Announcing The New Daystate Saxon Limited Edition Air Rifle
The Daystate Saxon Limited Edition air rifle is a celebration of England! It commemorates the 950th anniversary of the end of Saxon rule and the Coronation of the Norman King William I (William the Conqueror) on the 25th of December 1066, and a line of Kings and Queens of England unbroken to this day.
The Saxon is also the launch model of the newly revised and improved Wolverine 2 model that will be released early in 2017. It’s for sale in the UK from today! US availability is not known by HAM at the time of writing, however, we suggest contacting Airguns of Arizona for details.
The new Wolverine 2 will update the current model introduced three years ago, the updated rifle features a revised valve system and new Gary Cane stock, together with other improvements that bring this popular rifle right up to date.
It also incorporates all established Wolverine safety features such as bolt open safety, anti-double-load mechanism built into the magazine indexing system, and a centrally mounted safety catch. Add to that a bolt system that can be changed from right to left in minutes by the user and you have a rifle that is fully ambidextrous as well as extremely safe.
The Saxon Limited Edition’s styling is intended to mimic colors and patterns used in the Anglo-Saxon era. It incorporates etchings and words in both Anglo-Saxon and Latin, both languages being in use 950 years ago.
The specialized finish of the Daystate Saxon Limited Edition air rifle is from one of the country’s top anodizing companies. An exclusive Huggett Moderator from Huggett Precision Products in Cambridge is also included.
There’s also a beautiful new stock design by Gary Cane’s Techwood Design studio in Norfolk. The stock is manufactured in a stunning multi-color laminate wood, expertly crafted by Minelli of Milan.
To further enhance its exclusivity, the Daystate Saxon Limited Edition air rifle comes with a valuable bespoke custom-made hunting knife. This is forged in a period Saxon langseax-style by renowned knife maker R. Harrington of Bison Bushcraft. Based in the town of Battle, near Hastings, the Bison Bushcraft foundry is just yards from the 1066 battlefield where William won his crown.
This bespoke rifle and accompanying hunting knife is limited to a worldwide production of just 150 rifles/knifes before the full launch of Wolverine 2 succeeds it in early 2017.
