Lovely looking guns but ……..

Can only offer my opinion on the Pulsar which I own and I know is a marmite style!I have been tempted to buy a Daystate sub 12 for hunting, but I am not sure which one would be best when value for money and general ease of use is factored in to the equation. It would mainly be used for shooting off sticks and around sheds on my farm permissions.
I like the look of a Walnut Red Wolf, but is it twice as good as a Revere?
Is a Wolverine a compromise between the two? I appreciate one is electronic and the other two are mechanical, but that doesn’t really influence me one way or the other.
I currently have a Rapid which I’ll never part with and an AGT Vixen which is a great lightweight rifle with the side lever action, but ideally I would like something that combines the strengths of both of these, but with a traditional rather than a tactical appearance. I’m currently favouring the Revere, then the Red Wolf and finally the Wolverine. I know I’ll have to see them all to see which one fits me best, but if you have owned any or all of these rifles I would be interested to hear your views.
Against the HW100 and all other mechanical triggers I have fired and used it is by far the most consistent and clinical rifle.
I've used for ratting, HFT and plinking and it is great for those.
Best of luck

Like anything, you get gooduns and baduns. Most of 'em are pretty good. Does the job for me.

Yep, Stock is nice...The right hand side is better....I'll see if i can find a photo.
I normally have a DS Airstream6 reflex on it (You can see the shading from the silicone from the internal O ring on the end of the shroud).
I was just trying it without the airstream when that photo was taken. The Airstream is now back on it and I would make sure it was on if I was going to use in the field.

There is the right hand side....Well some of it! You get the idea!Stunning stock!
Do you find it’s quiet enough without a moderator?

Yes. we've learnt that you dont like them, and take every opportunity to put them down. Believe it or not, most of them shoot well without problems, as most owners will attest.
I had two and both absolutely awful and that just the guns , as for daystate, well

On the other hand I for one am happy with the daystates I own as for the OP you'll be fine with any of the rifles on your list.
