finnerz89 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, purchased my first PCP today. BSA ultra single shot in .22 had it filled at the shop but as they didn't have any bottles in stock i couldn't buy one. Been looking around online for one and wondered if you lot knew anywhere that does some good deals on them, the best i can find is £129 for a 3 litre with gauge and hose etc. many thanks for any advice given!!!

TaxiDriver Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 try local dive shops, many of them do air rifle bottles too, A 3 or 7 litre in my local rfd was £170 but a local dive shop did me a 12litre 300bar for £230 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-250 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Go for a bigger bottle, 9 litre or some thing. At my local dive shop it's the same money to fill a small bottle as a big bottle just 4.00 per fill to 300 bar. He has some second hand carbon fibre ones coming in next week with 5 years test still on them between 60-70 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellebarto Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 How many fills can you expect from a diving bottle? I know there's different sizes of bottles and capacities on guns but I'm not sure what to expect. I bought a 7 litre bottle for a BSA Ultra and my brother bought the same gun and we share a bottle but I'm not sure how many fills before I need to get it topped up!
