Putting the price aside, i'm still considering which one to buy both .22 high power version (30 ft lb).
Here are my requirements:
1- great looking wooden stock (both have Minelli gorgeous wood)
2- accuracy must be worthy of competitions 50 meters and above.
3- shot count does not matter.

side notes: the Bsa will be fitted with a huma regulator.
the Wolverine will be working at its optimum pressure.

Which one to buy please ?
 
This is an awesome question and I can't wait to hear the replies. The reason being that the R10 is such a great rifle for the money, had such accolades from its owners (myself included) and I've often wondered what I could be gaining if I ever decided to sell it and try a wolverine. Things I like about my R10 in no particular order:

1) Awesome Minelli stock made by the same company as the Daystate stocks.
2) very effective regulator. (Still not sure why some folks switch to HUMA in this gun) I only ever sent 20 shots over the chrony but the extreme spread was within 4 or 5. Don't remember the exact number but I remember being really impressed.
3) Accuracy from the BSA barrel is second to no other guns I've personally owned. Maybe slight edge to the Royale I owned but it's really a tough call. I've had AA, Kaliber, Raw, FX and Hatsan for comparison.
4) Nice straight forward magazine system.
5) Ships with swivel studs installed from the factory. A small thing I know but still appreciated.
6) Shrouded barrel. Not mouse fart quiet but certainly back yard friendly. (Mine is in .22, .25 may be louder, .177 may be quieter.
7) The scope rail over the magazine has no breaks to accommodate the magazine so scope ring placement is that much easier. Another small thing I know but hey, it's the little things right? ;-)
8) Fully adjustable trigger. I really like the trigger, but I do wish it was more straight forward to adjust. I'd like mine to break a bit lighter even after adjusting the tension spring to the lightest setting. I've read of many folks that are better versed in triggers than I am getting theirs to break super lightly but the adjustments don't seem that straight forward to me and I've not ventured further for fear of messing it up. That being said it's still a very nice trigger, I've just been spoiled by some of the best out there, RAW in particular.
9) Ergonomically well balanced and shoulders very nicely.

The groups below were all shot consecutively at 50 yards from a bench, no wind.

Best of luck with whatever you choose!!

Cliff, I have a friend who has a Daystate MK4 in .177 . It is lights out accurate inside of 50 yds. I've shot it several times and it seems to be more accurate than my AA S500, and even my Cricket and FX at the 30 yd mark? Might have something to with the electronic trigger?
Was having a hard time accepting anything with an electronic trigger, but the more I shoot it, the more I can see why it's so accurate, and I'm really starting to like it.
It shoots the 8.44 grain JSB Exacts the best.
Anyway, he's looking into getting one of these BSA R-10 's in .22 cal.
Seems the .22 cal are on back order and won't be back in stock until late August?
He's tried several different dealers and same story. So they must be flying off the shelves? LOL!

Cliff, I am Jimmy's friend with the Daystate MK4 IS....I figured I would add my 2 cents and maybe answer any questions about this fine rifle. As Jimmy stated i tried all the suppliers to get a BSA R10 MK2 this very afternoon, but they all had the same story,,,,no shipments until the end of next month.. Bummer! I was looking forward to getting it this week or there after. So was Jimmy.(maybe more then me).

The Daystate is wonderful to shoot. Again like Jimmy said, it is laser accurate as long as you do your part. The trigger I have set is the same from the factory. There was no need to change it. the electronic trigger is super smooth. The stock is the same manufacture as the BSA, MInelli in Italy. the shape of the stock is the thing. Both I and Jimmy feel it is one of the most comfortable rifles to hold. In your photos it looks just like the Daystate. Everything fits just right, I have no problems with the electronics and have had it in the rain at FT competitions at our club with absolutely no effects to the gun. However the Wolverine has the mechanical trigger I believe. Najiam would not go wrong with the Daystate, except for about another $1000.00 out of pocket. 

I am looking for an accurate .22 to add to my limited group of PCP's..... I am conversing with Michael Niksch about building me one of his "Thomas " rifles with the polygonal barrel. We are interested in getting our club into benchrest besides field target, His rifles are the top scorers at the comps, but It also is a top cost of $3000.00!

I want to be sure at my age of 62, I can compete well enough before I jump into that price range, That is why I want the BSA. You stated you don't know why the buyers are putting in the Huma regs. Is it maybe the older models that need it?

The only thing I may do to the MK4 is add a hamster for off hand st the FT comps, I tried some foam under the gun and I was a bit steadier that way.

R-10 ALL THE WAY!!!

Didn't see this post until just now. I have an R10 with a HuMa regulator. It is the most accurate rifle I've shot to date. And I've been lucky enough to shoot a lot of different rifles because of my job. I have not had the privileged to shoot a RAW yet but, I don't know how it could be more accurate then my one hole R10. I've made a few post about my rifle and the different things I've done to it so, I'm not going to put it all done again. I don't know what else to say really. I'm a BSA fanatic now. I'm already trying to get more!
