Inside the carbon-fibre shroud of the Daystate Delta Wolf lies an electronic chronograph that synchronizes with this incredible rifle’s computer ‘brain’ to AUTOMATICALLY meter velocity to the shooter’s programmed value!
Had the sad viewing of a .177 Delta Wolf recently at a State FT Championship owned by one of this countries best FT shooters.
Never made it past sight in spraying pellets randomly off POA. Shroud taken off a tad better but the guns owner threw his hands up in disgust and never shot the match making his 13 hour+ each way drive for nothing.
Not the first instance in the FT community of hearing about these DW's not doing well and owners giving up on trying to tune them for the lower power levels needed to play FT.
They likely are Great guns at higher power levels and only time will tell if HONEST unedited reports of success or failures are made by those using them.
It’s like running a sub 12 impact. It’s not what it’s supposed to do.
ive seen some wild accuracy at 50 100 with .177 DW shooting slugs but 40 FPE won’t fly in FT
You're correct that we are still learning intensely. There was nothing wrong with Bill's rifle except for the setup. We have found that running the shroud collar all the way against the frame is bad. It needs a small gap to allow the frame to expand without stressing the barrel. The 177 standard rifled barrel that Bill and I have is very, very good and they shoot fine at any power appropriate to the barrel. I've tested mine from 80 deg to 122 deg in just a few minutes with zero poi change. There have been other real problems but we're finding them and working with Daystate to get it fully perfected. They did an amazing job with the engineering on the hardware and the software and assembly are right there, now.
It can be a real HAMMER but I like it even more at the low powers.
