Absolutely nothing better than an old Daystate. There was a reason the Chinese copied it for the BAM 50 Chuntsman.

EXCELLENT SHOOTING! I have a PH6 (6 shooter) version of your gun great shooter too. Thanks for sharing. Super pellet friendly guns. Try the 14.3 CPHPs from Wal-Mart and 14.3 Crosman pointed I'm sure you'll be pretty amazed especially the pointeds. Yo!

Awesome target Zeke. I used to have a mk2, unfortunately just one in a list of guns I wish I still owned. You've got a shooter there!

Beautiful gun!
Is that scope a 6-24x40 Bushnell Elite?
Had one like it a long time ago.
It was my 1st Elite among 4.
Good glass but the elevation was too limited I had to shim the rear.
And yes and on another note, there is still a BAM 50/51 in Canada for around $150USD to $170USD.
Regarding the Elite scope again, I have seen a store still selling it--I thought they were long gone, lol!

Yes Darkhorse you nailed its the Bushnell 4200, I am using no limit rings because of that very reason, (no MOA built into rails then) Only scope I have ever had on this rifle. Can’t beat the clarity of it in my opinion.
Guys I will say this, I spent a lot of money on this in ‘96 and I got what I paid for... a very accurate rifle that has brought me so much joy over the years, and so many other people are one and done with their purchases because other manufacturers cut corners and create sub par equipment. Sad but true. That’s why forums such as this are so Very important to hold said manufacturers feet to the fire for raping the public and stealing the joy that people could have in this outstanding sport we have.

Great accuracy from a fine rifle. You don’t need the latest, greatest... good quality from the start, makes it timeless classic.

Yes, it is indeed a nice scope..Pretty long, too, almost 2' with the sunshade installed, lol!

Yes, it looks sexy on your gun and blends well with the Daystate's brass accouterments, sir.
The reason why I got mine was because of the gold inscriptions to match the brass parts on my S200.
If that Bushnell had white markings it would look off and tasteless--yes, I am very picky when it comes to color combinations.

I have one in .177. Mine is turned down to 12 FPE and, just like yours, it shoots one hole groups. I got mine in about '01 or '02. I got it used on the old yellow form.

Fine rifles aren’t they. Yours has a silver spacer by the barrel band. Wonder why or when colors were changed ? I am so glad to see others still in use, classics.
Yo... I used to use brown box Crossman Premiers 14.3 grn but when the JSB 15.89 came out they performed so much better for me that I stopped using the CPs.

Thank you for sharing these beauties, gents.
There is a Daystate Harrier SE/Special Edition (silver tube and barrel with a Gary Cane walnut stock) in the Canadian Airgun Forum being sold for $525CAD + shipping.
I hope the link works:

$525CAD is just $375USD
Not too sure, too, if the seller ships to the US.

Nothing beats old school, Zeke.
I have read in a forum that modern day machinists/mechanics were so impressed by the exacting tolerance fit of WW2 aircraft engine parts.

That's a pretty good entry level Daystate. Had a 22 just like that one purchased from Marty Macnaughton SP? forgot his company name it's been a while DaveGs buddy that shot very well traded it why I have no idea till today stupid move maybe but I think remembering back it shot slow like a 22 Fortitude and only 25 shots being the reason and my CR94 shot better with a better trigger but that's apples to oranges. I bought a 177 with proven FT winning pedigree after that. Still have the 177. Wouldn't have bought it if it weren't for its history (PROVEN PEDIGREE IS GOOD) worth collecting IMHO. Yo!
