looking at a Daystate pulsar saxon HP in .177 can anyone tell me power levels and maybe shot count ? Thanks
Daystate Pulsar power and shot count ?
- Thread starter beerthief
- Start date
My Pulsar HP .177 is a couple of years old, and has never been adjusted from the factory settings. Looking back on my original chrony data for the gun, it is no slouch in the power department. I only shoot heavier pellets in it. Don't think I have tried slugs.
I don't have any exact numbers regarding shot count, but I don't ever recall saying to myself 'oh, I've got to go refill this thing again' when out shooting.
Great guns. Give yourself some good trigger time with it. I originally couldn't shoot good groups with mine until I learned the gun, how it liked to be held, etc. I have had the best luck (off bipod and rear bag) holding it moderately tightly into my shoulder. They do have a little bit of a bark. My std power Red Wolf in .177 was very backyard friendly without any additional moderation. But I prefer a mod on the end of the Pulsar HP's barrel. Something as simple and relatively inexpensive as a DFL Tanto works great for me.

Same as TMH . But I have been shooting nothing else but slugs, all the nsa slugs work well @ high mid and even on low. The jsb ko 13.43 do well also, both shoot well at 100yds. But pellets or slugs you will not be disappointed. Good luck

I have a Pulsar, Saxon in .22, (actually a green plastic Renegade too).
Great gun, although a little heavier than most rifles. Accurate, easy to shoot. Not a fan of the rear mounted cocking lever, but... Right now I've got mine set on the "mid-power" setting. I really don't bother with the shot count. I rarely shoot a full cylinder at one time with my rifles, so it's not much of a concern to me. As long as it's not leaking, I'm happy. All I've done to mine is to shorten the shroud to the length of the air cylinder, reset the baffles so they work (shortened two baffles and he spring. I found that with a shorter spring, it seems to cut the sound a little better.
And to add to that, some will say that the baffles alter the point of target impact, vs. no baffles. I've tested this theory a couple of times, with the same results. The gun is MUCH louder, and the point of impact is the same, with or without the baffles.
I'd say go for it. Oh yeah, put Lithium batteries in it to make sure there is no leakage. Alkaline batteries have a tendency to leak and ruin things.

P.s - If you want to change grips, they use the same grip as the powder fire, AK47. They need a little "fitting" work to fit tightly against the stock, but that's about 5 minutes of work. I've got a couple of different grips for mine. Unfortunately, I don't like any of them. I wish I could mix two that I have, but I haven't found that mixture yet !
