    Ordinary batteries that are easy to buy.

    A flipping mag which reliably indexes past number 6 might be nice!
    Dance like no one is watching.
    Sing like no one can hear.
    Scratch yourself like you think the zoom meeting has ended.

    Perhaps not. They've been doing electronic rifles for ages, so will have got the developement time down and manufacturing cost down. The actual components in the electronics/solenoid are cheap, like all electronics. They moved the cost of the battery to the owner by going to AA's, more savings.
    A plastic composite plastic/laminate stock could well be cheaper than a pretty lump of walnut.
    The action may be based on something else.

    If they sold these at £799 they'd fly out the shops, at 1000-1300 they'd just sit there along with all the other Daystate models. I think they have far too many rifles at around the same price, time for Daystate to tap new markets.

    Dont believe me? When the 303 wolverine came out at the shot show, I spoke to one of the workers there who I used to shoot with many moons ago. I was asked by him how much did I think it would be, I said £1300? I was informed that the .177 12ftlb version of the wolverine would be around £800, because it was cheaper to make than their current models. The price they actually released them at was the normal £1200-£1300, no doubt because they thought they could get it, perhaps from the pre launch feedback.
    Needless to say, I believe Daystates are over priced.

    All of my Daystate magazines (and the BSA magazines which they copied) reliably index past 6, in fact they index all the way from 1 to 10 (or from 10 to 1 if you count shots left rather than shots taken). Either yours is faulty or it needs dismantling and cleaning!

    By the way I have owned 3 Daystate magazines, one was for an X2 in .177 and 2 are for my Mk 3 again in .177!

    Sportsman Gun Centre are discounting the heck out of the Daystate Air Ranger.

    £1,140 reduced to £900 for the 12 ft-lb and an even bigger discount for the 0.22 40 ft-lb FAC version, £1,250 down to £900.
