If you have any of the higher quality PCP air rifles buy the 4500psi tanks...no way you can keep one topped off with a hand pump. I refill mine at the fire station

I like this, the tank is portable though. I filled mine once with a hand pump...once convinced me I needed a different method.I have a cheap Chinese from E-bay that has worked well for a couple of years now.
Nice shot.
Nobody will believe this but I took two does at around 200 yards within 12 hours with a...6.5 Creedmoor Fieldcraft with a fixed 6X $300 scope. Heart shots. One dropped and one ran 30 yards. True story.

It’s the Holiday’s and I’m bored; therefore I invested most of my morning thinking about this.
The argument I have heard for why guns have such odd numbers for calibers I was told dates back to when bullets were measured by a pound of lead, e.g., a one ounce ball, would have been a 16 gauge, or 0.662" in diameter. Okay, but why have we stuck with this? When they were sitting around the conference table inventing the .458 SOCOM was the guy in the room who suggested the .457 SOCOM ridiculed? Or did they have a good natured but fierce debate about seriously considering the .459 SOCOM? Because this would not have worked;
Harry Callahan: “I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five'? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I kind of lost track myself. But being that this is a [four-hundred and thirty-nine] magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?”
Because he may very well have felt lucky, knowing that the .44 magnum makes the .439 magnum look like a cap pistol. That movie could have had a very different ending. . .

And the .429 Magnum is a real pipsqueak.
Partial to the .41 magnum myself, or as known in some circles, the 10.4×33mmR
I believe that model does need to be cooled by water.
I have had this one since October and it hasn't failed me except once.
I'll preface my remarks by saying that when I had the problem with it the other day the humidity was at 100%. There was condensation over everything.
This, I believe, caused moisture to accumulate on the internal circuitry. This caused a malfunction in the auto-shutoff feature.
I attempted to duplicate the malfunction, the next day, in a video to send to manufacture but everything worked as designed. The only difference was the humidity was at normal levels.
The lesson learned for me is to never trust the auto-shutoff feature. I need to remain near the air gun when it's getting close to full. Then shut the compressor off if the auto-shutoff feature doesn't work.
I would adopt that practice no matter what sort of air gun compressor I have.

Yes they use water through a circulation fish pump. Ave a similar one that I have used to fill two large tanks from empty with. They can use a little work, but for $300 they are not a bad option. Get a dedicated water separator as well for it, as any humidity in the tank or cylinder will kill your rifle.I believe that model does need to be cooled by water.

A little something for everyone- including the shoe fetish guys
His 'fetish' is VERY specific... I'm afraid that no make the cut.
Didn't even need to see who that was from to be willing to bet large sums of money on it
