Watch & Discuss the Daystate Huntsman Huma Regulated PCP!!

Yes it is a great rifle, its so good I can't find anything I like better. I've shot FX royals, Impacts, Raws. I've not shot another .22 cal PCP that is any more accurate at 50 yards.
There are many great guns out there but they all give up something to the Regal. Looks, weight, balance, fit n finish, its very compact yet shoots as well as the guns that are 8" longer and 3 pounds heavier. It does everything well.
I own a 2013 regal. Its so good I've not found the need to get anything better. I've really not found the need to put a regulator in it. I think people wanted it but its not really a big deal and maybe a step sideways over the non regulated classic.
- I can get 45 shots only filling mine to 230 bar and my curve is very flat.
- Mine is only 6.2 pounds vs 8.2 pounds as stated in the video - Fill probe on mine is standard foster no need to have another fill probe adapter like the new one.
-My trigger guard is all metal but I think the newer ones went to plastic. -
The tube looks longer than my 162cc tube yet only holds 132 cc. So its a smaller tube but you have to fill it to 250 bar to get the same shot count I get on a 220-230 bar fill. So when my carbon fiber tank drops to 230 bar my Regal XL still gets its full shot count while the new one is going to lose some starting at 230 bar.
JSB 15.9s shoot best from mine. I get .3 to .5" at 50 yards if there is no wind. So the new one is not more accurate.
Don't get me wrong the new one is a great gun, I am not so sure its better than non regulated XL as it does give up some things. Would I like the win it? Well ya sure I would

If it is as accurate as my old DA HUNTSMAN MKII as we know it is, it will be nice in my hands. Lol ?

My old Daystate is still my go-to : light, accurate, easy to handle, quick to point.
But the improvements noted make this new one a definite : WANT.

Good looking air rifle, the fact it now comes with a Huma regulator and 5 year warranty makes for a sweeter deal. Wonder if it can be ordered with LH stock.

I've owned a Huntsman Regal 0.22 for 4 years and love it. My only negative is that it takes considerable effort to cock the rifle. If this has really been addressed (I don't see how this could be done) this is a winner. Even without this the addition of a regulator to flatten an already impressively flat curve is a nice step forwards,

Super impressed with how smooth the bolt action is along with how quite it is. I shoot a Hatsan PCP now and it’s nothing like this Daystate.

That is a very nice looking rifle. The 50 yard group looked pretty good and the 100 yard group was good up to the last shot and it appeared to be pulled down.
