New scuba setup

[Mudbugmitch]

I love my Disco, and I know that using my pump is supposed to be good exercise, but.... This heat and humidity in Mississippi is rough on this old man. So, I bought myself a Catalina S45 scuba tank and a scuba fill . As I figure it I should get 57 fills out of this setup. A 3000 psi 45 cu ft tank filling my Disco to 2000 psi from a low of about 1200 psi. That is 15 shots per fill.

I thought long and hard about getting a 4500 psi tank but for the price , the availability to refill it , I don't think it's worth it. I like my disco , as is. Besides, it cost me $175 for the tank and only about $30 for the fill, with a 34 inch whip. Considerably less than the other, which means more pellets. plus only 5 bucks to refill the tank, locally.

Sounds like you got it going on.

Thank you. I haven't the best accuracy here, yet. But it se ms as though Crosman domes and Gamo hunters are the most accurate so far. I can now have more time shooting and less time pumping. time will tell.

Try JSBs and H&N Field target trophy as well as H&N Baracudas. Mine liked Baracudas best.

+1 to JSB (15.89 domes are my Disco's favorite, so far) and H&N FTT. If yours is new, which sounds like it is, shoot it a lot and give it some time. As it breaks in, the groups will tighten up. If they're still a bit loose after break in, consider a re crown. It's easy and can fix a "loose shooting" gun. Congrats on your filling solution! You will get many fills outta that tank. I've been wanting to pick up a pump to take with me when I go out in the field (to leave in the car, I mean, not pack out with me), just to top off if needs be without all the hassle of bringing my scuba tank. What kind of pump are you using?

Will try those, too. I could always use more trigger time. I may be putting my Benjamin pump up for sale soon.
