively tested at our on site 100 yard indoor range prior to approval for production. Utilizing this type of testing, our engineers and shooting team are able to determine an optimized shooting solution for every caliber and projectile type.
In pursuit of optimized “out of the box” accuracy, some models of EVO will be offered with traditional steel full weight bull barrels manufactured within SKOUT®’s supply chain.
Aftermarket Barrels: Factory tested & optionally equipped.
SKOUT®, has partnered with several barrel manufactures to offer aftermarket barrels factory direct. These barrels will be co-branded with their manufacture, as well as factory tested in our 100 yard indoor range before shipment, even when the barrel is purchased separately.
As an example; SKOUT®’s first aftermarket collaboration is a full weight steel bull barrel in .22 caliber featuring polygonal rifling and a 1:15.75 twist. This traditional bull barrel is produced for SKOUT® by Lothar Walther, we currently consider this to be one of our most accurate barrels.
EVO BARREL INDEXING SYSTEM*
* (Carbon Bull-Style Barrels Only)
Retention tabs rotate, when unlocked, to allow adjustable alignment.
Indexing your barrel has never been easier or more approachable.
The revised barrel lock system of the EVO allows the shooter to index their barrel without removing it from the air gun. The EVO barrel lock offers infinite adjustment, precise alignment and secure retention.
Indexing your barrel is as simple as loosening the two barrel securement locks, rotating the barrel and locking it back down. For precision shooters this allows rapid adjustment, . The barrel itself is marked with indexing numbers, providing the ability to return the barrel to its previously indexed position after service or transport.
If a shooter does not choose to utilize the indexing feature, no additional steps are required to secure the barrel when compared to taking advantage of the indexing function. A feature with no drawbacks, enthusiasts retain a simple removal and install, while the a serious shooter gains a ballistic advantage.
*It should be noted that solid steel bull barrels are designed with a fixed orientation and cannot be indexed.
