New toy? HW100tk laminate vs Wolverine 2 Type C

[rgc_swanseaARC]

Hi all,

I have my TTR1, and it’s great bit of kit, but, it’s sad to say, I think I’m getting a little “bored” with it.
I know I should just be greatful that I have it and that I could never get/make another one, but I have a hankering for a new toy.

I’ve had a hw100tk previously and it was fantastic, so I know what I am getting with one of those, but have never had a daystate.

I like the look of the new wolverine c type, but truthfully don’t know much about them.

Any pros, cons of the HW100tk laminate over the wolverine and vice versa I should be aware of before I possibly spend the cash?

Thanks,
Rhys

HW100kt any day of the week ,regged , two fourteen shot mags and comes with one of the best mods if not the best and probable the best PCP ever made
Daystate over priced ,over rated IMO

It makes me wonder why the secondhand market is flooded with HW100 if they are as good as people make out. I own one and have never got away with it. Stock looks as if it was designed by the same guy who designed scaffold planks. I have Daystate, Rapid, Impact, Webley, BSA, Falcon, Career, Parker Hale and RWS PCP's and the HW is one of my least favourite rifles

I reckon many buy rifles on a whim & on the knock too. then either get fed up or cant afford repayments.
To buy privately one needs folding £s, but gunshops do easy credit

Ive had the C & B type both did the job, one went bach for a new barrel & was under power
A good looking Rifle that is back to base to fix
Get the sterile HW, that works from the box & the fibbers @ DS arnt involved in its manufacture

I had a HW100k laminate but couldnt get the accuracy that I could with my Regal/Ultimate sporter/Rapid. Very pellet fussy, very poor with JSB, and it didnt have the dodgy barrel.
If you do buy a new one I think you will find Neath gun shop the cheapest, mine was £755.

I owned a daystate regal for 6 weeks and daystate had it 4 weeks out of the six , worst gun i owned ,shot like a shotgun , rattled , no mod , one mag and not very good at that , no reg , coating coming off the shroud and trigger guard , action loud and had to be careful shooting at a angle . All this for £808 ,over priced crap

I have a HW100 and a Daystate Mk4is.

I have persevered with the HW100, there is something about it that makes me keep it, can’t put my finger on what it is though. It’s now back with Hull Cartridge to have a warranty repair done and investigate why the silencer opens up the grouping.

Whereas the Daystate felt right from the first time I looked at it; it fits me, the action is so smooth, the trigger is 2nd only to my FTP900 and the accuracy/grouping is better than I get with the HW100. An odd thing to say maybe, but the open grain in stock keeps catching facial hair (when I mention this others have experienced similar).

In fact I rate my S400 higher than the HW100.

Guns are about how you engage with them, so while this is my view I’m sure others have different opinions.

These are both high cost rifles, try to have a good session with each before making your decision.

I'd echo this, especially the bits about engagement and trying it out rather than just getting peoples opinions if possible.

I've had both guns and a whole lot more, I found the HW "uninspiring" with a poor trigger I could never adjust away and the low shot count was more of an annoyance than an issue. It shot "ok", but at least was light, compact and relatively cheap, so I would not have worried about it in the field - not that I ever go there!

The Wolverine was a bit of a marmite gun initially to me, but it's looks grew on me and it was trouble free for the time I had it with good accuracy and shot count. My wife still has her Regal, it's more the competitor for an HW100TK I would have thought, and hers is a cracker, her shooting is close behind mine with guns at 2x the price. She got it from new and had an issue out of the box which was repaired under warranty within a week and it's been fine for the past 4 years never missing a beat. I have to admit to liking Daystate guns, but I'll also call it as I see it, they should have better QC out of the factory, but most on the 2nd hand market are sorted and very good guns.
