Notes
Also chambered in .177, .25 and .30 calibre. The High Power (HP) variant uses a longer barrel and larger air reservoir to reach roughly 65 ft-lbf in .22. Power output in many markets is restricted to 12 ft-lbf to remain licence-exempt under local air-rifle law.
Background
Daystate pioneered commercial precharged pneumatic air rifles in the late 1970s and introduced electronic firing-valve technology with the original Wolverine; the Red Wolf refined this into a fully digital, LCD-controlled platform marketed as one of the most technologically advanced sporting air rifles in the world.
