Advice Needed on Tethering Big Bore Air Rifle to External Tank

I'm contemplating the purchase of an Airforce Texan LSS but not sure which caliber. I'm also waiting until I can find a suitable source that isn't so far away to refill an external tank before I make my purchase.
I've watched quite a few videos of the big bore shooters tethering their tanks to the air rifle, with and without a regulator.
I think that I would feel much more comfortable having a regulator connected between the tank and the air rifle.
Can anyone tell me which regulator to use and/or point me in the right direction to purchase one along with the correct fittings and hoses?
Many thanks in advance.

If you don't use a regulator, you need to either just be filling the rifle, shutting the valve off before shooting.... or tethering to a tank filled to the same working pressure allowed for the gun.... For a Texan (3000 psi fill), that would mean tethering to a SCUBA tank, or an SCBA filled to only 3000 psi.... unless you have a higher pressure bottle fitted to it.... I tether to an SCBA 1 hr. tank (88CF), using a regulator from Air Tanks Plus....

The hoses are sold separately....

Altaros makes a very nice regulator that does anything from 90bar~1300psi to 250bar~3625psi:

100% plug and play
Wery much depends on what you want, your CF bottle size and how much you want to shoot!
I have a 9liter~45min bottle and my .50 cal Texan will do @50 shots from 330bar~4875psi down to 250bar~3625psi when it falls out of regulation.
No shop in town will actually fill to a measured 4500psi! So at best you start with @4200-4300psi and it skislopes fast from there.
So what do you really want and what do you intend to buy in support gear to make it happen?
Wont be cheap ;-)
Will be fun but not cheap!
