Matt_ Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) So I went into my local rfd to look at chopping in my bsa hornet .22 for an r-10 in .177.... Walked in looked at the r-10 they had on the shelf but was massively over shadowed by a daystate mk3, I was taken in by its stunning looks and the 4-16x56 leapers scope on it, expecting it to be .22 and my hopes ruined, I looked closer and it was .177... Happy days and she come home with me. Edited March 2, 2014 by Matt_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secretagentmole Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Make sure you charge it every 2 weeks, even if you do not use it! Damned nice rifles. Here is mine with friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I have the same gun so a couple of tips. Charge to 180 for best consistency and point the gun downwards when you cycle the mag if you can-sometimes a pellet drops backwards from the mag and jams the action. Don't worry too much about charging the batteries-overnight once a month is plenty and its a good idea to download the manual. Air Arms field seem to work well and buy/make a probe to push the pellets into the mag or buy the modded mag. Don't pay DS prices for servicing or battery replacement when the time comes-find a factory trained gunsmith and let them do the job for a fraction of the price. Oh-and enjoy the electric trigger-its sublime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Very nice mate, you're right to sound chuffed...... I just love the snug fit of a thumbhole stock, I have one on my s400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
