Daystate Huntsman

The latest succession to the Huntsman’s famous lineage, the Regal combines all the elements of a classic, English sporting air rifle. Beautifully-shaped walnut woodwork cradles a solidly-engineered – though remarkably lightweight – mechanical powerplant, providing a unique marriage of wood and metal courtesy of an action that sits lower in the stock to perfectly mimic the feel and handling of a traditional hunting rifle.

The contemporary Huntsman maintains all the features airgunners have come to expect from a PCP bearing the famous Daystate marque, from its shrouded match-grade barrel, through its snap-fit filling system and integral pressure gauge, to its solid breech block that accepts Daystate’s proven 10-shot rotary magazine. The mag can be replaced with the supplied single-shot tray for direct-to-barrel loading if preferred, too.

Courtesy of its Harper patent Slingshot hammer and valve system, the Huntsman is capable of performance levels hitherto unachievable in a mechanically-driven PCP, and higher power versions in the Regal line produce muzzle energies up to 30 ft/lbs, or 40 ft/lbs on the extended-cylinder XL model.

Indeed, it makes the perfect chassis for the latest variant – the HR Huntsman Regal. Incorporating an air regulator designed in collaboration with Dutch pneumatic specialist Huma, the HR model improves the Regal’s already consistent velocity, and extends its shots-per-charge count up to 70%.

The Regal – proclaiming its rightful accession to bear the Huntsman’s famous crown.
