First shots with new Daystate Pulsar OS

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.
 
Hi Fearnloading, I wish it was mine but unfortunately it's my brothers. The gun was extremely quiet and feels amazing to shoulder. I'm really into bullpups and this feels better than my bobcat to shoulder. One thing I didn't like was the gold "bits" seemed tainted in some way, they may just need a good polish but the finish out of the box wasn't as good as I'd like. 

I think those who have doubts over looks and price might have a change of heart after they've shot one. It's early days but I reckon this is gunna be a gem.
 
I'd have to have another hold to determine the rifles natural point of balance but I'd say around the pistol grip. I held it in one hand on the p grip and it was nicely balanced. The weight is pushed into the shoulder and the gun seems very maneuverable and light. It will make an excellent hunter but in my opinion, the OS is far to fancy to be dragging round the field. 
 
Micbro,

First off that is one jazzy looking rifle thanks for the terrific pictures. I particularly like the gold bit on the tip of the muzzle. Question for you, is it a FAC or 12 ft/lb rifle?

As for the Mapping Slope, its the algorithm "logic" behind the GPU to calculate and control the amount of pressure to be used for the next shot. It's much more sophisticated compared to the older MCT. For example, the older MCT only measured the static cylinder pressure once; right after the last shot. The new GPU (found on the Pulsar) continuously monitors the static cylinder air pressure (before, during and after) so you it is much more consistent and accurate at controlling air use shot after shot.

Keep us posted.

As for the Mapping Slope, its the algorithm "logic" behind the GPU to calculate and control the amount of pressure to be used for the next shot. It's much more sophisticated compared to the older MCT. For example, the older MCT only measured the static cylinder pressure once; right after 30fps the last shot. The new GPU (found on the Pulsar) continuously monitors the static cylinder air pressure (before, during and after) so you it is much more consistent and accurate at controlling air use shot after shot.

Keep us posted.

From memory, Airguns of Arizona tested the Airwolf MCT and got an extreme spread of about 30 fps.

Hav'nt seen any published figures for the ES of the new Pulsar.
