I received a Daystate Huntsman Revere .22 We the Plinkers package. My first Daystate. I’ve been reading and watching reviews for several months and am impressed. The rifle is a work of art. The stock is absolutely beautiful.
Nicole is bringing NE Ohio rain for the next 3 or 4 days so I’ll see how soon I can get to the range.

Regulated or non-reg? I've been eye balling those my self.

It’s the regulated model. It was also supposed to come with a MTC Mamba Ultralight 3-10x40 Side Focus Scope but they ran out of them so they upgraded it to an Athlon Optics Talos BTR 4-14x44 FFP scope.
Very anxious to get to the range but I can hear the rain hitting the roof. I have to run to Pyramyd Air for a pick up today anyway so the day won’t be a total loss.

As usual, Daystate air rifles are among the worlds finest air guns ever made and the Revere is another prime example of their expertise! This is another reason why Daystate air guns are in a class of their own starting with the more traditional look of being a long gun. I bought one in .177 a little over a year ago and I was playing with it on this rainy afternoon and it's still a shooter from way back. I know for a fact you're going to enjoy shooting it as all of us have and you're not going to be disappointed in the least. JMHBHO

Finally got the Huntsman Revere to the range yesterday. I cleaned and waxed the barrel a week ago and now it was time to test it out. 10 thru 40 yards were very nice tight groups. Forty yards started to be a ragged hole group. I didn’t put a target up at fifty but there were a bunch of 12 and 20 gauge shotgun hulls laying around so I set 15 of them on top of the target backer. Was able to pick off every single one with just one shot each. This should make a fine pesting gun. I was using JSB 18.13’s. I also had some Crosman’s that did pretty darn good as well but the JSB’s did slightly better.
VERY happy with Daystate at this point. I have my eye on a Wolverine, but we’ll see. I have a lot of tinkering to do with my Crown Continuum. I just got a 500mm barrel for it but will be keeping an eye on weather to get it out on a nice day and see how it works. To me, if I’m correct, the big difference between the Crown and Wolverine is that the Crown is much easier to tune. But I haven’t researched Wolverine tuning. I did see in an AofA video that they recommended sending Wolverine in to AofA for tuning but they also said it is tunable by the gun owner. We’ll see.
