These seem almost to good to be true.
Can somebody tell me what the weight of a .22 caliber gun weighs without a scope?
And how is the side-lever cocking? Smooth?
Will regular size Predator PolyMags fit in the .22 magazine?
And has anybody tried PolyMags to see how well they do?

Thanks
Ray

My .22 weighs 6.8 almost 6.9Lbs

Yeah Dan what manner of place is that? Looks like a resort or model of a small town with the Jail and all. And are those geese real? What you guys shooting at anyway? What a setup!

I had cancelled my DAR .25 order last week because the RV needed a new fridge. After the replacement was done it became apparent that there was enough left in the budget to go ahead with the DAR .25.
I placed the order for the .25 and two extra mags at around 6:30 this morning. At around 9:30am I received a call from Ryan. We completed the process and the order was placed and confirmed. At 10:55 I got the e-mail that the gun had been shipped along with tracking number. Tracking is not available at UPS yet, probably because they haven't picked the package up yet.

Mine on the way too....supposed to be here Monday

Ryan said they had a surplus of .25 already quality checked and ready to ship. I didn't ask about the other calibers.

It's too bad, that someone didn't start a poll as to what caliber they ordered for the DAT Gen 2 series...........

So far I have the following tally.......

But a lot of the guys don't mention the caliber etc

17 cal = 3
22 cal = 5
25 cal = 6

Tia,
Don

My .177 is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Received my discovery scope yesterday. Can anyone guess what I'll be doing this weekend!!!

For the hunters out there that appreciate the confidence of the first shot being on target, here's a single cold shot from each my .22 and .25 after sitting idle for a week:

The circles are the size of an aspirin. I can assure you I was disappointed that I missed with the .25 because I know I blew the follow through but I want to present an honest example. However even with the slip-up, that's still a dead trash panda.

The DAR looks like brilliant value for money. Expecting easy adjustable tuning would seem like expecting too much. I emailed DAR to ask about detuning the .177 for basement target use. I got this reply from Randy M:

Quote

it is possible to tune your regulator for your desired use. I must also inform you that tuning the regulator requires you to dissemble the air reservoir. Thus voiding your year warranty.

He did not mention reducing hammer spring tension, or any other way of reducing FPE. I presume that also exists, but may not be sufficient, without a regulator adjustment, to reach perhaps 12 FPE.

Does anyone have info about how easy it is to tune the DAR Gen 2?

As far as in-tube regulators go, I found it easy to get to it. Just back out the degassing grub screw to evacuate the tube of pressure, unscrew the end cap and you can see the regulator. Thread in an M4 screw into the regulator and grab the screw to pull it out. The pressure adjustment is just a simple movable valve seat on the end of the regulator body. Thread it in to reduce the setpoint or out to increase it. There are no graduations though so it will be a trial and error affair. I have no idea what the bottom end of the adjustment range is.

The hammer spring preload is super simple. Just turn the cap at the back of the receiver. It has two holes for a spanner wrench, but a sturdy pair of tweezers or in my case a small pair of needle-nose pliers got the job done.

I'm pretty sure I shot the nose off a lizard at 43 yards with Jason's DAR my last visit.
I've shot the DAR II pre-release in several states and in several flavors.
I've shot the ones that came with the worst barrels you ever want to encounter!
That was a big part of the delay and Ron made sure it was corrected!
(Not gonna post much about arriving at his place very early in the morning and seeing him in his skivvies)

This was early in the testing. Ron gave me several examples to shoot at about 30 yards.
All shot great but I asked a question. "Do you have a stock version that I can compare?"
"Yep!" Was his reply. And he brought one out.

You don't EVER want a version like that! 30 yards and I was lucky if it was a 4" group!
And I use the term group loosely! I probably could have done better with my eyes closed!

As I talked with Ron and had the chance to shoot the DAR II at 30 yards I asked the final question.
What can it do at 100 yards? That is where I got a .25 to long range test.
It took awhile to get that test .25 but I will confirm it will hit the bottom of a beer can at 100+ yards easy!

Matt (Insanity) Has that .25 DAR now as I don't have the time to really play with it as much as I'd like.

Mike ,and Charlie that is my dads place that he built a western town in Battle Ground Washington , its pretty cool place ,and makes for the ultimate shooting gallery when we set up all the targets all over BOOM TOWN ! glad I wasn't hanging out at the hotel cause there was a lot of lead flying around that place LOL ! ! !

..... dad passed away 7 years ago ... but we still have the place ...

I have a new NOE mold .22 20g hunter , I casted well over 2000 pellets the last couple days ... they shoot pretty good in the DAR ...

I can attest to Jeff's reptilian sniping prowess. I was shooting in the same general vicinity at the time and suddenly spotted something fall through the periphery of my field of view. "What was that?" Jeff trekked down and dug in the grass and found it. We're not talking an iguana, it was a little green lizard with a head about the size of a pencil eraser. At least I think so based on the size of the rest of the lizard. Not much to aim for at 43 yards.

Alright you enablers ....I returned my Gen 1 on the recall and have been waiting for like forever. Finnaly gave up and got the Avenger in 25 - nice rifle, no problems and like it a lot. But, it's not the DAR so last night ordered a Gen 2 (.25 cal) as a combined birthday/Christmas present. Now waiting for the phone call
