New Daystate Red Wolf

[Panzer]

I have a hunting 5 Steyr in ,22 for silhouette shooting, but it is way too powerful for our HFT rules, on the other hand a Daystate Pulsar was just traded in for the new wolverine R because the bullpup style just does not fit me and I could not wrap my head around three different power levels, now that was an expensive learning curve!

Can’t imagine the Red Wolf being any better than my Crown .25, after owning two AW MCT’s and returning both to AoA for repairs one went back 2X. I’m forever no longer interested in a gun that only one repair center in the USA can service.

amen to that,,,,for me electronics in air rifles will never fly,,,,old school perhaps.

Amazing though that vast numbers of paint ball markers are sold with very similar electronics in them. And over the past 10 to 15 years, these paint ball markers have proven to be ULTRA reliable, in spite of the terrible abuse they receive in the field during competition and general use.

Can the Crown be had in 177? I tried and was told no, but I was under the impression a 177 barrel could be fit on.

Giles has had a walnut one of these for a long while now, hinting several times that it’s excellent. I wonder where the review is? I wonder if there is some sort of review embargo until the end of March?

way overpriced 5#s though the walnut is nice

Will the Rosso Hp Redwolf in .25 be a 60 foot pound gun on the max setting? I saw that printed on several daystate cards from the shot show. But now on the daystate website , they have the specs printed for the hp at 50 foot lbs. Being that it is electronic, would it be able to be tuned to a 60 lb gun for hunting?

Dunno - everything I've seen said 60fpe high power 0.25, but I checked the website info you mentioned now. Not sure if that's shot count at a certain power level or flat out max. I doubt its max, as the 0.22 HP is also there at 50fpe and the 303 at 70fpe so likely a typo or just the shot count thing. The 0.25 should fall between them.

That's odd, the .303 at 70 fpe? That's very low for a .30 cal air rifle. My .30 FX Bobcat easily shoots 80 fpe, and I'm sure the new EDgun R5 goes higher than that....

I am hoping for the .25 34 gr to get 900-920 fps. with the Red wolf LE HP. I do not really care what the shot count is at that power. Hopefully the max setting with allow this.

Not sure how accurate those numbers are at the moment. May yet be more aimed giving shot count info rather than stating absolute power.

I do remember the airwolf was a pretty limited on absolute power output due to how hard the solenoid could hit the valve at that stage of the technology. The redwolf is a good bit better/more advanced but maybe a similar limitation applies?

Thanks, and agree. In my experience with Daystate, they tend to "choke" the flow of air from the tube/cylinder to the HP side of the Slingshot Valve. Not sure exactly why their Engineers do this, probably because they are more familiar with the 12 fpe market than the American market. In my Renegade, the port that goes from the pressure tube through the valve house to the valve is truly "pencil lead" diameter... I've been tempted to drill it out so the gun can "breath" better but I still have two years left on the warranty. ;(

Hi all, great forum and great people too.

Curious though what advantage there is between say ( .30) a 70 fpe gun and a 80 fpe one? 
Same question between ( in .25 ) 45 fpe and say 50 or 55 fpe?

Always wanting to learn before buying next .25.

safe shooting

well with a .30 shooting at 70fpe it would be a loopy trajectory, more so than an 80.

for .25 shooting kings at 45 is fine but if you want to shoot the king heavies 33.9gr I found they like the high 800s just as much as low 800s. I have my Royale shooting at about 58fpe for the heavies and helps keeping the shot flight flatter and of course hit harder.

Why no reviews yet on this gun. Probably because they are all sold and no need to review it.
