Daystate I do not know if should be angry or happy.

.25 and .30 lackluster accurate barrels are not an unheard of phenomenon when it comes to daystate. Makes me paranoid to buy a used one. I bought a used 25 DW before I knew. Luckily it shoots good. Would like a 30 but hesitant because of everything I’ve read.

If you get a LW barrel on a Daystate, RAW, etc. that doesn’t seem willing to deliver tight groups, check for the common potential machining defects at the crown, leade, and barrel port. But also be aware that most will have a tight region near the breech that you can feel distinctly when pushing a pellet through. It needs to be corrected with lapping to reveal the barrel’s potential.

I'd like to know more about this, as a new Daystate owner with high expectations and low results. Can you visually inspect and tell if this is needed? I have what I think is the feel of a tight breech that you describe, but I don't have experience with other guns.

Not that Air Venturi == Daystate, but Avenger barrels are uncrowned. Or at least they used to be.

If you can eject a projectile from your rifle....it has a crown. The crown is the last thing a bullet touches before leaving the barrel.
The crown must be perpendicular to the bore and burr free. Anything else is superficial.

This morning I was able to shoot the Wolverine wth NSA 29 grain slugs at 90 yards without wind at all.
The accuracy is absolutely perfect. Not much power, so a lot of compensation compared with the Leopard, but perfect.

FYI, just checked the crown on my .22 Wolverine R and it looks fine.
The end of the barrel is highly polished and appears to be slightly dished (concave) rather than having a pronounced chamfer. No complaints about the accuracy!
What ever reason/solution, I'm glad your Daystate is now shooting well!
Cheers!

Here are the pictures of shooting at 90 yards.
Please take into consideration that I am just a hunter. Not an EBR shooter. I do not shoot from a bipod, but from a rest I made….
So please, be tolerant of my standards.

Mike detailed how to recognize it here:
POLISH AN LW POLYGONAL BARREL?
22lr. It's not too dirty at the moment, but I'm following the Vudoo cleaning method, so no solvents will ever go down this barrel, only C4 for the carbon ring.
