Daystate Revere .177 unregulated at AoA on sale for $900

[tommyb]

I have a regulated .22 Revere, but I was searching the Daystate website and could not find some technical information.

For those members that have the .177 unregulated 18 FPE rifle, what pellet brands and associated velocities are providing best results at 25-40 yards?

Also, for those that have both the .177 and .22 caliber rifles, which do you think are more accurate at the above distances.

I regularly shoot in the 30Y Challenge thread, and although my .22 is very accurate, I was curious about user experiences with the .177.

Thanks in advance.

I have a .177 cal unregulated Revere and I can't say enough about what an outstanding rifle it is.

Mine shoots 7.8s at 960 fps, 10.5 gr JSBs at 900 and 13s around 780-800. I fill to 200 bar and get 60 shots down to 150 bar.

Paul, thanks. Can you answer my questions?

Thanks Joe. Which pellet weight and velocity yields the best accuracy in your experience?

That’s a good deal! Too bad it’s not ambi or lefty

Mine shoots the jsb 10.5s pretty dang small. 13s I use for hutting with a little more umph.

OK, here goes:
Daystate Revere .177 cal.
JSB 7.87 gr-1001 fps
AA 8.3 gr-969 fps
AA 10.3 gr-909 fps
JSB 13.4 gr- 790 fps

I did not test accuracy of all weight pellets, but as you can see, it really shoots!
I used to have a Daystate Regal (the old bolt action version) in .22 caliber. I didn't like the bolt action so I sold it, but it was quite good too: I wish I could find a .22 cal Revere, but those are long gone!
JSB 15.9 gr-888 fps
JSB 18.1 gr-848 fps

Very helpful!

I had a bolt action unregulated Regal XL, and it shot just as accurately as my regulated Revere .22 caliber. Your velocities with the 15.89 and 18.1 JSBs for the .22 cal are very similar to mine.

Your information ( and Joedirt199) for the .177 version tells a good story.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I’m a lefty too.

When I originally ordered my Regal and Revere .22 cals, I had to wait a while for AoA to get them ( I.e., LH stocks ) in from their Supplier.

You will need at least .65" to clear the stock .177 mag. Carm is your friend when it comes to extra mags. I have high capacity and low capacity 13 rd and 10 rd from Carm. Medium rings should give you the right amount of height. Mine are sports match 1" rings. A 3-4" mod is all that is needed to tame the bark. Mine wears a 30mm 2 section huma. The barrel pretty much ends where the shroud stops so it does very little to reduce the sound signature.
