Stepping into the day state arena

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I really don't think the Pulsar is too heavy. It does shoulder very well and I can hold it very steady off hand. I shot mostly at 95 yards (length of my range) when target shooting and it will do 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 with JSB 18 grain. I've never paper shot it at 50 yards, but I pretty confidante it will do 1/2" groups at that range. If you would like I can shoot a couple of groups at 50 to see what it will do.
I also have an AirWolf Extreme in .25 and that will do 1 inch groups at my 95 yard range all the time.

I was up early this morning but I already had a variable 5-10 mph crosswind. These are 5 shot groups on high power at 51 yards straight from the tin 18grn JSB's using the magazine. I do like the Daystate magazine over the FX. The scope is a 3-12 power shot at 12 power. I was trying to shot when the wind was steady, but you will see from one group that is was giving me some difficulties.

It was no problem. I'm glad to help out. I really like the Pulsar. Yes, it is heavier then the FX Impact, but I find the ergonomics of the Pulsar better. I did have an Impact and I sold it for a couple of reasons. The Impact seemed to be a little finicky, and I had problems with it maintaining a constant velocity from one shooting season to the next. I didn't really like the magazine and it was narrow only allowing shorter pellets to be used. Then the regulator started to leak and I was just done with it. People have a lot of luck with FX rifles, just look at the results of the Extreme Benchrest, but for me, I like the Pulsar better. I've heard some very good things about the Wolverine too, but I do not have any experience with that rifle.

You literally cant go wrong with either. The question you should be asking yourself is this......are you a bullpup guy or rifle guy? Alot complain about the price of daystate magazines.......but seriously.......they are worth every penny. Once you get your hands on whatever you choose......you will fall in love with the magazine system and the anti double load indexing pin that both of these rifles have. Lastly......I wish my wolverine had provisions for a bipod. The pulsar.....well it has a picatinny rail. In order to mount a bipod on the wolverine you have to mount a swivel stud and go from there. Even then.....the bipod ends up being a little farther back than optimal. That is my only gripe about the wolverine. The bipod would be nice for benchwork......but I find the lack of a bipod to be a non issue while hunting.

Marksman is sure right about the "bullpup" or rifle guy".

I have a Wolverine B Hi-Lite in .25. I have on order a Wildcat in .25. I am purely a plinker to get ready for squirrel hunting. Not pesting, but hunting for the fun and pot. 

I fear, when the Wildcat gets here I'm going to find out I'm a "bullpup guy". The reason I "fear" my reaction to the wildcat is because it is probably not very smart of me to have $2,000 rifles in the safe that don't get used. I don't know any other way to find out though what I like? I find lot of similar company on this forum - Ha!

I like my Wolverine although I've shot it very little (100 shots maybe?). However, it is not as handy as the Wildcat. It is large! I will squirrel hunt with it for the first time this week. My favorite way to squirrel hunt this time of the year is to sit in my deer stands (15' up trees) and snipe. I saw 15+ squirrels in the creek bottom today while deer hunting. 

This thread is of great interest to me because I have time to change my order from the Wildcat to the Pulsar. My concern is that the Pulsar and Renegade seem to be underpowered in .25 caliber? Also, i can save nearly $1,000 by buying the wildcat. I sure do like the electronics in the Daystate MCT guns though! I had a Wolverine Extreme for about 18 hours. It was so long and heavy I returned it (that cost me $90 in shipping fees but AoA was terrific in exchanging it).

sharroffI have had both a Wolverine B and an Airwolf to compare side by side. The Wolverine B was sold and I still have (and will never sell) my .22 Airwolf. The question for me is do you want a full rifle (go Airwolf, not Wolverine) or a bullpup (go Pulsar). I've never had a Pulsar to compare to the Airwolf.

Im still waiting and wondering when they are going to do an electronic wolverine. I do believe it is coming at some point. What I like about the wolverine is the barrel is completely free floated. Whatever this guy chooses.....airwolf, wolverine, pulsar, renegade.........he will be more than satisfied. I wish I could have em all!!

sharroffMarksman3006,

The Airwolf standard comes with a bottle/barrel connector. It can be very easily removed for a free floating barrel arrangement. The AirWolf Hi-Lite (Carbon Bottle) doesn't even come with a bottle/barrel connector so it is free floated by default. Here is a picture of mine:

Now that is awesome.....seriously. I had no idea they did an airwolf hilite with free floating barrel. Furthermore, that shroud is vented in the back. I bet that is the quietest gun you own. I would love to hear that gun shoot. Quiet and accuracy are my two top priorities when talking air rifles. Im looking at getting a type c .177 wolverine soon......but now........I believe Im going to have to track an airwolf hilite down in .177. Thanks
