Hello All,
After a successful topic about buying a PCP to practice Silhouette during the offseason, I come back to you for a little more advice.
I've narrowed down my choices and right now it is really between the Daystate Huntsman Revere and the FX Dreamline Classic (the Air Arms S510 is still hanging out in the back of my mind too but I think similarities considered, I'd take the Dreamline).
Quick recap, this is primarily for practicing off-hand shooting at home, especially during the winter. I'll have a 10y 'range' in my garage and a 30y 'range' in my yard. Ergos are important on this as I want to somewhat mimic my Anschutz 1712 shooting experience, thus the focus on sporter style rifles.
Ok, so here is where I'm really stuck. I really like the idea of the FX from the perspective that they are so adjustable (barrels, change calibers, reg, hammer, valve, etc). I like to tinker accuracy out of a gun and even though it isn't that important for my off-hand practice, I wonder how much I'd miss not having really any adjustability with the Daystate. On the other hand, I hear a lot of QC complaints with FX and some of that is probably due to all of the things that can be changed along with their rate of 'innovation'. There is also a ~400 buck premium on the Daystate but that isn't all that important in the grand scheme and I think that the heirloom quality of a Daystate makes that 4 hundos understandable.
So, any advice on that? Anyone else have a similar struggle? I'd love to hear some feedback.
