Huntsman Revere

[Solo1]

Hard to believe with the way most airguns are made today that you can buy a revere take it out of the box throw a scope on it pick your favorite slug or pullet shoot a couple to get sited in and go shoot ft , targets in the back yard, or go hunting knowing that if you do your part you’ll hit whatever you’re aiming at! Ya just gotta love a gun that looks that good and shoots as good as it looks! Ive got 2 a 177 and a 22 and while they aren’t the most powerful my 22 is my squirrel hunter.

Who else loves the revere?

It’s a beauty! I have a Huntsman Regal in .25. Love it. Super accurate, half inch groups at 50 yards all day. It’s one of my most favorite gun.

My first PCP airgun was a Huntsman Regal in 22 cal , what a great airgun .

My 177 makes a great backup ft gun. If was a bit heavier it would be just as good for ft as my red wolf!

 

[CTAirgunner]

The revere imo is one of the best, regal, prestigious looking air rifles if not the best looking traditional rifle on the market.

 

[Frankly]

If only it had a Foster valve instead of a probe it'd be perfect. I had a beautiful one with a great stock.

That would be nice but sometimes i think you have to give the nod to the old ways.

Beautiful, awesome rifles.

Unfortunately i had some bad luck with mines. Ordered a 30 ft/lbs regulated model some months ago but got a 40 ft/lbs one with the Huma reg set at a whopping 190bar only giving 11 shots before falling off instead of the advertised 21 shots (for 40 ft/lbs while i wanted a 30 ft/lbs w 39 shots). Adjusting hammer spring to bring power down obviously is not air efficient when reg is set so high and didn't want to go in and adjust pressure as it would void warranty. So back she went. Replacement came... reg on 190bar again... same thing... huh?

Contacted Daystate support and they said it was completely normal reg pressure set so high from factory and if i didn't get shot count should go back to dealer.

Have Huma regs in my HW100 and AA S510 and 115-120 bar reg pressure is about the sweet spot for 30fpe keeping the rifle air efficient w great shot count.

Can't flaunt the rifle at all. Light, well balanced and easy to handle, not ammo fussy and shot like a laser. Its a dream rifle. Just don't understand what Daystate is about with their reg pressure theory. What a load of bs that was...

Got a refund in end but now i'm kicking myself, should have kept it and changed myself, i miss her.

I've had a Revere for a few weeks now and what a fantastic little gun it is, it's a real treat to shoot sub 12 .177 great on air an absolute Laser great little gun

I owned a .22 Regal that I foolishly sold. It was a super nice air rifle with a full Huggett shroud/ldc. I remember not caring too much for the cocking effort or for how close the foster fitting was to the rear of the ldc. Should have never sold it.

About a year ago I made it right, & bought a .177 Sub 12fpe Revere. I absolutely love that gun. It’s simply sublime. I love the looks of the shorter air tube, much nicer than the longer tube on the full power models. I would sacrifice a few shots for a much more balanced looking gun. But, that’s just me. It’s so incredibly accurate & repeatable.

A few months later I saw that AoA had some “used” New old stock Regals in .20 & I pulled the trigger. Wow! Full power at 25fpe and it’s a laser!!! It’s regulated with a bolt action. Very classy looking minus the longer air tube. But at least it has threaded barrel and not the old bonded Reflex LDC.

And a beautiful stock too! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Solo1]

Yep looks like you hit the stock lottery too! Well done. Wish i had a 20!

 

[Okieairgunner]

I absolutely love my safari. .177 20fpe. I really want a .177 Red Wolf. But when you have this, that just out of the box is a tack driver makes the decision to get a RW a whole lot harder.

I've got a .177 regulated with reg setting of 145 bar. I can't find anything to complain about. Attractive, accurate, affordable. Here's my stock after I added a coat of linseed oil for protection:

Yes, I would have violated that warranty in an instant!, and fixed it myself. The only airgun that I would allow myself to be a hostage to their warranty rules would be an electronic one because I don't know how to work on them and that is why I won't buy one. Problem solved!
I think the Revere is easily the best looking airgun made.

The Revere is beautiful. Can't go wrong with it.

Just took my new Revere 22 regulated out of the box two weeks ago. I was finally able to go out and do some shooting this week. I bought this from AOA. It was their “We the Plinkers package”. I cleaned the barrell and was very impressed with the first twenty shots. By the way it kept getting more accurate and I am waiting to see what it does next weekend. Even though the wind was gusting a bit I was able to easily get it zeroed and accurate out to 25 35 and 40 yards.
I really like this gun.

I had a huntsman regal 22 regulated and I absolutely loved it. That is one gun I sort of regret selling, just so accurate, consistent and reliable. The revere looks to be quite an upgrade with the side lever instead of bolt, ive often thought of getting one. I dont actually have a picture of mine without a critter in it, but thats kind of the nature of that rifle I think.

Yea its not the latest and greatest but it sure is dependable accurate and pretty!

Both the wife and I shoot a Revere for FT....Today we will be heading out to what I call the Tuesday Morning Crusty Critter FT shoot. The retired guys have a shoot every Tuesday morning, but there is no standing or kneeling. Our youngest son is home for the holidays and will shoot Barb's Revere and Barb is going to shoot her ghost. Should be a good time hanging with Matthew one last time before he gets onto an airplane back home.
