    Up until this point I have always shot springers. It's amazing at the tight groups this gun can produce. I bought this gun used for 700.00 US and would take it hands down to my RWS Model 54 which is also recoilless and cost 500.00 new.

    I found that my Harrier was very out of power when i bought it, it was throwing .177 pallets at about 10ft.lbs only. After porting the transfer port and replaced the hammer spring it was firing pallets at 17ft.lbs. Now i can take of birds at 40 meters and it is still shooting accurately. The only thing that push me back from this gun is it's weight but overall this is an excellent gun.

    I have just bought the Daystate Harrier X2 .22 synthetic stock after owning a bsa lightning after a lot of research. Out of a shortlist of the Stealth,S16 & X2, the X2 won hands down. The factory silencer is quiet, but an optional logun extra made it practicaly silent. For either target or hunting, the X2 is the easiest rifle to handle. I found both the Stealth & S16 are uncomfortable to hold. After the initial setup in the shop it only took 10 shots to zero the rifle at 35/40yds.after that the ...

    The Daystate Harrier X is a well made gun, more accurate than I could ever dream of becoming (hole in hole at 30 rested)I found the 10 shot mag useful but didn't like removing the two screws to replace it with the single shot tray.
    So I designed my own magnetic tray to fit without using tools, and it looks very well and is practical and fast to change between single and multi shot in seconds.

    Bought the Daystate Harrier X (thumbhole walnut option in .177) and this gun is stunning. Shooting out to sixty yards it can produce 1" groups; the two stages is fully adjustable, has a good safety catch, a quick fill bottle, a totally dead firing cycle, highly recommended.

    I owned a Daysate PH6. The accuracy was superb. I also own a stealth and the accuracy on this is also very good. I have previously owned an Air Arms 310, which I felt was 'jinxed' so have now got a Daystate Harrier X in 22 calibre, 40ft lb. I have had to send it back to the manufacturer 3/4 times now due to inaccuracy, magazine fault, (hence 'O' rings breaking). I am currently using Bisley Magnums 5.5, have tried Heeley Magnums 5.5. I love the gun even though I have had problems with it, e. ...

    I bought this .177 Harrier X2, in a Mk3 F.T stock to replace a Steyr LG100 Hunter, (see my review). The decision was down to poor balance & finish of the Steyr.
    My X2 matches the Steyr on accuracy, producing 10 shot groups of 4mm c-c @ 30yds, extending out to 40yds they open out to 6mm c-c.
    Consistency is good considering it has no regulator. Average velocity is 787.78fps over 65 shots using Daystate F.T pellets. The average deviation is just 6.4fps with an extreme spread of 24fps over the fu ...

    Having only used a spring gun and shotgun previously I borrowed a couple of different pneumatics to try out.
    I decided on the Daystate Harrier X due to its sturdy feel and the fact that I was hitting and killing the rabbits that I was aiming at.
    I find that as a hunting rifle the 60 shot capability is more than adequate for an evenings shoot and have been extremely satisfied with the rifle.

    I purchased a 35fp .22 cal Harrier X from AOA just recently for hunting and general target practice. On top is mounted a Bushnell 4200 Elite 8x32 scope on BKL mounts.

    This is my first pcp and it has been more than 35 years since I have owned an airgun of any type (my last airgun was a Benjamin .20 CO2 pistol) so my opinions on this rifle are based as a .22 rimfire shooter who has switched to air rifles.

    This was a sight unseen purchase based on conversations with AOA on my needs and wants ...

    I recently became the owner of a .22 Harrier X thumbhole. I had liked the look of it and the stated power of the X and these were the deciding factors and also the Daystate name. When seeing it for the first time it looked nice. I was a little surprised that there was no bluing on it at all. The stock finish was nice but not great (in all fairness I was told that the stock had a few nicks on it and it was the last one left) and was a little rough on this paticular one. With a little sanding and ...

    I've owned several air rifles over the last thirty years, and have kept abreast of what's new and what's good. Being a bit of a traditionalist, I've always preferred springers with a wooden stock. A friend of mine recently bought a PCP rifle. I tried it, and although it wasn't the first time I'd tried one, this time I was mightily impressed (It was an S16). I immediately set about choosing a PCP for myself.

    I scoured the net and the monthly mags for information, and eventually made my cho ...

    The Daystate Harrier X was a serious disappointment. I've had a long interest in airguns, and been the owner of a .22 HW77 (and HW45 pistol) for around 12 years so I was used to the accuracy, dependency (and weight!) of this rifle (and pistol). Because of the loud 'twang' as the spring releases in my HW, I made the move to pneumatics. I had done (what I thought was) sufficient research, and found the various reviews on this site very informative and helpful. Admittedly, there were not many f ...

    I have read the Daystate Harrier X reviews of the other people and have heard all the points mentioned a million times. I can sum up this rifle in a couple of sentences.
    I have owned over 15 spring guns from nearly every maker. I have owned pcp's - and again - well into double figures. I can say - that most pcp's will shoot approx 3/4" groups at 50 yards [with a bench rest]. All the rifles on the market seem to shoot these groups - although I found that my bsa superten was the worst for accurac ...

    A very fine sporter rifle highly capable for both the HFT shooter and the hunter. The addition of the twelve shoot magazine has transformed this gun and the ability of being able to insert the mag either left or right by only the changing of the locking pin placement is a marvelous idea. A single shot tray is also available. The rifle weighs 7.1 lbs but due to the fine balance it feels much lighter. Stock design is very good even for higher mounted scopes. The rifle is equipped with a pre silenc ...

    I have recently decided to purchase a multiple shots air rifle to add to my collection and have done much reading of recent tests on the Daystate Harrier x. Apart from the good look and that's all, it is far less superior than my Air Arms S400 on the performance side. It's such ashame and I am really regret to have bought one.
