Old but Gold

[AirgunnerSA]

Nowadays everything must be bigger, faster and louder. I can still remember how much fun we had with 30FPE air rifles and what we were capable of doing with them. Has these high powered air rifles made us better shots? Well sometimes i wonder. Here is a old video where i did some pest control with the 30FPE Daystate Huntsman Revere.

What a brilliant air rifle, just a straight forward piece of kit that only requires air, pellets and a decent shot behind a scope and i promise you, you will have a blast of a time.

What do you think?

I think 30 fpe in 22 using pellets is just about perfect. Being shot out of that masterpiece is almost cheating lol.

No need for more power, but you know us men, we gotta have the most powerful guns and cars. Ego is a helluva drug.

Timeless classic that looks as good as it shoots. Thanks for putting this together.

Feel the same about my "oldies but goodies"! The classic, simple, out of box shooters are better than good enough for me!

You don't have to convince me...Daystate Regal, Taipan Veteran Mk1, Kalibergun Mini Carbine, FX Bobcat...Wouldn't even consider the "latest and greatest"...I'm satisified. I use airguns for enjoyable target shooting, 30fpe is fine for that...The Regal .20 cal group is 10 shots @ 30y running at 800fps with 13.73s
If I need more power I would use a pb...acceptable on my property.

Shooting a lot sub12 lately in .177 & .22.

Looking at the British sub12 hunting and pesting vids with much more respect.

We FAC shooters just aim and shoot. That sub12 makes you want to blend in & camouflage as you need to close in on targets.

Like this sub12 game very much for now.

Nice video vriend. Baje dankje.

I completely agree!!

I had posted a similar sentiment not too long ago about how nice it was to shoot and hunt with a new-at-that-time Huntsman Revere after I had spent months struggling to slug tune my FX Impact and Panthera. It was so refreshing to simply pull the Revere out of the box, get it scoped up and sighted in, and then shoot dimes without having to fuss around at all. It reminded of the joys of airguns that I was starting to forget about. It actually led me to start simplifying my airgun choices again. Couldn't be happier!

How's this for old school?

Great to watch the old video again. That’s a beautiful rifle. I didn’t hear what pellets he was using. Mine only gets about 26-27 fpe. Wouldn’t mind getting a few more fpe but haven’t messed with it since I got it.

Had an older Regal XL in .22 and I still think that platform is the best sporter PCP still available today! I now shoot an old school RAW HMx LRT in .22, very similar, just shoot it!

Those Daystate's are beautiful and elegant examples of my kind of airgun, svelte and manageable once away from the bench. I know I'm old & L7 as to me 30 fpe IS a powerful airgun.

Love the color scheme on that one. She's a looker for sure.

Nice video, solid shooter, elegant air rifle, just the right dose that you need when looking for a youtube video.

Shot placement is always key. I tell this to the guys that insist on having to use a boo win mag for white tail deer. A good clean shot through the vitals will anchor about any animal. Larger calibers just allow for the shot to be off more.

Low powered guns are not as effectived by recoil as their higher powered Brothers. Smoother shot cycle makes the shooting experience much simpler.

plus one. my go to squirrel rifle.
