Daystate Delta Wolf. 25 Cal. Feedback is Welcome.

Buying an Evol Pardigm is an expensive "investment". You know you have bought one of the best made rifles in the World that will last forever (if you do not use it to measure the deep of clifts).

If you buy a Daystate Revere you know you have bought and excellent rifle that happens to be the must beautiful one in the World.

If you buy a Vulcan 3 you know you have made the best purchase in market, doubtless.

If you buy a Delta Wolf you are certain that you can buy trouble!..... And if you are lucky, you bought the rifle with the easiest way of tunnig and able to interchange calibres, but that could end in the waiste basket if it happens to have the same long lasting than a smartphone.....

Joe, I agree that a few years back (when this was written), the FACTORY mode wasn't really up to speed as originally expected. Fast forward a couple years, and the Factory mode truly outperforms the Advanced mode in my .30 Delta Wolf. I've had that one for over two years now and had one of the original .25 versions when they first shipped.

When properly set up, the Factory mode will keep four magazines (32 shots in .30 caliber with AEA 50.1 grain pellets) within an ES of 5 fps and an SD of well under 2 fps. This is MUCH better than anyone will ever get from a Red Wolf (factory GCU-2 or HeliBoard) - I have two and they are excellent, but an ES of 12 to 13 fps for a 30-shot string and an SD of 3 or 4 fps is as good as you'll get.
While a DW/AW in Advanced mode CAN get numbers as good as Factory, it doesn't account for weather or elevation changes, or temperature changes over a long-ish shooting session. With the last couple of Firmware updates, especially the latest, the Factory mode is IMHO most definitely the way to go...
After all, the is really the PURPOSE of having the built in chronograph - to feedback speed into the algorithm to keep desired speed constant.

I wrote that two years ago. That being said I have removed the chronograph from all of my D/W. I feel they affect accuracy even tho it might be in the smallest amount. I’m sure you shoot yours more than I shoot all of my guns put together but this has been my experience.
