Daystate Blackwolf owners discussion

[cavedweller]

Seems like the overall consensus is that Daystate has good quality. I wonder if the grey stock which I think is laminated is more prone to cracking than the other stocks. Would love to hear if anybody else had a cracked stock and if so what type. Still hope to someday own a Daystate air rifle but at this point I just do not trust the quality of the stock and given my prior experience with the out of spec rear rail. I know that delivery is hard in the US but in decades of shooting rifles I have never had a cracked stock when shipped reasonably packaged as mine was. To me this is a design flaw.

This is strictly a packaging and Shipping issues… the stock is solid. I think the Airgun industry in general needs to pay more attention to factory boxes / hard cases and the foam they use inside the cases. The longer the barrel and box the more vulnerable

The barrel could be taking off an shorten the box

I got these pellets from Amazon and they are going back, my group may have been better and I paid $3 to $4 to much

yep.... that's how amazon does pellets... probably in a 4'x4' box with 4 loose items.

You got that right

Is there something wrong with my gun?

I received my .25 BW in chassis form 23” barrel from AOA today; it arrived unscathed. This is the top of the line BW. I quickly topped it with a Sightron S6 and it zeroed quickly at 40 yards hole on hole.

@cavedweller Bought a used .25 chassis Blackwolf for AoA yesterday myself. Should be here in about 10 days having a stage 2 tune done.

That rig looks fantastic!!! Did it come with that case? And does it fit in the case with the Sightron & wheel?

Enjoy!

My BW came with a case but not that nice

Real world results.

40meter group H&N 20grain 35 ft/ibs and group @ 68m with H&H 20grain. For the American audience the 68meter group is less than a quarter. The 40meter group is about a dime side.

I would have to trim the foam out to get the fit BUT i dont think that there would be sufficient padding top/bottom

That scope wheel did you drop it? Just kidding.

H& N 20grain .177 slugs

Here tests with EunJin 16,1 grain .177cal pellets. Best group I had the lowest setting( 35 ft/ibs) which did ok @40 meters.
Putting the setting on max(aprox 45 ft/ibs) the grouping expanded and did go transonic for a short travel. Pellets has their limits.
My BW setting is blue spring 145Bar. For hunting the Eun Jin pellets are superb. They deliver max expansion due to soft lead and blunt nose. I have used them a lot in .25cal. Blunt noses may not have high bc but pass on the payload on object.

Why only 4 shot groups ??? Need more shots to verify consistency

Velocity is probably too high for those 16 gr pellets
