Daystate Wolverine R HP .303 ....Slim to none info and reviews

I thought the same thing when looking at the Rengade HR/HP. The HP model says 18 shots at 80 ft/lbs but nothing on the number of shots from the HR/HP at 80 ft/lbs. Thought that was the whole point of it being regulated was to tout the number of shots at higher power. 

get .30 cal edgun from edgun west

regulated guns offer you high shotcount and very good consistency, but less power than non regulated.... i have wolverine r hp in 2 cal and came to me at 45fpe, non regulated achieves 60+fpe.... non regulated gives you about 25 shots, regulated gives you 90 very consistent shots.... conclusion, non regulated hp daystates are for hunting purposes.... regulated you can do both hunting or target shooting!!

RAW HM1000X .30!!!

How about consistent HP shots. From shot strings I have seen of non-regulated rifles they are not real flat. Some what bell shaped. Shot count is important. Consistent is more important IMHO

about 20 fps from the highest to the lowest.... and if i only shoot it on that sweet spot (230bas to 150).... the difference of fps on that string is about 8-10fps

just bought a wolverine r 303 60ft-lbs reeding the factory test the average ft-s is 736 do you think is underpowered?

So I have some info about it. Turns out the Wolverine R HP .22 that I received from AOA was originally a regulated .303. When I received my gun I found the .303 paperwork from Daystate including a matching serial # on my rifle that matched the info on the box. Except it had a .22 barrel and probe and a different regulator pressure. 

I talked to Darren at AOA and was concerned that I had received some Frankenstein Daystate, especially since I had a .303 mag included in the box instead of a .22 mag. He said that Daystate had planned on shipping the regulated .303 to AOA but they refused shipment of the guns when they found out the guns were only producing 60 ft lbs, telling Daystate no one would buy an expensive underpowered .303. So Daystate, instead of scrapping the guns, fitted them with .22 barrels, probes, and returned them as .22 HP models which shoot 45 ft lbs easily. 

The test paper from Daystate showed a very tight ES and SD using the 50g pellets for roughly 60 ft lbs of energy. No idea about shot count or anything else. Don’t know if AOA even carries the HP .303. 

thinking of return it back...i have not shoot it yet. i agree it has almost the power of a 25.cal

I dont know much about regulators, but like the idea. Cant Daystate sit down with Huma to just enlarge the regulator? In the end getting still more shots than unregulated, and keeping the power at 100 ft/lbs. in 303 Wolverine. I assume current regulators in the 303 Wolverine can't be cranked up individually to reach 100 ft/lns??

Great thread by the way, and well said on all above write ups!

i call my local dealer (greece) who sold the gun to me and discuss about the power (60 ft-lbs). He told me that daystate tuned the gun at this power in terms of an all around 30cal airgun not only for hunting (forbidden in greece) but for target shooting . plinking etc, more shots per fill and better accuracy.From this point of view i agree with daystate.Also the wolverine r is a new gun and the wolverine 2 will remain in production including the hp model producing 100lb-fts. if someone wants raw power from his gun that is the way to go.. so...i decide to keep the gun and put a scope on it and test it.. maybe the over all perfomance and build quality of the gun whitch is outstanding give me a big smile..

disappointing the regulated wolverine

I was expecting a rifle with 100 foot pounds and higher shooting count

daystate please need us a rifle with 100 foot pounds and a higher shooting count

Incase someone finds this later- like me...

I purchased a walnut Wolverine r 303 in early 2021 from AOA . It was priced at roughly $1850.. it looks great and cycles very smooth. Accuracy is very good at 10-60 yards, even in the wind. 

I was able to tune it a bit- 69 fpe at 790 fps with ~50 fx or JSB's. I increased the striker pin length by turning it clockwise. I also enlarged the transfer port on the barrel slightly. The Regulator is set at 170+ from the factory. IMO the reason you can not achieve more power is the plenum size, which is in the main block. There are no stats I could find on the size, but you can hear it fill after each shot like my Maverick..so not sure what that tells me..

I plan on keeping it but I do agree with a majority of the posts, not much power for a 30 caliber.. its too long to make a practical hunting rifle..
