@tommyb Lot's of great questions there. We will try to answer from the US perspective, though we don't speak for the factory:
1. Can you address the power adjustability issue and why you have not included easily adjustable power options? If no power wheel, at least a Hex nut adjustment would have been very well received. Just trying to understand your exclusion of this req’t. Owners want to adjust power plain and simple
The Revere is based off the Huntsman series with improvements to the action. Daystate did not want to stray too far from the simple and traditional design. There are other models in the range with the adjustability you have mentioned, and the Revere was targeting the success they have had in the Huntsman series with being simple and reliable.
2. Assume you have removed the built in Airstream moderator Which was on prior models, based on users wanting to use after market LDCs. Did not see you reference that in your feature Description. Can you confirm or clarify with more detail?
The Revere does not include the old Reflex moderator. There has always been requests to upgrade the silencing, so it seemed best to go with a threaded muzzle end which allows universal devices.
3. How is this new gate loading, self indexing magazine different than the newest DS magazines? You don’t say what is so good about it or contrast to older style mags
The loading system is the same as the newest Daystate magazine design. The self indexing design removes the levering system from the breech, which makes the rifle smoother to cock and load.
4. Why have you not included an Ambi or lefty stock as “standard?” The ability to switch side lever to right or left hand side is a given, but not having an Ambi stock is puzzling
Again, back to the traditional lines and design. Daystate has offered ambi options in past models, but the right or left hand designs look and feel best, and demand seems to want something that looks and feels good rather than a compromised ambidextrous option. But, the idea of an ambi stock is not off the table completely.
5. what pellets and velocities are expected?
We anticipate plenty of tests and reviews to come out very soon, which will speak to this!
6. Are you still using LW barrels?
Yes of course. Daystate and Lothar-Walther work very close in design and improvement to the barrels used.
Hope these answer your questions. We are also very excited to receive the first Revere's and begin testing and reviewing any day now!
