- In this video I talk about my Daystate Red Wolf. I guess this is a review of some sorts?
Having shot the gun a lot in recent months I decided to make a video where I talk about things I have discovered about the gun.
Please feel free to ask any questions you might have. - Спорт
Love ❤️ to see a I capacity mag like the FX guns be a huge improvement
Fantastic explanation on this subject.
Thank you Andy.
Informative video Chris, we have 2 Midnights, Jan 21 purchase / September 20 build, both with the GCU 2.0 both have the 13 shot mags, both in excess of 8,000 pellets each & performing in all weathers very well, its adviseable to condition the battery monthly, good shooting & keep us up to date with the guns progress
You have excellent taste! Please can you tell me, can you double load the 13 shot mag? This sometimes happens when out people have used my other guns.... And I really like that you can't do this on the RW. Also, have you tried the Delta wolf?
@@southwestshooters Hi Chris, Yes you can double load with the 13 shot, its a pain in the neck, its a concentration thing !!! you get excited by the accuracy & before you know it you,ve blown your next shot, not had my hands on a Delta as yet
Beautiful rifle. I love it.
You have excellent taste!
Great casual and informative review. No drama😁
Was wondering if you have had a chance to shoot an FX Impact MK3 and how they compact.
I am looking at both as are others I’m certain. The Delta Wolf , while beyond state of the art is not something in my choice mix. Looks like it has a smart phone taped to the butt stock and while a great accurate hum just not for me
Hello, I can't offer any significant insight on the MK3 or the DW as I have not shot either of them! I would LOVE to try them both, but as they are new guns I don't think I will be able to find a pre-owned one to have a try with for some time. Please consider subscribing if you enjoy the content! Take care.
Did the Polo challenge with my boy today at 15m .. and the little so and so only went and got it through one ... great vids by the way
Awesome! Well done SSR junior! What gun were you guys using?
@@southwestshooters thanks , he is well happy with the shot .. we have a gamo GX40 in .22 with bi pod and a vector 6-24x50
@@stainlesssteelrat2821 excellent work! That's a great rig.
@@southwestshooters Im really impressed with the group sizes the gamo is capable of .. not had the chance to stretch it out at the range yet but so far im really impressed for a mid range rifle
You say it feels digital. That is because it is. The trigger and the cocking mechanism use microswitches to operate them. It’s not witchcraft, but it’s pretty close. I have the Wolverine R, which has a good solid mechanical feel to it. I have changed the single shot tray, to Rowan engineering flip out unit. It is so much easier to load than using the tray, which I found very fiddly to use and needed care when loading. It doesn’t help if you’ve got sausage fingers LOL. 😂 I personally think that being able to change the power setting at a touch of a button very useful. especially if you are using the rifle for close quarter pest control, in Barnes etc. it would be nice if all regulated PCPs had this ability. So I personally see this as a major plus point and not at all redundant. After all the Red Wolf is so much more than just a plinking rifle. 🙂👍
Hi just looking at some older vids the red wolf .177 sub12 what power setting are the mid & low I only say this because some time it can be better when target shooting and hopefully get more shots !! 👍
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Could you do a quick recap on the menu again please and zoom out to view safety and lever position. I’ve just got a red wolf and I’m having senior moments, can’t access anything other than changing mag setting.
very useful thanks as im looking at one currently... still undecided
What else are you considering? I have yet to shoot anything I like as much.
@@southwestshooters FX Impact mkIII
@@southwestshooters ive seen a few other reviews that state the barrel securing bolts make the barrel unstable and it can easily be flexed?
@@jmanhuntley not experienced this personally...
@@jmanhuntley I'm not convinced by FX guns. Ultimately you need to try both, but FX always feel lower quality and seem to develop many problems.
Please provide more explanation behind your comment about preferring the Pulsar. How does the Pulsar compare to the Red Wolf in accuracy, weight balance, etc. I am torn between getting a Pulsar or Red Wolf for HFT and benchrest in the US. Thank you.
Dear sir, in terms of accuracy there is no difference at all. As far as I am aware the internals of both guns are identical. So the accuracy is the same in both guns. I am not someone who really stands up and shoots too often, but I can hit things stood up...I shoot 95 % of the time from a bench, and both guns work well for this. I like the look of the Pulsar, I think it is one of the coolest looking things ever made. I love the look of it. You will like both guns! Well, that would be my guess anyway. I would honestly suggest the Red Wolf for what you are looking for, but, if possible, I would try both of them and make your choice! If there is anything else I can help with please fire away.
I have now had my first PCP gun, a BSA Ultra CLX .177, which is a great gun, for a week. It has got the 12 shot magazine. Now I'm wondering about your remark that single shots are more accurate than ones fired multi-shot. Is it a frame of mind, where you are more deliberate in the process? Thinking about not wasting the shot, that you lovingly placed in the breach. Today I received a Hill pump with the airdry and was surprised how easy, as long as you paced yourself that someone with an OBE ( over bloody eighty) could fill it to the 235bar.
I think it is generally recognised that the tray provides better groups than mags. There are several references to this on the channel, check out the videos where I demo the s400 and the fwb, both single shot pcps. I also test the theory using my redwolf. I can't guarantee that the psychology doesn't play a role, but it is generally recognised from speaking to people. I am not sure if a tray for the CLX exists.... Please consider subscribing if you enjoyed the video in any way!
@@southwestshooters Thank you for the reply. I'm still puzzled as to how a single pellet thinks it's different from one in the barrel from a magazine. See no reason to not sub as I have enjoyed a lot of your videos. What did you think about my comment on the Hill pump? Best Dave
Every electronic device I own has a working life, and they all seem to fail after a year or two. I wonder how much it will cost the consumer when the electronics fail on this gun.
Thanks for the review, its a beautiful riffle
Good question! It is an awesome gun. Electronic devices I have had for a long time...My Bose speakers, Game Boy, PS3....they can last!
hi chris it is lottie that really is a wonderfull gun
Dear Lottie, thank you for taking the time to comment on my video! Yes. I really love this gun, its the best one I have ever used! I'm yet to find one I like the feel of better than this. Take care!
Thanks for the casual talk about the Red Wolf - it gives me a bit of a feel for what the rifle is like. I'm about to buy my first Daystate rifle (.22 caliber, 35 fpe Red Wolf) without ever having handled one. Should be interesting to compare to my other (Weihrauch and FX) .22 caliber PCPs. Cheers!
You are very welcome.
Hank , so how does it compatriot yourOther PCP’s? Is your FX a gen 1,2,or3?
Lots of us looking at the Gen 3 vs Red Wolf and Delta Wolf. Big cost diffrencest
@@TheOverlyHackeled I changed my mind about the Red Wolf. The main reason I was looking at Daystate was that I had developed a problem with my right (shooting) eye and needed a PCP that was left-handed or ambidextrous. Being used to my Impact MK2 where I can easily tune the airgun for 13 to 25 grain pellets (12 to 45 fpe - or more if I want) I was surprised that the Red Wolf was not tuning-friendly and required an expensive accessory to make adjustments. The local Daystate supplier recommended not to try to re-turn the factory settings that the choice was a regular rifle shooting 18 grain pellets (35 fpe) or a HP version for 25 grain pellets. I found that too restrictive especially when the preferred pellet may be out of stock and backorder for months. I briefly considered the Wolverine R and the RAW HM 1000X LTR but they both required almost totally disassembling the rifle to make adjustments so that disqualified them as well. I accept that the manufacturers do an excellent job of tuning the airgun to a specific pellet but feel that current technology (pellets and slugs) requires that the user be able to make changes as needed - small adjustments can make a big difference in accuracy. After much deliberation I purchased a .22 caliber FX Crown MK2 and am very pleased with it. On top of being adjustable, it is accurate, light weight and gets well over 100 (33 fpe) shots per fill. The Gen 3 is a very interesting PCP, I did consider it but I'm happy with my Gen 2 and wanted a more traditional rifle like the Crown. I look at the Gen 1 as a (pure) pellet rifle, the Gen 2 as a pellet and slug rifle and the Gen 3 as a slug and pellet rifle. The Gen 2 is ideal for my application, it has enough power for me to experiment with slugs but it also shoots pellets extremely well. IMHO, the Impact is easily a more versatile and capable airgun than the Daystate Red Wolf. The Delta Wolf has potential, I guess, it's not my type of airgun... too many gadgets. I do love my PCPs but last week I got a Weihrauch HW30S and am totally enjoying its simplicity and calm shooting cycle. Opposite extremes eh? Cheers!
Great review from a shooter instead of a paid salesman...
Thank you for taking the time to comment on the video Andy. Your s200 is going to feature in a future video..... Its a wonderful rifle.
@@southwestshooters excellent...I no it’s in good hands.
Got mine the other day and was over joyed to find out it had a 13 shot magazine.
The relevant words for all of us, "I shoot, and I'm happy".
Is the Red Wolf more accurate than your HW100?
Yes Sir. The red wolf is one of the best guns to make the market. Is it worth twice the price? Perhaps not, but it is a personal preference. I prefer the RW, and one of the reasons is its more accurate.
@@southwestshooters Thats a bold claim as the HW100 is no slouch!! (meaning that in a sincere way!) I have a 100 but I'm seriously looking at a RW.
@@formidable38 you won't be dissatisfied! The RW is the best gun I have ever used!
I’m sure it’s a 480cc bottle 😊
Yes. My bad. Thank you.
You spent the day shooting 300 pellets? Against what?
Targets.
I have problems with daystate company could never buy any product from them while they have the current management .I have a Renegade and pulsar both good bits of kit i prefer the renegade. 177
Pleased to hear that you like those guns. Why do you prefer the Renegade over the Pulsar?
@@southwestshooters renegade11 6 ft pulsar 10.9ft. renegade more accurate out to 50 m
Ooh look a bluewolf, 😂🤣👍
