Daystate Huntsman Revere Air Rifle
The Daystate Huntsman Revere is a refined PCP air rifle that blends classic sporter styling with cutting-edge performance. Featuring a smooth sidelever action, HUMA-Air regulator, and a Lothar Walther match-grade barrel, it delivers superb accuracy and consistency. Available in both .177 and .22 calibres, the Revere offers a choice of a left- or right-handed walnut stock or an ambidextrous Safari stock. With a two-stage adjustable trigger and high-capacity magazine, it's the perfect rifle for both target shooters and field hunters.
Since its debut more than four decades ago the Huntsman has been the heartbeat of Daystate’s catalogue, and the latest Revere edition brings this celebrated sporter right up to date without losing any of its classic charm. Moving to a silky-smooth side-lever action, the Revere cocks with the lightest touch and cycles Daystate’s updated self-indexing magazine faultlessly, giving you fast follow-up shots whether you choose the 13-shot .177 or the 11-shot .22 version. Beneath the elegant exterior lies a HUMA-Air regulator married to Daystate’s refined hammer-and-valve system, delivering remarkably flat velocity curves and whisper-quiet consistency through the 430 mm Lothar Walther match barrel.
Two power levels are offered within the UK limit: the .177 model returns roughly 140 regulated shots from a 250 bar fill, while the .22 stretches that to around 160, each producing impeccably stable sub-12 ft lb energy and match-grade accuracy that makes the Revere as happy on a 10-metre bull as it is in a windy stubble field. A crisp, two-stage adjustable trigger encourages precise release, and the mechanical slingshot hammer design keeps lock-time razor-short for repeatable groupings down-range.
Buyers can tailor the rifle’s feel and aesthetics with a choice of two very different stocks. The traditionalist will enjoy the deep-grained, oiled walnut which has long defined the Huntsman silhouette, available in dedicated right or left-handed versions. Its laser-cut chequering and slim sporter lines balance beautifully in the shoulder for fast instinctive shots. Those who spend more time in the field may gravitate towards the Safari edition: fully ambidextrous and finished with a textured, raised-grain surface, it offers tremendous grip in wet weather, and the lightly relieved forend with flattened underside sits naturally on a bipod or beanbag. A height-adjustable cheekpiece trimmed in soft-touch rubber lets you dial in perfect eye alignment for both low-mounted hunting optics and taller target scopes, while factory-fitted stud points are ready for a sling or rear pod.
At just 928 mm overall and tipping the scales at around 2.9 kg un-scoped, the Revere remains one of the most compact and wieldy full-length PCPs on the market. The action sits low in the stock to tame muzzle flip; the shrouded barrel and threaded muzzle keep report discreet; and an 11 mm dovetail accepts rings or a one-piece mount straight from the box. A manual rotary safety positioned just behind the trigger blade is positive and quiet, ideal for careful hunting situations.
