    Been using my Daystate Mk3 for a year or so now and find it fantastic very accurate and reliable there are a few niggles with it though the charging port has failed twice . Its a very inexpensive part and you can get a replacement from Maplins for under £1.50 its easy to fit by knocking out the centre and unscrewing the body . The failure is I think due to the charge plug on the transformer its very chap and nasty .

    This is a very expensive gun was it worth the money I would say yes its reliable and well made . A lot of people have issues with them but if you maintain it and use it correctly it works great . I used to buy a new gun every year but with this I just love it I dont see the point of changing to the MK 4 when this is better than I will ever be . Put a reasonable scope on it and it works fine. I get about 100 shots at .177 the mag can be a pain to load but if you select the correct pellet I use accupel they just drop in others you have to push in gently to get them to sit in the mag.

    Great gun good value buy one guess there are plenty around now second hand as the MK4 will have lots of people upgrading so they can be had for a song now

    I bought the Daystate mk3 yesterday second hand along with a secondhand small magnification scope, made in Japan I might add, and a Hills pump. I got the whole lot together and zeroed it resting on top of a black and decker workmate measured out at 35 yards. Twenty pellets later I had them stacking themselves on top of each other...totally awsome. Now 35 yards is not far really, so I measured out 50 yards and pushed six 5p's lightly into the grain of a railway sleeper and knocked all six down i ...

    Five pellets to zero in, groups the size of a 5 pence at 35 yards, I have only add it for 4 days so am still testing my mk3 but it is phenomenal so far.

    Extremely accurate. Groups in 15 - 20mm on 50m range with JSB Exact (depends on the sort of the pellets).Bolt without a spring to cock, works smooth and light. Reload of the magazine is possible with a finger. FT stock can be adjusted to the operator.At least 130 even ( -1,5m/s) shots with .177 barrel loaded to 220Bar.Electric trigger - extremely quick lock time.Very little recoil - a pellet put on the rail will not move when the gun fires.English style stock - beautiful and comfy.
    Superb for H ...

    I first layed eyes on this beauty when i went to the gun shop in the summer, as soon as i got my hands on it i could tell that it was good workmanship, it felt ligher than my S200 but i later then relised it was more evenly balanced.
    I went back the following week to buy it, later on in the holidays i went FT shooting with it, that day i could hit everything, with the electronic trigger as soon as i pressed the trigger it was gone, good thing too because I'm not the steadiest of people.

    Oh my God, call heaven there's an angel of a rifle missing!

    I was getting .177 size groups at 40 yards, couldn't hear it 10 yards away.
    I can't really describe all the good points because it would take me forever, but honestly if i had £2000 to get all the stuff that this guy had on it, I would! Got to be the best gun I've ever fired.

    I could spout off all the technical doo daa about the CDT and the zero lock time, but if you are now reading this review, you have probably already heard it all, so let me tell you why I purchased the Daystate MK3 Air Rifle (superb bit of kit)!

    A few months ago the missus got me a HW97K, and in my review of that said rifle, I praised it highly. My opinion has not changed! The Weirauch is a fantastic rifle! So why did I get a Daystate? You may ask! Well, I wanted a pre-charged rifle, mai ...

    I love the Daystate MK3 rifle.

    The electronic fireing mechanism provides literally ZERO locktime. The second stage of the trigger is a delicate little "click", felt more than heard with VERY little actual movement of the trigger blade itself. It's very easy to control with no recoil. the 10 shot magazine works well.

    The only thing I don't like about it is that EVERY trigger pull sends air down the barrel. The bolt only seats the pellet and indexes the multi-shot magazine. Therefore, ...

    When I received my Daystate MK3.22 I was dazzled by the look and feel of the gun. The bluing was exceptional, as was the entire fit & finish. The first time I shot the gun was indoors on a 60yd. range. I could not get the gun to group within 1.5-2" at 50yds. I was shooting 16gr. JSB Exacts from a sandbag rest. I was also shooting the same ammo with an FX Tarantula (with a Ripley moderator) and achieving .5" groups at the same distance. To add insult to injury, when the baffles were added ...

    I received my Daystate MK3 and was very pleased with the looks of the rifle. Shooting it on the other hand was a big disappointment. Using 10.5 cp and kodiaks I got the same results. At 35 yards I got one hole groups for the first 100 shots or so. The point of impact changed with every other fill. After a lot of head scratching I finally figured it out I hope. The moderator was touching the fill tube .The moderator was lying on the fill tube with a lot of pressure. I removed the barrel ring and ...

    I got my Daystate MK3 two weeks ago. Set it up in a workmate bench range 25 yards 10 shot covered by a penny. Later on discovered that the only thing causing the rare off target shot less than 5mm was the pellet. Put good pellets in the rifle and you always get good results. would recommend to anybody its a brilliant product. save up a few months longer and buy one - you'll never regret it.

    I Got one of the first guns. Very accurate with Crosman Premiers 10.5. At full power it overpowers 7 grain pellets. But you can just set up to 14 lower power points. At 10 meters I can get one hole accuracy from the bench. Wedding ring size from the FT position. Magazine is easy to load and use from either side. Bolt action is easy since it only loads the pellet. Smoothest trigger action I have used. Overall, the Daystate MK3 is just incredible.

    I was on the waiting list for almost 6 months. When I first opened the box I thought WOW, what a beautiful gun, the workmanship of the Daystate MK3 is wonderful. The first groups were enough cool me off, they would shift about an inch at 27 yards, I found that the barrel would rest on the air chamber and would set in a new position from shot to shot. AOA explained to me that the barrel was suppose to freefloat inside of the barrel band, since mine wasn't I had to take a die grinder and ream out ...

    When I first got my Daystate MK3, I cleaned the barrel properly and sighted the scope. The gun would only shoot a group of 1.5"-1.75"@50yrds. I decided to sell the gun, but after several tire kickers and reading several dicerning reports on the gun, I thought I should figure this one out myself! I noticed that the barrel would move slightly in the barrel band. I installed a set screw discreatly in the under side of the upper barrel band hole in order to stop any vibration. The gun now shoots . ...

    I bought daystate huntsman mark3 this year and am only into shooting. It puts out at least 36ft pounds and i use only bisley magnum pellets excellent. At 40 yards can it targets like five pence pieces no problem and also use it for hunting rabbits and most of my shots are at 50 60 yards and the odd at 70 yards and am hitting 8/out 10 .pete n/ireland

    The Daystate is very accurate to 45 yds thumb hole grip which has been thought about. It is a bit heavy but i like that, i wanted a heavier rifle my other ones where lighter. being slightly heavier makes this rifle easier to hold steady. i use it for FT and hunting great rifle

    I bought this Daystate MK3 rifle and haven't regretted it one bit. Looks wise it is simply beautiful, graded walnut stock, excellent metal finishing. It is so accurate it is untrue, 110 shots / charge (.177) 150 in .22.
    It is so easy to hold and use, I use mine for hunting and is accurate way past 40 yrds.
    Electronic trigger and safety, you can even turn it off with a key ( this could stop the kids in your house using it and causing a danger )
    Daystate customer service is excellent.
