Dunno about oop north but Staffordshire Custom Rifles are always said to be the best, dunno about prices but if you rang Dave would let you know.
Have a Daystate Mk4 (non "TV" screen model !!). Could do with a service. Has started scattering shots on a target even when bench rested.
Aware only certain places, apart from Daystate, where they can service these guns. Would appreciate contact info for a company located "up north". Nearer Co. Durham the better of course who could carry out a service.
What is the likely cost ???.
Thanks

It's all relative; to me, Darlington is many hours South.
It’s a trek, but Pickering Guns would do it
may not need a service,could be other factors causing inaccuracy
Livelines in Armadale is the most local to us up in Aberdeen/shire I think .

any dealer who is a daystate premier partner on their dealer map will have the staff and equipment to service and if needs be re-map these rifles
Chrono the rifle-if its consistent then look at the barrel / probe alignment and if a silencer or aftermarket muzzle is fitted, check that pellet clipping is not the issue.
Check probe seals-these can fail with age / use / leaving the gun stored with the bolt closed (which I never do on a PCP).
Dave Brayford at SCR is the go-to-guy these days, although I am sure your local dedicated air rifle club will have someone handy as a member.
Never go off half cocked....
All lies matter
Another vote from me for Dave @SCR, he's a top bloke and did a fantastic job for a very reasonable price when my Mk3 needed servicing.
Friend had the same problem at the range and another shooter suggested changing the probe seal....and it was instantly a tac driver.....bloody tiny o ring made a £1000 rifle shoot like a gat
Thanks for the helpful responses. Much appreciated.
The gun is 0.20 calibre. Will the probe O-ring be calibre specific or will the probe O-ring for 0.22 calibre fit.
O-rings readily available on bay.
Thanks

Fitted a new probe O-ring. No better.
Worse still when I tried to fill it up it began leaking air at around 150 Barg. Appears to be coming from a point where barrel meets the action. Loses pressure quite quickly.
Thought I would take it to Customguns at Hartlepool. However it would appear that he stopped accepting work in September. Showing "permanently closed" on internet.
Anyone any further thoughts or is it a hefty bill coming my way.
Thanks

sounds like your harper valve seal may be knackered, the harper valve is a doddle to work on as its an open design, if seal was inconsistent that may also explain the scattering of shots, did you check the Map to find a premier partner near you?
