‘someone new comes along with x amount of ££££ to spend, jealousy will kick in when they're still using 20 year old springers’
Nice ?
its not jealsouly it’s called ‘wise’.
For what Ive seen, it’s been helpful advice from people in the know who have tried to guide you. You’ve basically asked for what is the best expensive gun and most on here don’t own them as they know the score with them. You should of just listened to YouTube all along.
Good luck with gun and please how your getting on with it.
not once asked for what was the most expensive gun, I've just placed an order on one of and simply wanted to know where to go from ordering an Impact, simple friendly asking, but then get sarcastic comments from KW that probably don't even have a gun, and if they do, probably don't even shoot it, just troll on here everyday instead.

Point me in the direction of the sound advice then take a look at the ones that's put me down then come back to me. You all stick together on here exactly as I said a few posts ago, you optimise the reason of forums. Only advice I see is "don't spend a that money buy a cheap springer and learn" well as it's my money I'll buy what I want and so will the next person. Very little decent advice or support have I received. Ultrastu one of very few who's remained decent with support and advice.

ever heard never look a gift horse in the mouth, you've had nothing but good advice from complete strangers freely giving their years and decades of advice.
And if you read a few other posts you would know exactly what Bruno shoots.
And a ton of sarcasm to boot, was told pretty much to stay away from forums as the amount of keyboard warrior's are growing by the day, especially when someone new comes along with x amount of ££££ to spend, jealousy will kick in when they're still using 20 year old springers. Read other comments I've had that tries to put me down even before I've got the gun. It's just funny.

No chip whatsoever I'm more grounded than a snake, just why do people have to say stupid comments just cos I've decided on a gun.

id rather like an fx crown myself .in .25 or 30 cal .at fac level .where the adjustmets it has can make a difference. To long range accuracy .ie 100 yds. I Cant afford it though and couldnt justify one at sub 12.
How does the barrel cal swap feature work and still stay legal when going from .177 cal to .22 .assuming adjusting the reg pressure .and hammer tension wheels wont take it over 12 fpe in stock form .??
When I buy a. 22 barrel kit the gun will remain 12 ft lb but can then easily be tuned for fac when and if i decide to apply.

"Going to be 100% more accurate than any other PCP air rifle out there" ? I've read some stupid statements on this forum before but that one deserves a whole packet of biscuits. Not going to comment on your posts anymore as your true colours are plain for all to see.
lolz, see the videos on yt, I'm no liar you'll see the top guys from all over test, review, tune these guns and every new top pcp out there, your response optimises everything bad about coming on here asking for advice and tips as a beginner, don't know why you responded like that and quite simply I do not care and certainly won't lose any sleep tonight over it, fact...what FX are doing with their guns over the last 3 years has shocked every other manufacturer, not just looks and design, but out and out quality and precision. I wonder what you shoot??

And it costs more than 2 decent PCP's to buy, I have to ask roughly how much they have quoted for it, as soon as you leave the shop you will be shedding £50 notes. After a few months can you let us know just how much better it is than, say an R10, and how they can justify such a ridiculous price tag - always thought that Daystate owned that monopoly.
if you check on youtube you'll see how good it is in accuracy to say, 2 decent pcp rifles, at 50 yards - 150 shots, not 1 flyer, no settings adjusted, straight out the box allegedly, price = a few more coffees compared to the Impact, I don't care what people think of the cost if I have the funds to spend then thats my business, I've held it, it shoots exactly like the impact but more accurate it seems due to the new x barrel. I originally came on here to ask for advice, got a few comments that didn't agree well with me and I thought this forum **** is the worst place for me to go and ask, as theres always someone here to bring the other person down somehow or way or other. I've now got my gun, I'm gonna learn it, shoot it and kill with it just what they're meant for, only this gun is gonna be 100% more accurate than any other pcp air rifle out there.

Just now, bruno22rf said:
Excellent choice....according to youtube review it gets more accurate the further you shoot it and pulling the shroud out increases the barrel length. I'm off now to order mine and then feed my unicorns before bedding down.
and you can exchange between calibre's, 2 guns in 1

Well having read the reviews it seems people who have this rifle spend more time faffing about with the setting than they do shooting it, time for a rethink me thinks.
Now what about a…….
no settings hardly for a sub 12ft lbs LOL

If he takes this long about choosing a gun, how long will he take choosing a pellet
I have decide upon the FX Crown everyone, it has the same "Innards" as the Impact which I loved shooting, but also has the benefit of a traditional stock so I can use a sling and bipod easily, 600+ shots which negates the fact that I was worried about shot count on the Air Arms Ultimate Sporter (which I may still get) it also has the looks that I wanted, can interchange between .22 and .177 so all basis should be covered.
Thanks to everyone's input with this, I may not have agreed or liked what some said but I appreciate all opinions that were offered.

First off .i really really really .would forget the daystate .all daystates but sepecially the pulsar .
Both the bsa and air arms are great guns and are definately hunting guns .
Shot count isnt really relavant..you will use the same amount of air in both guns .if your at a range how hard is it to refill the air arms after 60 shots with your bottle next to you .
Hunting ? 60 is 4 times more than you need .usually .
Ive run out of air (bsa ultra 40 shots) Once in years and years of hunting
Have you budgeted for scope mounts .millions of pellets .chrono, bipod ,bag
Silencer .etc .it all adds up .
As far as cal .id also stick with just one ..177 .best for hft .target comps etc .
Best for short range rats
Best for long range rabbits .
Best for tree shot squirrels /pige etc
Cheaper .and more choice ...
22 best for. ...... er ... pigeon body shots
If you fancy 2 guns get your high end pcp .bsa /airarms
Then a nice light weight no frills springer also in .177
Bsa lightening .hw 95 walther terrus etc
Very sound advice ultra, with the US being non regulated, is there a massive difference between a regulated gun against a non reg gun regarding accuracy, at the beginning of the fill and the end of fill?
On 31/03/2018 at 19:00, Ultrastu said:I doubt that it would be free ..why would it be .?
Are you getting a bottle or pump to fill these guns .?
10p per refill, pretty cheap.

can't resist, wonder which rifle you will want today ???
as for "only" getting 60 shots, that means the gun weighs less, looks better and once you have got over the initial excitement of needing too shoot two hundred pellets a session you'll have a gun you like.
now onto which pellet, scope, gunbag, night vision, silencer, knife, boxer shorts..................................................
nah today, im sticking with original purchase, the gun I hate....Impact
3 hours ago, davewh100 said:what is your intentions target, hunting, or both depending on which gun i would be looking for
Targets at the range to start, then when accustomed and competent enough, on to vermin and pest control.

seriously though, for someone that says they look at all the reviews, I’m surprised your considering a Daystate.
they look like nice guns, some of them anyway. Good reviews especially on YT, some of the UK you tubers use them with success especially in the hunting scene, Mat Manning for example, but mainly 2 gunsmiths have said that they have rarely had many returns of daystates rifles, 1 said they had a Pulsar back into the shop but that was down to user error not the rifle, and the other mentioned they haven't seen a daystate and probably would forget how to fix them.

Ok just read the reviews on the Air Arms S510 Ultimate Sporter and from what you have said in your earlier posts this gun sounds right up your street, so what you waiting for, go for it, you know you want it, and its only £860…..https://www.gunmart.net/gun-reviews/airguns/air-rifles/air-arms-s510-ultimate-sporter
Yep agree 100% but I am struggling with the 60+ shot count, some saying though they get 70, that was where my rational is by going for another gun with a higher shot count, and just take both guns to the range. s510 is so customisable too, and swivel studs, even adjustable at the front with a rail that can attach a bipod without affecting the swivel mount. thanks for the help and support, very much appreciated.

Just curious as you said you had spoken to him since your OP? so what’s he recommending?
I didn't really ask him to recommend, but when I was there yesterday I remember him saying then about the pulsar, well he kind of "gnarled" when I asked what it was like.
1 minute ago, Ultrastu said:That something .is a massive price tag that fools you into thinking your buying more than you really are.
If it fits like a glove and you absolutely need to spend a fortune to make you feel better. Then fine .but if you want a gun to just hit stuff then buy an air arms or bsa .
because I set up the finance I now have to go ahead, which I'm fine with and the shop is brilliant in not even making me pay a restock fee for the impact, they're really cool, it literally is only the gun I need to sort, I keep going back to the AA ultimate sporter I loved shooting that yesterday pictures simply do not do that gun any justice.

But there is something about Daystate though. I keep looking at their rifles.

The daystate above looks cumbersome
And feels worse than it looks .and its heavy too boot with the cocking handle in the wrong place. .and runs a mag thats known to cause inaccuracies.
But hey its up to u.
Then why are you asking about how to fit sling to one if you dont wont one .?
since the OP I've done some homework, even spoke to a gunsmith, stay clear they told me.

You do know daystate will only grantee there guns accuracy out to 25 yds .?
See my 10 year old bsa scorp groups at 22 yds shot off my wobbly knee on 7 x mag. In the rain .
That group above if at 25 yds is almost carp .
What im saying is dont be fooled .
I'm under no illusion buddy, I'm steering clear of the Pulsar and electric guns totally.

You say in an earlier post that you used to shoot some 30 years ago, what were you shooting and what gun were you shooting?
omg I cant remember, it was on an hillside with bro in law just plinking at cans and bottles a few times a week

Well you cant have everything. Thats why a good all-rounder is where you should be looking. Get ONE good rifle and master it. R10 se mk2, AA s410/s510 etc maybe plus a good springer for training. The danger here as I see it is that you could end up like those middle aged blokes going into American Golf every 6 months to change their driver. Or before you know it you have 6 guns in the cabinet.
doesn't every bloke have GAS

I echo the sentiments of some of the posts about investing so much money into 2 PCPs. Both will be good to shoot and accurate to the point of being boring.
Being on a range with a PCP becomes tedious after about 10 minutes. A PCP is great for hunting but a good springer is more entertaining and I believe will make you a better shooter in the long run.
if you're saying it'll be tedious due to multi shot, then I plan to use single shot trays, depending obviously if I get a gun which utilises one, but until I go and shoot with my rifle then I won't know how boring it'll get on the range, I can imagine if I shoot tight groups at certain distances, then yes whats next. luckily I have a friend who has a field that I can practise in too, so plan on small targets at various ranges, prone shooting, standing and resting etc.
Please Please Help!!

Christ alive, taking the urine! I work in a prison so I think I'm qualified to have had that happen, just the once or twice, didn't expect it being a newbie on here though, when asking for some advice, my take on buying a gun is obvs more different than someone else, yes I like the look of a gun, whichever gun I buy I know darn well it'll outshoot me for the next 50 years and more, and cost wise if I have the money to buy whats meant to be the best then so be it, I see it as a little unfair for people to say " don't buy an expensive gun to start", yet realistically how long will it take me to get my range sorted, hold over and under with the amount of practise I am getting now, I'm a an half decent shot and getting better by the day, each visit I see a difference in my aim, the way and position I hold the gun too.
I'm not sure either but my guess would be that when FX offers sub 12 owners a chance to buy in my case a .22 barrel kit, then surely it would be no different than if I originally purchased the 22 equivalent, when as I say I want to get it up to fac spec then I take it to get it tuned for the extra ft lb?
