REVIEW: Daystate Red Wolf - NEW Laminate

[@45035]

6 years later and still love this gun. Thank you Daystate.

[@mikeenglish7063]

Giles I'm happy to tell you the A team is so real. I loved watching that excellent documentary series

[@moscty]

Never knew how much I could lust after an airgun!

[@sid35gb]

These rifles are accurate and in current configuration reliable. My mate owns one at least 24,000 pellets through his last year and a similar amount in 2023 no major issues apart from forgetting to charge the battery and worn out mags and giving the barrel a clean every so often. He Has no trouble shooting Trebor soft mints edge on at 80yards in calm conditions.

[@avernicusdeus6957]

WOW no matter how many times I watch this video, it just always always gives that smile on my face. I would really love to have one of this

[@gillybob29]

I just bought a daystate huntsman classic no issues and no batteries and shoots like a dream

[@garypostell5268]

Now we talking great power and accuracy in high power absolutely fabulous!

[@chuisamen]

I swear you are Mark Libet of The Chase s long lost brother, Love ur channel keep it up

[@patsparks8731]

I want that target setup in my backyard.

[@regsparkes6507]

well I can dream, can't I ? That Red Wolf is a beautiful looking rifle for sure.

[@biagiocozza2933]

Great airgun review Giles. Now, you just made me fall in love with this beautiful rifle. Thank you for that.

[@RussW185]

Hi Giles. I love your videos, great humour, very informative and delivered professionally. Many thanks. I went out today and bought a Daystate Red Wolf Walnut. Bingo.

[@robg4957]

I had a Daystate mk3 sub 12 ft/lbs. It was the first electronic offering from Daystate. I could consistently kill rabbits at 60yds and one confirmed 80yd kill. If I pushed it, I’m sure that I could’ve killed from further, given perfect conditions etc. Daystates really are that good. When zeroing at 40yds, it would be pellet upon pellet upon pellet. Before anyone starts to gob off about responsibility and not using a 12ft/lb rifle beyond 40yds, I’m an ex royal marine who gained a marksman badge - google and you’ll see that’s not a bad shot!!! I will be in the market for a new air rifle soon and genuinely can’t see past getting a new Daystate fitted with all of the electronic wizardry. It eliminates a lot of the irregularities with other non electronic rifles. A clean kill 99% of the time rather than 75%. 👍🏻👍🏻Daystate

[@AirGunnerSA]

Amazing rifle man! Cant wait to get my safari now that im part of Daystates ASP program

[@mrmactknife]

Airguns, Airwolf, The A Team and cakes! This video has everything! Nice work Giles ;)

[@Wildchannel360]

Daystate is the king of the huntsman rifle out there. Work of art, jewelry of the hunter.

[@Bsez7547]

Great video Giles keep them coming, got me convinced to buy a Daystate Redwolf if I could only afford the hefty price tag

[@geetee7154]

Cool video Giles,even Cooler Rifle, quite a bit out of my price bracket,which is a shame,maybe one day!!!!!

[@rangur1]

that is a serious piece of equipment giles, costly, but great. it is nice to see the best of the best contenders. cheers!

[@abrahamward102]

Love watching these videos, thank you for making them.

[@sahhull]

I'll stay with my Daystate CRX and Daystate 2000. Both triggers are way better than my mouse button.. Finally. I have no need for multishot, I hit what I aim at.

[@thatblokewiththescar7455]

The battery situation is very simple to fix. Buy a decent battery and a proper charger! £10 for the battery and £30 for a multi charger and you can charge the battery in 15-20 mins. Get a high C rating Nanotech battery from Turnigy and by the time you have put the rifle into its bag and packed away a few tins of pellets the battery will be charged. Cracking gun by the way cant wait to see one in the flesh.

[@stevepennington1613]

Brilliant Vid regarding the Red Wolf, funny to lol ,, i now own one and its the nuts, accuracy is rediculas well happy

[@timt1943]

This is a work of art. There is no way I would hunt with it do to fear of scratching it lol

[@pawpawsailor]

Very nice good! And just for your information, There is a species in the southern United States called the red wolf.

[@StylewizeTV]

Im so excited. I just registered for EBR 2018!!!

[@kapirock7903]

Giles , check the Guara Wolf, it is a wolf species native of South America, it is not really red but it is close enough, depends on the light.

[@Swede_4_DJT]

Haha! Thanks for a good review and a good laugh! You got yourself a new subscriber:) Regards from Sweden

[@lawsonrichards6251]

Great review. This gun is out of my league.

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

nice looking rifles I like the choice of power depending on conditions you didn't try the 7.8 grain JSB pellets on the .177 on my wolverine I'm supposed to use the 50.grain JSB I use the 44.75 grain JSB or the new H&N barracuda 46.30 grains so the low end I'm shooting like 950 depending on air in my rifle but always 100 ft/lbs gonna shoot long distance this weekend did it take some shots to get it right at long range how much hold over I love the trigger on my daystate when are you gonna do a review on the wolverine r (regulated)

[@srspower]

With this electronic system it makes you wonder when daystate will release a semi automatic version?

[@experienceprecision5406]

Never. Made in England.

[@CreepyDan]

Not 1 but 2 Red Wolfs I see! You lucky lucky man, love your great sense of humor and awesome videos Giles!

[@WolfgangVonKempelen838]

Simply the best and funniest of reviews, always makes me laugh and happy. You should make your own comic show; I bet it will be a big success. Oh, it is a fantastic gun by the way ;)

[@jameshealy4594]

That's a gorgeous rifle, but that battery and charger solution is completely unacceptable. I have torches that cost less than $100 with 2400mah batteries smaller than that thing, that charge by plugging a USB cable into the outside. They still have a long way to go in my opinion, this is an expensive air rifle, not an RC car from the 90s.

[@markhomer7628]

James The Airwolf AND the MK4 both have plug in leads ( and probably the pulsar ) why they made it so you have too take the battery out , god only knows , I've mentioned this on ALL reviews I've watched . Just can't understand why .

[@lewisyorks7497]

Mark Homer The Pulsar is AAs or PP4, you can use rechargables but I don't think it's worth it. I've just changed the as shipped batteries about 8 months in and many tins of pellets down the barrell.

[@nickholmes6376]

Thats exactly wot it is, lithium batteries are brilliant but can be volitile, rc enthusiasts use the same tech and they should be removed from the unit before charging

[@markhomer7628]

Lewis Sadler Your right Lewis ... I remembered just after I posted my reply , then I forgot too correct it as I wrote it while on the bog ..then went into the shower ...

[@harryzero1566]

I've just compared my HW100 to a recently acquired HW 97 TK underlever and my HW 99s springer. Same result from all three models. all well within a 5p peice. There must come a time when money is spent with diminishing returns. Batteries, electronics I can do without.

[@patsparks8731]

Those are all very good rifles. I loved (but sold) my BSA Superten which was cumbersome to fill...but I see your point to a degree. I still have my Logun Mk II....I also dig the Daystate LE rifles and love the fact that they’ve had this program for years. But I skipped the ones that had batteries. Tech wise they’re cool...but I just didn’t want to deal w charging batteries. Airguns are so accurate to begin with, it’s easy to see how they got to the point of infinitesimal improvements but I applaud the constant quest for improvement. Twenty years ago it was so hard to even find high end Airguns in the US so I love seeing how their popularity has changed this.

[@sjeb1967]

5000 shots on one charge and your whining about charging it 🙄🤣

[@giovannim5101]

Looking great Giles keep it up i can't love my pasta and pizza.

[@DaveGregson]

Wow, wow, wo, I’m so getting this gun when I can afford it. What a gun

[@garyhenderson6504]

Fabulous review. I'm across the pond in the colonies, where George Washington is still wanted for treason. I have never fired a PCP rifle. In fact, I just bought my second British springer. The first was over 40 years ago. It was an inexpensive BSA. (I had a BSA Lightning Rocket motorcycle, so it seemed like a good fit. The second was just ordered: An Air Arms TX200 in .22 caliber. Damn, you guys make some great airguns. BTW, I love the pink flamingo boa and matching sunglasses. Giving Sir Elton a run for his money, are we? Seriously, thank you for a very enjoyable review.

[@1ducyboy]

Hey Giles, super vid! Please tell me - which in your opinion is the better sub 12ft lbs all-rounder, the FX Crown of this new Red wolf?

[@Countrysleeper]

Great video giles!. But I'm not to sure on the battery and charger !!!.👍

[@nobeltube]

You've certainly got a cracking pair there Giles ;-)

[@marcusstanley9317]

Think they will make different color laminates so we can have a grey wolf or maybe even earth tone with the brown, tan and green in it for hunters that don't want to cover up the beautiful stock with wrap especially the .30 and predator hunting, either way I'm buying one! Great review!

[@roberttaylor185]

Daystate are just throwing new gun after new gun, limited this and limited that it's more messing and more things to go wrong. It's all about making money. I have a daystate harrier and it still as good today as it was the day I got it it's battered the stock is dinged and banged but it still works spot on and has just had a reseal for the first time since new. I wonder if the new daystate will last this long.

[@toxlaximus3297]

Could you review the Gamo Phox £499.99 package with pump, bag and scope, please?

[@phonpheng9906]

In my dreams, I love it 😍 so much , but I cannot have money 💰 to buy 😞

[@frankfaller2398]

Had a go ...still prefer my airwolf ...on board charge .....and I don't like the huge reload arm

[@garypostell5268]

Impressive with a large price tag as well!

[@heithwatkins]

I was going to buy one. But bought a used Mazda Miata instead.

[@ArturoGarcia-kx8pq]

I buy one and also have Strada pick up truck 🤣

[@bullseyebe5719]

Great video keep up the great work. I've been watching your channel for a while now and I think it is the best KZbin channel I've ever seen

[@murdoch451]

Nice vid Giles, My friend has No 27 that he bought at the show, beautiful gun. one day eh.

[@panther105]

Air rifles just keep getting sexier and sexier.......Just like you, Giles!!

[@ABSBARNES]

I’ve bought one in walnut mr Giles. Can you show us how to adjust the trigger please??

[@Ratsinthereticles]

Daystate harrier best gun I’ve ever owned

[@nigelbase1196]

The "only one" you've owned ??😊

[@AndyofSmeg]

This is my dream rifle when they do a bullpup 😜

[@carsmax]

What a beauty !!!!!!! But the power settings at the FAC is not good because between mid power and low is just 2 fpe !!! My settings would be high 36, mid 22 and 12 fpe at low for field target competition !! What´s the price ? My house ??? lol Great , funny and informative vid, Giles as always !!!

[@lfcmarkeb7124]

if still be concerned with long term fault free running with the wholly electronic system, think I'd prefer the huntsman an equally beautiful rifle and just as accurate

[@Kristiana-mb9lk]

Hi Giles, love watching the video and others, which at times makes me smile, laugh but become more confused on what air gun to buy. Now after 4 years from your review would you still prompt this gun over some of the Brocock range and others out there in October 22, I keep falling in love with the Red Wolf. I know I am bad but what would be a safe bet other than a Red Wolf?

[@lrverma1812]

Market values and from where I can buy this one .

[@rickydowning2194]

I think the electronics should be have a 10year warranty with them. It would attract a lot more customers. The thing that fears me is the £200 service if things go wrong.... which you would hope wouldn’t

[@shaneweightman]

Lovely , but prefer the one without the electronics, to much to go wrong ,, cheersvshane 🇬🇧 uk

[@vainparasite]

If the mct technology is so ace why is full power on the sub 12 10.9? Why is it not 11.5 / 11.9? We have to abide with low powered airguns, I understand all that but why by so much. My s510 is 11.7 with jsb 8.44gn and I’m happy with that. I’m not however happy to be fobbed off with a brand new gun in the 9’s as my local rfd tried to sell me. Especially with the anti tamper stuff on them nowadays.

[@akirby2886]

Is the Red Wolf the same as the wolverine except it’s Red ?

[@John50129]

For your information: The Red Wolf is native to the eastern United States.

[@latenighter1965]

Thanks. I was going to say that. We have a whole reserve "zoo" in PA.

[@45035]

I did have to replace the O rings ,but other than that it`s fine.

[@stuartsurkitt2585]

at about 4.45 you say the trigger is releasing the hammer. I didn't think the gun had a hammer as it is electronic.

[@4uafunguy]

Hi, my daystate RW threaded barrel insert popped off my barrel when shooting. Have you ever heard of that? Thanks

[@jorgegranadillo9193]

Great video and I have a question for you what scope do you recommend me to buy for that rifle? Or which one are using in there.

[@blarza007]

Hi in a nutshell Redwolf or crown for target shooting accuracy

[@coimportsa1]

Awesome videos! What chrono are you using? The one mounted on the jobby gorillapod. Looks awesome. Is it accurate?

[@g-mc4507]

It's still a gun..... and I'm buying one.

[@experienceprecision5406]

While your at it pick one up for me sir lol. Congratulations when you purchase please do a review I'll definitely watch it.

[@davidstorton910]

At 2499.00 quid, pick one up for me too

[@Fruityfrog1]

I'm picking up one as well. It takes about 3 months to get one if your normal shop does not normally stock Daystate. The Red Wolf Black laminate (as it's called) cost's approximately £1990. The Rosso (mostly red laminate and is a limited edition) cost's approximately £2500.

[@daytonwhittle7592]

Daystate red wolf is good gun i got mine

[@roadwarrior1459]

I ordered a laminate wolverine R hilite last week. Now I'm not sure whether to cancel it and get a red wolf 😩

[@agcb8969]

Hi, great video. What is the speed (fps) of the first shot at full air load? thanks

[@Sertao2013]

Is this the gun that you can just change the barrel and use a different calibers or is that the FX guns ?

[@vonsauerkraut]

yes but how much money will you have to part with.

[@gonerydin4225]

US $3500 MSRP

[@experienceprecision5406]

$2300.00 U.S. then your scope$$?.

[@davidstorton910]

In the UK 2499.00

[@edcrus]

I paid 3k for mine.

[@johnconley9966]

“Your so crazy fool” You are funny sir. My favorite air gun show.

[@MW_1981]

Are you going to be testing the new Wolverine R any time soon? Electronics don’t do it for me on Airgun’s. Thanks

[@daystatesniper01]

I would still put my Theoben .20 sub 12 up against any of these "Elecrtostates" any day

[@russtatt]

Er, not the sort of comment you're expecting Giles, but, liking the shades mate. What make and model bud ?. I hate 'em with full frames.

[@ounkhamphomvihane9734]

what will happen to the air rifle if the battery ran out in the field? do the air rifle still able to shoot?

[@henrikhalby6584]

Damn nice review again - we are not counting in the "Elton John" part - That made me blind for a short while. Thats like when grown up men play with big plastic animals in a swimming pool - Yes that image will never leave me *sigh* But nice work on this review - Thanks a ton

[@steviesbadtv]

Can I ask why you shoot lead pellets. Why don’t you use the prometheus Pellet...!! 😈✌🏼

[@richardpaynedrlandscapes711]

Hi Giles great review mate, I’m looking to get an high powered.22 what would recommend between the red Wolf or fx crown? Best regards Richard

[@michaelb.42112]

Oh my word, Bond. James Bond.

[@rudymsmith]

The Red Wolf does in fact exist. Here in the USA... it is an endangered species. Of recent, wolf has been inter-breeding with coyotes and feral dogs resulting in a new species of sorts called a coywolf. google that.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

Iv got to say , it almost seems unfinished , I think the airwolf is still the better of the two, the battery charger just isn’t good enough

[@sameertariq9201]

giles plz can u also do the review of diana out law and spa p15 plz

[@VinceSamios]

Been watching you for a while, this production value is incredible, well done. Who do you use? I'm looking for someone.

[@ounkhamphomvihane9734]

i love this airgun it look nice

[@troyemmanuel3985]

Are you selling second hand 🖐️

[@lalrinawmamarch1814]

wish i have one of those someday😱😱😱

[@lalngaihawmahnamte1720]

Haw many price

[@zamaHmar-o8t]

Do this rifle function without the electronic devices

[@wesleight]

You da man at 2:22

[@allanwind295]

Giles, what is your take on this vs the Crown (or Impact)?

[@edcrus]

My .22 Redwolf is shooting neck and neck with my Crown. I have taken pigeons out to 200 yards with them and out to 150 to 175 do it consistently. My Crown with the 700mm Slug liner shooting NSA slugs house sparrows are consistently hit at 200 yards. I will say this my .22 Redwolf is my most accurate .22 at 50 yards with my Impact X 700mm pellet liner shooting JSB Monsters at 52ftlbs is my most accurate 100 yard gun and then the Crown or Impact X with 700mm Slug liner are both absolutely usable 200 yard guns. I've taken prolly 100 crows between the Crown and Impact with 700mm Slug liners and NSA slugs at between 230 and 270 yards with a hit to miss ratio of about 75% hits, 20% misses and 5% hitting them after a ricochet from it hitting right in front of them and skipping up and killing them. But the trigger on the Redwolf is something of beauty... Think a AA S510 or a FX Crowns trigger is superb? Well they are UNTIL you shoot this gun... It's trigger is the finest trigger ive ever shot PERIOD (my 20,000 dollar competition Long range Bench rest guns triggers aren't as good as the Redwolfs.) If you want a gun that out the box will shoot MOA or better at 100y this is the gun.. The Impact and Crown are both fully capable of MOA 10 shot groups or better at a 100y BUT take a lot of tuning/chrony time to get absolutely the best the guns offer... This gun is take it out the box feed it JSB 18.13s or H&N baracuda Match in the 5.51mm head size and if you do your part the gun is wholly capable out the box to shoot consistently 10 shot groups that are a minute or better at 100y and the gun is totally boringly accurate at 50y.. Anyone can shoot sub .5 inch 10 shot groups at 50y with either of the two pellets listed. The one bad thing about the Redwolf(mine atleast) it's VERY pellet picky... It will shoot single pellet size groups at 25y with pretty much any pellet... At 50y it's Baracuda Match in 5.51mm head size and JSB18.13s only and that goes for further then 50y as well.. If you wabt the gun to preform just simply shoot either of those pellets and you will be rewarded with one of the of not the most accurate 50y gun I've ever shot.

[@rodneyrice99]

Texas red wolves do exist

[@642270]

Take my money now I want one .

[@Gollammeister]

Save up for 2-3 years or win lottery damn nice looking rifle

[@chancer9965]

Can the .177 be used for field target

[@maion2005]

Giles, you reviewed the HP and the sub 12, isn’t it? And how about 50 ft-lb results? When you say you are using 18.13’s, you are using the standard power version? I’ve got an HP that simply has disgusting results with these pellets. At 25yd they are like a shotgun target. All at factory settings

[@AirgunGearShow]

Hi, if your unhappy and it sounds like something is wrong I would return it. No being with you I cannot help, but speak to your point of purchase and explain your concerns. Any JSB at 25yards should be a thumbhole or smaller group. Giles

[@AirgunGearShow]

Not being with you. Excuse my typing. 😎

[@maion2005]

Hi there!!! Mine is HP as I said. It got @ high and JSB 25,39’s 278m/s and @ mid and HN 21.14’s 268m/s. Group quite well at 25 but a disaster above this distance. Groups spreading and I don’t use moderator/silencer. JSB 18.13’s simply doesn’t work, neither 15,89’s. They are doing @ low about 250m/s. Isn’t these velocities too low? Daystate gave me the factory setup but I will only could read them when the programmer arrives.

[@maion2005]

By the way, I’m your opinion, what sounds better: standard power or HP? I’m not sure if sub-FAC and standard are the same rifle/setup since neither their website is too clear

[@maion2005]

And I would like to use most the 18.13 as you did. What part was on a standard one? When you shoot 50~100yd at the chair and pyro target.

[@montaguemonro565]

Looks amazing, i thought air rifles over 12fp were illegal in the UK, how are you able to shoot the .22?

[@montaguemonro565]

sorry i should have watched till the end haha

[@MW_1981]

Montague Monro They are ok if you have them on a firearms certificate which are issued by the police.

[@lilvfr400boy]

giles ownes a fire arms certificate enabling use of over the sub 12 ft lbs limit
