Also known as: Wolverine R, Wolverine-R, Daystate Wolverine R Hi-Lite
Overview
The Daystate Wolverine R is a British pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle, a comprehensive mechanical redesign of Daystate's long-running Wolverine platform. It pairs the firm's patented Slingshot hammer system with a Huma-Air regulator to deliver consistent, highly efficient shot strings, and cocks via a smooth, factory-reversible side lever feeding a 10-shot rotary magazine in .25 calibre. Built around an aluminium action with a removable carbon-fibre air bottle and a shrouded, fully-floating barrel, it is offered in walnut and laminate stock options and in High Power (HP) configuration capable of around 50 ft-lbs of muzzle energy in .25.
