Following yesterday’s introduction, today we have more details of the new Daystate Blackwolf air rifle.
To me, one major highlight is the simplicity of the design. Fewer parts mean less reliability issues and easier maintenance.
Based on my own experience in product development, I am also strongly aware that it’s relatively easy to design a complex product using many parts. It’s much tougher to make a similar-performance model with fewer parts. That’s real engineering!
So when we take a look at the Daystate Blackwolf Air Rifle parts diagram (above), we see a simple design with – by my counting and without inside information – only around 19 O rings for the bottle gun and 22 for the tube version. (Not including any O rings inside the regulator assembly). That’s sure to please many potential customers…
Then there’s the trigger. As we can see below, it’s adjustable for first stage pull weight and travel. The same is true for the second stage. Plus there’s overtravel (travel after shot) adjustability.
In addition, the trigger post position can be adjusted, as can the trigger shoe.
In addition to a variety of wood stocks, the Daystate Blackwolf air rifle will also be available with a “tactical”, chassis stock. The photographs here are of a pre-production version of the stock, but they make clear that the prototype Blackwolf being shot at Extreme Benchrest 2024 was actually this model.
The Blackwolf will be available with a choice of 200 cc or 300 cc alloy HPA tubes. However, 480 cc and 580 cc carbon-wrapped bottles are also to be available. In all cases, the fill pressure is 3,625 PSI (250 Bar).
Of course, Daystate air rifles are known for their beautiful wood stocks. The Blackwolf certainly looks stunning with the traditional walnut stock, as we can see below.
Note that the same stock is used for both bottle and tube guns. There’s a forend extension that’s used if a tube is fitted. See the difference between the photos above and below.
There’s also a “carbon gray” – looks like black to me – version of the stock too, should you like the “stealth” look…
Another change is the inclusion of M-LOK slots in the underside of the stock, as we see below.
