Divers bottle every time,there are no advantages in using a stirrup pump.Pumps are hard work,dirty unless filters are changed regularly,and with the build up of heat cause condensation in the guns cylinder which is VERY BAD!Divers bottle is clean,quick,and easy,and only costs a couple of quid to have refilled.

I will let you know how I get on when it comes, as the wait is killing me! I wanted the T10 originally but when I weighed up budget etc.... anyway Im sure it will be good..Gulp! My lads have a couple of XL Tacticals and the stocks very comfortable specially for a smaller frame.

 

Incidentally this is also the first .177 I have bought for hunting so it should be interesting all round

If you've got the money get the cilinder tank, as you can take it to a scuba diving shop and get it filled there for fairly cheep. On the other hand if your trying to pick something up a little cheap the pump is just as good, just take a little longer to fill ( As you have to pump ), plus you cant go pumping stupidly quick, as the seals inside the pump will melt, leaving you with a F***ed pump.

 

Hope that helped

 

Thanks.
