I have a SCUBA set up, working on getting a SCUBA to SCBA adapter so I can fill at work instead of SCUBA shops.

For my self I am looking into a 6000psi nitrogen tank which hold about 520 cubic feet. I should get from 550 to 800 refills from one tank.
Here in Texas they charge $144 for refill and $18 a month for rental. Thats a lot of shooting

Alright, Tim!!
I bet you are gonna love that carbine. I've had mine now for about a month and just keep getting happier and happier that I got it. I took it out the other day and literally was almost bored with how well it shot (almost!). It wasn't hole in hole at 20 yards but it was very close. After a couple of mags I decided to get another airgun out just for a change. I ended up being disappointed since the next one would not shoot as well as the P-rod. I've already sold one airgun because of the P-rod and now thinking about selling a second. Not good!
Mine likes the H&N FTT and Beeman FTS pellets best which make a dime or smaller hole at 20 yards with no fliers. Please let us know how yours turns out and what she shoots best.

If it shoots anything like it's big brother Mrod, it will be a shooter. Looks good.
