I would feel more comfortable toting the safari on a woods hunt vs the walnut stock. If I ever get a 25 revere, it'll be the safari for that very purpose.

FX Fx Drs classic 500 mm or daystatte Revere

If it were me and I was getting a 500 mm I would buy the fx dreamline. Much more user friendly on the tuning end and I’m guessing easier to work on.

I like my two dramlines, compact and 500mm for the tunability but the lack of tuning is nice on the revere. Just pick it up and shoot. So nice.

. I just want to shoot
For me walnut but i also like the looks of safari and adjustable cheek piece is nice to have.

Yeah the adjustment on the cheek is a plus. It’s also a bit less $$ than the walnut. Oh in the revere baffled or it needs a moderator?

No baffles on the revere and the shroud is barely bigger than the barrel. Mod helps but if shooting outside not completely necessary.

You're going to want a mod if you have neighbors that don't like shooting. It's not overly loud, but it's not backyard friendly by itself.
The huggett belita is just about perfect on it. The Tanto would do nicely as well. Haven't tried a 0db or FALX mod yet.

With the DRS you are going to have a lot of future upgrades and options. It is a brand-new platform that companies are just starting to make 'add ons' for. There will probably be some bumps along the way.
With the Daystate you are getting a high-quality gun that is done. Just set it and forget it.

Def the daystate then. Although still a sideways move it’s a different brand at least. The drs is basically a dreamline with different air storage location that is more difficult to tune. It’s a weird platform to me. Taking a step forward with plenum and air storage location then a complete step backwards with the tuning system. Then on top of that FX drops their 1k gun in a 1700 dollar chassis for a 3k option. Lmao…. Yes the drs will produce some more power but I assume you aren’t shooting heavy slugs or you wouldn’t but the 500mm. I mean if that were my goal I wouldn’t opt for the drs in the first place but that is another tangent. Anyway I would get the daystate. They are beautiful guns and seem to shoot great.I already have one.

Tried some H&N slugs out of my revere. 21 grain .218 are giving dime sized groups at 40 yards. These guns are shooters, and I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with a 25 and possibly a 177... and I don't even own or shoot 177 anymore if that tells you anything.

Spending ?1700 on a chassis is bonkers to me personally but guys are already winning with the product. Considering Matt just won 20 grand I am sure he feels it is money well spent. Had he bought his, which I doubt. lol

You always shoot “ dime “ sized groups
Where is the 40 yards ? Or the 75 I hear you talk of
In your 35 yard yard ?
