I was after this exact thing. I stumbled across an HPA converted RWS 850 air magnum. I haven’t received it yet but am planning on a big bottle at sub 12 fpe. If I was going to buy new , I think the HM1000 would fit the bill nicely.

Yeah, I get around 90 shots @ 18-19fpe. On the UK forum, they talk about regulating Akelas, and getting 250-300 shots @ 12.benjamin akela in .177 has a relatively high shot count when tuned and it has accuracy as well. for under $300 at airgun revisions, it’s hard to beat.
I’m curious what you’re looking to do with your .177 set up? Needing or I guess wanting the high shot count for other reasons than not having to refill very often. I mean it’s really none of my business and I don’t mean to come across as judging, because I’m seriously not.I have .25 stuff covered well, and I think I have .22 down well enough at the moment (that can always change though, lol). But I’m considering a .177 PCP purely to have something with a high shot count per fill (200+). I realize shot count varies based on the tune, so if it helps I’d be happy with a tun that puts me anywhere from 12fpe up to 16fpe or so. The ability to tune higher would be nice in case things change, but I have lower fpe covered with a few Weihrauch springers. For the sake of this discussion and to keep things simple, let’s keep the tune to the 12-16fpe range.
I’m familiar with and enjoy BRK/Brocock, EdGun, and Taipan, and I’ve read a lot of good things about RTI, AGT, and several others. Those who’ve owned or shot these enough to know, how was the shot count per fill in this tune range? I’m strongly considering an RTI Prophet Performance, but I’m always open to other quality options as long as they net me a higher shot count. Doesn’t matter if it’s a single shot or repeater, if you’ve enjoyed a .177 that let you shoot a 250ct tin (or more) without needing to top up, I wanna hear about it!![]()
