Compared Daystate Wolverine B Hi-Lite to FX Wildcat Both .25

[bowwild]

I just came from a basement range shooting session (brief). I shot my new FX Wildcat .25 and my 10 month old Daystate Wolverine B Hi-Lite also .25.

I used JSB 25.39 Exact pellets at 12 yards. 

The Wildcat shoots 863 FPS. (about 42 FPE). The photo below was taken yesterday, mid-morning on a quick sit in the squirrel woods. Since this photo (today) I've moved that MTC scope towards the butt stock about 3 inches. Feels much better. (notice the fancy (not) sling I've tied to the Wildcat.)

Those are both fine rifles. Which one has the edge in accuracy? Also.....which one is quieter?

Thanks.
I've put about 200 pellets throughs the Wolverine and maybe 100 through the Wildcat. I've shot neither more than 20 yards. They both make a single hole at that distance. I measured three today. They are about .24". Honestly, I haven't given either of them much of an accuracy challenge, not like the guys on here that regularly do 50 and 100 yards. 

I haven't tried heavier pellets in the Wildcat and I can't remember if I tried heavier win the Wolverine. I might put some 33 grain through both soon. Sometimes I wonder how accurate my ProChronograph is. I don't know how one would calibrate. I do know it is very consistent. I have a light kit as I generally shoot under fluorescents on my lower home level archery/air rifle range.

The Wildcat is more quiet than the Wolverine. Both are more quiet than the metal pellet trap. So, I shot them into my rubber mulch trap to get a better idea. Wildcat is more quiet.

Very pretty pictures of envy inducing guns! 20 yards is no test of these rifles - you expect hole in one at this distance; if you have the opportunity, a repeat at longer distances, 50, 75 and perhaps even beyond would be fun to see.

Looks like the wolverine has a Huggett? What's the moderator on the wildcat?

Thanks for posting.

Yep, I realize 20 yards is no test of these rifles. I'm just getting them ready for squirrels during the next 30-45 days. My shots will likely be "bow range" (10-30 yards). 

Yes, the Wolverine has a very nice looking Huggett - stock from AoA. The Wildcat has two of those screw on baffles, also stock from AoA. I have no idea why the Wildcat is more quiet than the Wolverine but it is easy to tell the difference. But, neither are bothersome noisy to me. My good neighbors shoot high power handguns and centerfires almost weekly, they don't bother me nor I them. I sight in my .308 and check it from my deck. I do like the idea of my air rifle not disturbing the local squirrels I'm hunting as much as my .22 and .17 rimfire though. So quiet is one of the attractions to air rifles for me.

Thanks!
