Daystate Wolverine 2C

[Uriel]

My benchrest tack driver.

Daystate Wolverine 2C, .177 calibre, Hawke 10x44 Sidewinder, AirFective carbon fibre silencer, Rowan Engineering single shot adapter, Harris SRBM bipod.

This is my tool against which I judge all others. I use it for benchrest target shooting at 50 metres, and it is a tack driver - proper, actual, pellet-on-pellet accuracy. It's got a good, solid heft to it, and I have it set to a hair trigger to minimise unwanted movement when firing.

Prior to this, I owned an HW100KT which - as everyone knows - is also made of awesome. The only reason I sold the Weihrauch was because I can shoot better scores with the Daystate. Just to quantify that statement, I don't think that either rifle is better than the other in any way, shape or form; they each have different pros and cons, but both are bang-on, straight out the box, amongst the finest modern PCP rifles on the market. The Wolverine is heavier, but better balanced, and I find the stock is better suited to benchrest than the HW100's. Essentially, the Daystate simply suits my style of shooting more so than the Weihrauch, and that is why I, personally, can shoot better scores with it.

Now that's a beauty!!

Thanks. 
I tell you something, though - the bottom of the grip needs rounding off, because after a couple of hours it feels sharp!

What pellets do you shoot at what speed? Thanks,

That is my absolute favorite DS gun. It’s a beauty, congrats! I’m hoping that they bring the C class Regulated soon. May have to pull some OT at work though.

Mike, I use 8.44gr Air Arms Field Diabolos, JSB Exact, or Daystate Rangemaster Sovereign, in 4.52mm.

They're all essentially the same pellet, just made with different alloy mixtures. They are the same weight and shape, and have the same ballistic coefficient, and none of my rifles are pellet fussy, so I usually buy a few tins of whatever is cheapest at the time

Maximum velocity would be 802fps, for legal reasons, but the Wolverine shoots consistently at around 780 - 790fps, until pressure drop-off

Is there a difference between this Wolverine2 "C" Type and the Wolverine R "C" Type other bolt vs side lever and non-regulated vs regulated (and if it not a mistake 200cc vs 300cc)? The stock is gorgeous but the plastic that cover the bottle looks odd. Does it serve a function other than supporting the rail?

 

[Uriel]

I don't know what the difference is, sorry. 
I quite like the plastic bit! I would imagine it's integral to the design.

Gun looks terrific and I like the plastic shroud.
