DOLLSEYES Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi, 300 bar.loads more fills than 232,so your not at the diving shop getting it refilled all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 depends how often you use the gun... Obviously I first bought a 232 Bar but after a couple of weeks it was empty now i have a 300 bar and it lasts about 6 months at current useage. A few more spondulicks but a saving in petrol costs.

roblade Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 well worth the little extra for the 300bar bottle. BUT.... make sure you local filling place can fill to 300bar, some can only go as high as 232 sad but true ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I cocked up and bought a 232 bottle. When I got home realised the gun takes 232 and will dwindle accordingly. Time for a part-ex me thinks LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magman Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) 1, only use the air rifle on one shoot for legal reasons so might fire 1000 pellets a year max. 2, divers shop less than a mile away? which can fill 300 bar. 3,can pick up a 232 for about £150 complete but looking at about £260 for the 300 4,gun charges to 190 bar? many thanks rob Edited October 5, 2005 by magman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjimlad Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 http://www.funsupply.com/airguns/number-of-fills-v8.xls This is a useful fill calculator which should help ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I'm currently on about my 12th refill from a 3ltr 300 bar bottle - though I rarely let my gun can get lower that 120 bar arjimlad: thats looks a good calculator - except it dont list many guns - my AA410s .22 carbine in particular - do you know if any of the others would compare?

arjimlad Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Sorry I don't know what would be comparable with your gun. Suggest you ask on Airgun BBS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacker Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) Get yourself a 12Ltr 300bar, I got mine from the Midland dive center or you can get em from Uttings who also get them from the Midand dive center, expect to pay around £220 for a new one which comes with gauge & microbore hose.
