Richard Saunders – Hunting Consultant

Whilst the country is on lock down, opportunities to get out in the field have been put on hold. Daystate hunting consultant Richard Saunders has been going back through his shooting diary and recalling some memorable recent trips. We thought we’d share a few with you, and by all means feel free to tell us about your hunting trips too.

I spent this evening after rabbits on a permission in the village only a few minutes down the lane. While I was lying in the grass, waiting in ambush, it occurred to me that I was being like one of those anteaters you see on the telly.

I should explain.

I have three Daystate rifles! What has kept me with Daystate is that they do look after the L/H er and produce lightweight rifles with supreme accuracy. They use pellets from the tin, with no weighing or special pellet selection.

Another great video. I got into the hobby during lockdown. My first gun was the Varmint version of the RM8 UC, which was a very good starting point. By coincidence, I recently upgraded to the Daystate Huntsman Revere Safari! While the RM8 was good, the Daystate is just so much better, demonstrating that sometimes you really do get what you pay for! I, too, use QYS domed and also get fantastic accuracy. I don't think I will ever need to buy another air rifle!

"I’m very proud to own my Daystate Red Wolf Midnight after many hours/ weeks of looking, including research into Daystate, and it is amazing. I know for sure that a guy at the club loves it and wants one. After letting him have a few shots at my club, he is going to get one. He had a FX impact, but he has now sold it to get a Daystate. I love the Daystate Red Wolf and wouldn’t get anything else"

"Hello, I have been shooting air rifles all my life, ever since I was 12 years and I am 55 years old now. I have always wanted A Daystate but was a little afraid of an electric gun. I have put around ten tins of pellets and slugs through it, and this gun (Alpha Wolf HP) is amazing. I have the FX Mark 1,2, and 3 great guns, but this gun is like nothing I have ever had. I love it. The build quality is awesome. I have the new safari stock and love it. The next Daystate will be the Red Wolf, but I have to save up more before purchasing it. AOA is a great store to deal with. Their sales and service are awesome. thank you for fulfilling a life dream. What a great gun."

"I can't believe I finally have this amazing rifle in my hands. The Red Wolf is a thing of beauty that performs just as well as it looks, as consistent and accurate as you could ever wish for, together with an amazing shot count. I look forward to years of fun with the Red Wolf and feel privileged to own such a beauty."
