Bottle Guns smallest tank hand pump?

[BlackbirdPS]

Hello Friends,

I'm currently shooting a .22 and .25 FX Streamlines. Great AGs so far. I've been debating next AG for a couple years, the DL or impact. Main use is weekly pigeon control. Im drawn to the Impact but don't want to also buy fill tanks or compressors. I love the simplicity of a good hand pump.

Anyone using a small 300cc air-tank on their impact or bottle gun? 

Is the FX 300cc ok to hand pump?

Comments on using a 170cc DL air tube with Impact?



Greatly appreciate any of your thoughts or opinions!

Take care

It is clear that you do not want to shoot a lot, therefore you do not want to buy a compresor.

Dreamline are excellent rifles.

PCP's are able to last for many years changing o'rings that are VERY cheap.

If you have clearly identify that you have an uncovered need, then buy the air rifle you think it will be adecuate for that need. Including you like it.

Other way, stay with your money on your account to have it ready for when the need arrives.

After filling a 300cc bottle, I doubt you will be loving the simplicity of a good hand pump. I've got a 300cc bottle on my Maverick. I bought a hand pump as a backup, but after going at it with the Maverick, it'd have to be a pretty cold day in hell before I pull that back out again. $239 compressor a much, much, much better choice.

like he said ..its clear you dont want to shoot alot .. you can handpump anything but i doubt effexthes are 3k psi either ..

An inexpensive compressor should last a long time if you use it just for filling your guns. You'll enjoy shooting a lot more not having to worry about how much air you're using.

I could send you a picture of the hand pumps out of order that I have. Hand pumps do not last forever.

Buy a compressor, operate it as specificated, and enjoy the hobbie. Let the workout confined to the gym.

Hell yeah.....

Love shooting my airgun, and dont have to worry about air.....

And a good pump will cost as same as a cheap compressor.

If you get a cf bottle for fill ups and a cheap compressor I would stick to a smaller bottle like 90 cu in and you could top off the gun a few times before needing to top off the tank you want to keep the cheap compressor cool I've burnt one up and learned the hard way topping off my big scba tank to fast . Been topping it off with my shoebox compressor which takes about 4 hours top off my 90 cu in takes about 1/2 hour or so my point is just keep it cool

You'll really like it. Very convenient to fill the tank, and not have to pull the compressor out every time you want to fill the gun.
