I was given a Daystate Pulsar HP as an early Fathers day present, I have not shot it yet. This is the first time I have ever used a bullpup. I finally got some pellets in that were heavy enough to shoot out of it in low power. Have more kinds on order and some Nelsen slugs too. My big worry is that I wont get along with a bullpup. Is there a maker that I can transfer the workings too either a chassis or a regular stock if I cant make the adjustment to the bullpup design. I know it is close to a Redwolf but is it close enough that I could stick it into the redwolf stock or chassis? From the looks of the stocks that come out of the factory I cant imagine there is a booming business of bad looking redwolf stocks out in the wild.
Chassis or stock for Daystate Pulsar

I have two Pulsars myself, one standard and one HP both in .22. I think you should shoot it some more and see how you feel about it after several range trips. I don’t think you will have any issues getting used to it if you give it a chance. There are some differences between a bull pup and a standard rifle that will take a little time and patience for you to get accustomed to. Once you are proficient with the Pulsar, you should be able to shoot it as accurately as about any standard rifle out there. If you decide you don’t like it after a few shooting sessions, I would check into trading or selling it to obtain something else.

DON'T think about it..!
The human body can do great things IF, you let it. If you harp on the "bullpup" idea, you'll never like it.
BUT, if you just go out and shoot it, let your body get used to it, it's really NOT that much of a difference than a standard long gun. Just bend your elbow a little more, that's about it. Beside, there's much less outer end weight to deal with.
I've got both a Renegade and a Pulsar, I like them. A little heavier than most rifles (of any sort), but again, I don't think about it, I just shoot it.

Oh I plan to try to get used to it, but every time I put the thing to my shoulder then look at the bubble level on the gun, I see that it is way off level and trying to get it flat seems to be way off level. When I do the same with a regular rifle if it isnt level it isnt far off. I cant figure out why my auto setup of the gun is so far different between the two. I have spent a few hours trying to get to the point that when I put to my shoulder its close to level but so far it isnt automatic like with a long gun.
Any hints tips tricks other than practice, practice and maybe just a little more practice?
When I setup a gun, powder or air, I set it up so that if I pick it up with my eyes closed put it to my shoulder then open my eyes not only is the gun straight up and down but my eye is perfectly looking threw the scope or down the iron sights. but with the bullpup, its always canted to the right and even making a concerted effort of thought trying to overcorrect putting to my shoulder its still canted to the right but I am looking threw the scope.. I am begining to beleave that the only way I will get to shoot the thing is to put on a bipod on a bench.

After posting I realized that I have to raise the cheek riser if I can and maybe get higher scope rings to make the adjustment. Duh.

I have a Pulsar .22 HP and had the same problem. Try adjusting the butt pad as it moves in several directions. To cure my canting problem I tilted the butt pad to the left (towards me - right handed shooter).

Sunday as long as the rain stays away I will get out to the range, but so far the weather forecast is for thunderstorms all afternoon. Unfortunatly the only days the range is open is Saturday and Sunday afternoons and for the 11 years my office is open on Saturdays so that most people can bring up any problems they have with out having to take a day off work. So Sunday is my only day I get to go to the range. I have lots of stuff to setup and only Sunday afternoons to do it. I live within the city limits and wont take a gun that isn't setup to use on my little range in town. Finally have a bunch of pellets and slugs to try out. I have a feeling the butt pad is going to get something of a workout trying to get this thing so it comes up naturally and aligns upright and correctly with a near perfect cheek weld and eye placement. I know, I know, I spent too much time trying to hit tiny little spots on paper from a far distance.
I have a wall of 4x4s measuring 4' x 8', I will only use .177 and .22 with it. I plan putting 1" osb in front of the other wood to try to mitigate damage to it. My 25 and 30 will only be range toys until it is hunting season because the last thing I want to do is wear out the wall and have a leakage outside of my property. Even osb has gotten very expensive to use as target practice, I can just imagine the local builders groaning as they hear pellets hitting the wood.

Might want to try some rubber matting. Horse stall mats have been recommended by several people and Tractor Supply sells a rubber mat also. Eventually, wood will disappear as you shoot.
As to the Pulsar, I had no trouble adapting to mine but it is a bit "different" in shooting. Give it some time.
