I don't know. I had to register to the new one but it was all over the shop. Iv sold my huntsman, I bought an mfr lol I would like to have both but funds don't allow.

I have a DS MK4 in .177 and a Huntsman in FAC .22 !

Personally I would go for the Daystate huntsman in sub 12 .177. Just my personal preference. 20 is a nice cal but you have to be able to get pellets and the choice isnt huge ! Nothing wrong with .177 for hunting, personally 95% of my shots are head shots on bunny and feathered quarry, occasionally a neck / spine shot on a pigeon or feral. Phil Hardman decoying pigeons over the last month has had 2 huge bags of 62 and 71 pigons and thats with a .177 so nothing wrong with that ! And last year on a cull job I did using a sub 12 .177 air rifle i had 51 rabbits one night all head shot and very dead to a .177 air arms pellet !

 

A .177 sub 12 Daystate huntsman with MTC scope and a Daystate silencer shooting domed pellets will make a great hunting setup that will be difficult to better without spening double !

Thanks for the replies lads

Went to see the gun on Saturday to get a 'hands on' feel of it.

All i can say is WOW what and B..E..A..Utiful piece of kit!

I was so impressed that i got the guy to order me one in .20 there and then.

Now for the dreaded wait for it to get to them

When will you get this Andy ? I really fancy a third Daystate but really not sure what yet ! But I recon the Mrs will cut my nuts off and use them as a door knocker when I tell her !
