The company that make them is based in North London, I think still uses BSA barrels, and make everything else themselves, except the imported Minelli woodwork, and the owner is free thinking enough to offer them without any anti tamper , like mine. The rear weight that some onlookers mention, is a matter of taste. The much talked about Daystate Pulsar, has been described by a magazine reviewer as having a rear weight bias... which is claimed in the Pulsars case to be an advantage.... so it must be good. It is ambidextrous. It has a magazine that nestles within the profile of the rifle, enhancing it's good looks even further and does not stick up like an after market add on and restrict 'scope height. The barrel diameter is such that, with a slightly fatter O ring inside the Daystate Reflex silencers, you can use them. I guess up to 80, maybe 100 shots per fill, there is no gauge, but then there wasn't on my Daystates. They look good with no exposed cylinder/bottle. Each rifle comes with a test certificate showing power, pellet used, and a packet of spares, that I have never used. The company owner has offered to gold plate, engrave, and otherwise customize from new. I was put off by the Parker Hale version, but this is the PAX version, redesigned by the original designer, and I love it.
