Daystate I feel distinguished now!
- Thread starter Dr. Kralenstein
- Start date
Got a few minutes before dinner to test accuracy at 25 yards. Only shot 4 mags because the mosquitos were relentless, but predator polymags were one single hole on the mag I checked for good skirts. The other mag opened up a bit due to some bent skirts. I also tested 2 mags of baracuda hunters, and they gave me about a dime/nickel size group, which is typical for them IME.
It definitely needed a moderator for my shooting session. It's super quiet with the weihrauch moderator on it. Another cool thing was the moderator didn't cause a shift in POI vs unmoderated, which usually happens.
Can't wait til this fall and go out for some squirrels and rabbits.

haha, I bet you said the same thing on your last Regal. It's a shooter for sure and regulated these days..
Still loves the 15.89's too.

One thing that I do not like from my Revere is that in order to mallow the magazine Tom rotate properly, rings of the scope should be high, and then my cheek do not rest properly in the cheek piece. The butt pad is not adjustable.
I like to shoot it better with a red dot sight.
There's a butt pad that can fix that:
The point is that it will make the beautiful rifle to look un classy.

Knowing what I know now, I won't be passing up the next regal that comes up for sale. I'm completely fine with a bolt action. A 25 caliber would be sweet.

Definitely Huggett. I tried Huggett's newest Astille and really like the cone end. Very quiet as well, but always a Huggett on a Daystate.

www.krale.shop For the Scope I love my compact Optisan CP3.
Use the BKL 303 0.6" long Dovetail Scope Ring - "Low" - for 30mm Scope Tubes - Fits 3/8" or 11mm Dovetails - Matte Black
The LOW version gives Perfect clearance of the mag.

I know! Totally won the lottery with that one. It was in the “Pre-owned” section at AoA. They show images of their used items but their images didn’t really show it off. I was very pleased when I opened the box. It was basically “like new”. I didn’t see any signs of use. It’s amazingly accurate too with 8.4 and 10.3 JSBs. I got it for a real bargain also so I won in that area too. I don’t usually get the good deals but I did on this one.

Excellent purchase, congratulations on the new rifle! I suggest one of these single shot loaders. They are magic, I have one for each of my Regals. They also sell metal trigger guards that add some needed bling to replace the polymer one. Here are some awesome upgrades, I have them all!

Didn't even realize the guard was plastic on the revere. I might get the metal one just to be safe in the field. It is very well mad plastic though, looks durable.

Got to squeeze off a couple groups tonight. I'm wearing Off, and the mosquitos are STILL ravaging me.
I know I pulled a couple shots becuase of the bugs, but here they are.
Group on left at 25 yards right is 40 yards
These were pulled straight from the tin and shot from the factory magazine. 11 shot groups.
That moderator is almost 8" lol.
