Wolverine Understanding the Daystate Wolverine Platform

[Scriv]

My first Daystate was a wolverine R. Nice guns. Probably should have kept that one.

I’m starting this thread because I simply do not understand the platform in all of its iterations. I’ve seen the Wolverine, Wolverine 2, Wolverine B, Wolverine C, Wolverine R, Wolverine Hi-Lite .303, Wolverine Saphire, etc. I honestly do not know the differences between all of these iterations or what sets this rifle apart from other mechanical Daystate and BRK/Brocock sporter/semi-bullpup styles rifles. I’m talking about as far as mechanical advantage or performance are concerned.

The differences I have noticed:
1) There appears to have been a .30 Wolverine before other models had this caliber.
2) Utilize the slingshot hammer system. Was it the first Daystate gun to do so?
3) R version uses side-lever as opposed to a bolt on the rear of the breech block on older models, but many other brands have levers at this point.
...

The slingshot valve first appeard in 2008 and was fitted to all mechanical rifles (per an email from Daystate). The first Wolverine appeared in 2012.

All R models are regulated and have the side lever.

Wolverine HP 303 vs. HP Hi-Lite; HP 303 has a cylinder (300cc), while the Hi-Lite has a bottle (480cc)

Wolverine HP is a .22 with a 300cc cylinder

B-type - two different power setting and bottles .177 and .22 (12ft lbs w/ 400cc, and 31 ft. lbs w/ 500cc)

C-type - has a polymer tactical sleeve over a 200cc cylinder

Hi-Lite - 480cc carbon fiber bottle

Wolverine 2 are similar to the above but have updates. The receivers are silver finished and I think the magazines are different. I’m not sure what else is different.

Sapphire model is cosmetically different. It has a Sapphire blue stock and the receiver appears to be blueish too. It is also marked Sapphire edition on the receiver.
