Buy a pump... Pay around £90 - £150 and just pump the rifle as and when required. 2. Buy a Bottle £130 - £200 fill from a dive centre or local gun shop for approx £10 (you will get alot of shooting out of a large 300 bar bottle) 3. Get the rifle filled at your local gun dealer. Expensive way of doing it and not recommended. Hope this helps.. Quote Link to post

aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 the hand pump will be hard. you'll be puffed out by the time you fill the bottle. Quote Link to post

farmboy99 1 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 you want a stirrup pump mate the 3 stage ones are meant to be the dogs these days. or if you dont use it much get it filled at a dive centre they should charge about £1 to fill that. i get charged £3 to fill my 12litre 300 bar up Quote Link to post

zini 1,939 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 FX four stage is easy work and cheap in the long run I also own a R10 and i use this pump Si Quote Link to post
saxosportsaxo 2 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 If you do go down the pump route then my advise would be that, don't let the rifle drop to a low pressure. Top up after every session. Quote Link to post
jenksi87 3 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 i use a divers bottle, but if my mates got it i get mine filled up at my local gun shop for £1. oh and an r10 for a gun that u wont use much?? must have money to burn Quote Link to post
