Looking at Higher End .177's , Input From 1st Hand Owners Appreciated

I'm pretty sure that OP bfloyd1095 has a nice new gun inbound right now.

Hopefully he'll give us a report on it when he receives it and gets a chance to shoot it.

Well, my Renegade in .22 arrived late yesterday afternoon. Got her all scoped up last night and was able to zero and shoot some initial groups this morning.

I find the Renegade easier to shoot as compared with my Pulsar HP. Both have incredible triggers! But maybe with the longer barrel the Pulsar is a little less forgiving of my shooting errors as a rookie. The Renegade just shoots wonderfully for me.

Groups 1-4 below were shot after initial zeroing, still clicking in up-down-right left. Groups 5&6 I finally just left the scope where it had been set and shot. All 5 shot groups @ 25 yards, little to no wind, JSB 15.89's. Unfortunately not as backyard friendly as I had wanted, but the Tanto cured that just fine.

EDIT: A little more shooting done, and I'm happy to find that I get 70 shots off my rifle's labeled 220Bar fill before any POI drop at 25 yards. IIRC the Daystate literature said 50 shots off a fill in .22. But when it drops, it drops. Looks like it was falling off a regulator - if it was a regulated gun!

Had to bring the Pulsar HP (.177) out after shooting my new Renegade. Boy - I had been shooting mostly .22 stuff lately and I forgot how much of a laser beam the .177 pellets are close in and with little to no wind! I zeroed out a new scope and shot 8 groups. By group #4 I remembered that I had the best luck with that gun by really consciously pulling it hard into my shoulder. By Group #5 I forgot again, but then remembered for #6-8. I guess that I am figuring out how to shoot these Daystate 'pups.

Note target ring in most upper left corner. That was shots #76-80 with the Renegade (showing POI shift @25 yards).

I’m rocking the uragan compact in .177 

2nd the Uragan Compact shooting the JSB 10.34, very accurate and rock solid.

RAW for overall use! Thomas for more specific uses, And never look back...

Are you considering a 10m gun?

I have both both a Brocock Compatto XR Sniper (2020) version in .177, and I agree the gun is a bit over prices for what you get, and the trigger is definitely nothing to brag about. When comparing the Brocock trigger to the HW100, the HW100 is far superior, BUT I have a Taipan Compact in .25 caliber and the Taipan’s trigger beats all of them. Plus the Taipan is build like a something brick house. I would be interested in selling the Brocock and getting either a Edgun Matador or Taipan Vet standard or long in .177.

From what I have heard, if you don’t have a budget issue, I would go with Daystate, Taipan or EdGun. The Taipan for sure will be more solid and you can adjust the hammer power spring like nothing, I am loving that feature on my 25 cal compact. Also, I have an FX Impact Compact in .22 cal, which I can recommend, but you have to buy a separate barrel if you want the compact version because it isn’t sold in .177 stock.
