I've had a right good look and tbh it seems the Butt plate attachment is all there is out there, I'd be concerned about the band marking my stock
Ummm i like Green
and then this happens...

Not sure that you are still on my Christmas card list now as you have hinted that not all AA guns are "that pretty"....name and shame the ugly one Sir (do not include the S200 for obvious reasons) or I will be forced to gather my Pram Toys in preparation for a good throwing session.
I really really like the s510 ultimate sporter, shot her yesterday, well well nice looking gun and feels awesome to shoot, but that god darn shot count, I'm a newbie and shouldn't be bothered by it probably, but I am hence me contemplating the US and A.N Other, with higher shot count.

Sorry matey you’re saying you have finances set up
not I’ve a few£££ to spend
this is a hobby you’ve no where other than the range to shoot
seems to me your after a look at me and my gun
have what you want and what you can afford there’s no need to strap yourself up with finance package
its about enjoying the sport not
impressing people with what gear you have
appolgies if I seem harsh
all the best
of
thats your opinion, fine but it's not all about the bling bling, I love the look of a few AA guns and I don't think they're all that pretty, I'm new and simply asking for advice, some people would say, yes get a Impact or a Pulsar due to their accuracy that would then bring me confidence, and yes I admit I like nice things, I work hard for what I've got, and I literally don't care what people think of the gun I choose, as long as I like it and it fits then I'm happy.

Fair point
As long as the gun shop you purchase from is a decent one, and I fully believe that my one is very well respected.

Getting back to the DS first thing i do when looking at a new purchase is Google the item with the words issues after it and sit back and read anything that comes up then filter out the negs due to operator error and make up my own mind based on the remaining perceived good info.
The Daystates do get returned by all accounts due to faulty electronics fairly regular like which begs the question why stick em in there to start with ??BUT
They do look smart
so maybe get one for wall dressing 
in fact I'll go as far to say you get one and I'll hang it on my wall ?
For me personally, if I choose your method of elimination for a certain product, I'd never buy anything because nothing in this world is perfect, but who cares when you have a lifetime warranty with the gun, for parts and labour and surely if the issues become a regular occurrence, exchange for a different rifle.

Er....OP if you dont have a permission yet then more than 1 rifle is pointless imho. Get 1 good all-rounder R10 Mk2 or AA. You dont have to spend all that money eg a BSA Scorpion is very good value.
.22 is imho the more all-round calibre than .177 but thats another argument.
.177 is definitely where I'm heading, I appreciate everyones advice regarding the spending, but I do have finance set up, changed my mind over the Impact due to the handling etc, so have got in excess of £1500 that I need to use towards a rifle, I have mentioned 2 rifles because of that amount of funds, I have shot both the Ultimate Sporter, and the R-10 SE, or go down the route of 1 gun, like the Pulsar. theres even the route of, say the sporter and a Nitesite kit in prep for a perm.

I really would take notice of Ultrastu when he says Don't purchase a Daystate especially the Pulsar, When there's so many good Rifles on offer.
But it's your choice
Ok, but why are you saying that, what is your opinion, do you have 1st hand experience, or know anyone who does to say they're not what they seem?

Happy Easter Sunday everyone, I'm possibly looking to purchase a Daystate Pulsar but wanted to know of any owners, pst or current that have had a sling attached to their Pulsars, if so can they please provide a picture, I cannot seem to find any of a swivel being attached to the rear of the rifle apart from accustom made plate that fits into the rear stock by the butt plate, I know you can get a picatinny attachment for the front rail to have a swivel.

Ugly guns- Weihrauch hw100 & 110 ? any bull pups or modernistic looking things.
personally don’t like any laminated or colour full stocks.
this is my type
Yes well, each to their own but me personally I do not like the look or feel of the stock on the HW100 but what a gun to shoot, but I do not like wooden stocks, they're too plain for my taste. I really like the laminate in most rifles, in particular I like the AA Ultimate sporter stock, I'm considering the Daystate Pulsar but not seen one in person yet, so will wait for that before I make the decision to purchase or not, there is so much choice for every taste out there..that is the problem.

What a reasonable reply. If you can afford it have what you want, start with a 177 and buy a 22 later if you need it or even an fac 25.
Just don't buy one of them ugly guns, BSA, Brocock, Daystate you know, the ones you can only take out of the slip after dark.
?
Now the can have worms have just opened...what do you consider to be an ugly gun, just an opinion of course, which last time I checked, all was entitled to?

I think you may be putting the Cart before the Horse here. AFAIK you don't even have a perm to use a gun on yet and whilst anyone can buy a gun, finding somewhere to use it is far more difficult. Buy a reasonable, used, well known PCP and get some time under your belt before spending a small fortune on equipment - expensive gear does not kill vermin/game, it's the nut behind the breach that brings home the bacon and for many years experienced shooters will be able to out shoot you with a £100 springer. You keep mentioning the looks of a gun as well - this is of little advantage unless you want to just sit in a bush and hug the thing. Oh - .177 great idea........unless you come across a squizzer .
apart from the passion of wanting to learn the sport and attend clubs and learn the gun and ranges, a lot of shooters won't admit to wanting a "looker" of a gun, where as aesthetics is always a factor for me personally. its like having a nice car, it makes you wanna drive it more, but agree on the cost element of a brand new gun but as I have mentioned I already have a little finance arrangement set in place to afford me a very decent gun, and of course all the pcp's will outshoot me, but isn't that the fun of learning and trying to conquer?

Still wouldn't buy a new rifle, its a lot of money for your first gun, go second hand, see how you get on, have a good time through the summer, hopefully by then you should love it, hopefully know what you want, then look at getting a new rifle, or another second hand, you can only shoot one at once .
Trouble is I already got some finance sorted, not a lot but still. but the AA I cannot get outa my head it was gorgeous to shoot as well, so much reason to lean towards that gun, adjustability, cocking lever is fantastic and the magazine, sling mounts, stock colour, feel etc etc

If he takes this long about choosing a gun, how long will he take choosing a pellet
Ironically I think I may be sorted with that.

Ps .i believe the reason i did so well in the comps i entered was because i was a hunter first and foremost .Hft .is designed to simulate hunting so my hunting skills translated very well .
What ???? You on about
You said for me to take the gun in the woods, well unless it's a permission which I do not yet have, I would get arrested for having the gun in a public place, wouldn't I?

Shooting from a bench is ok .and will help you zero your gun .and give you an idea of the trajectory (on the level) and the aimpoints required to hit your targets at different ranges .
But its not a great substitute for field practice when it comes to hunting .
So many people zero their gun at a set range then take it hunting and wonder why they cant hit / kill anything they shoot at.
Take your gun out in the woods and set up small targets . (Apples . Acorns . steel knockdowns ) anything to simulate a samll kill zone .and shoot them from all sorts if positions ..lying standing .kneeling etc ..
Elevated shots (different trajectory to on the level .)
This will prepare you for hunting .
Take my gun in the woods, what and get arrested?

Just now, Newbie to this said:
Choose a gun you like. I can't give anymore advice than that. Don't worry about shot count, if you need 60 shots while hunting, you're either having a really good day or something is wrong.
not for hunting, but target shooting on the range to prep me for hunting, I mean my club is 9am - 4pm, how many bloody times will I have to refill, lol

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
Why not the Daystates?

3 minutes ago, Ultrastu said:
Is it a 300 bar one ?
You dont want a 230 bar bottle .as it wont fill your gun many times .
Also the compressor that fills your bottle will need to run to 300 bar .so a dive shop ideally .
Also is it a new bottle .? As they need testing every 5 years .
A pump circumvents all the above and is free air
yes it is a 300 bar, brand new.

yes scope is sorted, with the impact it came with a hard case so didn't have to worry, but now I will have to get a decent case, and a bipod as well, and zillions of pellets too, but thanks for all the advice guys, 177 it is then I guess.

oh, and tank sorted as well, so that budget is simply the gun.

Are you getting a bottle or pump to fill these guns .?
bottle is sorted, a 5 ltr one. I have heard that you can refill at ranges as long as you're a member its free, will ask the question tomorrow.

As for the 60 shot count at the range, take your air tank with you?
Yes but they also have a large tank there, I'll have to ask if it is free to refill

I would still to one caliber, I have a Weihrauch HW100 in 177 with a 14 shot mag, and I love it.
I loved shooting the HW100 in laminate a few weeks ago, the cocking lever is sublime, but no offence I found the look a bit too, meh for my taste but a hell of a gun to shoot, not that I know that much lol. I do like my aesthetics and the BSA and the AA especially is very very nice looking.
Please Please Help!!

I have been out a couple of times and observed, once at night time ratting with a Nitesite viper I think it was, that was a real good experience and probably what got me interested in air rifles again as I used to shoot 30 years ago, now I love technology and the latest gadgets but the more I think about it the more I'm going off slightly the electric guns, for on the range and accuracy testing etc it would be awesome to have accuracy over 50 yds, but not needed for hunting. my only gripe with the ultimate sporter is the shot count when I'll be at the range practising and getting used to the gun, I don't want to really be filling up every 15 minutes, I know it takes seconds to refill but it's going to be the amount of times during the session.are there other options that I have missed out on, wolverine r looks nice.
