Daystate Blackwolf information

Should I be worried about the balanced valve with this gun? My guns spend most of their lives as a standby suburban varmint rifles waiting for the next pest to shoot. As such, the first shot accuracy is very important to me as sometimes, one shot is all I get for days or even weeks. With my guns, I tune them for this and I'm happy if the first shot velocity is within 10 FPS of what it normally shoots.

I'm not willing to dry fire before taking a shot as this is a deal breaker for me, but is it really the only sure way of getting an accurate shot with a balanced valve?

My M-Rod Superlight with JSAR balanced valve will have a low first shot velocity if it has not been used in a while. Once I cycle it a couple of times the low velocity issue is gone for the day. But if I let the rifle sit for several days or so then it needs to be cycled. I can deal with that but if every magazine has a first shot low velocity or if the rifle sits for a few minutes (vs hours or days) and then needs to be cycled then that is a no go for a hunting rifle.

Although i have no idea... it would seem simple enough to cycle your action once or twice before leaving the house or barn or wherever. The Blackwolf does have a very good shot count, esp with a proper reg/hammer setting and the larger calibers have a big plenum.

It is not that simple. If a rifle is kept at near ready, it could sit for several days between need. If I were to have to cycle the rifle before taking my shot, that just would not do for opportunistic pesting. The rifle that sits at my door at ready is not regulated nor balanced for that reason.

What is the shot counts for a .25 and .30 with a tube? I do not see that on the website, maybe I missed it?

I have no info on the larger calibers esp with the tube.

This just in:
Regarding the Blackwolf Ring height selection or choice issue.
It would seem that the Bell housing size on the scope is also a big factor in choosing a ring height.
AOA advises using a high or adjustable set of rings if you have a scope like the Sightron S3 with the 60 mm bell housing.
That said, both scope height to clear the magazine and size of scopes bell housing, will play a big factor in choosing the right set of rings.
