Just a little excited update....
Tracking info came in and it's saying a Tuesday 7/19 delivery date! YEE HAW!
I'M 50 years old and think I'm more excited now for a new toy than I was when I was a kid

Thank you Woogie! I'll be sure to keep everyone posted when it arrives and I get some lead through it.

So which pellets are you shooting on a regular basis? Something other than those pictured?
I am hoping that either the JSB 8.4 OR 10.3 shoots well in mine.

...no need for bipods, benches or bags with this gem, it is a rifle you will want to hold and shoot. There's a sense of accomplishment you'll get from shooting the Regal unsupported. It just feels so right shooting her standing or kneeling it's more then a tool for the kill!

I have a .22 unregulated and a .177 regulated. Both are lasers. My .22 has thousands of pellets through it. They are great rifles.

I have one in 22 cal. and shoot it more than any other gun I own by a long shot. Super accurate and soooo fun to shoot.

I shoot the 10,34 on regular basis. Accurate enuff to shoot pop hornets out to 50yards(45meters).
As slugs are becomming cheaper I have bought a stockpile of ZAN slugs. As a general comment on the Daystate Huntsman they digest just about any pellets on the marked. The pellets that didn`t work so well was H&N Rabbit Magnum, the JSB Hades and these so called "Ultra shock".
The Eun Jin 16 and 17 grain pellets does good
It love ZAN slugs too

You will enjoy it, I have made some fantastic shots with mine, no tinkering needed out of the box accuracy is there.

I had a Huntsman Regal in 22. Super accurate rifle, but I didn’t like the bolt action so I sold it. Regret, regret. But wait, there’s more. I noticed AOA has a sale on The Huntsman Revere in .177. I couldn’t wait to push the “buy” button. It’s on the way now. I’m going back more toward.177 rifles for accuracy. Enough of this big power, big caliber airguns. Small caliber at shorter distances is just as challenging as the big stuff at 100 yards.

I certainly don't want to ruin the classic looks with a picatinny rail on the fore end. I may not be opposed to some sling studs and a sling though. I plan on keeping it factory.

Excellent! Thank you for the results pictures. Looks loke the 10.3 do well. I have a stock pile of the 4 most common 177 weights (7.33, 7.87, 8.4, 10.3). I should be able to find something that works well with those.I shoot the 10,34 on regular basis. Accurate enuff to shoot pop hornets out to 50yards(45meters).
