£1500 too much IMO.
Just curious who would purchase this if they had the cash?, I like Daystate's but could not justify spending this kind of money when there are more reasonably priced rifles that perform just as well. Its over to the BBS collective for a yay or a nay.

I suppose it's like everything else that's high end, whether it's a watch, car or wine. The higher the price the lesser the difference in quality and value for money. It's way more than what I would ever want stood in a gun, dread to think what you would lose after a tin of pellets. If I was loaded yes I'd probably buy it along with an Aston, but as I'm not il stick with my cheapies!
personal opinion they are overpriced --not saying they might not be worth it but there are as good air guns at a lot lower price
it is hard to swallow when you think you could have a steyr h5 or lg110, fx crown royal wildcat or streamline, bsa anything or hw anything.... infact almost anything!! in a hand carved custom stock and still have change for other custom work for the same cash... mmmmmm., no thanks, I think daystate have priced themselves out this time.
id rather a £1500 gun.., £500 custom stock & a £500 bit of glass for the same money thanks.

I wonder how much these limited runs hold their value and are they an investment maybe?.

I think it looks ugly as myself.
As already mentioned - value is perceived - many of us have cars/bikes/gun collections others would gaup at - but if it brings you pleasure and does not harm others then fair play to you if you can afford it.
I didn't buy one, and I think the non LE versions which are £500 cheaper will be every bit as good, and to me are prettier.
And lets face it - looks are not everything, but most of us don't want an ugly one. LOL

Making a mockery of growing old gracefully since I retired
I would have purchased the original titanium daystate (can't remember the model CRM?) for £2500 in a heartbeat in 2003 if id had the money.
Given they now trade for £35K+ since so few exist it would have been a sensible buy.
I guess much could depend on your disposable income. If the rifle cost is a minute fraction of disposable income then I can see a situation where cost would not matter to the purchaser and a purchase could be made without a second thought. As disposable income declines then cost becomes a more serious consideration to be balanced against the level of that income i.e. can you afford it, and the desire of ownership. As income declines further still there is a point when purchase becomes impossible without serious implications on every day lifestyle. Of course the borderlines can get blurred and at times I expect that the 'rosy glow' of a new expensive rifle can cloud other considerations. So, in the end it all boils down to your personal circumstances and take on the hobby / sport you love.
If you can afford it and want one ... why not? It's your choice.
Me? Spend £2K on a rifle? No.
Cheers, Phil
It's a vanity piece, to be sold to some one will lots of money and nothing better to do with it.

It's a collectors investment not an airgun for real world use so the price reflects that, not for me.
