    I have a ranger and love the gun, I would pick it over the others only on the basis of being able to adjust the power very easy if needed. I have been picking up some bits to make mine power adjustable,

    I've also had the air wolf and i do like the triggers on the electric Daystates,

    Had a regulated Ranger and sold it to get the Wolverine B. I really wish I'd kept the ranger.

    Those early regulated Rangers were great, cannot understand why Daystate stopped fitting that excellent reg and went over to the Harper valve, well I can it was cost.

    Either gun is a superb shooter but if looking at 2nd hand many rangers are now around bottle replacement age so factor that in when pricing them up, chap i know bought a mint looking gun then go told during a service his bottle will expire in 4 months....

    Sorry this isn't right.Small buddy bottles are not subject to test.

    The carbon fibre bottles are different and do have a finite life as you say. In the real world however I'm not certain what this means as you don't actually take them in to a dive shop for filling so any rule could be ignored by the owner. The bigger carbon fibre tanks I understand have to be junked as most of us don't have our own compressors so we have to get them filled and tested.The real hazard is when you condsider how many rusty rifle tubes are out there on older rifles with no checks made on them whatsoever.

    The Ranger has served me well but I haven't shot the wolverine although I can't see there being to much difference, I would imagine though you would pick up a ranger cheaper than a wolverine which is a bonus
