Air Arms S510 vs Daystate Wolverine R English Showdown

[@davegallagher4498]

good job in comparing the two. I'm kind of surprised the air arms is as accurate as you've shown it to be with those speeds, pretty fast for a pellet! Thanks for doing this review.

[@plastudios1328]

Hi Dave! Yes, the S510 is my bread and butter air rifle. I have since picked up an FX Crown which is just as lethally accurate. Thanks for checking the vid out! Cheers!

[@patthewoodboy]

AA S 400 is also as good , single shot , quality

[@DGA2000]

So happy I found this. These were the two air rifles I was trying to choose between...

[@bltefft]

Which one do you get?

[@plastudios1328]

I'm very glad I could help out video-wise! I'll be producing some new material in the next few months, so check back!

[@heithwatkins]

Just saw your video. I like both of these fine airguns. I would love to own both of them. Sometimes people get caught up in defending their brand. But either choice is great. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. The quality of the video is excellent. Thanks for taking the time to bring this to us. God bless you. Liked and subscribed. 😁👍

[@plastudios1328]

Thank you for your kind comments, Heith! I'm glad you stopped by.

[@HD-ph1dc]

Good video and you sure have a couple nice rifles there! I just bought a Daystate but was looking seriously at the Air Arms.

[@plastudios1328]

Hi HD! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, I absolutely love my Air Arms S510! I've added a Crown MkII and am falling in love with that one, but nothing will unseat my AA! Cheers!

[@ianwoods1384]

Hello Sir, My name is Ian and I come from the UK. Thank you for your review of these two wonderful, capable air rifles. I've shot the S510, though not the Wolverine. In terms of cocking leavers, since your review, you can now buy a handle to fit the Air Arms cocking lever, that now makes it the same as the Wolverine. I've never used a cocking a lever smoother than the S510. It's so smooth I thought it ran on ball bearings. Just beautiful engineering. I've never shot a Wolverine. I like the Air Arms trigger, though I have double loaded it before today. I thought that was my stupidness, so thank you for being honest and saying you'd done the same. Personally, I'm not keen on a heavy trigger as I think it may pull your shot, so I liked the factory setting standards. I'm surprised you thought the Air Arms was heavier than the Wolverine. In terms of looks, I'd have thought the Wolverine was the heaviest. That's good to know. Thank you again for your review, in relaxed settings with no distractions. You have two beautiful, capable air rifles there. Congratulations on owning them, and I wish you great luck with h your shooting. Best wishes, Ian.

[@plastudios1328]

Hi Ian! Thank you for the kind words in your comments. I have enjoyed almost every minute of owning my S510! It is indeed my favorite air rifle in my cabinet. I have since parted with the Daystate, it is a very nice air rifle but could not compete for my heart strings like the Air Arms. I have replaced it with the Swedish FX Crown, which I consider the crown jewel of my collection, but still shoot my S510 99% of the time!!! It's only downfall(s) is the ability to double load and the inability to clearly see pellets in the tinted magazine. I deal with them, but wish I didn't have to. Anyways, thanks again for your comments and a pleasure communicating with you! Cheers!

[@ianwoods1384]

@plastudios1328 Hello My friend, Thank you for replying to my message. It's lovely to message you and exchange our views on our kit. I have to agree with your points in your reply. I, too, struggle with seeing how many pellets are left in the magazine, when I've been distracted from counting. I have double loaded, too. I have, from what I remember, shot the two pellets out. What I also did after that. I purchased a length of three millimetre bar from our hardware store. It only cost me three pounds. That meant, if the barrel was four point five millimetres, I had three quarters of a millimetre at either side. I rubbed down the bar with very fine sandpaper and, at one end, whipped on a bit of handle like you would a rod ring. The front end, I filed a bull nose to protect the barrel rifling I removed the silencer, and obviously, very carefully and slowly pushed out the pellets into the breech area. It's not something I enjoy doing, though I only had to do it once, and it worked. I bought some small gauge water pipe and made a tubular case for the probe. Normally, I wouldn't put anything up any barrel apart from that and do it very carefully. Cheers, my friend, Ian.

[@kitcarson7572]

I have a new Daystate Wolverine 2 Huma and I love it. However you can double load the air rifle as Daystate changed their magazine and it no longer prevents double feed as it bypasses the little pin that prior to the newer models prevented double loading. So they took two steps backwards with that feature. Also you cannot De-Cock the rifle. Once cocked the hammer is separated from the bolt and you cannot de-cock the rifle. So prior to putting the rifle up after playing you simply have to dry fire it. Yes FX is over engineered and most of us find a pellet we like and stick with it. We learn and know what to expect out of a rifle and tend to not change. However the biggest problem with FX is the reliability. I have had two FX air rifles and had problems with both of them. Both spent more time in transit and shipping and going back and forth to the repair shop than being used. I sold them both. All that over engineering only gives room for more to go wrong. Cheers Kit

[@plastudios1328]

Hi Kit! I was not aware that Daystate has removed the double-load feature!!! That's a rather major feature to remove from an airgun! Wow! Haven't heard much about FX's reliability issues but hopefully it will not show up on my newly purchased Crown MKII. I must check into the new Daystate's now to see what's going on. Thanks for the info! Cheers!

[@gordonlee3312]

Yes agreed not as good as I thought problems on both of mine also I own over 24 air rifles and had problems with several of them which when you buy new is not what you expect

[@Steve-Cross]

I have the Wolverine R. It is impossible to double load with the new magazine. At least I haven’t had that problem. Once the rifle has been cocked, the pins can no longer operate the magazine, no matter how many times you try to cock it. Therefore it cannot be double loaded. The only way you can double load is if you use the single shot tray and forget you have already loaded, but I am sure you will notice when you pull back the cocking lever anyway. If I am distracted and forget I have loaded. I simply shoot into the ground, just in case. 🙂

[@jonathanevans5132]

Great video. I'm in the UK and looking at the same choice of gun but can't decide whether to take the plunge and seek a FAC ticket.

[@plastudios1328]

I would if you could...seems like a huge waste at sub-12 ft/lbs!

Great video, I really enjoyed your clear and honest feedback, the Wolverine is one I am considering? Your review has helped me greatly! Thank you!

Hi Tim! I am so glad you were able to benefit from the feedback in my video! Good luck with your Wolverine purchase! You'll be happy I'm sure. Cheers!

[@ambientfish1369]

Keep at it bro your content is pretty decent. Those are both great guns, you might want to check out the HW100S or HW100KT, accuracy is definitely on a par with the Daystate and Air Arms with anti double load and hands down the best magazine system going. Weihrauch's German build quality is 2nd to none.🙂👍👍

[@plastudios1328]

Thanks for the encouragement! I will certainly check out the Weihrauch's as well.

[@plastudios1328]

I had certainly had my eye on the HW100 series, I however, decided to head to Sweden instead (:-)

[@brandonmatz9832]

I've been thinking on both gun's The AA and the Daystate I felt better on the Daystate. So I appreciate your video... I've owned air guns for well over 35 yrs.and the best air gun I've ever owned was the FX Impact. but it's not perfect it has it's issues. I will think about getting the Daystate Wolverine next. I have 2 other's.. the FX Impact is my favorite gun.

[@plastudios1328]

Hi Brandon! Yes, I've seen (and heard) a lot about the Impact. If I was into tactical-styled weapons I believe that would be my first choice or the new Maverick. I really don't see much need to add anything else to my cabinet as these 3 seemed to be the cream of the crop. And it's a lot of cash too! Thanks for checking the vid out! Have a good one!

[@sherbs58]

Beautiful stock on the Wolverine

[@bugsy742]

Love how you put it all across mate 👍 big love from the UK 🇬🇧 gotta say the Air Arms safety catch is straight up dangerous! I’ve had both but still only have the D state, also have FX Crown & I think I’ve come to realise that all manufacturers make errors here and there, Air arms lost a lot of confidence in the U.K. and I’m not sure they will climb back out of it 🤷‍♂️ they were the last to start using regulators and instead put stupid gimmicks like a “windicator” on it? 🤣🤷‍♂️ absolutely pointless 😩 The S200,400 & 410 were and still are incredible but like BSA I personally feel AA are getting left in the dust apart from the staunch fan boys who always seem to rate Hawke scopes too! very bizarre! 😮😆 thanks for taking the time to make and share the vid 👍🤗

[@plastudios1328]

Hi Bugsy742! I have to agree about each manufacturer dropping the ball here and there. As for the AA, I think the biggest mistake (at least for me) made, was the lack of an anti-double load mechanism! That just drives me crazy, but I'm still in love with my S510! I'm also looking at adding the FX Crown down the line but believe I have 2 of the best 3 guns in the air-gunning world. With the exception of the FX, can only go down from here. Thanks for the chat and for stopping by. Cheers!

[@bugsy742]

PLA Studios ahhh the double load mate - the only downside to my Crown, it drives me insane also my friend, don’t matter who you are it’s gunna happen sooner or later, also I’m running 1000 fps through my Crown atm shooting Hybrid Slugs with plenty more power left in her, their are quite a few prominent top you tubers ( everyone knows who I’m talking about ) who are misleading their viewers about its capabilities so FX can shift more Mk 2 Impacts and power plenums etc, they either know and are complicit or they don’t and are ignorant 🤷‍♂️ either way my point is that if you do fancy a Crown and want high power it IS possible with a very simple tune 👍😎 I’ve still got my AA S200 my 1st pcp 👍😎 I always wanted an S410 but in those days couldn’t afford one 😩🤣

Thank you Mark for the kind words! Great location to be (next to a Leader in the industry)! Cheers!

[@brynybach7741]

The S510 is obviously heavier because of its laminate stock. With a walnut stock, they are similar in weight. Again, the Wolverine with its laminate stock is heavier.

[@roadwarrior1459]

I own both, and honestly I can’t choose. Although I will say my S510R has an atrocious shot count, and the position of the safety is awful. The R is a tad heavy and bulky when your out all day shooting

[@plastudios1328]

I certainly agree about the shot count of the S510...a function of the aesthetically pleasing slender bottle. But it maybe just a mental thing with me...when I know I need 100% accuracy I automatically reach for the S510 even though the Wolverine has proven to be just as accurate.

[@bltefft]

Good review, as for charging, do they use a full probe or a foster fitting?

[@plastudios1328]

Both have their own unique probe, but will connect to any standard Foster connect. Hope this helps.

I'm stuck on either the AA S510r or the Daystate Revere?

[@plastudios1328]

Don't know much about the Revere but that Air Arms is a no-brainer. The only drawback for me is the absence of an anti-double load mechanism. That should really be added to any future models if possible, other than that, a superior air rifle in my opinion! Thanks for checking out the video!
