Huntsman Revere.

Eyup chaps.

After a 5 year break from airguns and shooting in general, i've decided to get back into it. Looking into getting myself a Revere atm.

I was looking at the pro combo kit from the airgun centre and was wanting to know if its a decent kit? Seems reasonable for the price.

It comes with a MTC mamba lite, but i notice the AGC doesn't sell this scope. Is this a kit put together by Daystate themselves?

Was also looking at the R10 SE. Any thoughts on either of these rifles would be welcome.

Cheers.

I have a Regal (similar to a Revere).22 FAC , and BSA R10 se .22 FAC.

They are both very very accurate rifles. The Regal is lighter, but that's where any advantage stops.

The R10 is regulated, has a 'slicker' bolt, as in just as smooth without the excess travel of the DS bolt.
But the REVERE, has a side lever, so probably just as slick.

The BSA Magazines fit in completely under the scope rail, unlike the DS. They are just as robust and easier to load.
This also means you can use low scope mounts , on the BSA.
The BSA Also comes with a silencer and shroud. And two ten shot magazines.

The Regal is a gorgeous looking rifle, the stock is a work of art. The R10 Stock is also lovely looking piece of wood.

My favorite is the BSA , it really is a 'class act' .

The Revere is regulated with the Huma reg. 140 shots in .177, not bad at all.

The mag height was my only niggle with it. After a little research though i found that you can still fit medium mounts,

I'm getting the Revere in combo form, so comes with everything.

I do like the look of the R10. I just like the Revere better

They have the Huma reg fitted as standard. As do the Huntsman Regals now.

I must have missed the reg bit on their website, certainly one to consider then.

I have a regal which got regged (lets not go there though) and like the sidelever operation on my HW100KT so might have to look at one of these

The Huntsman is the only rifle I would consider buying out of the whole Daystate Brocock range. In my opinion, it is the best of the lot and can keep up, accuracy wise, with the more expensive rifles in the right hands. ATB Ken.

I am going to give the revere a spin, does anyone know if a connectamount with attached viper connect 32 will clear the slightly higher new magazine?

Might not be pretty but hey ho

I read somewhere that the height from the dovetail to the top of the mag is 17mm.
