Tough Decision

You would probably fetch more money selling your Safari BEFORE the Delta Wolf hits the US market. The Daystate programmer doesn't appear to be as easy to use in the field as the Delta Wolf's on board touch screen instant programming features with built in chrony.

They recently announced they are available in the UK so I would think any time now.

and there I thought there isn’t a gun I have the itch for other than leshiy 2, then the delta wolf is announced.....

The UK is back on lockdown, so if the Delta Wolfs are not already in the pipeline, there may be a delay in them getting across the pond......

Rumor is that the lockdown is supposed to last until Dec. 20th or so ????

@smitty8141 I agree with @odoyle you should sell before the new model hits the market. It will require some suffering while you wait for the Delta Wolf, but you gain an economical advantage. And yes, Chuck is right...lockdown in UK has slowed somethings down, but I think the Daystate facility is still open, it isn’t a lockdown to the scale they had in Spring, but I would had a month or two delay.

Thanks for the clarification Blackpaw.

@smitty8141 you will have to factor in. If you haven’t already put in an order for a Delta Wolf, add a few months wait, like the Leshiy 2, you will have to wait for the back order, which I am sure exists. Thus if you CAN wait, makes it more of an economic advantage to you.

I had the same idea smitty and regret not having my Red Wolf anymore. I shouldn’t have sold mine. Unfortunately I sold my 2 Uragans too.. I assumed I could pick one of the used DWs over the winter from someone, but that doesn’t even look promising. The guys in the know in the US said that they thought Dec seemed most realistic for getting them even with thoughts of Nov just a while back. And I did ask about the wait list at AoA... they said it would be at least March or April if you aren’t already on the list. Also, I do think the lockdown is going to be like Spring. Remember lockdowns were only of 1 month at a time then too, even when they knew it would be several. It is up to you, but if you want to shoot your sweet shooter for a while longer, I wouldn’t get rid of it yet. I also think the used price on the Red Wolfs is about as low as it can go for a good while.

My regret is buying my Red Wolf. Wish I had waited for the delta, though I had no way of knowing it was coming. The cost of a RW plus programmer plus chronograph is probably what the DW costs. And having to take the RW out of the stock to re-program it is a big drawback. Now if Daystate would just add a button to wake the gun up that would be a huge improvement. I’ve dropped shots in FT due to it going to sleep so often and me in the habit of waking it up and firing without a pellet loaded. Also bad design for hunters. Imagine walking though the woods, seeing your prey, and then either having to cycle the bolt a couple times or snap the safety on and off to wake the gun up.

Bear in mind you guys are comparing an already proven excellent rifle platform to a new bullpup. 

Many shooters possibly most have an easier time hitting their targets with traditional style rifle configurations compared to bullpups versions.

I have a much easier (and much more comfortable) time hitting things with my Redwolfs as compared to my Pulsars.

I think the Delta Wolf is going to be a great gun . The best news for most of us is when it eventually hits the ground there are going to be lots of used FX impacts available (used).
I like Daystate guns but I’m not spending all that money or waiting all that time . I could maybe handle one or the other but both? Turns me off but I do understand that we live in challenging times

Man I have no use for an impact or the delta wolf, but if I did, the delta wolf would for sure be the gun I would buy no doubt. Even knowing I have pretty much no use for it, I still kinda want one. Cant believe living here in Colorado there are no big air gun shops, probably a good thing though, as iam sure if I got my hands on it, I could find a “ need”.

Funny you said that. That is the one draw back for me, I much prefer a standard rifle platform. I have never gotten used to bench resting a bullpup. Guess it’s time to learn. 
I pulled the trigger today and got on the long list of people waiting for the Delta from AOA. They said they are expecting them in March or April.

Well that’s bad news. I’ve been on the waiting list since February already. Looks like it wil be a year+

Sounds like a nice healthy wait, this is great because it prevents impulse buy!

I think he means March or April if you get on the list now. That is what they told me too. They expect the first batch before then.

Yes. I just talked to AoA. It's January (maybe) for those already on the list.
