'1 tried and tested calibre'- now I wonder which one that would be?
The 3 rifles feel quite different when you handle them, which you prefer is personal taste, I'd also include the AA S510 with the sidelever rather than the bolt of the 410 but again that's personal taste.
Yes 1.77 cal technology an me dont seem to get on????
It seems that the order of play is the Hw or Air arms..
I to have read some mixed reviews about the Daystate, but wanted to hear it from someone who's had the use of one..
Well its narrowed it down to 2, and these 2 were the ones that stood out,,,, But over all, the HW 100 has the better feedback from you gentlmen..
Ill have to keep an eye out for either rifles as a package or rifle only. I have a decent scope i could put on, so Rifle and Buddy bottle search begins!!!!!!
Thank you all again
Get the S410 by far the most reliable pcp the HW100 is a great airgun but it can unreliable and the daystate is not as good as either the AA or the HW.
Dave.
Thank you for the info. I do like the stock on the AA compared to the Hw but the reliability and accuracy is my main ask!
The search begins!!
Thanks again
To be fair 1.77 inch calibre (45mm) is usually reserved for anti tank use, what the are you hunting? Tigers? Panzers?

Daystate Huntsman is a name that has been applied to many guns, if you are referring to the Regal, that really exposed the flaws in Daystate QC with many horribly assembled bits of machinery being inflicted on buyers. Way underpowered was a common complaint, leading many to assume that testing the power was either done after a liquid lunch or by Eli from Last of The Summer Wine.
When the guns were returned to Daystate for repair under warranty they were sent back at the same power, lower power or at the right power (but sometimes with a new problem, like an inability to hold air). Guns were spending longer in transit or back at the factory than they were with their rightly jaded owners, some of whom gave up on the ability of Daystate to fix it and used people like Airtech to sort it.
There is also another problem with Daystate, the pellets fall out of the magazine during cocking and into the mechanism, leading to an inability to fire the gun. People will spout gonads about replacing the o ring on the magazine, but it still happens and it is something you have to watch out for. Cock the gun with the barrel pointing downwards and you are safe, which is a pain when roost shooting.
If this is currently true I could not say, but trawling this and most airgun forums will find many tales of woe about the Regal.
Out of your list the one I have got one with best was the HW100, but my last had to go back due to a stock by Wolverine. HC would not let the dealer have another stock, the whole gun had to go back, stupid I know, but they did replace the woodwork...
