Look what UPS delivered today.

It is much better that the rifle do not need to be tunned.

Wolverine is a beauty!!

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.

I have a Huntsman Regal and Wolverine R both in .177, the difference in the two is shot count and appearance...accuracy isn't an issue with either. If you want to tinker get a model that is designed for it...Daystates are unbox and shoot...Daystates come with a 5 year warranty...would be a shame to void that...the sling shot system IS adjustable on models that have it and is very simple to do but very limited benefits...I adjust mine down 100fps pr second or so for increased shot count. I wouldn't get a Wolverine today (had mine for 2 1/2 years) considering the cost of one today I would get a Red Wolf instead.
 
I keep talking about several rifles but keep coming back to look again @ the Revere
If your looking for a 177 mine shoots 10 gr ko’s to 860 with a good trajectory with a 35 yd 0. Shoots 10.4 to 895 same 0. The 22 shoots 16-18 jsb very good 890 and 845 and 17.5 nsa to 808 all shoot very well. Hope this helps you decide. Oh the 177 is as accurate as my red wolf just lighter on the styx. Not quite as steady
