Could someone remind me what the differences are between these two?
I knew once - but I've forgotten..thanks
Gordon..
As far as I am aware, huntsmen tend to be ground based, whilst Harriers can climb to a ceiling of 20,000 ft. The latter also tends to have rather more violent hunting equipment !
(Now theres a thought - hunting bunnies with 500lb bombs....)
Sorry - couldnt help it!
hmmm - its gonna be one of those nights... I just know it... lol

New back to airgunning, so unfortunately I know very little yet, (and making all the traditional mistakes!) - someone will know though!
The huntsman has a nice blued finish on the cylinder and barrel where the harries is matt finish, Also i Think the huntsman is longer by a couple of inches.
The other main difference is that the Huntmans have lovely solid blued steel breech blocks rather than the harriers alloy type.
There is alos a weight difference - the Huntsman is the heavier.

As far as I know (i.e. nothing) the Harrier is more or less a carbine version of the Huntsman.
I’ve got a wanted running for a 0.177 AMBI Harrier or Huntsman at the moment. Apart from examples that are now redundant FT guns they don’t seem to come up for sale often and I don’t think I have ever seen an advert for part needed to fix one.

I own a Huntsman MK2 which turned out to be one of only six made in the Daystate factory with a FT stock which is a piece of woodwork. It has been converted to 6 ft lbs with open sights and is very consistent, getting over 200 shots out. Lovely to shoot.
Air Wolf, MCT, RWS 500, Daystate Mk3 Bullpup, Huntsman Mk2 Target Rifle, PH6, Anchutz, 7.62 Kongsberg, 7.92 Yugo Mauser and .22 Mauser.
thats it! memory refreshed!
It was the steel block of the huntsman I was unsure of.
And longer and shinier - yep it all comes back to me now!
Sounds like a nice gun Sam..
Thanks..

Hunstmans are seriously tough, if you were out hunting and cam across a rampaging rhino (not unheard of in parts of Staffordshire) you could beat the bugger to death with it, and then carry on shooting afterwards.
Harriers are nice, but they just don't make 'em like they used to.
I play a Fender bass, I shoot a springer. I like things to be, well, dependable
The Staffs rampaging rhinos - I remember them well!
And did you ever see skippy? Up in the parks?
