Went out to the range again today. Tried out the 100yard. 35gr Eun Jin pellets were ALL over the place. 20 gr H&N Were not as bad but I still couldn't get a group @100. Benji 27.8 were as bad as the Eun Jin pellets. Then I tried some Polymags. Finally I started to get some consistency and was able to figure out how many mil dots I needed to go up. Group was pretty much all on the big circle of the target. Then I tried a mag of JSB 25.39. I guess my gun likes these things. I was able to get a ~3" group at 100 yards with the JSB. This is only my second outing with the gun and I'm pretty happy with it. I put maybe 100 pellets through it today. That's a lot of pumping.

Fills are cheap, I pay $2 but I would guess most people pay $6 to $8 to fill the tank. Just sayin...pumping bits moldy biscuits..Be Well,Gator

Just sayin...pumping bits moldy biscuits..Be Well,GatorI agree and I also made that mistake, paid 180 or so for a pump when a 3300 PSI 100 Cubic Foot tank is only $239 and a 80 Cubic Foot is only $178, now that pump has been sitting in the corner for 8 months! Been thinking about selling the pump real cheap to someone I dont like, the only reason I keep the pump around is for an emergency!Its rough learning the hard way, I know sure learned it that way!Wiliam

Like you said it is good to have a hand pump around. Have you used a 80 cu ft tank to fill your marauder? If so how many fills are you getting from it? Do you top off with a 4500 psi tank?
