evo Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) well I,ve been waiting for daystate to release there new rifle and here it is all,, I,m gutted at first sight as I,m not a bullpup fan and at £2000 for a 200 ltd edition I will certainly not be buying one,,think I,ll wait till its a proper rifle and not a pistol in a cutdown stock,,gutted to say the least atb Evo Edited January 21, 2015 by evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think it looks really cool and respect to Daystate for going with wood rather than the usual black. One thing that would concern me (apart from the eye watering price) is that scope sits a fair old distance above the bore which would make close range shots interesting. I know this is an issue on a lot of bullpups but this one seems higher than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zx10mike Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 like the concept and its good daystate are pushing development. price is harsh but they need to charge ££ to cover the experiment so fair enough.2 grand is nothing to some people so they will sell.only negative would be the fac one would have about 5 shots lol.

chrisjpainter Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 not too keen on the design looks more like a kids nerf gun I know what you mean, but it's hard to do anything else with a bullpup. Most end up looking like that really! Is it the same MCT system that's in the Airwolf and Mk4 is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sle Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Great bit of design, nice to see a change from the usual, harsh price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though, not easy on the eye is it. Shame really as I like the look of some of the less flamboyant Daystates but I'm not keen on bullpups at the best of times and that's way too Flash Gordon for me.

hoggysreels Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Daystate Liquorice Allsort .177 Not for me, but each to their own .. its certainly an alternative choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Its not designed to be practical or cutting edge-if it were then they would not limit production and demand such a high price. It is aimed at the collector or the man with small dangly parts that needs to compensate at the local shoot. Still flogging that same old dead horse magazine-when are DS going to employ someone that shoots airguns rather than drawing gun porn then sub contracting out the skilled manufacturing side, then maybe they can call themselves a Gunmaker rather than an assembley shop.

Is it the same MCT system that's in the Airwolf and Mk4 is? no chris the whole gun has been redesigned mate including all the electronics,also instead of the daystate battery as usual it is run by 3xAA,s . what the hell is that about, Bruno, the first 200 are special edition bud with the laminated stock then they are mass producing them at a lower cost , totally put off by this rifle/pistol/whatever, I,d been waiting for the new rifle with money burning a hole in my pocket, but certainly not spending my hard earned on that pistol that's for sure,,, well not unless one comes my way at a very very low price,,. £2000 for a jazzed up pistol is a total joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
