Daystate Air Ranger

[stevesel 18]

Ive been offered a daystste air ranger with a Hawke sidewinder 30. 4.5/14x42 scope,logun silencer and the remainder of the only tin of pellets that he has put through it.

He is having problems with his wife and is now on the road,hence the need to sell this rifle,it is about 5 weeks from new and absolutely mint.

What are these rifles like to use?

How much is it worth, ive added up roughly the price of the gear new and it retails at around 1250.

There is no case as his dragon wont let him near the place at the moment,He asked me 750, is this a bit steep?

Hello Steve

 

I have one in .177! its a cracking bit of kit and pretty accurate as most of these pre charges are, I can't honest say just because its a Daystate its a better gun than most as I don't beleive it is, with a decent Pellet and the gun zeroed you can certainly put Pellet on Pellet at some silly distances....

 

One thing that I don't like is the weight! mine with the scope shades a tad over 10LB, its a fair lump to shoot freehand but get one resting on a bypod taking bunnies and lifes a doddle!! one of the many plus's is I get a tad over 230 shots out of this rifle on a 170BAR fill, its funny as not all Daystates come with the same working pressure!! Guns are tested individualy and stamped on the Barrel/Shroud with the working presure that suits the gun, mine tops out at 170Bar and runs down to about 90, I'll get alot more fills out of my divers tank than say someone with a gun that needs 200BAR for say 120 shots....

 

If I was you I would seriously consider it pal! How old is the gun? you can always ring Daystate with the serial number and they will give you the build date!! the later rifle's like this one here was fitted with a Harper Valve which is very consistant shot to shot plus a few more shots per tank....

 

Anyway let us know how you get on

He has dropped the gun off and the silencer is a QGS 2 not a logun(unless qgs is logun)its a 400cc bottle and the barrel is stamped 180 bar. Where would i find the serial number,he assures me its 5 weeks old but id like to check.

Ive fired it with the silencer and its unbelievably quiet.

He now says 700 will buy it.

I wish i could afford it but im going to pass as my motor has failed the mot again.

Phoned daystste for a build date and it left the factory late nov 09. I explained that i was not the original purchaser and did not have any paperwork and the lady says daystate will honour the 3 year warranty anyway.

Its a 22 by the way
