A UNIQUE .22 PROTOTYPE DAYSTATE EXPERIMENTAL 'MINI HUNTSMAN' PRE-CHARGED PNEUMATIC AIR-RIFLE, no visible serial number,

Provenance: The exact story behind this diminutive Daystate is not fully known but it was supposedly produced by a foreman at Daystate. The second owner was celebrated Field Target marksman Phil Denny, who wanted a lightweight rifle for his girlfriend to use on the circuit. Sadly, the original stock was cracked and broken, the one currently fitted being an exact replica made by master rifle and stock-maker Mick Dawes.
