Gun review: Daystate Safari Alpha Wolf

Daystate is now offering its latest Alpha Wolf – the Safari Edition. Extending the appeal of the world’s most advanced PCP air rifle to serious hunters and extreme-range target shooters alike, the new Safari sports a high-grip, practical and ambidextrous textured wood stock, matched to a very classy bronzeanodised monocoque frame for maximum rigidity.

Of course the Safari Edition model still boasts Alpha Wolf’s vast array of ground breaking, high-tech features, including: a computerised and programable operating system; AVT (Advanced Velocity Technology) touchscreen display that allows users to fine-tune and customise their rifle; fast-swap interchangeable A.R.T barrel system to suit calibre and pellet/slug type; digitally-controlled HUMA-Air regulator; and an onboard chronoscope that monitors velocity throughout the rifle’s air charge.

Thanks to its modular design, components like cheek rest and butt pad are fully customisable and compatible with aftermarket alternatives.

Internally, the latest Alpha fast-flow valve has been married to new software profiles, resulting in even greater shot-to-shot consistency and significant increases in the maximum powers available across all FAC models – up to a massive 105 ft/lbs in .30 calibre.

In keeping with Daystate’s core philosophy to customer commitment, the company is making the Safari’s latest software available on a free-to-download basis for existing Alpha and Delta Wolf owners and all the firmware upgrades can easily be carried out by Alpha/Delta Wolf owners via the rifle’s DTD interface and home PC. The new valve system is also retrofittable into existing FAC Delta/Alpha Wolf models.

Available to buy from the official Daystate dealer network, price from £2400. More information on the Safari Alpha Wolf here.
