About the Daystate Huntsman Regal
The Daystate Huntsman Regal is a British pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle built for hunting and target shooting. A traditional sporter evolution of Daystate's long-running Huntsman line, it pairs a hand-finished walnut stock with a 10-shot auto-indexing rotary magazine and a full-length shrouded, barrel that is threaded for a moderator. Offered in .177, .20, and .22, with the .22 cartridge using 5.5mm pellets, it was praised for its accuracy and refined, traditional handling.
Daystate, founded in Staffordshire in 1978, is one of the oldest precharged-pneumatic air rifle makers in the world; the Huntsman name has been a mainstay of its sporting range across multiple generations.
