Huntsman Huntsman Revere for "wife"

[Woogie_man]

Well I made a trade with FlordiaMan over on AGN for my Leshiy classic. Wasn't shooting it much, and honestly after my wife was having a fun time shooting my HM1000x, I wanted to get something that we would be able to shoot together. All while not shooting all my slugs up either Found this over on the classified section and made the deal without really thinking about it.

The rifle is in .177 with three mags from Carm along with the stock magazine and the single shot tray. I was stupid and sold the RedWolf that I absolutely loved, and honestly would probably trade my Ghost for one again.

Hopefully the wife and I will be able to shoot the rifle at some field targets in the back yard and have some fun. Figure the smaller caliber will be more fun, as well as more shots per fill.

Should be accurate and fun!! Good luck with it!

The one thing I didn't realize was that the stock is a synthetic build. I am starting to look into a replacement stock for the rifle.

But other than that we honestly both like the rifle. The shot cycle is extremely smooth and how quiet the rifle is. Hopefully be able to zero the rifle here in a few days. Though with deer season opening next weekend the indoor range is going to be packed! So hopefully I will be able to sneak in and get things roughly zeroed.

With the headline I thought you traded her for a good deal on the Air Rifle.

If I did that I better get the entire Daystate line of rifles and anything they come out with in the future!











***Saying that just in case my wife ever sees this post *****

I don’t think that is synthetic thats the safari i think they call it thats actually more expensive than the walnut.

Yeah I was just looking at different options and I guess on the Daystate website the stock is a Birch wood. The texture on the stock is something I haven't felt before, but I do like it. Wish the forend was a little stiffer because you can feel a little flex when you set the rifle down. The forend will hitt the air cylinder.

I never even closely looked at the stock to know what it’s made of.

I shot a few 197 30YC with Air arms 10.3’s
My better scores were JSB MRD’s. They were in the upper 700’s from what I remember, but that’s what was best for me.

 

[Woogie_man]

HEY!!!! Speaking of Flordia Man! I didn't realize you were a poster over here as well man!


Wife likes the rifle, so that is a good thing. The stock is a weird feeling and I honestly wasn't expecting the feel. But I can see with gloves it will hold great and provide some great grip. Have only shot a few rounds as of yet, but more will come...... I can promise you guys that!

The Leahiy is wearing a Pard 008 over here. I set up profiles for a few known distances today.
I have a bunch of old 25 cal pellet tins I want to burn through, so that barrel is in right now +5 on the HS. It’s doing 30 fpe now. I really like it with the 22 cal tune you had, I’ll be clicking back 5 for that with 22 cal.
One rat so far. PP700 is on agama duty now.

I had the same scope on the rifle when I had it. Mounted it on the eagle vision adjustable mount. While a little expensive, the mount is great for keeping the reticule centered in the screen

I primarily shoot .177 absolutely love it.

Agreed. The eagle vision mounts are top shelf.

Great looking rifle man! In 177 it should get 80 shots or so? And that moderator will keep her nice and quiet. I like the huge scope wheel too!

 

[Pesty3782]

So have you gotten out and shot a FT match yet? To me the Huntsman is the best bang for the buck in a FT rifle....I shoot 13's right at 800 FPS and it is stellar !!!!!! When I am not shooting my springer, the Huntsman is out on the course.

I have been looking, but the closest club is over 3 hours away. And with winter settling in now, tomorrows high is going to be -25*, there isn't much in the way of shoots right now. I may try and swing down next spring, or just set up my own course for a few buddies and go from there.

 

[Pesty3782]

Yeah weather sucks here. 56 and will warm up to 70’s

And i had a low of 10 and a high of 33 !

 

[BanjomanMI76]

With all the inclement weather talk, because of the Great Lakes at least the temps in Michigan wont be below zero for highs. I just wished we could have finished the indoor shooting range at my local conservation club Maybe next year but, we have one wall up of (6x2x2) cement blocks. (think road dividers)

 

[Woogie_man]

I have been talking with my local range about being able to shoot indoors on the new range they just got done building. Hoping that the leadership will allow it, and I will make some concrete blocks to hold the targets. Would be great fun to shoot in the winter and not have to worry about frostbite!
