Any idea how to decock the Daystate Delta Wolf? LoL

Intrested to know if you adjusted POI for the 20m and 30m shot on the .177, or did you always aim for the dot on board without any zero adjustment. Also, what range did you zero at?

Per cortesia potresti indicarmi la marca e le caratteristiche dell' ottica montata sulla tua carabina ???? Grazie.

great

Per cortesia vorrei conoscere la marca e le caratteristiche dell' ottica montata sulla carabina. Grazie.

This is one of the most serious rewievs I’ve seen in a long time, thank you for applaing all information. I’ve just ordered the same gun but it’s going ti come in sub12 version as Im in to pest controlling. What are your thoughts about mounts and shooting pestbirds att full speed in 75 meters? I’ve got 3 or 4 scopes laying around not beeing used and they are Nikko stirlings (6-24 by 50, 4-16 by 50, and some chineese crap) what do you think would be the best set up for my new rifle?

Old video, but I will ask anyways: How does the 30 ft lb relate to a .22LR rimfire?

Very thorough & well presented review Thankyou

Absolute pants rifle I've stripped loads down in the last two weeks the sear is a stamped piece rough as fik brass dust every were the hammer on all four were covered in brass fillings the hammer spring and weight load of pisss

Condescending shite

I must apologise to you Richard I commented that a s510 /weihrauch hw100 is better at half the price I just bought a redwolf midnight .177 and at 30metres I took 40 shots and it’s probably the best group I’ve had in almost 50 years of shooting it measured 5.4 mm in size so basically one hole and I’m a decent shooter but I put it down to the guns barrel and electronics the feet spread was only 6fps that’s incredible.

This was an interesting review, and your enthusiasm for the look and bolt came through to interest me. Do you know what the break in the cylinder is? It is above the front manometer and appears to go all around the cylinder. Also, since air goes in the front of the cylinder, how can there be baffles in the cylinder? Thanks if you know.

Thanks for the video, now I have better clear idea, I will take the Weihrauch than other, can you kindly suggest also the tipe of aptics that is better use, the proposal il for field/hunting shot, Thanks

Very cool rifle you had commented that was a brand new rifle there may be a break-in process required with this after that your groups will improve just saying great job with a video

Great vid as usual Rich, thank you. Folks on RUclips are already recommending alternative magazines as I’m sure you’re aware, I think FX could really up their game there. I’m still looking forward to an Alpha Militaria cap when you guys get around to it.

Nice review Richard. You are very thorough. Not very good reviews over here. I'd say a good price here for 995 00 here the states. Thanks Bud!

I'm not impressed with that shot count on the fac version.

I’m just now getting back into air rifles after being away from them for about 17 years. I just bought a Gamo Wildcat whisper 177 and I was tempted to return it and get a 22 since I haven’t opened the box yet. I’m happy I watched this because I’m deciding to keep it now. I’ll get a 22 a little later

When was this rifle released? I ask because they are on pre-order everywhere I've looked, when is the official release? PS. It's one hell of a sweet looking bit of kit.

Has a “silencer”? Seems pretty loud to me

What distance?

Very interesting and quite different to what I was expecting, not having shot an FAC air rifle. Mind you, I didn’t see much evidence of running😁😁

Hi Rich, Thanks for a great review. That looks like a great air rifle and if I had the chance to own one of those as a youngster, and I'd have loved to, and you'd have had to peel me off the ceiling! The stock and blueing look fabulous. Having listened to some of the air rifle tuners on here, its not always at 11.9, a sub 12ftlb air rifle functions at its best. Many say around 10.5 ftlb is good, which is what this BSA Meteor is doing. I'd have loved that air rifle back in the day. My late father left me a BSA Meteor, which he had serviced himself. As a youngster, I wasn't allowed to do anything like that, have tools or airguns either. In the eighties, I suffered the rule, being seen and not heard... Just to prove a point, last year I made a project out of that air rifle and its buzz/twang. One thing that also inspired me, was that not many people would do what I was going to do. I took the rifle apart, which was all nicely lubed from my father. I made a top hat from delrin bar. I sleeved the spring inside the piston and the spring guide, to take out all the play and loosness. I replaced the piston and breech seals, properly lubed with the rellevent greases and re- assembled. I'm no air rifle tuner. However, the air rifle shot great, and much improved. The buzz/twang had gone, more of a zip noise, and there was less recoil. I was super pleased with, infact and showed to myself, how someone with little knowledge of air rifle tuning, can make a difference. It was so pleasing to realise the improvements in the air rifle. I think at that time, the BSA Meteor's were shooting at around 8ftlb, the Mark5. Best wishes, Ian.

Great review - had my HW95L tuned by Paul Short and it shoots beautifully. I love the lighter weight of this rifle and it does just what it says on the tin.

At practical range both are fine. Doing range work out to what you can hit consistently and knowing you hold over/under is a must. .177 leaves the barrel faster but thats because it needs to, to match or reach the same power of the .22. Used both in various rifles from spring to pcp. Don't have a preference tbh. Both at 30yards deliver enough energy to drop the target,even though the .22 will deliver more than .177. End of day doesn't matter the size of the pellet,its the person behind the trigger.

Hi Richard I have a regal . Just got a revere. But unfortunately the side lever linkage has some much movement/ play in it . I will obviously. Ware with use but very disappointed it left the factory like that . I don’t think Daystate are quite as good as there once were. The barrel shroud rattles in the barrel band . Poor for a £1165 rifle .

Hi Richard, appreciate it’s a bit more expensive, but would you have the DRS or a HW100 if you were buying one rifle ?

That be better be some tough varnish though, you would be a bit miffed marking the wood.

It would be nice to know the muzzle velocity, the trigger pull and the loudness.

Hi Richard I presume the macavity is up for review shortly just wondering if it will be sub 12 or fac.

Pick mine up today 👍great review btw

...EXCELLENT video, thanks!!!😀

Something bothers me, 22 pellets fits a larger bore and should require more power to give it momentum, yet it uses less gas than 177 pellet.

Shame it didn't have a pic rail, especially if aimed at hunting/ pest control also it doesn't seem to have option for a bipod I was going to trade in my 110 otherwise

Great review Richard, Mrs has one in . 177, damn accurate it is anawl, I put a smidgen of grease on the probe and left it in, and put a, snazzy foster cap on it from best fittings.. It won't drop out, indeed when you pull the cap off to charge it up, it doesn't pull the probe out.. Looks cool anawl.. Mrs loves it

is it very quiet like quiet enough to shoot in the backyard without anyone wondering anything

what is the weight of it and do you think iteigh to mch or its too long?

Great review as usual Richard. These days I’m only really interested in bullpup/take down/ folding stock options because of their sheer portability but I can make an exception for this one. I was shown one recently in my local gun shop and it handled beautifully and even with its conventional lines it actually weighed less than the high end - light as a feather - Bullpup I was supposed to be checking out. Shame that FX won’t change the design of the their magazines to one that’s simpler and doesn’t hang out of the side of the gun and while they’re at it why don’t all manufacturers just drop probes in favour of foster fittings. In spite of these little irritations (for me anyway) - I’m totally sold on the sheer simplicity, handing and portability of this little gun and for £750 it’s a no brainer. Thanks for the review Richard, it’s nice to know there isn’t some hidden flaw with the gun but I suppose when a manufacture like FX decide to keep it simple they’re going to get it right first time around.

If there is an afterlife I hope you come back as a rabbit

Looks like a really nice rifle, but I lost interest when I saw the faffing about with the magazine. Simple is best for me. So I think I'll be sticking with the ever faithful HW100. A pity they couldn't come up with a simolar style of mag for FX rifles ?.

Another great job Rich. Ya know...we share the same name. When the hell can we share a range?😂😂

An interesting vertical climb with the first 6-8 shots..🤨

Sir, can you do one thing for me please? Can you show us that I have 200 shots in 22cal, because I can’t see that happening

The FX DRS seems to be a great value for the money. Excellent review, Richard!

had a shoot of one last week , great little rifle , loved the trigger on it

Hi, Nice review, curious though you mentioned shoot count .177 140 and the 22 cal at 200 shot count, wouldn’t that be the opposite? Thanks.

Hi ... Is there anywhere to attach a bipod ?

What’s the scope ?

Wouldn't like to try and load that magazine on a cold dark nite Richard all the quarry would have gone ps of all the air rifles and magazines the hw100 is still king

Great review this is going to be my next rifle love the weight and simplicity, just hope there is enough room on that rear rail for a Cheetah NV scope.
