Considering a Zelos as my first PCP but I don't like the aesthetics and would like more shots anyway. Couple of questions.
1) I know several people do or have made bottle conversions but what's the current best option in terms of quality and cost ? Should I get the adapter from a reputable source then get an e-bay bottle ? Thinking CF bottle instead of aluminum for weight reasons.
2) I'm thing a smaller bottle, 400cc maybe less. What can I expect in terms of weight gain ? I'm after high shot count and low weight. I'm thinking that a bottle option, even a smaller one, might allow enough air to move up to .25 cal.
3) Should I just buy a bottled gun instead ? I see the Snowpeak M60B is exactly what I'm trying to do but AAF's site notes 55% price increase due to tarrifs. Am I reading that right ? I really like what the FX Dreamlite bottle offers but it's significantly more expensive and getting hard to find for some reason.
Sorry for re-hashing Zelos stuff that is in other threads - I've read most of them - but most seem to deal with very large bottles which is not what I'm after. I know much of this is subjective but I'm open to opinions from you experienced folks.
Thanks.
