I wondered when they were going to do an AR type weapon.

Looks like several of the FX guns, but that in itself isn't surprising as most bull-pup (?), AR style rifles do as well. If it has a drawback, it is the small magazine capacity. This said, the ability to set up a specific tune for whatever caliber or weight you're shooting, is of course unique. And I'd bet the price is too!

I read that high power version was upwards of $3500. I just about spit my teeth out when I read that.

That is in the price range I would suspect.

It remains me of the old adage... " You get what you pay for". My dad always likes Winchester products, but tolerated the others, save for Weatherby. He always thought their guns were overpriced, to be sold only to the over-rich!

That's the perfect gun for me, I think.  I love the electronics and the precision tuning capabilities without having to dismantle the gun.  Will have to see what the power looks like.


This gun could very well wind up a maintenance nightmare, too.  At $3500, I may never know...

It's cool BUT

The price is over the top!  I guess they are seeing just how much the market will bear when it comes to the price.

I also just don't want a gun of any type that depends on a battery and electronics. 

Loren, if you're a survivalist, then your statement is indeed true. However, their other electronic models have been very stable, and the batteries available, albeit on line. All of this said, this is a NEW model with a much more complex computerization and algorithms, so its viability remains to be seen.

That would be my problem with it. I can provide simple servicing for most of my airguns if they break. I do treat my airguns as prepper tools. Quiet ways to get game without drawing attention to myself or wasting firearm ammo. I%u2019d be always stressed about a fancy electronic gun failing on me and me not being able to do anything about it.

On the other hand, if the gun is just treated as a luxury item, and I could afford to drop a large chunk of my monthly budget on it as a toy, then yeah I would be fun to play with.

I generally dislike the fancy pantcy European airgun brands due to the fake-o hype machines the companies have built around them (cough cough FX). But, if I was to ever get such an airgun, it would probably be a Daystate. Some of their hype machine personalities don%u2019t turn me off as much.

Not from a  survivalist point of view so much as life of the gun.  Will it still be functioning in 10 years, 15 years?  How about 50 years for my grandsons?  At the price it should be a very durable good in my opinion.  With the batteries and electronics...not so much.  Think of all the electronic things that have gone to the wayside in the past 10-15 years let alone 20-30. 

I have firearms that were my dad's.  They more than 50 years old and still function just fine.  I have an early 70's Sheridan Silver Streak, pump it up and it still shoots.  Will we be able to say that about a Delta Wolf in 50 years? 

I'm sure that means little to Daystate.
