    It is the non "is" version. Didn't realise this one still had electrickery, that is a bit of a put off.

    Having had four or five daystates they all had problems from new two of which had to go back under warranty as they were not fit for purpose, the thought of a second hand all be it like new one with electronics to add to the mix just really doesn't appeal.

    They're usually very reliable as long as you charge the battery once a month whether you use it or not. The problems arise if you let the battery dip to below 2 volts, this is when they won't recharge without over heating. A new battery is around £40.00.

    Fair enough, they are not for everyone, and if your uncomfortable with it your right to leave it - but perhaps ask him if you can borrow it for a bit to try it out?

    If you can get it for the right price give it a go as the re-sale should not be a problem if it is not for you.
    I have an early i.s. In .177 and have had it for five years with no issues. It may need a service soon and that is expensive. For me the shot count, trigger and accuracy are excellent.

    Not sure why people are put off by the electronics. The trigger take some getting used to as it's really just a switch.

    Daystate had a stand at the Phoenix show a few years back with one of these Mk4 mechanisms dry firing under a cascade of water to prove they're waterproof.

    Never had an issue with mine, it's worked flawlessly every time I've used it.... Except that one time I forgot to Recharge the battery
