Well I went and did it

[avator]

Not to steal the thread but, you all may find the humor.... I repurposed a baby stroller for a tank cart. Betty Lou asked me if it was going to be sturdy enough once the tank was full of air....... Still shaking my head.

LMBO, that's like the old joke; "What's a pound of feathers weigh?" 

No wait... it just got better... I had the tank filled tonight. When we got home I took it out of the Jeep and was rolling it around to the back of the house. A wheel broke on the stoller and Betty Lou said " I told you" You gotta be kidding me.

She may not always be right, but she is always the boss.

Another note I bought a Great White full armor tank, they were told me the tank was really the same size as an 88, but had better parts. They do nickle and dime you though. I could have gotten the same size tank from PA for $699 so I decided to go full armor for $777 (only $78 more for cover and feet), by the time I got through it was $918.48 because it did not include gauges, something else, 3% for using a credit/debit card and shipping. I will also give a report on the tank. Right now if I had to do it again (before I have seen the actual tank), I think PA would be the better way to go.

FYI,  the cover cost me about $10 retail (local SCUBA shop). The feet are about $20 off eBay.  I bought both because the used 75 CuFt fill station I got (Omega)  didn't come with.  Was a used setup off eBay.  Originally from AOA.  New I think it's like $600. No second gauge though and need to buy a $25 BSPP Foster.

Also I did note this:

Quality is always a factor in a review. If the quality is there, it is worth the extra dollars. I always give fair and accurate reviews to the best of my abilities. This is no exception.

BAD, Will can make them nice, but they are pretty heavy out the box

I must confess I am getting worried about the trigger. I am a trigger snob. I just bought 6 additional tins of 9mm pellets and now I am scared the rifle I picked might not be the one for me. All I can do at this point is hope that the trigger and accuracy is acceptable and if not I hope PA will let me exchange it for another rifle and pellets. I am keeping my new crony.

The gun is super accurate, but if you're a trigger snob you'll be in for a shock

Typing this on my phone  so forgive me if the tone doesnt come across right.  Tend to sound short because I hate using the onscreen keyboard.

Don't get me wrong...  I would have loved to get the second gauge option and strain reliefs that Joe B. offers!  Quality does cost more as you said.  Same reason we buy  JSB pellets right? Same reason I won't buy no name foster fittings!  The cover and feet were not safety issues so I just went with most convenient.   :-D 

I really don't have anything to compare to in terms of quality.  I've read more than one rave about Joe B equipment.  Quality is likely there,  but the CuFt calculations rub me the wrong way. 

[Booger]

The CuFt calculations did not bother me at all. I simply stated "your tanks are bigger than PA", Then he told me they are the same size, they just calculate the same way as (another company I will not deal with) does it. After he told me that I had no problem.

As a side note I had heard he advertised larger tanks and that was the reason for my statement to check up front honesty If he had told me "yes they are" I would have hung up the phone.

Congrats.  Can you please post a review of your Recluse, trigger, accuracy, pellets/slugs used, etc. when you start shooting it, and a 5-10 shot Chrono string?

Thanks,
Harry

Yeah Jesse, when using low power you really want to start 150 maybe 160 BAR

I was thinking 175 bar and I really like the low power shot count and power.

[Nomadic Pirate]

Yeah, 170 will give you quite a nice bell curve, 150 more a down slope

that low power feature on those rifles is pretty cool, you should get pretty good velocity and good shot count with the Roundball or JSB pellets
