Other What should I get?

[Dr. Kralenstein]

So I have a settlement coming from a company I contracted for who was apparently shorting the 1099s some earnings. I happened to be on the list of said individuals, so I'm getting a check in the some of close to 3 grand.

I plan on saving half, and spending the other 1500ish or so on my first higher end gun.

I prefer traditional wood rifles, more so carbines. That doesn't rule out say, a BRK bantam or something.

I'm leaning towards an air arms s510 carbine, or a daystate revere or regal. Considered the FX dreamline, but im not sold on the super high rings to fit the mags, but it has its pros with adjustability and parts, and I like to tinker.

What you guys think you'd get, and if you own one of the aforementioned gems, tell me your take on them.

The dreamline series is great and the grs stock is adjustable with so much beauty., Air arms is nice but only 12shot mags and not as adjustable. Daystate i have not owned, but they do have great triggers,to me the dreamline is a better, more versatile rifle.

Im sold on the revere. Nothing against air arms just like the revere better so thats my suggestion i have a 177&22 both great shooters

While I’m partial to the BRKs, the Daystate Regals and Reveres are solid classics. Fun dilemma to be in, good luck!

I'm leaning that way already, but the safety at the back is something that looks like a sore thumb on such a nice rig.

Never bothered me i got used to it easily. The thing i like most besides the look is how the gun handles. It just fits and the pellets go right where you put the cross hair no fuss no muss

Is it like a rocker switch, goes side to side with your thumb?

 

[Solo1]

Yes

Tried to take a pic but not enough hands. Lol. Your thumb isn’t that far away

My last dreamline shotstring though.

That's very consistent.

Do you know if the shorter 380mm barrel will fit inside the shroud? I'd love to run some baffles in there and quiet one down and keep it short.

That's about the perfect spot, it just looks out of place on that elegant gun.

I own a dreamline and I wouldn’t order that one. I had an issue with the valve stem breaking. It’s a weak point in the gun and a design flaw they haven’t addressed on that model. It wasn’t accurate in .177 so I went back to .22. Needless to say I bought a different gun in .177 for the range and will use the dreamline for hunting only.

Every serious airgun collection should include an Air Arms S510. Amazingly simple, superiorly detailed, incredibly accurate, almost no maintenance required. .22 is my favorite though I either own or have owned .177, .22, and .25s.

You won’t regret a Revere. If you want a nice trigger it’s a lock. IMO the drawback to most of the FX line is the trigger system they use in most of it.

I have adjustable height rings on now to keep my target scope as close to center for dedicated 30YC use. You can get away with mounts a little lower. AoA said I needed extra high mounts to clear the magazine, but you do not. With my Midas Tac I use Hawke high. I included an extra high and high mount.

Go ahead and spend it all on a American Air Arms Paradigm. You'll thank me later!

I would go with the regal over the side lever on this platform for looks reasons. I can't remember, is the regal available in a regulated model?

Either way...I have one of each...Can't go wrong with either. I just like the SOLID feel of the bolt action. I have a side lever Wolverine r .177 it's OK but prefere the bolt.
