Daystate Huntsman Revere Regulated Safari

Classic sporter looks, a sleek design and a lineage tracing back to Daystate’s inception over 40 years ago: the Huntsman series is iconic and has remained a firm favorite with field shooters the world over. The latest, Huma-Air regulated Revere sets performance levels good enough to entice precision-minded target shooters too, and this has led to the development of the new Safari Edition – a Huntsman offering added practicality and versatility for field and range shooters alike. The Safari Edition features Daystate’s tactile, raised-grain wood stock. Ambidextrous and incorporating a lower-seated action that’s been a hallmark of the Huntsman’s design for years, the ‘high-grip’ advantages the textured Safari stock brings are further enhanced by stippled panels to the grip and forend. Combined with its natural camouflage look, it has all the perfect attributes for the field. However, the Safari Edition’s stock has been subtly tweaked to also accommodate the needs of target shooters, without compromising the Revere’s inherent sporter feel. A rise-and-fall cheekpiece allows perfect eye alignment for both varmint and target-styled scopes – and its comb is finished in a soft-feel rubber for extreme comfort in all conditions and shooting disciplines. The Safari stock’s forend has been shaped to suit all holds and disciplines, too, with a broader shape and flatter base to assist those preferring to shoot off a bench. Its weight-relieved construction will appeal to hunters with large permissions to trek across, though stud-points have been incorporated for those who want to fit a sling, bipod or other shooting aid. The scalloped butt is as practical as it is aesthetic, ensuring good balance in the shoulder for hunters, and making the ideal anchor if shooting off a benchrest or bean bag. Action-wise, the Safari Edition keeps all the attributes that have made the Huntsman Revere Daystate’s biggest-selling rifle: a factory-installed Huma-Air regulator, sidelever cocking – user swappable for right-hand or left-hand use – that keeps cocking effort minimal even on the high power models, self-indexing magazine with new loading gate (with a single-shot loading tray supplied for those who prefer to manually feed their pellets), probe-charging with integral rotary dust cover, shrouded match-grade barrel with threaded muzzle, adjustable two-stage trigger with manual safety catch and a tough, anti-glare metal finish.
