The only niggle iv got is ill have to let my hw100 go and put the silver and nickel rifle on hold

 

but as some of you know i hated the hw100 at first and id only had it a few days and as for the hw100kt only a few hours before i let that go but this sporter well i know its in first class condition and spot on i jell,d with her

 

she is like part of me an extension of my arm really i know before i squeeze the trigger if the target is in the bag

 

the only other rifle that i was like that with was the raider

 

yes i have the use of the hw100s carbine but its not mine well part mine but its the bairns

 

If i thought the wolf that i was going to get was like Davids which is spot on and one of the best then i would not hesitate

 

but i think some time to ponder over this is in order

 

iv all ready got one of the best do i really need another and i would have to sell the hw100s to fund the wolf

 

and im not sure i want to let her go

 

David you have seen the hw100s in action and know more than any one what she is capable of

 

Time to sit back and put the gears into action and put my thinking cap on

nice shooting si . what other pellet you tried in hw100 .22

cheers toby

I've tried all sorts in all sorts of head sizes too!

all like shotgun patterns, the domes are that good that i bought a ,177 hoping id get the same accuracy with a wider choice of pellets but that was sh!te too and got recalled!!

the domes will knock rabbits down all day at 60m i wouldn't dream of doing that if i wasn't 100% sure of the performance!

so I've done with the 100s, when the 177 gets back its financing a s510 ultimate sporter

Sometimes I think we all are looking for the holy grail and when we think we have found it , well you know the rest !!

[philpot 5,005]

Extremely well put Mitch. It is the same with cars, we buy a car and it has faults, before we know where we are, that car would never darken the drive again. I feel this way about some cars which is unfair as many people own them and love them.

I think it is fair to say however that Daystate do not seem to care about their customers and the money invested in a product which is very poor and that is out of order. I would love one of these guns but I cannot afford one but even if I could, I would be nervous about buying one UNLESS a second hand one came up whose history I actually knew or of course if cheap enough, send it to Carl to make it right.

 

I really hope your love affair continues Si as she is a pretty little thing.

your right phil... a bad experience live vm had is unfortunate and like you said its not a cheap riffle !

there customer service may be sh!te but hopefully ill never find out...

i chopped the 110 in and also got it quite a bit cheaper than retail price so i didn't have to put much in!!

id maybe of felt different if i was paying the full amount in one hit but as it is its really nice and i can't see the need for any tuning,

i think its more the regals but i could be wrong as I've never followed any of the topics!!

I've had sh!te look with hw pcps but I've not called them crap and slagged them cos a lot of you lads have good ones, just how it is

so.. is it worth the money ?!

id say so but thats just MY opinion

Not many have a bad word for the HW100 format , although you do get your haters for them , part of life . daystate guns do have big problems and it not just the regal

It's the easiest thing to pick fault in anything but when you get treated like a c**t from daystate then they are asking to get slated , just have a look on different forums and see how many shooters of daystate guns slag them off .

I would have another daystate tomorrow but daystate need to change big time like there QC , customer care , and started installing regs in stead of the mickey mouse Harper slingshot valve the money you pay for them ,you should be getting a top gun ,with the right components in .

I know you love yours and hope it stays that way and the way it shoots i can't see you having any problems , as most problems start straight from the box

This is my opinion and many other too

[stealthy1 3,964]

When I asked my local gun shop about a Daystate, he said he wouldn't order me one, because if it went wrong, Daystate were a bitch to deal with, and he didn't want to fall out with me just because I would have taken it out on him. So I bought a 100 instead, had it years and still no problems, and mine is the first of the bayonet filling cylinders to come out, before all the other companies copied it. Ask at your local gun shop Mac, if they think they can sort any problems with Daystate, then give one a go.

Interestingly Stealthy, my local RFD has reached a similar decision after battling with Daystate over a gun which, if I remember correctly, only left the shop a few days earlier and Daystate didn't find fault on their behalf. This went on for weeks.

 

One thing I don't understand, why would a successful English company, capable of high standing in both UK and worldwide markets, be prepared to loose everything by poor QC and p1ss off most of the customers who have spent hard earned cash and a lot of it, to the point, like Mitch and many others, that they will never buy from that company again. There is simply no logical business sense in the way Daystate conduct themselves to both their dealers nor end users and that is a tragic shame.

Are Daystate worse since they were taken over by a foreign corporation or is it business as usual?

[villaman 9,983]

No worse

[bigmac 97kt 13,800]

Here,s the way im looking at it

 

VM,,,daystate regal few days old ,,,sent back to daystate after a lot of hassle say,d it was his fault (brand new)

 

Pianoman,,,,daystate regal not sent back but had to get a new make over (brand new)

 

lad at the range ,,,daystate bull pup cost over£2000+ three hours old sent back to daystate say,d it was his fault (brand new)

 

and countless others

 

this has been going around in my mind for the last few days i work hard for my money bloody hard

 

ME IM KEEPING THE HW100S IN MY OPINION THE BEST RIFLE MONEY CAN BUY FULL STOP

 

SMK,,,GAMO,,,AND ALL THE OTHER CHEEP AIR RIFLE MAKERS MAKE A BETTER RIFLE THAN ANY DAY STATE

 

IMO
