Overview
The Daystate Huntsman Regal is a British pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle built for hunting and target shooting. A traditional sporter evolution of Daystate's long-running Huntsman line, it pairs a hand-finished walnut stock with a 10-shot auto-indexing rotary magazine and a full-length shrouded, barrel that is threaded for a moderator. Offered in .177, .20, and .22, with the .22 cartridge using 5.5mm pellets, it was praised for its accuracy and refined, traditional handling.
