HUMA regulator for Daystate Renegade .22

No, I think they’ve become much more consistent. Just follow the advice in the topic and you’ll be fine. I wouldn’t expect the same power that you get prior to the Huma but better consistency. I have a spare one if you haven’t already ordered one. 

Out of the five that I've done, one of them was totally stuck, almost like it was loc tite on the tube. Make sure you remove the barrel, then put the breech in a vice (rubber or leather to protect the finish), and use another piece of sticky rubber like those kitchen jar removal type pieces to get a grip on the tube and turn it with both hands. If that doesn't work try using a hot air gun on the breech end for a few minutes to heat it up then try again... FYI, the air tube must be completely degassed or it certainly won't budge.

Sounds like a bad oring or maybe it got cut on install. Replace with a new oring and try it again. 

Hi centercut, I’m considering a pulsar or renegade hp.177 or mainly.22. Planning on shooting nsa slugs just would like your opinion. Thanks Gene

If you get a Pulsar I would get a HeliBoard for it. It just makes the gun so much easier to tune. Can't tell you about which slugs might work. I know on my .22 Red Wolf HP (Bleu) it LOVES the .217 JSB Knock Out slugs. So much so that they outperform the .22 JSB RD Monster pellets. The HP versions of the .22 Pulsar and Renegade have a similar barrel. 

Hi Mike,

Do you still have the spare Huma regulator? I want to get one for my Renegade .22.

Awesome post BTW - Renegade looks amazing and must perform amazing too.

Thanks,

Thanks. That gun was a laser. Should have kept it, since it was the first high end PCP that I bought.

Nope, I had it until I bought my .177 Pulsar. After installing the HeliBoard and tuning it for 20 FPE with the JSB RD Monsters, I decided to install the Huma and turn the gun into an Alpha Wolf... Set reg at 150 bar, and then finely tuned the 142, 152 and 162 bar settings on the HeliBoard. Shoots 815 FPS for about 100 shots with an ES of about 7 FPS. 

The gun is super accurate! Now I just have to learn how to shoot Field Target, since I got the coveted "Anchor position" (last place) at my latest tournament, the Sonoran Desert GP in Phoenix last weekend. 

Yes, I have an Impact X that was a .30 with PP when I bought it. I turned it into a .25 Slugger which was my intention when I bought it. I know the better choice based on Matt's video is .22, but I'm stubborn and was told that .25 was not a good choice for slugs, and that .22 and .30 were better. So I decided to get a .25 and see if that was true. Its not. I ended up shooting the .25 NSA 43.5 grain slugs like a laser at 895 FPS. BC of about 0.110. Gun is good out to about 200 yards. MOA at 100 yards with 5 shot groups.

My Renegade was/is the most accurate gun I've ever owned. Many times I shot it at 50 yards and thought something was wrong with the gun when I saw only one hole after a couple of shots. I think overall the Daystate guns are more ACCURATE than the FX guns for PRECISION shooting. My Red Wolf is more accurate than my Impact, both shooting slugs, and the .22 Red Wolf HP is just easier to shoot with a better trigger. I like both, but if I was shooting at 100 yards for money with slugs I'd shoot Bleu (my .22 Red Wolf HP). 

I have a friend who is a VERY good shooter that was an FX fanboy, and had FOUR Impacts. About six months ago he shot a .22 Red Wolf HP, and was loaned one to shoot for a few months. Now he's all Daystate... I'd say if you're looking for a slugger to shoot out over 100 yards go with the Impact or Maverick. 100 yards and in definitely Daystate. 

For those that say .25 slugs aren’t accurate or can’t be properly tuned, I present exhibit 1, shot a few hours ago. 100 yards 5 shots, .25 Impact X PP 43.5 NSA at 895 FPS. 3/4 inch C2C. Fairly windy. 

I’ve never tried to adjust the HST on the Renegade. I think you can but I don’t know how. I left it as is and used reg pressure to adjust pellet speed.
