treeman Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Daystate OOps sorry What I wanted to ask was does any body know what a regulated version of a daystate is? It cost £100 extra, is it worth it whatever it means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08shooter Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 i think the non reg daystate would be ok.i wouldnt pay the extra for the reg on an accuracy basis.i think even 15fps difference only moves pellet impact a minute distance.it will however give more shots to a fill.my mate shoots a harrier single shot in 22fac.its accuracy is astounding.its your money if it was me id go non reg.

Cyber Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Well, I have 2 Daystates. One of them is an X2 which is not regulated and the other is a Air Ranger, which IS regulated. I can only notice a minute difference between the two, where accuracy is concerned as the Air Ranger is 'slightly' and I only mean minutely (is that even a word lol) more accurate. If you are going to be using it for FT or HFT competitions then I would go for the regulated version. If you want slightly more shots per charge, then also, I would go for the regulated version. If using for hunting purposes where you are not likely to fire more shots than the gun will allow (un-reg'd) then you might aswell save yourself £100 and get that one. Another thing to remember is that a regulated gun does not have a power curve. So once you fill it, it will continue to fire on zero right the way down to 'nearly' empty and then you will notice a sudden drop of the pellet on the target/quarry. On an unregulated gun as the pressure starts dropping so will the pellet. But the un reg'd guns do have a sweet spot of normally around 50-60 shots, where they will stay on zero. Hope this helps (I explained the best I could lol!!) Oh, and also.........DAYSTATES RULE!!!!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeman Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Thanks guys, that's been really helpfull. I'm thinking of getting the mk2 sports .22, I'm only using it for hunting so will probably get the un-reg version and save the money. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_HMR Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 From the techy side of things (from my understanding which might not count for much i dont shoot air guns) Unregulated The air comes straight from the resivoir, when you pull the trigger a valve opens and allows a small amount of air out and thats the driving power for the pellet. As Cyber explained the pressure will drop after a number of shots and consequently there will be a small change in zero. Regulated Obvioulsy there is still a resivior but at the end of it there is a sealed chamber there is a valve between the resivoir and the chamber which is the reulator and allows a certain amount of air into the chamber which is always kept constant when you pull the trigger the air in the chamber drives the bullet instead of the air directly from the resivoir so power is kept constant.
