Daystate Pulsar

We have had Pulsars go in and out of the shop, however, this is the first time I've been able to spend some time with one. Awesome little rifle, excuse me, bullpup, mini air wolf, whatever designation you choose to give it, it is definitely one of the most sophisticated compact air rifles produced.  The customer of this rifle requested scope mounting and test firing.  It only required a few shots to zero it on the indoor range.

I then jumped outdoors to see how it would shoot at 50 yards. No flags were set up and I paid no attention to the angled head wind I was shooting into. Just shot two quick 5 shot groups off of a couple of sand bags.  I was more than satisfied with the results I'm sure a more patient shooter in a windless condition could easily improve on these groups.

I was shooting JSB 18.2G @915fps 

The standard factory shroud does a very good job of moderating the sound.  However this customer requested an optional Hugget System which is easily adaptable to the Pulsar.

 50 yards still a good poke for an airgun

I look forward to setting up a demo gun for the shop, which will allow me to experiment with the various power settings and dial in the built in laser.

Rickey Broughton Loses His Battle with Cancer

Our Last Squirrel Hunt
September 2014

Today's post comes to you with sadness.  My Best Buddy Rickey Broughton lost his battle with Cancer on Saturday April 25, 2015, he was 52 years old.  

Many of you know him through our airgun community or seeing him posted here many times through out the years.  I was introduced to Rickey at a gun show some 30 years ago and we became instant friends. Over the years he became more like the brother I never had.

He was an avid hunter, shooter and knife collector.  We were of course like minded with our airgun passion. Many a weekend was spent out in the woods, attending an FT Event, plinking or simply talking airguns.

FX Impact

The state of the art FX Impact is expected to arrive late June/July 2015.  Wanted to keep you informed with some of the information we have received at this time.  

The Impact will offer an external power adjustment and well as external regulator adjustment for precise power tuning.  

Easily removable barrel for quick caliber change. Exact caliber options are not known at this time, but I suspecting the usual popular calibers that have made the smooth twist barrel so successful. 

The rifle is a repeater and will use the standard FX style magazine, in .22 caliber the magazine will have an 11 shot version, 12 shot version which are currently available and most likely a new higher capacity version with approximately 14 shots.  

FX Impact has been rumored to have a price point as high as $2,500.00.  We are happy to inform that the the Impact will actually have a price tag of $1,899.00

We are anxiously awaiting this new innovative addition to the FX Lineup.

First Bench Rest of 2015

 Michigan's COLD February temperatures didn't stop the guys from attending Precision Airguns first indoor bench rest event of 2015 on February 12th.  Shooting indoors at 56 feet. The event brought varies guns to the range.  A good time was had by all. If your wondering or noticed the antique Benji that Dave L is holding, no that is not the gun he actually shot.

New Optics we will be offering in the near future will be
the Sightron.

And the 

 New MTC Connect

The MCT Connect scope features a extremely wide field of view, the trade off is a very short eye relief, so recommended for the low recoiling air rifles.  I have had many requests for this scope and can see why shooters request it.  In sampling, one of these scopes on a rifle, I found light contact with the rear ocular actually works best, adds an additional lock point, hence making you truly one with the gun.

We appreciate your interest in our Blog for the latest information

Another great scorce of airgun information, for those who are not familiar with it, is the GTA (http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/)
We proudly sponsor them for the open and unbiased forum they provide.
Check them out soon.

Other exciting news is there will be another new airgun forum popping up soon.
It will be moderated by Ted Bier. Some of you may already know him for his Ted Holdover Videos.  Those who are not familiar with Ted and his wealth of airgun knowledge may want to get familiar with him through his website and soon to be released forum.

Shoot Safe - Shoot for Fun - Shoot an Airgun



Second Day at the Shot Show

Hawke is now offering the new Airmax 30 SF scope.  They are equipped with a side focus parallax adjustment, with a range of 10 yards to infinity. This enables the shooter to be parallax free and in focus at all target distances. The Patented design allows for the addition of a larger wheel (100mm dia. wheel supplied) to be installed direct to the central axis.

This allows for easier, more accurate operation.
The Airmax 30 Side Focus offers a specialized optical setup for airgunners.

One truly exceptional feature of the Airmax 30 SF scopes is the AMX airgun fully floating Mil Dot reticle.  Built around a 30mm mono-tube chassis, the Airmax 30 SF scopes are designed to provide years of reliable use. Four magnification ranges (3-12, 4-16, 6-24 and 8-32) mean no compromising when it comes to scope selection.

30mm Mono-tube design - handles heavy recoil

Side Focus Parallax adjustment

Additional 100mm large focus/parallax wheel*

Fully multi-coated optical system for maximum

clarity & light transmission

Glass etched illuminated reticles - never lose the aim point

Infinitely adjustable stepless rotary switch

¼ M.O.A locking resettable positive click turrets

Coil erector spring - no shift in zero

Pricing from $359.99 - $449.99

 

We had a chance to see Hawkes new Frontier SF. The hallmark of the Frontier line is the precision optical system.  The index match lenses sets the Frontier Optical system apart from the competition and other Hawke Scopes. Additionally the 6X optical system provides increased flexibility when transitioning between close and long range shooting.   They will be available with the new TMX Reticle and well as an LR Dot.  Available in 2.5-15x50 or 5-30x50.  Side focus control allow for parallax correction from 10 yards on the 2.5-15 model, while the 5-30 will focus from 30 yards.  Retail Pricing: $699.00 - $799.00 

Kahles 10-50x60 has been upgraded with a lighted reticle set up specifically for FT.  More information to follow regarding this premium scope in the up coming months.

Always good to see our man Paul from Air Venturi.  This was my first chance to sample the New Air Arms HFT.  This is the rifle that will essentially be replacing the MPR.  Laminate Stock, Button style trigger and larger air tube are some of the features this rifle offers.  Retail estimated at $1,495.00  Looking forward to having the HFT's in the shop in the next 7-10 business days.

We will keep you updated...

First Day at the Shot Show - Janaury 20, 2015

 

Daystate's Newest addition to the air gun market is the Pulsar.  This bullpup is taking air rifle shooting into the next era!  To my knowledge this is the first bullpup that can be shot left or right handed.  The side lever can actually be switched from left to right side as can the cheek piece.  It still uses Daystates established CDT and MCT Systems.  The Pulsar updates them into a more compact system and also includes three power levels 20fpe, 30fpe and 38fpe appear to be the finalized power settings for .22cal. The included factory shroud was designed to be very quiet, similar to the Huggett System that many Daystate shooters have opt'd for.  The first version released will be a  Special Edition model - Oro SE, which will include High Grade Walnut Stock, Match Trigger Blade and Gold Plated Gauge Plate with a price tag of  $2,995.00.  This will be a very limited production run and very few will make it state side.
Actual production models will be Walnut or Laminate 
Retail Price $2,699.00

Jim checks out Sightrons LR Series 10-50x60 30mm rifle scope
The guys at Sightron are getting serious about air rifle field target.  They actually purchased a Steyr FT rifle from us some time ago, and have been focusing on building an FT specific scope.  This one defiantly fits the bill.  Available now.  Retail Price: $1,049.99  Yes, it includes the side wheel, illuminated dot with multiple aim points and rubber eye cup. 

 

We look forward to more postings from the show tomorrow.
