Just wanted to get some input.
I am looking to get my first PCP. I thought I had it narrowed down to a Marauder in 22. A buddy has one, and I really like it. I am a lefty, and it appears to be the only airgun that can be converted to that side. It is also near the upper limit of my budget.
The factory where I worked was shut down, and through the decommissioning, I was able to get 3 of the SCBA tanks. Cool. I figured I had it made. Well when I got them home and was finding a place for them, I discovered they are only good for 2275 psi. Bummer, My buddies Marauder shoots better at higher pressures.
So, I got to looking and see the Maximus / Discovery only has a fill pressure of 2000. Perfect, with three tanks, I should be good for quite a while. Prices are cheap on the Discovery, so I can afford a better scope. But due to noise, looks like I will need to get a TKO moderator. Then I wonder what will it cost to get the fittings to go from the SCBA tank to the foster?
My main questions are:
1. Should I try the Discovery and get the fittings? Will it shoot well enough to keep me happy?
2. Should I just trash the SCBA tanks, and get the Marauder like I had originally wanted? I will need to save more to get a way to fill it. More cost....
3. Should I get the Marauder and look into getting a Nitrogen tank for fills? May be better in the long run than scuba tanks for fill reasons. (There are not any dive shops within 50-80 miles.)
Would love to get some input from anyone that has both the Marauder and the Discovery.
Thanks,
