About the Daystate Air Wolf
The Daystate Air Wolf is a high-end electronic pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle produced by the British manufacturer Daystate. A bolt-action, multi-shot repeating air rifle fed from a rotary magazine, it was one of the first electronically-controlled airguns, using Daystate's Mapped Compensated Technology (MCT) circuitry to electronically meter each shot for consistent velocity. Chambered in .177 and .22 (5.5mm) calibers, it pairs a 400cc 'buddy bottle' air reservoir with an LCD status display and a full-length barrel shroud that renders the rifle exceptionally quiet, making it a favourite for hunting and field target shooting.
The Air Wolf helped establish Daystate's reputation for electronically-managed 'e-guns', using a small onboard computer to regulate firing valve timing rather than a conventional mechanical knock-open valve.
