Price guidance please - Original Daystate Huntsman early '90s

[andrewM]

I am thinking of selling my PCP, which is a Daystate Huntsman, which I purchased at the Game Fair around 1990/91. It is extremely accurate - hole on hole stuff. It has a Tasco 3-9 magnification plus a very efficient silencer. I have a manual.

I prefer springers, so this rifle is hardly ever used. It is a single shot - no magazine.

I should be grateful for price guidance.

What stock is fitted?, Does it have the swan neck cocking lever?.

Rob, it is an ambidextrous stock, with pistol grip. The wood is smooth - not indented.

Not sure what you mean by a 'swan neck cocking lever' but the rifle is cocked by a rounded head at the rear of the rifle, which is twisted to open and then retracted to allow the pellet to be inserted into the barrel. This mechanism is not what might be described as a 'mini-bolt' version, similar to the bolt on bullet rifle. It works well.

what he meens is they were fitted with a round nob to cock it, but i allways sent to daystate and bought a brass like swan neck cocking leaver it was to replace the round nob, i have had 2 of LR and supper accurit, i would think its worth about £300. atb bob.

Yes standard Huntsman came with a black knurled knob on the bolt and a beech stock, a deluxe version was available with brass swaneck on the bolt and walnut stock.

Is the the breech "block" cylindrical? I assume single stage trigger? Or has it got the two stage unit?

Is it all black?
