Good looking bit of kit; but £2K, wtf !

[junglie]

Bllerggah! nearly choked on me tea there, £1800-2000 for that fugly thing! it wants to have a built in retreiver drone for that price!

2 grand? I reckon I'd rather have a Steyr / Walther.

[angrybear]

For that money I'd expect them to work out moving the cocking lever along to where your hand is....or is that the mk6

[hermun]

I think my 12ftlb Wolverine is the best thing since sliced bread. But I can quite confidently and categorically say I would never pay twice as much for a runt gun like that.

looks like a piss poor bundle of bits, too much plastic ! and that god-dammed awful scope rail wtf....

cant see that shipping out to users in bucket loads, give it 6 months they be doing a price drop. Big Time to move unsold units.

Jesus that looks horrible,not my cup of tea at all,and for that money nooooo way!!

The most expensive nerf gun ever

I'm very fond of Bullpup designs but that's a lot of money for a sub 12 ft lb airgun!!

I'm unsure who the target population for that particular model is but they'll have to have a healthy bank balance so I'm guessing it's aimed more at the US market....

If the cropped pics in the first post are genuine, then that built-in spirit level (unless it's removable?) would even render the rifle ineligible for HFT competitions (unless the rules these days permit their use?).

Someone needs to have a quiet word..

What's going on with the Daystate designers at the moment? First the silly, plastic incarnation of what turned out to be a sub 12fpe Wolverine and now this frankenstein of a rifle.

The last two rifles just seem a rush job to me and it's laughable that they use almost the same stock from the airwolf/ranger, cover the end in plastic and try to use it as a selling point because you have an option of a cylinder or bottle!

For me Daystate need to take a strong, hard look at FX to see how it's done. I'm sure they can do better than that, deary me.

That says it all, right on the nail.
Spud gun, one step up from airsoft. Nearly £2000!!!
Oh well, someone will be daft enough I suppose - - - -

[Two200's]

I would imagine the scope centre above bore line measurement has immediately given anybody who is HFT positive - a case of the floppies.

[Lavant_Lad]

Looks horrible, I would never buy one even at 1/2 the price. Big mistake IMHO.

[chris.allum]

Oh no..no no no no


That will be this yank ted twisting Mr Bs ear ...... Target market US .... No doubt


Yuck , plastic NOT fantastic !

[Paul SE]

....expensive, and the scope rail looks out of place.

I'd like to see Daystate bring out a lightweight sporter with a black (tactical ) stock, that is cheaper than their current models.

The Huntsman are nice rifles, (subject to reported sticky bolts), but a 'tactical' (plastic) stock and dull finish to the metalwork would be more practical - well for me anyway
