28hodge 0 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Picked it a Daystate Huntsman MK2 S/S 177 on friday, been looking at a scorpion T10 with bottle guage and everything you could want/need, but it was just a touch to rich for me, good deal but more than i had to spend really, so when this popped up on thurday night i was sold really. Rifle, scope, slip, a LOT of pellets, and a bottle and guage, under what i had to spend! real happy, even more so when i got to hold the rifle, never had much to do with Daystate not a fan of electronics in rifles, just something else to go wrong IMO. but got to say it is nice to hold and all the chequering on the fore end and pistol grip is still good and sharp, so i doubt this rifle has done all that much. But like i say not had all that much to do with Daystates, or 177's actually, so can people give me a rough guide to the rifle, what they think of it and any real first hand experiance of the huntsman mk2. mine is a 2001 made rifle according to daystates website. Ive had a search but can only find info on the Daystate huntsman classic. I'll get some pics up later for you to have a looksie at! Quote Link to post

28hodge 0 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) what happend last night ???? Never got out till gone 7.30 so only put bout 20/30 pellets through it max at a post at 35/40yrds touch, didnt think it was worth your while coming through to be honest for a little over 30mins plinking, it was shooting high believe it or not out at 35!! which i found odd, what you reckon? oh and off to the left but this may of been me being a lil rusty. its nice tho but them 177 pellets are a bit fiddly. Though the loading aint as bad as i was expecting so i may live with it! Edited March 28, 2011 by 28hodge Quote Link to post

28hodge 0 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 hmmm surely when you balls an get caught before spotting it yourself you have to leave it and not edit it!!! been off here all aft and have no idea what you ballsed up, im also unsure how you can balls up such a simple sentenance??!?! Anyway yeah Sat should be ok, tho Fri may be better, need to speak to you about squirrels too, no rabbits on the new permission in wales, tho lots of squirrels, summat ive not shot before.

28hodge 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Also we cant go next Sat can we numb nuts, we are going to Airkix arent we?!??!? Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Spread some peanut butter for squirrels, they are a bushy tailed tree rat after all, hazelnuts they can just take, peanut butter they have to eat up! Value stuff is ok! I know, I used to use it for photographing the things. Edited March 29, 2011 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post
