DELTA WOLF RISING!

July 2020

Airgun World

Part II of the editor’s exploration of the most ambitious project in Daystate’s history

After last month’s overview of the development of the Daystate Delta Wolf, the natural follow-up is to thoroughly explore what it does and how it shoots. In normal times, that would be a review and field test, but of course, these are not normal times and even if I were able to leave the house and test a new rifle over a chrono’ down at the range and out in the field – which I am not – Daystate are not able to get a gun to me because they have been closed down under quarantine restrictions.

Staff are working or furloughed safely at home and so are unable to manufacture and send out a sample, but in the spirit of whetting the appetite for what will be hitting the market shortly after the manufacturing and assembly factories reopen, Daystate has been sharing details of pre-production test guns and data projections. This is something they absolutely would not normally do because it shows the rifle in an unfinished state, but I have assured them that our readers will understand that conditions are unprecedented and that they’d appreciate the update on this exciting new rifle, which has to be one of the most significant airguns launched in 2020, even if it is a few months later than planned.

NO-WAIT WISH LIST

The Delta Wolf brings a whole wish list of technologies that Daystate wanted to incorporate, some of which go back years. A more cautious company might have introduced each piece one by one, but after 12 years of highly successful electronic rifles, the team at Daystate really felt they knew what to do and how to do it, so in the end just got on with it.
