Daystate Wolverine R C Type Forester Laminate: British Precision for Europe Shooters
The Daystate Wolverine R C Type is a regulated PCP air rifle that represents the pinnacle of mechanical airgun design. Chambered in 4.5mm (.177) and 5.5mm (.22), this compact rifle suits target shooters, hunter field target enthusiasts, and pest controllers who value shot-to-shot consistency. The Forester Laminate stock offers a distinctive green-toned finish with ambidextrous thumbhole ergonomics . A Huma-Air regulator is fitted as standard, delivering remarkable consistency and improved downrange accuracy. At Airgun Store, we supply the Wolverine R C Type to shooting enthusiasts across Germany, France, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and the Netherlands.
Technical Specifications and Performance
The Wolverine R C Type features a 200cc air cylinder that delivers up to 250 shots at 16 J in both .177 and .22 calibres. Fill pressure reaches 230 bar maximum. Overall length measures 965mm, with a 430mm barrel. Weight sits at approximately 3.5 kg unscoped. The sidelever action is factory reversible for left or right-handed operation. A 13-shot magazine comes standard in .177, while .22 models accept 11 rounds. The two-stage mechanical trigger is adjustable for weight and stage length. A bolt-open deactivator prevents firing with the action open.
Huma-Air Regulator and Sidelever Action
The Huma-Air regulator defines the Wolverine R experience. This Dutch-engineered system precisely meters air output on each shot, maximising consistency as the rifle cycles through its charge . Shooters achieve tighter groups and more predictable trajectories as a result. The sidelever cocking system replaced the traditional bolt action, offering smoother operation and quicker follow-up shots. The lever can be switched from right to left side without specialist tools . A cross-bolt safety and bolt-open deactivator provide secure handling. The magazine indexes reliably with round-nosed pellets, though wadcutters may cause misalignment.
Known Issues and Owner Feedback
Honest owner feedback reveals several recurring concerns. Some shooters report the trigger exhibits excessive creep and cannot be adjusted below 18 ounces without modification. Magazine issues occur occasionally, including centre Allen screws coming loose and gate hinge pins shifting during use . A few owners experienced pellets falling into the void at the end of the barrel shroud, requiring factory inspection . Cocking lever stiffness has been reported, sometimes caused by debris trapped internally around the cocking arm . Some second-hand rifles show evidence of poor regulator adjustments by previous owners, with anti-tamper screws cut or damaged . Pellet seating depth in the magazine affects feeding reliability.
Accuracy and Pellet Recommendations
The Wolverine R C Type rewards careful pellet selection. Daystate recommends Rangemaster Sovereign pellets for optimum performance. Owners report excellent results with H&N Baracuda FT, JSB Exact Heavy in 4.52mm, and JSB Exact Shorts . QYS domed pellets in 8.48 grain also perform well to 40 metres and beyond. One owner notes that JSB Heavy pellets perform best in their rifle. Another reports Baracuda FT and JSB Shorts as the two most accurate options. Barrel cleaning and pellet lubrication help maintain accuracy over time. Most owners achieve excellent groups at 25 metres and beyond with the right pellet.
