I bought both used and both are fantastic rifles. I had the verminator for several years and I've killed hundreds if not thousands of pigeons. I recently got a used Huntsman and decided to shoot both of them over the chrony. They are both unregulated and should be a good comparison.
First up was my trusty verminator chrony numbers: 220 bar fill
If you can read my awful writing, here is what I see: The first three shots were great but the velocity jumped around until I got to 190 bar and it was some what consistent for 24 shots but then started to decrease in velocity after every shot until it ran out of steam about 160 bar. I've taken this gun with me to dairy farms and have shot 60 to 70 birds in one fill, so I'm not to concern about the bad numbers. It does what it was meant for.
Next was the Huntsman: same 220 bar fill
I'm blown away at how good the numbers are and at how fast it was shooting the 10.34 JSB's. I have ordered heavier pellets and will test again. The huntsman shows a nice bell curve with very close consistent numbers. This is my first Daystate and for .177, they hit out of the park with this gun. It's super efficient with it smaller tube and it's not much longer than the verminator.
If someone could tell me the year the verminator was made from the pic below, I would appreciate it.
The verminator's numbers are not that great. Even for an unregulated gun but I know this will still take down pigeons under 30 yards with no problems. Shooting hundreds of pellets over the chrony with both guns, the verminator is so much easier to shoot than the stiffer huntsman bolt. Not sure if its my gun, but online videos shows other YouTube celebs pulling back the bolt easy and smooth. I have cock the gun with authority in order to cycle the mag. I can't wait to see how the huntsman does at the dairy farms.
