    New PCP Owner

    Picked up a BSA Ultra SE yesterday from the local gunshop and spent an hour on their 25m range. Was surprised how quickly it emptied!

    I realise when hunting I will fire far less but for days plinking I would require a few refills at least.

    Can you advise on a good bottle to purchase so I can refill myself? Where is best place to buy?

    For a light weight option, go for a 3ltr 300bar rated bottle. Being small, it can be transported with you to allow refilling. Look to pay £120'ish. My 3ltr gives me about 12 refills and it costs £3 to have it refilled at my gun shop.

    Not much help now, but something like an S400 Classic will give you a lot more shots, so a smoother power curve, and you only need to fill them to 190 bar max.

    Is there a good place to purchase these? I looked at a few online air gun dealers but have not had a thorough search yet.

    Was thinking of buying a BSA Ultra SE myself, roughly how many shots are you getting per fill?

    Took my old 10 litre cylinder in a couple of weeks ago for a test. I was told it needed a new valve £50 plus the test and seals I was looking at £80.

    The cheeky sod quoted me £175 for the 3 litre kit.

    I will be popping in today to buy for £120

    For me a 7L 300 bar gives a good compromise between portability and refill count and are only £30 more expensive than a 3L one. Try http://www.godive.net/go-shoot/charg...mde-valve.html as they seem to be pretty good value for money.

    The instructions says 230bar. I get 35 shots + 5 shots 1/2 inch lower.

    If that's the case then something is wrong. I would check your seals are not leaking. You should be getting more like twice that.
