I just got my bt65 but have no air source

.... The benji pump and the flying dragon pump cost the same . The flying dragon pump is rated higher and comes with a rebuild kit but dont really know if that makes it better.... Which should I go with? are there any others that I should consider?

The four main pump options at this time are (in alphabetical order):

Air Venturi
Benjamin
Flying Dragon
Hill Pump

In order of desirability according to what I've read on this forum, they'd be roughly:

Hill Pump
Air Venturi
Benjamin
Flying Dragon

The last three might be reordered by different folks, but most seem to agree that the Hill is the top of the heap in quality, reliability, etc.

Hill pump. No question in my mind. I have both the Benjamin and Hill pump. Hill pump much easier to use (less effort) and more reliable. My Benjamin pump is always giving me headaches (problems with downstroke and upstroke). I sent my Benjamin pump to Duane at Sun Optics for repair. I've wasted too much time trying to figure out why it wasn't working.

There's only one pump.

HILL
