  • Question
Daystate  Alpha Safari

I purchased an Alpha Wolf Safari HP in .177.
The manual recommends 10.3gn Sovereign pellets up to 30ft pounds.Youd think that as this is the recommended pellet Daystate would have included that weight pellet as an option in the factory settings on the rifle. Instead my rifle only lists 13.4 and 15.89.
It’s a pain to use the custom settings as you have to create and save a setting before it can be tested and once saved it cannot be edited to make adjustments to velocity etc.

anyone else have an Alpha Wolf HP in .177 and has that weight listed in the factory settings?

Anyone seen this chrony?? I had no idea...

Anyone saw this....

Question for everyone.

I was wanting some advice on purchasing a new scope. I'm a big fan or Arken, and DNT.. I have several as well as Discovery HD and Athlon's + Riton..
and few more as well.. But I was wanting to try something different.
I see Element Helix often and have read some conflicting reviews here. Crimson Trace is another name that pops up as well as Vortex Viper, Venom...
Does anyone know of a sub $500 scope that beats the ones I'm already using? Most of the scopes I use are sub $500..
Thanks

comes with barrel covers but I never cared for them in the rear.

With the right projectile I have got groups under 1in at 100yd

PCP Rifle  NLA Western Airguns Rattler .357

*** GONE ***

I bought this gun pre-owned from AoA late last year and have only been able to shoot it one time. Then, the State of CA in its infinite wisdom closed down our local range, so I have no place to shoot even an airgun this powerful anymore. So I'm putting it up for sale.

I asked for the gun to be tuned for JSB 81gr pellets as I was going to start with those. I've made no changes to the tune.

Comes with soft case.

Asking $1,875 shipped (CONUS), with payment via PP F&F.

Thanks,
Tom

Daystate  Building a Blackwolf for HFT

We will get to the Blackwolf in a second but first some background.
I enjoy all Airgun related activities. Besides trying to start a new airgun range and field target club in the Mobile Alabama area called, S.A.G.E. short for Southern Air Gun Enthusiasts. I also enjoy helping new shooters get started and helping them discover what they like and often i help them find and set up their stuff. It's not as painful helping other people spend "their money". I'll post some pictures this weekend as time permits.

My newest shooter is 78 years young; he's in great health but he is still 78. After trying all my different (i have "20" too many) PCP air rifles he decided most all of them were just too heavy. Money wasn't a problem so he wanted something snazzy, and lighter.
Weight considered, the closest option i had that was to his liking was my Redwolf L.P. version with a 300 CC bottle; the turkish walnut is the lightest stock for a Redwolf. This RW currently has a pretty big Sightron S3 on top.

Hmmm... pause

In steps the Blackwolf in the entry level model. I suggested and he agreed to place a pre-inventory order with AOA 2 - months back? It arrived late last night 10 April 2025 too late to play with or take pictures. AOA had already done the hard work. They Tuned it Down for HFT <20 FPE and kindly shared their experience in doing this tune along the way. I already shared some of this tune info in another thread called Blackwolf Information.

The first thing i noticed at 3:30 a.m. this morning, during some initial setup, was just how light this PCP was.
AOA put a 300 CC btl on it per request to keep the weight down.
With the Athlon scope and wheel shown, the all in weight is 10 lbs 3 ounces. which includes a PRS single shot loader and a PRS M-Lok to UIT adapter.

The second thing i noticed was: you better use medium, or better yet, HIGH scope rings.
I initially tried my ol “slam the scope down as close to the barrel as you can, using low mount rings. No worky, the 50 mm bell on the Athlon Ares BTR Gen3 HD 2.5-15x50 using low rings the bell was probably going to touch once the pic rings were tightend up. I ended up temporarily using some Eagle Vision 30mm inf adjust rings i had laying around and they worked fine.


This particular Athlon scope may get replaced with the Maven RS.5 4-24x50mm in SFP depending on which scope reticle and weight the end user likes prefers. https://mavenbuilt.com/collections/riflescopes/products/rs-5-4-24x50-sfp?variant=38111355240619

Even in a <20 FPE tune this .177 had a BARK. So after trying several different moderators I chose the Weihrauch moderator as it IS the quietest option that i had. https://www.airgunspares.com/weihrauch15unfweihrauchsilencer12unf.html

got off early today and went straight to work on the Blackwolf.

First thing was to chronograph it to see if it was Hft legal.

reg pressure was at 120
power wheel was at 10

jsb 13.43’s were flying around 915 FPS.
Too hot for Hft so I began turning down the power wheel and at 6 I hit the sweet spot of 815 FPS….

Based on experience with my Ghost, I chose 30 yards as my starting point for zero; and it was a good choice.
I had a 5-7 mph wind right to left but was still able to lock it in Within a click or two. I’ll fine tune or adjust a click or two later when the wind disappears.

The Blackwolf did not disappoint!

25 shots at 30 yards… see picture - those are 1/8” blocks. 4 outliers out of 25 from a wee bit of a wiggly bench. I made no attempt to correct for the wind.
This wolf likes the JSB 13.43 exacts.
45 shots were avg of 813.8 FPS on my Garmin C1 chrono

I found it easy to get a good eye box, on the bench, but there isn’t much room on the Blackwolf to move things around unless you have some sort of adapter.

This Blackwolf, as tuned, is very air efficient. If time permits this weekend I’ll try to get a full shot count from a 230 bar fill to the reg setting at 120 bar.
i did create a basic dope chart from 10 - 30 yards by taking actual shots and every shot by the 1/2 yard was very predictable and consistent.

diablos vs hollow points for rats

I have been using predator hollow points for years to eliminate rats using an old .177 discovery. I recently picked up a couple of tins of rifle premium series 8.33 grn .177 Diablo style pellets. Color me impressed! I am still getting 930fps and they are accurate out of my disco out to 20 yards, I am getting about a .45" group at 20 yards. Not world-class but devastating on rats. The profile on these is much closer to a flat point than other "round nose" pellets I have used and they wack the critters with authority, generally not exiting on the far side with body shots. I need to get a few pictures but at a lower cost, and better accuracy, I think I have found my new favorite pest removal pellet. What are your experiences with round nose vs hollowpoint on pests?

N/A  Speak up Springer Shooters

Several,places on the forum have information about the Pyrmid Air Cup. Nothing for springer shooters outside of firld target. If you have interest get on some of these threads and express a desire for benchrest for springers.
Don't ask and you won't get.

Tuning  Tuning regulator - can you have a reg set too low?

When tuning a gun with a regulator, is there a minimum reg pressure where the gun will start doing not so well?

My experience is with the Taipan Veteran Short .25 caliber. When I bought it a few months ago, I tuned it to 25 FPE with the JSB King 25.39gr. pellets. The reg pressure ended up at 65 bars and the hammer spring tension was tuned to the knee about 2% less than maximum. This tune was shooting the JSB King at 670 FPS. I would zero the rifle and think everything is good only to miss a 27 meter kill shot that requires a follow up shot the next day on a squirrel.

That distance is very comfortable for me as I've went a good stretch with my 30 FPE Veteran Long without missing a shot. I know how that sounds but I'm not trying to brag. I'm just trying to understand if it's really me.

I will then check my zero again at 33 meters and has always been hard keeping it within half an inch or so.

After I missed my last squirrel a few days ago, I decided to re-tune the gun to 32 FPE with the same pellets. The regulator ended up at 95 bars with the pellets going 755 FPS. I've only shot paper yet, but I find it's much easier to hit bullseye with this new tune.

Yes, I know 755 FPS is faster than 670 FPS so I believe it does help with lock time some but I feel it's not the major contributing factor since MANY people are accurate with velocities much slower than 670 FPS. Could it be the pellet is just not accurate at that speed with my barrel? By raising the reg pressure, does the gun now have better harmonics than when it was lower? Is the 95 bar pressure better for this pellet because it accelerates it quicker and creating a better seal when compared to the slow acceleration at 65 bar reg?

These are some of the variables that I think is affecting my gun. I'm starting to believe that for a particular gun/pellet combination, there might be an ideal reg pressure that will allow the projectile to seal against the barrel properly and accelerate it fast enough and have time to settle down before exiting the barrel. I don't know... I'm not too versed in this stuff but I'm just reporting what I'm seeing and experiencing firsthand.
