I've seen some conflicting data around how many shots you can get with the Huntsman .25 Caliber. Decided to post my Chronograph results here.

25 Shots with Daytstate Huntsman Revere .25 Caliber. JSB Hades
- Thread starter markfrommelt
- Start date
Yeah. You could call it 17 if you stretched it. Not sure how Daystate gets the 20 shots it states the brochure. Still, for the hunting I do it's more than enough.
I've got the .177 Revere as well.. will be posting those results soon.

I'm 20 solid shots with the same pellet at almost 900fps with the Kral NP-03 carbine I built. It's light, accurate and less than half the cost.

Hello Nation
The Revere uses a very small air cyl by volume. The air heats up very quickly when filling because of the small size causing pressure loss when the cylinder cools. When filling I recommend topping off three times to 250 bar to ensure a full cold fill. This procedure will provide the amount of shots the rifle can offer. There are many advantages to the small size cylinder like ease of filling from a pump, classic lines, weight etc.

Thats about the norm I think with the 25cal. Not much to work with the 160cc airtube. Kinda like the AAS510 in 25cal, just not a 25cal gun.

That’s an apples to oranges comparison. While that is a nice Turkish walnut stock and I’m sure a sweet shooting rifle, the revere has a more refined, luxurious look. It’s like two woman who perform the same in bed but one looks like a butta face and the other one is a dime piece

So yeah...I'm admittedly drawn to the looks of the Huntsman. That's why I own one in .25 and .177...(and in the market for a 22.) I have always loved the looks of the Huntsman... but that Kral man... dollar for dollar.. how can you complain.

Hey Mark, I am interested in this new Huntsman in .177. have you done a similar shot string with that one? I would really appreciate the data if you have it. I think the larger calibers just use too much air for that small of a cylinder. 2 mags is not bad tho if you are hunting and carry a smaller top off bottle. Some days in the field I will shoot less than one 10 round mag anyway. how is the Accuracy ?

Or maybe they are apples and apples. Both were varsity cheerleaders but the Kral is happy with just a beer and burger. With daystate being a top notch gun (I truly mean that) I'm definitely not seeing double the looks and performance is probably too close to call a winner

Not meant to be a pissing match between the guns by any means. Just would expect that gun to do well over 20 shots at only 40fpe or at least 2 mags at near 900 fps with that volume and pressure. I was simply showing a similar spec gun with higher performance specs in relation to the cost difference.
The Kral is a 180cc tube but only a 2900psi fill pressure so volume of air is nearly identical. I'm under 6lb bare gun and a sub 1lb trigger. Smooth side cocking action and a 10 shot mag. All specs gun to gun are nearly identical. At $1300 I'd expect them to figure out something better than I did at around $600.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally don’t think it’s worth $1300 but to each his own. I’d be a buyer at $900. I too would’ve thought with a “Harper sling shot” valve and reg would be doing better numbers than that. The Kral is more like a field hockey player that can get the job done, definitely not a cheerleader

I will be posting my results for the .177 later today. I'm also just getting the hang of using the Caldwell G2. So the first few strings with the .177 had a lot of misses. I don't even have a scope on the .177 yet. So no info on accuracy. But the .25 is pellet on pellet at 30 yards.

That's an unregulated XL. 177
Is that correct?

No sir, that's a Huntsman Revere, using JSB 10.34.
Will see if I can dig up a shot string from the unregulated Regal XL.

Here's one from the unregulated Regal XL, using H&N Barracuda Match 10.65. Note the lower starting pressure (200 bar vs 250), & lower speed.
Still consider this impressive for unregulated.
