Daystate Thoughts on used Daystate Red Wolf

[Smok3y]

I think this has to do with offhand balance if using a larger scope on a bullpup Style platform? At least that was my experience.
I put a FORM stock on my ghost which shifted weight slightly rearward which improved my offhand shots dramatically

I’m thinking bench too. Most of the Daystate shooters stayed with the Red Wolf. The platform is very good all around, and yes the rifle platform can be advantageous.

I hope all of you are correct. I just bought a RWHP in 30 cal LNIB from AOA, and it will be here Tuesday. I really wasn't in the market for a 30 cal, as it's much more than I need, but the price was so good I couldn't let it go past. My first Daystate, and electronic gun.

You too, huh? My used (but Excellent, not LNIB) RW HP .30 cal (walnut) from AoA just showed up on the little brown truck yesterday afternoon. Still haven't shot it yet, but lets just say that this is not my first Daystate, my first electronic Daystate, my first Red Wolf or even my first Red Wolf in .30 cal!

They are fine guns, and are even better when coupled with the caring and excellent service which I have always received when needed from AoA. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone for your input. I'm seeing reference to HP and standard.....what is the difference in a standard Red Wolf and HP Red Wolf?

Weights for the Redwolf vary with stock selection
heaviest is the PRS
then laminated
lightest being the Turkish walnut?
you can also put a 300 cc bottle on one to further reduce weight and still get over 100 shots in .177 at <20 fpe

If you didn’t get the Air superiority 20 MOA Redwolf pic rail that AOA sells… get one!

I tried that pic rail and I found that it stuck out too far in front and in order to get the scope's bell to clear you needed higher rings than desired and then the cheek rest wouldn't go high enough. It didn't work for me.

Personally I think a good set of adjustable scope mounts like the Sportsmatch ATP34 (34mm) or ATP66 (30mm) really work out well and keep the scope lower.

One accessory I will say I believe it worth every penny is the PRS Extended Arca / Picitinny Rail. It's pricey at near $300 but it'll give you multiple very solid mount points for tripod and bipod.
