Daystate Huntsman Revere

The Daystate Huntsman Revere is de successor of the Huntsman, an absolute Daystate bestseller. It’s an outstanding, high-quality PCP air rifle with great accuracy. Where its predecessor featured a bolt action, the Huntsman Revere sports a smooth working and play-free sidelever. But the Huntsman Revere is more than just that, it’s a stylish and classic looking piece of pure precision, both in build quality and accuracy.

This regulated PCP is an outstanding piece of engineering and British based Daystate has troubled itself to seek the very best suppliers worldwide to combine top notch parts into their air rifles. Take, for instance, the beautifully oiled walnut stock; it’s supplied by Italian stock maker Minelli. Though Daystate added the perforated shoulder pad in typically English red/brown rubber. The match-grade barrel comes from Lothar Walther in Germany. It’s shrouded, but the muzzle also features a thread (with thread protector) to mount a moderator to further reduce the noise level. To round up the international input, Daystate made use of a precision regulator from Huma Air in the Netherlands. With this, an excellent shot consistence is accomplished.

Daystate has always been known to be extremely innovative, which comes back in even the smallest details. Take the magazine; no plastic box, but a full metal and self-indexing example with an actual lid. The lid is held by a magnet and when opened, there’s no fuss loading the pellets. And when slid into the Huntsman Revere, the magazine is kept in place with another strong magnet. For those who want, a single shot tray is included with the air riddle. Of course, also with a magnet for positive placement.

In use, the Daystate Huntsman Revere isn’t just stylish and accurate, but very practical too. Its low weight makes it very comfortable to carry with you and the safety is easy to reach with the thumb of your trigger hand. The grip is nice and slim and even features a comfortable thumb shelf for those of you who like to shoot thumb up. The 2-stage trigger has its first stage adjustable in length of pull, while the second stage is adjustable in weight.

Interesting fact: Paul Revere was an American Revolution hero who, as legend goes, went to warn the Revolutionaries with ‘The British are coming!’ Quite cheeky of Daystate to name their latest Huntsman after Revere, as America is one of their biggest markets. All in good fun of course.
