Maybe also try Guntrader, "Guns for Sale", air rifles!! Quote Link to post

Are the hand pumps any good? I think you will find they are ok for the occassional user, but be careful with filters, "Air" is filthy and damp compared to divers bottles. The pump is also hard work, and they are pretty expensive to! If cost is a problem look around for a used bottle! Bottle wins it for me evey time!! Cheers Quote Link to post

Cheers good advice from deker you can get water traps and filters for stirrup pumps, but, as deker say's...at a price. you will be able to pick up a seccond hand bottle for the same kind of money. as for them being hard work..........maybe deker is getting old .....lol ( sorry deker) but he's right......i know , i am old!!!!!!!! good luck regards sean Quote Link to post

WhiteWolf 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) I have a bsa ultra....mulishot and love it (Don't tell SWMBO ) but over the last few months I have come to realise that only having 30 shots from a full charge is a little low, especially when some other Rifles can give you more than double this.. Or is it just that a want another rifle? WW Edited August 15, 2008 by WhiteWolf Quote Link to post
