Is It Worth It?!

[TriggerPlease 14]

Hello, I am about to invest in my first pcp and was completely set on getting a compatto in .177 . However, I am now very much leaning towards spending that extra £200 on a daystate huntsman regal because I've been told it will hold value more and is a much better rifle but I'm just unsure if it is worth the extra £200 (I am straight out of uni so money is definitely a big factor for me)

 

So I need your advice, is it worth spending £800 on my first pop or should I just stick with the brocock compatto? The main purpose of the rifle will be hunting/plinking with the occasional hft course.

Daystate all the way for me you can pick a good second hand kit up for about £600 that's where my money would go

[Jonjon79 13,340]

For that money, I'd go HW100 every time

 

They're accurate and reliable. Mine never let me down.

If i was going to spend £600/£800 on a PCP im with jonjon79 and would get a HW100 but of the two your swung by i wud choose the daystate

HW100 all the way mate

Stop!!

If you do even just a little research on any of the Airgun forums, you will see that both the Compatto and any Daystate have big issues.

Maybe you would be lucky as both of these should be excellent choices.

 

Have a look through Pianomans posts.

 

You will be safe with an Hw100 - check the end of the barrel first - but there was a warranty recall for unfinished barrels.

I don't think Brocock or Daystate respect their customers as much when it comes to legitimate claims.

 

Good luck with your choice. There are many good guns out there that will last a lifetime. Sadly also some lemons.

I had a look at the hw100 and shouldered it, I didn't really get on with the way it feels and much preferred the feel of the daystate huntsman regal hence why I'm swayed towards it.

Was it a thumbhole stock on the 100. If so try the sporter stock mate.

The only way to have a regal is to have it tuned by XTX air , airtech or ratworks ,that way you will get gun how it should be ,but expect to spend another £150 - £200 on a tune .

Shocking really when you just spent £800 on one
