Tony says blackwolf lite is £1900.

That's for the Zero version. I was watching this earlier and kept thinking how much I would like one of those in .177cal. The BRKs with the adjustable hammer spring and an adjustable transfer port are very nice also.

You can get a brk sniper for $1000 less than the 0 and it will probably shoot as well i bought 1 for my grand son

That Zero seems like a nice all business model, for a price that will be more approachable to many.

That’s good to know: they don’t leave the factory unless they’re pinpoint accurate.

Very functional and beautiful guns, nothing on em you dont need! Running the Ghost zero (still hate the name) as Sub-12 with that 24" barrel wow.....that reg must just be idling.... and one fill would probably last me a few days!
Good on them for running picatinny and dovetail on most of them too....gives people some options.

Tony-we are making guns that are superbly accurate!

I enjoyed watching the videos. They do leave me with a few questions though. I’m assuming “hand built” means hand assembled? I’ve seen people post how the BRK Ghost is a magnificent/beautiful example of machining. I’ve always assumed that most if not all of these aluminum airguns are produced in multi-axis CNC machine centers. I don’t think too many airguns are painstakingly produced by a skilled master machinist on lathes and mills. More likely they are produced in Fusion, Blender etc. and then machined in a fully automated 5-axis VMC with repeatable tolerances of .001-.005”. Maybe using Swiss lathes to finish the barrels. My other question is: are power wheels really a huge innovation? I’m told that my TalonP is archaic design and it has one. I made one for my Barra 250z. I do like the look of the new Rangers .

This is part of the reason i originally was so upset at the price of the Blackwolf. They originally stated it took 8 hrs to machine the ghosts block of aluminum. The Blackwolf probably takes 1/2 that.

I would say hand assembled is more correct for sure. To have a power wheel and a transfer port adjustment is actually pretty crazy on a sub12 pcp....I think Tony was saying each click is about 5fps?
As far as accuracy testing, I’ve always wondered if the full power ones are tested out by Daystate as well or just the Sub-12 models, seeing as UK gun laws are a bit extreme....

Those are valid points, I didn’t even equate it to sub12, even though he mentioned that FAC was an afterthought for the Ranger MKII.

I can definitely see why the Rangers would be appealing to old geezers like me. I was going to take the Sonoran into the woods with my grandson today. But, he wanted to use his Daisy Pumper and so I took the Air Venturi Alpha with the TNC225R. A few hours in the woods carrying it, I was grateful that the Sonoran was sitting at home. There’s definitely a place for compacts and the Ranger MKIIs look really nice.

I really like the 1 that kinda looks like the bw. In 177 or 22 it would be a good short range (25-50) target squirrel gun

 

[Billm]

I wanted a Pathfinder for a while. But, it’s getting blurry for me now of what’s what with the Ranger, Pathfinder, Atomic etc.. They all seem to compete against each other.

 

[Solo1]

Their the same receiver pretty much just different models built off it. The pathfinder has the exact same receiver as the commander
