With classic sporter looks, sleek design and a lineage that can be traced back to the inception of the company, Daystate’s Huntsman series is one of the most iconic lines the airgun world. Often copied, but never bettered, the Huntsman remains one of Daystate’s best-selling models. Now, though, with the sidelever Revere model and the option of a truly ambidextrous Safari Edition the Huntsman has got even better!
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS OF THE HUNTSMAN REVERE AIR RIFLE
There has been a Huntsman in the Daystate range since the start of the company over 40 years ago, and while it’s style of a sleek sporter is common across the years, each of the seven distinct versions brings with it another progression in this time-honoured line-up.
The Huntsman Revere is the first Huntsman to have a sidelever action. Sidelever actions are especially popular with shooters of higher-powered air rifles because the system greatly reduces cocking effort. Further developments of the Huntsman’s hammer and valve system, along with the inclusion of a HUMA-Air Regulator, move the rifle into modern target rifle levels of performance. The Revere offers up to 40 ft/lbs of muzzle energy (in .25 calibre), with high-power performance up to 18 and 30 ft/lbs also available from .177 and .22 models respectively.
