I am thinking of getting the Evanix rainstorm .22cal ( first PCP ).
Which pump would you recommend?
-
For the Rainstorm I'd reccomend a Hill pump. I used a benji pump when I had my rainstorm
And that was not pleasurable. I've never heard a bad thing about the Hill
-
id get the disco with pump as a entry level pcp and pump... anything over a disco id deff be thinking tank setup
but the hill pump has a 3 and 4 stage pumping.. the 4stage pumping will take more pumps but it will get easier
-
Hill
-
Great choice for a 1st PCP. Hill would be a great Pump until you chose a fill set-up.
-
I have used the Hill for around a year now, it does need a good cleaning an maybe new Oring's(a rebuild), but then it has been used almost daily so I would say a very good pump over all.
-
id love a hill pump, better quality and pa stocks the rebuild kits for them so parts are easy to get
-

Pumping even the Biggest Air Hogs is no problem at all, for a Rainstorm is a real piece of cake

Another Hill vote.
Have used an FX for many years..on aguess the pump is 10 years old or older. Finally died, and i have to say the rebuild process is NOT as easy as a Hill. Had one Hill pumps during that time as well... need a rebuild more often, but are easier .
Finally decided to replace the FX ()think i can rebuild it, but right now am having a *(&^ of a time with one pinned in part).
Ordered a 2nd Hill. This one was ordered WITHOUT the dry pac. First one has the dry pac system, and I am unimpressed by any test I can perform....so avoided the expense for something that my personal tests showed didn't work well enough to justify.
Looking on-line, and finding a good price...then a discount coupon...got this last Hill a couple of months ago for $205 (INCLUDING shipping) from Mid Way.

If you can get 4500 PSI fills skip the pump and get a SCBA tank. makes shooting alot more fun for sure.
I started with a pump on a CZ200 122CC air tube and quickly switched to a SCBA tank
It was Hill pump they work well and are easy to reseal when needed
-
Another vote for the Hill pump.
-
Thanks guys, I will get the hill pump then.
Just have to save a little more $$$.
-
Disco .22 is awesome. With Gen II Brake, Mac1 Prep and Pump it is $485. Hill is a better pump so if you buy gun only is is $335 no pump.

I just love the looks of the rainstorm.
-
I followed the advice given and went with a hill also. Great pump. I searched alot of places and could not find any negative reviews. I am happy so far with mine. Little steep on the price but ya get what u pay for. And it does not come with any adapters so you will have to buy what ever hooks up to your gun.
-
When I had my Hill and wanted to reseal it the orings are available easily in a kit. I emailed Hill with a question and they responded they would call me(from UK) and walk me thru it if needed. So support is there for sure
-
Midway USA has the BSA pump on sale and the BSA site says its made by Hill so if you want to save $50, thats a good way.

If you didn't already you should put that Midway Sale tip in Bargain Gate
