I've had the Air ranger, air wolf, Mk IVis and the Wolverine B-Type and they're all fine, but in terms of actually shooting or out-shooting others? They don't. The electronic ones are pretty unemotional things to shoot and the others didn't exactly set the world on fire for me. I don't think the B-Type is actually regulated either. It's got the Harper slingshot valve system that does almost as good a job, but there is still something of a power curve. Service costs are also fiendishly high - for no accountable reason that I can see. There's also a feeling that the best Daystate was in fact the baby of the range, the Huntsman - before it turned into the Regal.
They do make some very good looking guns, but the point of an air rifle is to shoot stuff, and with Daystate these days, you're paying premium prices for something that won't do anything more than the others. If you want one, go for it, but it won't make you a better shooter!
Had an MVT, sold it. My Air arms was more accurate, lighter, more fun to use... If you buy a Daystate, make sure its really cheap so you wont lose out when you resell it... because you will move it on..... for sure..
The latest is a .25 FAC B-type Wolverine which I picked up for billy bargain money secondhand about the equivalent of a new top end BSA, Air Arms etc. Having looked closely at all the options at this years Game Fair give me a Daystate any day.
I perhaps I sounded a bit disingenuous! It sounds like you got a good deal - or perhaps a daystate at a price that they should be at . I would also agree that they probably do ake better FAC gun than a lot of manufacturers. I wouldn't say they were any less accurate, for sure. and they are aesthetically pleasing, but I'm not sure that at 12ft/lbs they are hundreds of pounds more gun than some of the others out there.
Daystate have done a great marketing job in order to charge very high prices for what is still a 12 ft/lb air rifle, (with a few exceptions). I have seen the rifles being made, Daystate don't make the guns, they assemble parts they bring in from elsewhere. There appears to be a belief that they actually "make" the rifles, there is a big difference between making and assembling. I would never buy one, they cost far too much for what they are and I am led to believe the after sales service is poor. I would buy an HW100 or BSA or Air Arms.
hello, both are good PCPs, i checked out the royal but in the end bought a MK1 BSA R10 22 shot 1000s of pellets never a problem sold on for what i paid, now only have a FX VERMY MK 1/ in 22, in good nick and serviced so will last me out,
I recently made a lot of enquiries about the FX Crown that was launched in the USA earlier in the year. My phone calls , e-mails where directed to them (in Sweden) their dealers in the UK and the distributor in the UK. In conclusion i wouldnt open my fly to **** on their **** service and product. Rude and condescending beyond belief. Daystate on the other hand have been excellent .
