What rifle have you got?

 

If you have an Air Arms S200, Hatsan AT44 or another rifle that fills to 170-190 bar it will be fine.

 

If you have a rifle like a BSA Super 10 that fills to 232 bar, not so fine, but as long as it is a big cylinder (ie at least 12 litres), you will get a good few usable fills out.

 

300 bar cylinders are better and there are quite a few around!

About £30 -40 for a test .

thanks mole and villaman. looking for second rifle which will be possibly a BSA ultra of if i can hang on a little bit longer and not let the money burn a hole in my pocket a daystate regal.how would a 232 tank perform with either of these.

I think the BSA Ultra (MMC model) and the Regal are both 200 bar fills, so once again get a big tank. But have a word at a few dive shops, you might pick a 300 bar up at a cheap price, in test!
