What is a decent handpump to use on a pcp air rifle?

I bought this one. Was already looking at it, and another member here recommended it as well. I just bought it about a year ago, and have pumped my 580cc tank up several times with it. I’d buy it again if I needed another.

That's what I have. Seems like a good pump. Had it over a year, moderate use.


I've heard the sub-$100 pumps on Amazon and Ebay are good, but never used one myself.

If ya wanna splurge, here's an electric one I got:

Added in a 4 year protection plan (somethin I've never done before, but seemed worth it in this case), totaled right around $400.

Even if it craps out right at year 4, $100/yr ta save your body.

Pumps right up ta 4500psi, and has been flawless so far.

That looks like a nice setup. Seems prices on these compressors are coming down a bit lately.

Forgot ta mention, that the pump is auto shutoff.

Just set it to the pressure ya want.

I know it's safe, but I still don't mind not bein in the same area as a container gettin pressurized ta 4500 psi.

Thanks

That puts a whole new light on things PCP. Thanks for posting!

For what it’s worth I ordered the Hill Mk5 kit
