Some weeks of experience with the Daystate Renegade .177

[Emu]

Well the efect is the same as the must comfortable shoes: you can wear any other pair you have, but you feel very good with those you feel as if they were made exactly for you.

The rifle is indeed accurate and soft as silk to shot. It has the perfect length to have it to shot from the window of my SUV.

It gives more than enough shots per fill.

If there is no a real specific reason to bring a bigger caliber to the adventure, the Renegade is THE choice. My Airgun Technology Uragan in 22 and Vulcan 2 in 25 as well as the Bantam Sniper in 25 and my classic rifles are on vacation untill a real need appears.

Sweet that you are having a great time with your new rig. Being able to shoot it from a vehicle like a PDW is a plus.

Did the gun come with a good factory tune or did you have to make any adjustments. That's one of my bucket list guns. I really like the look.

Raden -

Not many...adjustments can be made to the Renegade. Not without taking it apart and replacing parts. Trigger, yes.

It's the Pulsar that is tunable for power, along with the trigger.

I am shooting it as it arrived. I just mounted the scope and a bubble level to the scope (irrespective on the one already in the rail of the rifle).

The rifle shoots like a champ.

There's something that I need and want to remark: This rifle does not move AT ALL at the shot and hits exactly where you aim at. Your work is to evaluate the distance, hold the rifle in the right position according to the bubble level on the scope, define the spot where you want the pellet to hit and pull the SUPER trigger exactly there.

In a word: ALL AIR RIFLES SHOULD WORK WITH THIS PRECISION ! 

The electronic trigger is magic, a dream!

Congrats! Sounds like a winner

I have a Renegade in .177 from AOA and a Pulsar in .22; once you experience the electronic trigger everything else is sub-par. I tuned the trigger on my Renegade where you simply breathe with intent on the trigger and off it goes.

Emu, if you ever decide you want a bipod in my experience the UUQ is really good to stablize the Renegade and Pulsar. They tend to be end-heavy and thus prone to tipping with more narrow bipods at certain bi-pod angles such as 45deg.

Sounds like a cool gun. I was wondering if I wanted to try the daystate electronic trigger or not. Seems like its great but I wasn't too familiar with how durable or long lasting it is or if I wanted to deal with batteries. With a name like daystate though I'm sure you can get a replacement if it goes out. Its probably worth the trouble if its as good as you guys say.

It works with the cubic 9 volts battery you can buy everywhere. 

No problem at all in regard of a difficulty to get the battery: Eveready, Duracell or your favorite one.

AOA put a lithium 9V in mine. The Pulsar uses six AA which totals to 9V; I am using lithium AAs. A single allen screw holds the stock and you just slide it off to access the internals and battery. These batteries last for years, not weeks or months, so there is almost no headache. Of all the PCPs I have owned and shot I like the Renegade and the Pulsar the most. The electronic trigger is really best in class.

What pellets have you been using in the gun? I have a pulsar hp 177 a little longer and heavier with the batteries but I enjoy it a lot. I have an opportunity to purchase a renegade 177, and have been thinking about it a lot for using in the barns because it is short and lighter. Keep us posted on your results thanks for sharing.

JSB 8.4 grain.

I'm using 7.9gr CPHs for a average velocity of around 981 FPS. They're great out to 50 yards. I've got a Tatsu on the Renegade and a Shogun on the Pulsar. I've tried the Shogun on the Pulsar but the difference is almost nonexistent with the Tatus due to the slap-ping the Renegade does for the slingshot firing mechanism. The critters are oblivious to both the Renegade and it's bigger buddy, the Pulsar in .22.

8thman have you thought about a Renegade in .22?
