Well, their announcement of this rifle does say "The British are Coming" and shows the shadow of Paul Revere's ride. Is the name unexpected?

The NEW Daystate Revere!
- Thread starter DaystateUSA
- Start date
In the historical reference, the British were not welcome, so I question the intent of their ad campaign. Beautiful gun, but low on power and shot count for the US market.

Hopefully it'll be like night and day difference but with the cocking action having to actuate the magazine I'm curious how good it can be. The "feeled" ease will also be influenced by how tight the inlead is on your barrel. Mine is pretty snug especially with any pellets over 5.52. I have a couple of tins of 16's and 18's that must be 5.54's (unmarked) or so it seems. Got my fingers crossed for a great improvement.

Well, if it gets 40 shots per fill in .22, then I think that’s great for such a small (162cc) cylinder. The 250cc cylinder of the FX Dreamline gets 50 or less shots per fill @30 foot pounds (from what I see). That means you get only 10-15 more shots per fill off of an additional 84ccs.

Man the wood on that stock of the rifle that is sitting next to the rocks gives me wood. Sorry to be so vulgar but come on

You can be sure that stock was custom selected, finished to perfection and photographed with much additional attention to detail. Will not look like that out of the box for us commoners.

That's nice. However, my .177 cal Regal XL -- unregulated -- with the "patented Harper Slingshot hammer and valve" system needs no regulator. I fill to 210 bar and get 65+ accurate shots. The bolt-action is smooth with a short pull. This .177 cal is one of a handful of PCPs that I will never sell.
I own a 22 Regal XL unregulated that gets 1/4" groups at 50 yards. A well known very respected AGN Member here shot this very rifle and also got 1/4" groups at 50 yards too. YEP IT IS UNREGULATED and I SHALL NEVER PUT A REGULATOR IN THIS ONE.

YO
Two questions/remarks
How much do you want for the .177?
A respected AGN member shooting your 22 seems to indicate that you & the member were together in the same place at the same time: therefore verifying your existence
Phew!
What a relief!

I like the marketing. "The British are coming" with a pic of Paul Revere is fun. I don't think anyone should get their panties in a bunch over something that happened almost 250 years ago.
I think they knocked it out of the park

Daystate used a silhouette of what could be Paul Revere and the phrase "The British are coming", so no vanity there.

Beautiful rifle, but what else would you expect from Daystate? Now if some kind person could just lend/gift/donate the money to get one....
Seriously, would love to have one but WAY out of my price range.

I had an unregulated .22 cal Daystate Regal XL from AoA for 18 months. Scott (Motörhead) also added a HUMA reg and did his usual great tune.
Before and after the tune, it was always very accurate to 50 yards and even more so at 25-40 yards. I averaged somewhere between 1/2” and 3/4” at 50 yards with hundreds of groups with the JSB 15.89 and 18.1 pellets. I was very happy with that level of accuracy.
If you are “regularly” shooting an amazing 1/4 “ groups ( 1/2” is MOA at 50 yards ); which is considerably less than MOA at 50 yards, you have an amazingly accurate Regal. I can’t recall ever shooting pellet on pellet groups consistently at 50 yards with mine, not even one time. It would shoot 1/2” pretty often, occasionally a bit less, but never 1/4”. Don’t ever sell it!

Daystate - Can you please answer and address some of the questions posted? You announced the Revere on July 4th, and have received a favorable response thus far:
1. Can you address the power adjustability issue and why you have not included easily adjustable power options? If no power wheel, at least a Hex nut adjustment would have been very well received. Just trying to understand your exclusion of this req’t. Owners want to adjust power plain and simple
2. Assume you have removed the built in Airstream moderator Which was on prior models, based on users wanting to use after market LDCs. Did not see you reference that in your feature Description. Can you confirm or clarify with more detail?
3. How is this new gate loading, self indexing magazine different than the newest DS magazines? You don’t say what is so good about it or contrast to older style mags
4. Why have you not included an Ambi or lefty stock as “standard?” The ability to switch side lever to right or left hand side is a given, but not having an Ambi stock is puzzling
5. what pellets and velocities are expected?
6. Are you still using LW barrels?
Over 800 views as of today, but the announcement is lacking details. Can you please provide?
Thanks Tom
