Overview

The Daystate Red Wolf is a high-end electronic pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle produced in the United Kingdom by Daystate. Built around the company's Map Compensated Technology (MCT) electronic firing valve and an LCD control display, it delivers exceptionally consistent shot-to-shot velocity across selectable high, mid and low power settings. The rifle features a fully shrouded carbon-fibre barrel, sidelever cocking, an 11-shot rotary magazine in .22 calibre, and a sculpted ambidextrous laminate stock with adjustable cheekpiece and buttpad, making it a favourite for precision target shooting and hunting.

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.
