Daystate Huntsman Revere regulated .22

[Tomiboy]

I want to buy one of these. Maybe later today. Has anyone tried using the lower 9 shot Carm mags and using medium rings? The scope looks too high in relation to the cheekpiece with the high rings required to clear the Daystate mag

Thanks!
Tom

Unfortunately, I don't have the answer. But you could ask Carm what the measurement from the base to the top of the mag is. Most ring manufacturers post the measurement of the dovetail rings from base to saddle and you can extrapolate from there.

I have a Revere with medium rings, and the CARM mag works fine. The taller Daystate mag does not quite clear. It will go in, but the top of the magazine cylinder contacts the scope and prevents rotation.

These is one at good price at the used rifle section of AoA site.

I’ve got everything you are considering and just measured it for ya…

Carm Mags are 36mm high and Daystate mags (newest version) is 36mm high.

If you want to get lower, the Carm single shot loader is 33mm high - or you can use the Daystate SSL flat tray for the absolute lowest setup.

I have seen some pics of guys using, what looks like , medium rings. I would choose the .22 also. Looks like 40 good shots per fill, 30 fpe , lightweight, awesome airgun. A single shot tray is available. I doubt you will need many shots with that rifle.

I was worried about the scope height on the Revere but after owning a bullpup with a higher mount, I can say it works out great for a flat point of aim or little to no holdover from 25 yards to 50 yards.

Are you using the newer lower one that is 7 shots in .22? It is 30mm tall

 

[Tomiboy]

For those of you using the high rings.....are you able to get a comfortable cheek weld and good scope view?

Yes. I’m using UTG Pro high rings and I get comfortable cheek weld.

You will notice that the comb in the Huntsman is quite high, almost as if Daystate designed it with high scope rings in mind.

The Huntsman is an amazing rifle. Extremely accurate and the handling is second to none. Lots of years of refinement are obvious.

No, 9 shots.

Medium or high I wouldn`t know. However I have 18mm clearance between the scopetube and the rail. The scope is a Hawk with 30mm tube 4-16 x50.

I wonder if Daystate will ever put a picatinny rail on the Revere. I do have an adapter, that would raise it up some for medium rings. And maybe some sling studs. I highly doubt you will have to adjust anything on it. A factory tune you could trust.

These UTG dovetail to Picatinny adapters work great and don’t raise height much if any…

I have at least one this style. I like the ones with 3-4 bolts.

You don’t need the bolts for airguns.

The UTG ones use the clamping force from the ring bolts. 25 foot pounds is plenty to clamping force for PCP air rifles.

I believe you're talking about inch pounds my friend. I'd hate to see someone try to torque a mount to 25 foot pounds.

I was mistaken, my rings are the high Burris Z rings, with weaver-to-dovetail adapter. The new DS mag is 1.408", and the 9 shot CARM is 1.328". The measurement from receiver to scope tube is 1.6". Luckily, the scope placement locates the turrets rear of the breech opening.

Hi Chris,
Yep, inch pounds, lol. Don’t know how foot pounds popped into my head while typing that.

On the Revere I owned I used BKL double strap medium mount with an Athlon Talos scope. (1 inch tube)
I ran it back in the mounts just far enough so the tube was over the magazine and that's as low as you can go with a factory mag. You won't really get a cheek weld in the classic sense. More of a mid face mount. It was fairly comfortable. I'm a tight cheek guy so I worked at getting that scope down. A true tight cheek mount would put you in open sight territory. Just my opinion.
