80 shot string to find the sweet spot on my new Air Ranger
Tuesday, UPS delivered my .25 Daystate Air Ranger! I have wanted a .25 for so long and was very excited to see how she shot at close range and how loud she is with the factory barrel shroud. This thing puts out some impressive numbers for not being a regulated gun. I decided to test the limits one time to see how many shots I could squeeze out of the Ranger and it surprised me and I had to call it quits early. This is an 80 shot count and with the bottle overfilled to 250 bar instead of the recommended 210 bar. I already checked with AoA and it wont harm the Ranger or the MCT to fill them to 250 bar. Judging from the numbers and the power curve, it looks like I could have stretched the shot count to 100 from the 250 bar fill. This was purely for shot count so don’t pay too much attention to the numbers like ES and SD. These get pretty tight when I pick a few sweet sports in this 80 shot string.
Here are shots 1 though 80. The Ranger didn’t really like the high fill as you can see by the low numbers but it still performs. It just makes a huge power curve. I also used the same shot string reduced the shots to see how it would perform filled to different pressures. From now on, I’ll be filling her up to the recommend 210 bar and then refilling after 50 shots.
This 40 shot string is directly from the 80 shot string but just closer to the rifle’s sweet spot.
35 from the same 80 string
30 shots of 80
20 shots from the 80 string total

I don’t even think they made Air Wolf in .25 cal.
V, you didnt get the 80 fpe version? if not then why not just get another wolf in .25
just curious is all.
looks great though.

Thats a great number of shots – and a great snap-shot of the Ranger there! So, is it loud??? I am sure its got some VOLUME to it. That Ranger sure is a sweet lookin’ rifle.
So how loud was it with the factory shroud and whose shroud is on the end?
I’ll bet the .25×25 gr. JSB’s would give a great trajectory, right in the low 900’s right where I like em! 😉 😀
The .25 is a GREAT Caliber!

Nice Varminter. Another winner…. It would be hard for 3 of a kind to
beat that pair…. Thanks for all the info and break down… Great stuff…
That’s imazing shot count too.
“V”, can she be adjusted to get up to say around 930 fps or so?

It looks to me like the Ranger has a little more power than the Wolf (.25 vs .25)
