Please help.. fx impact or pulsar

I own three FX rifles and looking to get into the daystate Pulsar or the impact and I cannot decide which I see you have had both just for the sake of argument which two is better as far as putting on your shoulder and shooting prone and accuracy I don't really care as much about a lot of adjustments just want a a very accurate gun and a good and feel of the gun while shooting at the shoulder. My FX verminator extreme and my FX Royal 500 are extremely accurate but when I got my Wildcat I was having issues would be accurate for 20 pellets and then they would be off they would group well but the group would move, sometimes dead center then would be low and left. thank you for your time
 
I'd get the Pulsar too. Impact just doesn't do it for me. 

Also, you already own three FXs.

Did you consider a Compatto or Bantam? I've not felt a better shouldering rifle than my Compatto. It splits the difference well between a traditional rifle and a bullpup. They're accurate, quiet, and simpler than either a Pulsar or Impact, and not much to go out of alignment. Pulsar will be easier to shoot well though, due to the electronic trigger.
 
If the Pulsar is the same as the Air Wolf MCT, I would get it in a heartbeat. I was seriously considering buying the Impact until I read about the issues they were having and I was not looking for a problem gun to shoot single loaded pellets. I have some other FXs and Daystate Air Wolfs and the quality of the Daystates seem to be at least a couple steps above the FXs and the price reflects that. I would personally get one with the full Huggett Shroud because the one I have on an Airwolf is super quiet compared to my other with the standard shroud with Airstream LDC.
I recently sold a 25 Air Wolf MCT with full Huggett Shroud and when I asked the buyer what he thought of it after shooting it, he said he will never sell it at any price. It got sub MOA at 100 yards.
I think the FX are great guns but are priced more than they are actually worth.

MaineiacI love the idea of the pulsar but the electronic trigger gives me pause. When appliances switched to having electronic controls they also seemed to break more often. And needing a battery to operate my gun just feels weird to me.

Irrational fears aside, it's a great looking gun and the few that own them seem to really like them!


So how did you post this [post]? You must have sent in a hand written letter and then have someone post it for you!? 😅
 
The gun is powered by a lithium battery, which have a good long life. They also have a 12 year shelf life. So just buy a spare and keep it with the gun, and you're golden. The trigger is lighter than is possible with a mechanical trigger, which means more accuracy potential. Cocking lever being far back is not an issue, because you're not cocking against a spring. Somehow, the gun does that for you.

I understand your concern, it's a shame to add a new failure path.

As for appliances crapping out more when they went electronic, that's not usually due to them being electronic, but due to cost-cutting on the part of the manufacturer. Solid-state components are MUCH more reliable than mechanical. But they have to be rated properly. If they're just rated to work on the ragged edge, to save a couple cents for every one of the thousands of units that are manufactured, they'll crap out more, because the components are over-stressed.
 
It's hard to believe I made my living in computers for the past 30 years, and to me, yes, using a battery in my gun seems weird. I know, it's a personal thing. If you are at the range, close to town, I don't see a problem as long as you put the battery on your pre-shoot checklist. If living a bit further out in the boonies,a lithium battery might be a bit more of an issue.

The question I'd ask, "Is it a standard lithium or some oddball that's hard to find?". Daystate's site says it is a standard AA alkaline battery, and if you use the lithium version, that will last a very long time. Just be prepared for sticker shock when you buy backups (OK a pair is under $5 US, but still these batteries are pricey compared to standard alkaline batteries). http://www.daystate.com/images/reviews/Pulsar-Handbook-Rev5.pdf

I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I still want an impact, but if you already have three FX Rifles, give the competition a try.

 
"bowwild"I have not seen or shot either. But, my experience with the Air Wolf MCT makes the Pulsar an easy choice for me. I'm waiting to see what the .25 or .30 will do/look like. If I like one of them I'll be replacing my FX Wildcat which, I have no issues with, but I love the electronics of the MCT.
My post above was based on shooting DOUGER's Airwolf MCT.

I've had my .25 Air Wolf MCT Tactical since '12 with no issues. I've gone over a year without shooting mine, picked it up and the battery still had a charge and it held air without a drop in pressure in the tank. They do recommend charging it at least every few months. Mechanical guns aren't immune to parts failures, bolts and set screws coming loose, etc. There are huge advantages with the electronic trigger & solenoid valve including a more precision tuned trigger with reduced lock time, more efficient air use with the solenoid and MCT system over a conventional valve.
