Lot depends on how much you Shoot ?

 

Also if you have a Dive Shop that Can fill your Air bottle

 

Yes a Dive bottle is easier and Safer

 

But not a lot of good if you do not have a local Filling Station

 

Not a lot of difference in Prices - Outlay -

Here is the standard Mole link for those interested in pumps....

It may be a few years old but these boys know their stuff. Just remember fill every time you use!

I've got two pumps now

 

The outlay was minimal and its easy enough to fill a cylinder from empty (Well I find it easy ansd I'm overweight and unfit!).

The person who I got the new Brocock pump from found it difficult to fill his rifle from empty.

My own pump was easy enough to use (for me) but the new brocock pump is a dream to use compared to my old one!

 

I rarely shoot more than 20 shots when out on the perms, and I tend to top up either just after or before the the shoot

I sort of like your thinking there Marty

 

Personally though I'd rather put a high nevlocity lead slug between my old mans eyes!

I have a FX pump and it's brilliant. I don't get why people say they are hard to use coz they're not. Had my S410 for 5 years now, always been filled by a pump, and i have never had any problems. So from me it's PUMP!.

I've got a pump and fill both my small cylindered S410 TDR and the bottles from my S10 and R10. A bit of puff andf 7 mins, all done.
