Delta wolf to me is all about that super smooth action and the amazing trigger, both are better than the ghost or anything else for that matter. My epoch has a great trigger and action also, just weighs a ton.lmao

Daystate Delta Wolf - Why isn't it more popular?
- Thread starter Corvid_hunter
- Start date
With the SubMOA, it isn't facilitating the use of the chrony. It's no secret that the DW chrony has been the subject of much speculation on if it was causing accuracy issues. I don't need it for sure. I use an FX true ballistics radar chrony for that and I program with the Advanced setting. Not an issue for me at all and as you say, may be "the way to go"!

For me, I will not purchase any sort of firearm or airarm that utilizes batteries, chargers, screens, software, updates or any of that.

To each their own!
There is something to be said about the advantages that a Red Wolf & Delta Wolf bring to the table however! No hammer spring to fatigue. Sublime trigger. Increased lock-time.

Still have the AIRWOLF & Heliboard combo in .20 cal .... after all the years it still shoots fantastic !!
These newer models wolfs appear just as solid .... great Air guns !!!

After all the pluses/minuses, I still like my Delta Wolf. The thing that irked me the most about Daystate’s follow through was that the Delta Wolf was originally sold as having Bluetooth connectivity, which should have led to some interesting apps to work with it. That never happened and no more mention of that capability.
A simple iPhone/Android app that recorded all shot velocities/averages/SD would have been a good start. Very helpful for tuning. It could have also recorded the plenum pressure for each of this shots. Currently you need to write down each shot to have a record of shot strings.

I shoot the AEA 50.5 at 890 fps. Reg set at 140 bar. I think those that remove the chrony or keep it but use advanced mode are missing the whole point of the DW. Their loss….
The SubMOA barrels are very good, but they aren’t a drop in replacement for the factory LW barrel. So in order to experience the SubMOA you have to forego the Factory mode.
As far as the chrony affecting accuracy, I haven’t seen that. Not saying people are imagining it, but it’s not something I’ve experienced. My LW barrel in .30 is a polygonal 1:30 twist pellet barrel and as accurate as any other LW barrel I’ve owned, including the .25 ART barrel in my Red Wolf.

I just sold mine.
My Delta was a marvel.
Why I sold it?
I found that it was not chosen for the adventures... So:
Unconsciously I used to choose other rifles for the job because I judged them more appropriate.
Then .....
It should be in the hands of someone that would appreciate it without discrimination.

Own a Delta for a couple of months. Wasn't really happy with the accuracy, so I bought the barrel clamp. That worked for me. Accessoires are expensive and customer help from Daystate isn't that great. Shooting the 34 gr in cal .25 at 880 fps with reg on 145 bar on factory mode. Now exploring advanced mode.

Been there, done that. No more electronics in any of my rifles. The Ghost and my other analog rifles suits my needs. I always have my BPS if I need to sort something out that they cannot handle.

The Delta is a superb rifle of the previous generation.
New generation rifles (FX Leopard, Vulcan 3) can shoot slugs at amazing accuracy at 200 yards.
FX Leopard .25 Cal
Vulcan 3 700 .25 Cal
Both 132 yards
Both close to 70 fpe.

Thanks for the info. Yeah I have begun using the factory mode more. Actually works really well. Sometimes it takes a bit to bring the speed in check. On my .25 the other day I was using jts 29 gr. Selected 30.86 at 875. It shot the first one at 950. Took 6-7 shots to get down there but did its job. I agree both my .25 and .30 are as accurate as anything I’ve owned. Just have to do my part.

Another Air Wolf and MK4 IS owner here both sporting heliboards. Almost ten years on each without a failure, not even an o-ring. Led me to buy a new Red Wolf this year that I love just as much (maybe more).

I guess I am the black sheep here....I love electronics and have a Red wolf that I love. So was curious about how cleaning the barrel on a Delta wolf was so watch the video....after the video... NAH!!...not for me lol
....that's was a pain in the a$$ !!! Anything liquid and electronics just don't mix...

I’ll never buy another “electronic” rifle again. I’ve had three VERY bad experiences with them and at over $3K … never again, regardless of whose name is on it.
