Description
The Daystate Huntsman Regal XL combines all the elements of a fine, traditional sporting air rifle in a lightweight, compact design that’s a joy to shoulder, whether you’re out in the hunting field or on the competition range. Classic English styling complements beautifully-carved, Italian-crafted walnut woodwork which cradles a solidly engineered - yet remarkably lightweight - action. Despite its diminutive size, the Regal contains all the features airgun shooters have come to expect from a rifle that carries the famous Daystate logo. Courtesy of its Harper patent slingshot hammer and titan valve system, the Regal is capable of performance levels which have never hitherto been achievable on a mechanically-driven PCP. This results in a much greater shot-count and even more efficient power delivery. Nothing has been left to chance on the Regal, from its fully-shrouded match-grade barrel to its solid breech block, which comes fitted with Daystate’s proven 10-shot rotary magazine. If you prefer not to auto-load, this can instantly be replaced with an optional single-shot tray that allows direct-to-barrel loading. The rifle has been fitted with a pressure gauge to clearly indicate the remaining air status, and re-charging is a quick and easy operation courtesy of the standard snap-fit filling system, neatly concealed behind a pull-off protective cover.

Received my Regal XL a few days ago.
Beautiful rifle, very elegant!
Superb accuracy and AOA's customer service has been Super.
Packing was extremely good...the piece in pristine condition.
I was a little disappointed however that for some unknown reason
the moderator has been attached so it can't be removed by hand.
A muzzle thread saver was enclosed with the rifle, but the moderator is really hard attached! That is disquieting to say the least!
I can't fathom why this was done...ocational cleaning of the moderator is something that should be done and that attachment should be only hand tightened!
The rifle is plenty quiet as is but I'm at a loss to explain this practice.
I know Daystate is a British company and they have airgun power restrictions, but I don't think they follow this practice of "gluing" on the moderator to the muzzle.
I am quite sure we have no such requirement here in the US.
I love this rifle...it's everything I expected from Daystate, but I am not pleased thay my rifle has been "glued together!

English Perfection
If accurracy were a disease , this gun is infected. I have been wanting a British made pcp for a good while i looked over Airarms , Daystate and Brocock . And the Dagstate huntsman keeps coming up . This gun just has it all . Light wieght , good unrevulated shot count , and that infectious accuracy . This gun is right up there at the top of my favorites . Im glad i chose it . If you want one you wont regret it .

Yes, it's THAT good
Given the price, had very high expectations for this rifle when I purchased it. Several tins worth of pellets later, I'm here to tell you it's exceeding those expectations. Have recorded several shot strings with 10.65 grain pellets (straight from the tin unsorted), always getting 50+ shots with less than 3% velocity variation per fill (starting just under 200BAR), averaging ~850 fps. Accuracy is fantastic, and the rifle handles like a dream. The moderate cylinder size & starting pressure make it very easy to fill by hand pump. Trigger is so good it's spoiled me on other triggers that I used to think were just fine. I demand consistency in a rifle, & will quickly move on from one that doesn't provide it... no problem here. Hits the same mark every time I pull it from the case, one tin to the next, no matter the fill pressure so long as it's in that 50+ shot string area (scope & pellets matter here too, of course... MTC Mamba Lite, H&N Baracuda Match in this case). All of this out of the box; no tuning, fiddling, or aftermarket parts required. The only "con" worth mentioning is the lack of sling attachment points- easily remedied, but worthy of factory installation given that it's, well... a huntsman!
Overall... Worth. Every. Penny.

Top Notch
Accuracy beyond my highest expectations is what this gun delivers. After sighting in the scope I have exterminated all the pests around our house in just one week. I had a .177 Crosman Nitro Fire previous to this gun. It was loud, powerful, but accuracy was sporadic. I researched for a year. All the videos on Daystate were positive and glowing with praise. I now own one. My son-in-law who knows his stuff could only say, "wow, that is an amazing gun." I get about 80-100 shots before reaching the low air/red zone of pressure. I can pump it up with a hand pump in about 5 minutes. I would buy one again in a heartbeat. The walnut stock is something I have to touch over and over. I could not be any more satisfied.

The Best of the Best
I just want to thank you for sending me the rifle of my dreams. This one is the nicest rifle I have or will ever own. I wanted a high end rifle that looks the part, shoots the part, and I didn't have to work on to make it that way. Well this one does all the above and does it with grace. I can only afford one and you guys nailed it. I wish I could remember who I talked to on the phone, he said I would be happy with a 22 for what I wanted it for. Well he was right. I could not be happier. taken pest out to 80+ yards in the wind with it. When the wind is calm 100 yards is not out of the question. This thing is spot on, all I have to do is figure the range and the wind correct and the rifle will do it's part.
Thanks again

Best High End, High Shot Count AG Ever
Purchased the Daystate Regal XL in .22 Cal. a few months ago, this is one of the best Airguns I have ever shot. It will shoot Dime Sized groups at 50 yards all day long, at 25 yards it is 5 shots in one tiny hole.
Shot Count is 50 with 15.9 grain JSB's filled to 220 bar. With an average of 877 FPS and no POI drop even out to 40 yards. Shoots 15.9 grain JSB and 18.1 grain JSB with Dime size groups out to 50 yards.
Light Weight very balance, it just perfect, you cannot find a better Airgun around.
