I have only one pcp. A Daystate Revere in .177cal doing the 18 ft/ibs with pellets. I really want a gun #2, but I am so pleased with the Revere, its hard to choose a second and feel I would get something similar or better. The Revere does it all for my needs.....so far.
I can fit slugs in my .22 Vet Shorty without any problems. Can’t say it shoots them well, just don’t remember.
You can't go wrong with the Daystate Revere for that price because I own the one with the regulator and for an off hand shooter or from the rest, it's hard to beat. Last year from April to December, I bought three .177 pcps because I was looking for the perfect one. I was waiting for the Maverick Compact in .177 and I bought it in April of this year and this is the one that I can truly brag on straight out of the box without any modifications. The FX Dreamline Tactical is 1 of 3 that I purchased in 2021, the Brocock Concept Lite was the 2nd one and late but not least and not in that order. Four pcps, the Daystate Revere, Brocock Concept Lite, FX Dreamline Tactical and the FX Maverick Compact have all been great pcps/shooters straight out of the box for me and they're all my go-to-pcps when I have the need.
I'm not saying you can't fit slugs in the mags, but with the o-rings being the only thing holding them in they don't stay in place very well. Pellets kinda lock in at their waist between the head and skirt. If I were moving around with the gun I'd be afraid of the slugs slipping out the mag on the sides.
Yep, I have a Revere in .22, great rifle, maybe the best configuration I own for hunting, as it is very similar in handling to a RF sporter.
What I enjoy about the Daystate Revere is for its compactness and my ability to shoot it off handed, it's very well balanced. I do still have an Air Arms 400 in .177 but the Revere is definitely in a class of its own and just as accurate as my AA 400!
I hear ya. Don’t shoot them routinely, so can’t really say, but when I have used them, they seem to hold ok. Guess a little more testing is in order.
Mine were both purchased in the later half of 2022. Were yours older than that? I'm wondering if something has changed in production over the past few months.
I don't think so, and your rifles should have tuned down lower than that. Some might need more adjustment to the reg set point than others, but at the right set point, they should have had more tuning flexibility, that's odd.
I keep looking at that gun myself, in .177. If it just did at least 22fpe I probably would have bought it already. Since I already have a Sub-12fpe .177, I want the next .177 to be quite more powerful.
