Our experience with the EVOL Mini HPS

When testing this air rifle, the excellent balance is immediately noticeable despite its compact length of only 83 cm. The Magpul OD Green polymer stock feels familiar to anyone who has worked with AR15 platforms. Weighing 2.4 kg, the air rifle sits stably in the hand and the side lever action is exceptionally smooth – exactly what you would expect from a high-end American manufacturer.

Technology and performance

The EVOL Mini HPS operates on a PCP system with a maximum fill pressure of 310 bar / 4500 PSI. The ultra-light 298 mm barrel with cut rifling guarantees sub-MOA precision. The 9-shot airgun magazine in combination with the single action trigger system ensures rapid follow-up shots. The integrated 50 MOA Picatinny rail provides space for any rifle scope without extreme turret adjustments.

Use and operation

This air rifle stands out due to its external adjustment options. The regulator, hammer spring power, and valve dwell are all externally adjustable – a dream for anyone who likes to fine-tune. The trigger system is adjustable between 8 and 10 ounces and the ambidextrous safety makes it suitable for both left- and right-handed shooters. The adjustable stock adapts perfectly to your shooting position.

Who is this PCP air rifle intended for?

The EVOL Mini HPS is not an entry-level model but a specialist big bore rifle for the advanced shooter. With its powerful .30 caliber and all tuning options, it is ideal for shooters who want maximum control over their performance. The compact dimensions also make it suitable for situations where a full-size air rifle would be too cumbersome.
