Mine looks exactly like the one in Ted's video above. Mine is the early version that was advertised as producing 28 FPE. In actuality, 24 FPE is more like it. I have mine detuned to 21 FPE and I get 30 shots with mine shooting JSB 15.89 gr. It's a laser. It's a beaut. It's a keeper. Prettiest rifle in the rack. Light weight. Slim and grippy and a delight to shoot. I'll never put a reg in it. It's the best back yard squirrel gun that I own. At only 21 FPE, it kills squirrels outright and I don't have to worry about pass-throughs. 30 FPE, like the one in Ted's video, would be too much power for my purposes. I've got more powerful guns for long range hunting.
When shopping for a Daystate Huntsman Classic, be sure to know beforehand what your needs are. And then verify the output power of the gun before you pay. The early ones, like mine, were lower power. The later ones, as in Ted's video, were higher power but with low shot count. Then Daystate offered a tube extension before they went to the Huntsman XL, and later the Regal. Make sure you're actually getting what you want.
I bought mine used. The seller passed it off as being exactly like the one in Ted's video. As soon as I chronied it, I knew something was wrong. AoA helped by confirming that mine was actually one of the earliest Classics of lower power (24 FPE). Turns out, it was PERFECT for me. Don't let the seller BS you about power. Make him prove it before you buy.
