So essentially.......an SDIK direct clone? lol
Albeit with what looks like a standard line as opposed to the 4mm one.
This could be good depending on price and if it allows the use of standard cylinder heads. I know some people have had issues with the SDIK cylinder head and some hop units.

Just noticed that it's only for the VSR, shame, SDiK have a much bigger market seeing as it can fit almost any popular sniper out there.

Standard 6mm macro is very, very bad planning - you don't need that sort of air volume, but it will interfere massively with people's triggers and make installing a stock CO2 and regular nearly impossible. Not sure what they were thinking there because now you absolutely are committed to having an external regulator running out through the bottom of the stock.
The positive I see is how the line is routed infront trigger properly because the SDiK ones seems a little Heath Robinson, but it works fine. Wolverine's offering seems a little more sturdy. Again though, that 6mm line means routing it through the stock into a removable regulator going to be nearly impossible given how rigid 6mm is.
Second issue I see is price: It comes in a cylinder and they will certainly be charging money for that (unlike the SDiK which is a straight drop-in to stock parts). Hm, it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Looks very cool! Looks like they've made a nice clean 4mm-6mm fitting for people who run HPA (Like myself), also looks like they've sorted the flimsy cylinder head and bolt stopper with CNC machined parts.

The Wolverine can be run on both as far as I know, Looks like it's designed for use with it's own "Wraith" Stock regulator setup. Also, It's a solenoid powered unit so it requires a battery. In regards to running an HPA tank, I have a smalll tank on my back that saves me having to swap bulbs out half way through a game. I know it;s not very "Sniperish" but some games I'm rapid firing as much as I can do! I'm actually waiting for my Tanaka to turn up which is for a completey different kind of game play but my VSR SDIK can now hold it's own against most opponents!

Aye, it can, but you can't fit that 'Wraith' CO2 unit into the stock as removing it to access the bulb or to adjust it would be impossible with the line connected (and folding the line like you can with the SDiK is impossible as it's a 6mm macro). That makes it damn near impossible to get a clean finish like you can with an SDiK. I mean you can't even tell that mine has an SDiK kit in it from the outside. HPA sounds good though, but I'd have just thought most people would prefer a more manoeuvrable sniper rifle as changing hands is quite easy to fire around trees. How do you find having a tank and line?

For the first few games it was a bit cumbersome, however I realized that if you put the tank in a belt pouch it hangs low and the line gets in the way. I've now got a Viper Lazer pack (Backpack) so the line is higher and doesn't snag on branches and twigs. It takes a bit of getting used too, I still have the wuick release so if I want to swap to a pistol I can still do that!

I think SDIK is still the winner, tried and tested, no battery, easy CO2 in the stock, cheaper, simple drop in too.

I'd agree that the SDiK does look better on paper simply because of the price. The Bolt brings nothing new to the table except a fairly reputable brand, but Mancraft have already proven that they can make a quality product so that's a little moot.
Plus there's the whole dumb grip line thing.

The battery would be my concern too, a lipo potentially leaking into the guns internals or being a pain in the ass to change etc
