The NEW 0dB Silencer range

The 0dB Silencer range The 0dB performs as impressively as its look suggests.

Externally, stylish flutes work to diffuse reflections while, internally, a specially developed baffle and mesh system dissipates both noise and air turbulence. This ensures the pellet not only exits a 0dB Silencer with a barely audible report but it begins its downrange journey in the calmest air possible. Available in two lengths, three colour options and calibre-specific versions.

SHORT LONG
LENGTH 110mm (4 ½ ”) 160mm (6 ¼ ”)
Outside Diameter 32mm (1 ¼ ”) 32mm (1 ¼ ”)
WEIGHT 108g (3.8oz) 147g (5.2oz)
COLOURS BLACK/SAND/BLUE/RED BLACK/SAND/BLUE/RED/SILVER

Daystate shooters win big at EBR 2023

As the name suggests, Extreme Bench Rest – EBR – is an event that pushes the limits normally expected of both airgun and shooter. It’s a target discipline for the finest marksmen and women from around the globe, where precision is the watchword and the prize pots amongst the biggest in the sport!

Shot over four days at distances covering up to 100 yards, this year’s EBR Championship took place in Arizona, US – and the final results affirm across the board why Daystate rifles remain the choice of the world’s top shooters.

Daystate rifles took wins in every single category, with reigning 75-yard EBR Champ, Fady Kiwan, steering his Alpha-stocked Delta Wolf to victory with an all-time record score of 486, which included no fewer than 22 10-Xs (the ultimate bullseye that can be achieved)! Impressive stuff, though hardly surprising since he also won the World Benchrest Championships just a month ago! Fady is clearly more than happy with his Daystate’s performance. Unlike many shooters who use different hardware for different events at EBR, Fady chose to use his Delta Wolf across all the events he entered, for which he won another prize!

Proving that precision shooting can be matched with speed, Daystate’s Red Wolf was the rifle of choice for the top three placed shooters in the Pro Class Speed Silhouette – with Caleb Dickenson knocking all 20 targets down in just 48 seconds to claim the $3,000 prize 

Proving that precision shooting can be matched with speed, Daystate’s Red Wolf was the rifle of choice for the top three placed shooters in the Pro Class Speed Silhouette – with Caleb Dickinson knocking all 20 targets down in just 48 seconds to claim the $3,000 prize from last year’s winner, Tom Adams. Cindy Alexander also used a Red Wolf to win outright victory in the Sportsman Class of the Speed Silhouette.

A similar story unfurled in the Extreme Field Target event – with Red Wolf shooters taking 1st and 2nd places in Pro Class, and a 1st in Sniper Class.

DTD Adapter

The DTD works in conjunction with specially developed software, free to download from Daystate’s website. Once installed on a Windows PC, the DTD/software connects via the Delta Wolf’s USB port to provide an interface for keeping their rifle bang up to date with all the latest technologies that Daystate’s R&D teams develop not only now, but also in the future.

Primarily, the DTD’s User’s Interface currently allows Delta Wolf shooters to:

  • Check and update their rifle’s firmware to the latest factory releases
  • Convert from UK to FAC spec (with necessary licence and control-panel permission)
  • Calibrate the Delta Wolf’s touchscreen panel
  • Calibrate the rifle’s integral chronograph

The software interface is easy to understand and will be sufficient for most Delta Wolf owners. However, for those who like to tinker with their rifle’s set-up and who are a little more computer literate, the User Panel interface also allows for the existing factory computer coding tables to be modified and custom profiles created.

Due to different shooting laws around the world, certain software elements will be region restricted (for example power and magazine capacity). The latest Delta Wolf and User Panel interface software is free to download from daystate.com 

Delta Wolf shooters can monitor, update, and customise the electronic rifle’s computer programs via a USB link to a Windows PC with Daystate’s new Data Transfer Device (DTD) and specially developed software as well as adding the beautiful Alpha Wolf Stock  -for just another £100

In fact, this is Lauren’s THIRD Ladies World Field championship title and she has no intention of quitting any time soon!

The 11th annual Extreme Benchrest competition is over, and the results are in! As usual, Daystate was superbly represented by the Daystate Wolf Pack team.

The EBR is one of the world’s biggest and most prestigious airgun events in the annual calendar, taking place every October at the Rio Salado range just outside Phoenix Arizona USA. This huge competition draws top shooters from all over the globe over to shoot over the 4 days, where shooters compete in a multitude of different categories and classes, but there are two that we all watch for. The first and most important is the title match the Extreme Bench Rest competition that takes place at 50, then 75 and finally 100 yards. Another competition that stands out from the rest for sheer fun and excitement is the crowd’s favourite, the outdoor speed silhouette.

This year, a  Daystate ASP (Airgunners Support Pack) shooter Fadi Kiwan  all the way from Lebanon took top honours in the 75 yard competition, while champion in the speed silhouette was Tom Adams, a regular in these competitions as well as being regular winner in the speed shoot having also won in 2021! –

Hunter’s favourite adds a practical stock with target appeal for even more versatility.

The new Safari Edition Huntsman Revere incorporates Daystate’s tactile, raised-grain stock with height adjustable cheekpiece, increasing this classic model’s appeal both to hunters and target-minded shooters

Classic sporter looks, a sleek design and a lineage tracing back to Daystate’s inception over 40 years ago: the Huntsman series is iconic and has remained a firm favourite with field shooters the world over. The latest, Huma-Air regulated Revere sets performance levels good enough to entice precision-minded target shooters too, and this has led to the development of the new Safari Edition – a Huntsman offering added practicality and versatility for field and range shooters alike.

The Safari Edition features Daystate’s tactile, raised-grain wood stock. Ambidextrous and incorporating a lower-seated action that’s been a hallmark of the Huntsman’s design for years, the ‘high-grip’ advantages the textured Safari stock brings are further enhanced by stippled panels to the grip and forend. Combined with its natural camouflage look, it has all the perfect attributes for the field.

However, the Safari Edition’s stock has been subtly tweaked to also accommodate the needs of target shooters, without compromising the Revere’s inherent sporter feel. A rise-and-fall cheekpiece allows perfect eye alignment for both varmint and target-styled scopes – and its comb is finished in a soft-feel rubber for extreme comfort in all conditions and shooting disciplines.

The Safari stock’s forend has been shaped to suit all holds and disciplines, too, with a broader shape and flatter base to assist those preferring to shoot off a bench. Its weight-relieved construction will appeal to hunters with large permissions to trek across, though stud-points have been incorporated for those who want to fit a sling, bipod or other shooting aid. The scalloped butt is as practical as it is aesthetic, ensuring good balance in the shoulder for hunters, and making the ideal anchor if shooting off a benchrest or bean bag.

Action-wise, the Safari Edition keeps all the attributes that have made the Huntsman Revere Daystate’s biggest-selling rifle: a factory-installed Huma-Air regulator, sidelever cocking – user swappable for right- or left-hand use – that keeps cocking effort minimal even on the 40ft/lb model, self-indexing magazine with new loading gate (with a single-shot loading tray supplied for those who prefer to manually feed their pellets), probe-charging with integral rotary dust cover, shrouded match-grade barrel with threaded muzzle, adjustable two-stage trigger with manual safety catch and a tough, anti-glare metal finish.

Available in gun shops from the end of July 2022, the new Safari Edition of the Huntsman Revere melds sporting and target elements in perfect harmony. The classic Daystate that always offered perfect combination of performance, handling and style now just became even more versatile.

Terry gets an email from Daystate, asking him to test the brand-new Alpha Wolf

he email from Daystate’s Tony Belas simply stated that, ‘the new Alpha Wolf will be with you tomorrow, exactly three weeks before its official launch, and we’d like you to put as many pellets through it as your schedule allows. There will be a .22 barrel kit with it, plus a .22 magazine, and we’d like you to see for yourself how easy it is to swap calibres. All input welcome – give it some serious stick!’ 

Well, there’s a communication designed to brighten a gloomy Monday morning. So it was that I cleared a Wednesday window in my minor publishing executive schedule, and spent Tuesday with my ear cocked, listening for the delivery person’s arrival.The package was
delivered, mid-morning, and, consummate professional that I am, I dropped everything I was doing and headed straight for my club to shoot the Alpha Wolf for a couple of hours. I learned a great deal from that first session, and from many subsequent ones, but before I tell you what this remarkable new, all-electronic rifle is all about, I need to establish what it isn’t. 

Daystate’s Wolfpack gets a high-tech new leader

Daystate refuses to stand still when it comes to pushing the boundaries of airgun design. The British gunmaker set a new standard for adjustability when it launched the electronically tunable Delta Wolf two years ago. Resting on its laurels has never been a trait of this airgun giant, and further advances on the theme were inevitable. Those advances have now been unveiled in the shape of the Alpha Wolf – the latest addition to Daysate’s hi-tech digital pack.

Taking Stock

Before we delve into the Alpha Wolf’s electronic wizardry, let’s run through its exterior form and aesthetics, many features of which are just as impressive as its digital internals. One criticism levelled at the Delta Wolf (unfairly in my opinion, as you can only go so far with tactical styling) was that it didn’t look very different from other bullpup offerings. That most certainly is not the case with the Alpha Wolf, which is a real head-turner.

Rather than going dark and moody with the Alpha Wolf, Daystate has chosen a look-at-me glossy red and grey laminate thumbhole, in tones reminiscent of the Rosso variant of their awesome Red Wolf. It may not be to everyone’s taste, but even if you don’t like it you can’t help but stare. This is a gun that demands attention, even before you get a taste of its remarkable performance. For those of you who like something more subdued, I wouldn’t be surprised if a toned-down option were to follow fairly soon.

Apart from giving aesthetics a different twist, the laminate section of the stock also serves as a very comfortable ambidextrous handle. The generous thumbhole cutaway leads into a steep, chunky and nicely sculpted pistol grip, which gives excellent trigger attack and features crisp stippling on both sides. The underside of the forend sweeps sufficiently far forward that I didn’t find myself having to grab the bottle with my leading hand. It is also handily equipped with a 75mm Picatinny accessory rail for a bipod.
