Hi everyone, my brother finally got the call and picked up his new Daystate pulsar OS this morning. First impressions of the gun was that it we very nice but the high grade walnut stock was very ordinary and I had a much nicer stock on my huntsman which was only a standard grade stock. That said, it still looked the part and it did grow on me when we got it out into the daylight. We looked it up and down and both agreed it was up to the usual Daystate standard (very good indeed!). After fitting the scope, an MTC Mamba lite with blueprint mounts, we took it to a local place where we shoot indoors at a distance of 25 yards. (the gun is a .177 sub 12 flb by the way).
We loaded the magazine which was the usual faultless design, and set a target at 25 yards. I was lucky enough to have the first go as it was still set up for a right handed shooter, my brother is a belly aching lefty (as Ted would say).
The pull on the cocking arm was just a click really and I kind of missed that feeling you get when you cock a mechanical action but still it performed well. The laser came on and was clearly visible at 25 yards. The trigger was nice, again just like a click but very predictable and light.
five shots in and I've nearly zeroed the scope. The next five shots went straight through the same hole (to be expected of course). It seemed extremely a accurate as I was wobbling about on a chair with a dodgy leg. Even without a stable seat I manager very tight groups as did my brother.
