Revere .177 with 20grain slugs from factory setting. 14,6 ft/ibs only.(MV 575 ft/sec) Slug doesn`t need speed!. It needs the right rifling with the right twist.

I see the purpose of a .30 caliber as a hunting tool. If it can get 16 to 20 shots with 45 grain pellets at 900+ fps then that is enough for me. I would have a buddy bottle available to top off in the event I ran into the mother load of varmints needing a lead pill before bed time. The rifle would not be shot at that power level all the time, just when needed for the particular varmint being hunted. I am not a bench shooter and the OAL being around 38 inches and the relatively light advertised weight along with conventional looks are my interest. The Black Wolf is certainly interesting to me, especially in the non-bottle format. And that Daystate says they plan to support the rifle with upgrades and multiple options that would allow the owner to go from Tacti-Cool to Fudd-Cool with a few parts swaps.
I am not into slugs, if I need that sort of range then I need my .17HMR/.22Magnum/.22LR/.22 Hornet/.204 Ruger/.223.

My estimate in shot count is only that, an estimate. There's just not many out in the wild yet.
As for support....oh yeah! Look at the baubles and bells and whistles and customization options Daystate has supplied for the Red Wolf/Delta Wolf/BRK Ghost platforms. That's kinda the business model. Expect lots.

Dunno, an electronic gun is super efficient with air and has a crazy gentle shot cycle.
with a Redwolf you can set 3 tunes for your 3 favorite pellets and switch with a switch.
example I set my RW for hunting on high power 16.1 gr, I set my RW up for HFT on medium power using 13.4’s and I set the same RW up for close in 10 meter on low power shooting 7.4’s.
I would be hard pressed to set and switch my ghost up as quickly.

They sell a lot of Rolex watches and to me they are crazy expensive… I think creating a high price point also creates some exclusivity

Since I already have a ghost with all options available, I would choose the BW because the more traditional stock will balance better at the shoulder, especially with a bigger scope

I don't think you can really truly tension a barrel very good unless it's threaded into the breech like an Evol, R5M, Taipan Vet 2 for a few examples.

Although I’m not a mechanical engineer, the basic idea behind tensioning and harmonics reduction is to minimize whip or vibration and in an Airgun with a reasonable barrel wall, it’s not a big deal… more marketing imo … I’ll add more later

Has anyone seen if the bottled versions will have the valve in the bottle that allows unthreadimg the bottle without losing air?
Ie, Ghost bottle config where hot bottle swaps are an option?
Or Red Wolf bottle config where unthreading the bottle dumps all the air from the bottle?

It's the latter. Unfortunate for some things, but apparently done for better air transfer efficiency.

Yeah, that's a bummer.
Nothing cooler than having a spare 480cc in my back pocket when I'm away from my truck. Did it numerous times last summer with the Ghost on pdogs. 90-100 shots, swap bottle, 90-100 more shots. SWEET!

I wish some rappers would buy these. Then, we could wait 6mo and buy them for less than half. -MC Hammerspring

you can, and some people have - example of this can be found on the Sub12 YouTube channel, he has a specific video on adding a valve to the Redwolf. I'm not a machinist so not likely i can create such a fix unless i spend significant amounts of money to have a talented machinist do this.
