Home ranges.....

[Cookisan]

With all this home range fun, my compressed air reserves are rapidly being depleted! Does anybody have advice on hand pumps?
My main concern is the lack of a proper oil/water trap on any of the ones I've seen, so not producing dry air and risking the air rifle tank rusting (which last time cost a bit to sort out).

They seem to range from £50 to £180, and some of the expensive ones look scarily similar to the cheap end ones with equally similar specifications. Help.....

I have a Hills pump https://www.airriflepump.com/index.html and it is probably 12 years old along with the S410. It claims 90% moisture removal and I have not had a rust issue with my rifle.

Once you get the rhythm going it becomes fairly easy to pump.

And Hills are still shipping or go for their new EC-3000 compressor just £850

Hi Polchraine, thanks that is just what I'm looking for, plus they seem to have all the spares and services parts readily available! Plus it looks fairly robust.

I have a Hills here, it can be hard work.

Just think of it as your daily exercise.

I've already done one marathon on the treadmill so far!

Just shot my best 10 meter pistol card for a long time - 96

Good shooting!

I am lucky enough to have a hammerli trainer kit for my swiss K31, got it at auction a couple of years ago, tested it down the range a couple of times before it stopped working and then left it on a shelf.

So after finally figuring out how to take it apart to fix (and try several times to put it back together again before finally getting it right-the swiss don't make things simply) i've managed to get a little 5m range set up across the length of my flat ( a whopping 5.5m with my knees toughing the bathroom sink so not exactly the best practice for prone)

That looks like a lot of fun - I've never seen one off these kits in the flesh. Are they smoothbore? I believe they have a gravity magazine system.
