    Daystate Pulsar 0.22 FAC 35 ft-lb

    Daystate Pulsar 0.22 FAC 35 ft-lb in a Forest Green laminate stock. Looking good.

    The numbers: on High, 35 ft-lb using 21 grain Baracuda Match but best accuracy on Medium power with 16 grain AA pellets at 920 fps, 30 fpe, ES = 20 fps; grouping 5 shots, typically, ctc = 0.3" at 40 yds.

    Handling: easy standing shots and quickly adapted to rear cocking. For bench rest shots a firm hold is needed to minimise forend flip.

    Noise: surprisingly quiet. Adding a HW mod reduces it to just a "ping" from the firing valve.

    Edit:
    Changed mod to Huggett Belita as it's a bit shorter than the HW.

    My advice: put your order in soon. I had to wait 3 months to get mine.

    PS: there is a new model with a synthetic stock; pics on DOC forum.

    My furthest shot with the Pulsar is currently out to 75 yards.

    I use the gun for hunting and the rabbit population around here has decreased to the point where I can go around permissions, which years ago would have been heaving with bunnies, and see only a couple of young 'uns or none at all.

    If this trend continues I may be forced to take up paper punching.

    I held the Pulsar at this years Shooting Show........glad you like it. I'm interested in how it groups at 75 yards and how steady it is when taking standing shots....better than a standard rifle I bet ????

    TBH all of my field work is done with the gun resting in a tripod. One drawback with high scoped rifles is cant, so I check before each shot with the built-in spirit level.

    Sorry, never used it as most of my shots are 40+yards.

    That is a very nice looking rifle. I just wish they'd done more with the grip. I reckon they could have got a very nice thumb hole type stock out of that laminate.

    Everyone that I know that has actually had one has highly rated it.

    All of the above.
