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.

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.

old'un Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Looking back at some of your post I think you are lost, a bit like a kid in a sweet shop, to much choice and over thinking it, why not just go for something like a Air Arms rifle and see how you get on, a least you will have a rifle and can get on with finding somewhere to shoot.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 I use an Air Arms .22 S400 and I can head shoot rabbits at 30,40,50 yards and it kills them stone dead, so that super duper S510 should do the job and its got the looks you are after, and stop worrying about pellet count per charge.

Mice! Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 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..................................................

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.

defender Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I've got an old Daystate MK3 .22 12 lb/ft stripped it and re sealed it (£10 a set from Daystate) new set of batteries £27 were in it when I got it, and I get 150 ish shots from a full tank.
