pabs Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hills Pump. Look on Blackpool Air rifles for price, then compare prices around from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabs Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 NO NO NO, Buy a bottle Totally agree! For a bit more money wise, save yourself the time, money and effort and go straight for a SCBA tank. After owning the hand pump for a while, and you are a serious/regular shooter, you will end up with a SCBA anyway....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KANO Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 For what you will pay for a stirrup pump you might just as well pay a little more and go for a bottle. DONT DO IT M8......Bottle bottle bottle :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I use a pump and it's perfect for me as I just top up the pressure each time I come back from shooting- just takes 1 minute and I don't have to find a place to store a bottle, get it tested and refiiled etc. And as it was second hand so didn't cost a load. Is there a good reason not to use a pump other than it's slightly more effort? Could it cause damage to the rifle? If so I may change my mind and get a bottle.

swiss.tony Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Get a bottle fella you have bin warned PUMPS are a waste of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoTsHoT-10 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I am going to buy a pump when i get a pcp because dont want to cart a big heavy bottle around when go too my mates orchard shooting and local farm because when we go we usally do a bit of pllinking and would run out of shots (thinking of getting s400). I am probably going to get a fx three stage which is about £130. There are some reviews on the gun mart site which may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Pumps disperse small quantities of moisture from the atmosphere into the guns reservoir even those with Moisture filters. Cylinder air is dry Corrosion in the gun is much reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Pumps disperse small quantities of moisture from the atmosphere into the guns reservoir even those with Moisture filters. Cylinder air is dry Corrosion in the gun is much reduced. Cylinder air is also cleaner, even with a dust filter in your pump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I am definitely one of the Cylinder fans, but each to their own. Mine runs FAC and needs a few more lbs in the reservoir and of course, I get less shots, so it needs more regular filling. I use it as required, sometimes a lot and sometimes months with no use (I have 6 other rimfires and centrefires and a few shotguns) and the cylinder suits my requirements. People dip in and out of air rifles, for some it's a bit of a one hit wonder, but if you are going to use it a lot you will soon tire of the pump and wish you had bought a bottle to start with, but the pump suits some people! ATB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
