Regal With Xtx Reg

[villaman 9,983]

 

pianoman has had his regal done if my memory serves me right

 

once he see,s this thread he will let you no

 

and as for your lass just tell her you found it laying up against a tree when you were out shooting

 

Then the next one you buy tell her you chased some poachers and one dropped his rifle

 

worked for me up to ten rifles later lol

Not yet Mac, XTX Air are tied up with a backlog of work. Once it gets clear later in the year, I'll be having the service/regulator work done. Nothing wrong with the Regal's accuracy it's absolutely beautiful. But a really good reg is what it needs to sort out the silly power curve. I reckon it will make this a really stunning performance rifle.

 

 

Have a word with Carl at airtech i have just had a cylinder and a carbon fiber shroud done ,

I had a talk to Carl about a reg for the regal about two weeks ago and he came out with some interesting stuff about daystate guns

That's what I think pianoman. Once the issue is sorted it will take some beating

But the regal should of been like that from the beginning ,How many other guns at that price have no reg ?

You are right Mitch. Any air rifle of this price point must be better set-up than this does off the peg-out of the box. I've said this time and again, but, Daystate had a really wonderful opportunity to build a world-class air rifle that was affordable to most working wage-packets. But they've seriously cocked it up with sending out, under-powered and under-manufactured. examples. Word of mouth is a powerful thing. Especially through social media like forums!

 

After a couple of years of owning and shooting mine, I have to say, it is a superb hunting companion, now I have the silly power-curve understood. I really love shooting with my Regal A quality-made regulator would have made this a genuine supergun. and that's the tragedy of this particular rifle's story. It annoys the hell out of my how good this rifle should be, could be, for want of a hundred quid's worth of reg!

 

DAYSTATE, you are bloody incomprehensibly stupid. You had a world class air rifle design on your hands, but, oh no, you had to play "How Cheap can we make this for??" Typically British bloody useless thinking.

 

You can't make a delicious Shepherd's Pie, with dogmeat!

Couldn't agree more pianoman. I'd been lusting after a Daystate since I was a teen and finally got one to have this disappointment. It's far from acceptable

Andy all it is is daystate both Simon (pianoman) and Mitch (villaman) bought there rifles new and were both well under powered and had to be sent back to Daystate not some thing you want when you have handed over £800 plus for some thing that should be spot on in the first place .

 

With VM i think it was the after sales service there attitude on the phone was more or less its your fault and we want x number of ££££ to put it right .

 

There like RANGE ROVERS every one wants one but its the build quality that puts them off

 

I should no iv had one lol

 

There again there is one that comes along and you have no bother with it at all

 

take David Evans ,s wolf its one of the best rifles iv ever had the pleasure to shoot and when i go to his ill not be taking any rifles down with me as ill be taking out the wolf whether he likes it or not lol

 

and as for the wood they use well just speaks for its self so if they can pick the best wood to use on the rifles why the hell do they not pick the best reg it baffles me

I think everybody would ,what a fantastic gun that would be

[andykllhr 91]

The thing is, I took the Regal out on Sunday (just target work), charged it to the sweet spot (180 bar), was getting pellet on pellet at 35 yards. It's such a joy to shoot when it's spot on, I am hoping the service and reg will mitigate those "off" days it has. There are times when the zero is way off, I can only think that these times are when it's off the power curve or when the shroud clips, but I don't want to have to worry about those things, I want to pick it up, quick zero and off I go. My confidence has been shaken with the Regal, I want so much to love it, and will when I'm confident with it.

I think a lot of Regal owners will be with you on that point .

I so much wanted to like this gun ,in the end had no confidence after one problem after another , but like i said if I can get another one cheap then i will and spend some money getting it how it should of been for a £800 gun !!

[andykllhr 91]

totally agree, so once sorted it will be £920

Totally agree, once sorted it will have cost me £920, but when sorted, it will be one hell of a gun

Is it right that Daystate are now part of the RWS Group? Is there fall off of quality since then?

Sometimes happens when companies become part of a larger company, though you would expect the reverse.

Daystates quality has been going downhill over a number of years now. the same as bsa. there quality is bad. the thing i do not understand is if they are going to make a rifle why not make it correct in the first place. years ago if you bought a bsa rifle you would hand it down to your son he would do the same and it just kept working. then bowket came along. if you buy a bsa pcp rifle now it has to go back to bowket for a blue print. and the rifle isnt a week old.bowket says its because bsa didnt make the rifle how he designed it. so what happened to the bsa S10 ? the hornet ? the scorpion ? the ultra ? the R10 ? and now the goldstar ? or is it the fact once payed by bsa for the designe thats the end of any more pay cheques. unles you designe a fault that way you will keep getting the rifles back to be but right. in my opinion after spending £700 plus on a rifle it should be right in the first place.
