    I'm looking for an airtank setup for my FX- Whisper PCP. Prefer one that can hold up to 4500 psi. Also the hose connection would be nice too, I have the adapter for my gun on the handpump. Tired of pumping that thing 150 times after I shoot, but at least I get 44 shots.

    Just went through this myself, ended up with a 106 cubic foot luxfer composite tank (aluminum wrapped with carbon fiber). Got the tank for about $425 from diveseekers.com and got the hatsan tank adapter for $75 off amazon. This came out almost $200 cheaper than going carbon fiber but the weight is about 35# vs 12# for the 90 cubic foot carbon fiber tank (same number of fills roughly). If you want to spend the extra on carbon fiber the best around is at airtanksforsale.com and his come with everything except the fill probe for around $700 I believe.

    I just bought a Benjamin 90cui tank, beause I'm too old to pump. Now I can't find anyone to fill it.Would like to get 4500psi as well.
    I also too old to cock my Beeman SLR Theoben. It's only had couple hundren rounds shot. I bought a Maurader and like the gun, but could only pump enough to sight it in. I won't do that again. ha ha
    I have always used spring guns and have some good ones. Two out of three and too hard to cock anymore. Going PCP if I can get the tanks filled.

    Have a look at a Shoebox compressor. You can fill your gun or tank at home without the hassles.

    Man, that is the berries. But I don't think I shoot enough to justify $650, I think I can get lots of refills for that. Only have one PCP rifle now and one little 90ci tank. If afew guys would chip in, it would be a good idea. I just intend to clean out some yard squirrels.

    Nice shop, friendly people. Mark is out of town on a dive. Their connector for filling my tank is broken . Took my number and will call when it gets fixed. She has the part ordered.
    Easy to find Fla Blvd inbound to Ardenwood, left to Gvmt St, right East to where Jefferson Hwy comes in, on the right Blue Building, park in rear.
    Thanks a lot, this looks to be what I need.

    Glad they are taking care of you. I've known the family for many years and have done several dives with them.

    Couldn't wait. my last call said maybe next week. Google to the rescue. Seven Seas 8350 One Calais Ave off Essen Ln
    I walked in door and young guy said "Oh need a fill?" Took the tank, looked at it, removed the input, put his on, put it on the compressor, about 15 minutes..$6.50 and I'm out of there.
    Love my new Marauder 22!
    Thanks to all who helped.

    There is nothing like that first day when you can take that stupid hand pump and stick it in the corner. Pellets get more expensive though, no more 40 shots an hour.
