Daystate Popularity

Perhaps their advertising budget is as big as some of the other companies?

Or they just put their sales into their quality and word of mouth, instead of their sales in paid Youtube content. You will notice the paid/sponsored content has a lot of talk about their platforms and lots of big bold stickers so everyone knows what type of gun it is. 



For me, I like quality that speaks for itself. 

Although I made a mistake buying a .303 caliber (too much pellet for my neighborhood), my renegade hp has been a great rifle. No leaks, no quality issues, accurate, well engineered. I would definitely recommend daystate. I have an rti, ataman, weihrauch, edgun. Love em all. I use my friends fx, also good, just seems a little fragile.

Funny, I always thought the same thing about Taipan's, Daystate's Huntsman and the Taipan Veteran are my favorite airguns..."Well done is better than well said"...I guess.

I got my 1st Daystate last year ( Huntsman Regal .22 LH). I love it, it’s super accurate and shoots a variety of pellets all accurately even The Crosman Premier HP’s. They make well made guns that work out of the box. I’m keeping mine for the long run. One of my Buddies shot mine - he liked it so much he ended up buying one to. They are great guns, you don’t hear many having issues with them as much as other Airgun Brands. 

Usually the guns with the biggest bark go out with the loudest whimper.

I have noticed, there are very few videos, articles and the like focusing on Daystate. Interested as to why?

I was hesitant to buy a Daystate (Red Wolf) mainly because I was used to seeing infomercials on Youtube for some of the other brands. I looked into Daystate a little more and couldn't find much in the way of negative posts or comments with regard to any problems or issues. I was very happy with my Red Wolf and am now on a waiting list for a Delta Wolf.

Daystate has been in the PCP business longer than most and manufacture quality refined products. There are many excellent PCP manufacturers out there, Daystate is one of them.

I’ve been shooting Daystate rifles for several years now. I haven’t sold one yet and now have 5 in my cabinet. Wouldn’t change a thing.

Daystate hasn't had many issues that I have heard about over the years. And as was mentioned, they've been building PCPs a long time. 

That "other brand with the marketing team and youtubers" is FX. I'll go ahead and get that out in the open. 

Daystate doesn't really rely on paid spokesman, and their products have been known to be very reliable from what I've seen and heard. 

Search about any FX model ever made and you'll find posts trying to solve issues. Hell half of the posts on this forum seem to be people trying to fix their FX. 

My next PCP will probably be a Daystate. 

Unfortunately, that only works to the consumer who has no issue with taking chances. I'd like to have one, but it's a hard choice dropping over 2k on a maybe. And since I see used Daystate rifles bringing 50% of thier initial cost, I wonder if I'm not taking a chance where I don't need to. For the owners of a Daystate, how do they fair with longevity? Computer systems? Batteries? Solenoid valves etc?

Sounds like you are looking at the electronic rifles, not many options there. Daystate is a proven maker, and its products are good. But the technology and competition marches on, and resale values will suffer. If you are looking for predictable, high resale value, the PCP market may not be for you. It's not a chance, but a near certainty, you will take a hit when selling or trading a used PCP rifle.

Have to echo this. Very accurate. Also, Daystates do hold their value. A %50 price reduced used Daystate should be jumped on provided it is <95% state. There are also unregulated versions they are well balanced in their valves.

Daystate are very accurate and excelent quality.

Airgun Technology are the same but not as preatty.

FX is the same but more light and fragile.

Now I have been told since the start of FX importing to the USA that the FX line is not a (IMPACT) beginner gun its for skilled people that like to tinker and fix and work on there guns, Now I do watch a lot of Videos with guys like Matt, Ted and a few others making crazy shots with there FX guns, And its also clear that these guys have there hands in the FX pocket,,, 

For some reason if you say Daystate I think of the UK guys over there making killer shots with a 177 12 FT LB gun....

It would really suck to be a newbie and have to try and filter through all the BS on the air guns.

oops got off track somewhere.

Daystates may not be as popular as some brands. But they are an undeniably solid maker/manufacturers of high quality PCPs. They just don't make a lot of waves with the "mod or upgrade of the week". They chug along making dependable PCPs out the box. Their Delta Wolf is currently top of the heap in cutting edge tech in a PCP.
