Well Federal Express showed up today with two packages... one of them being a Recluse. I still need a fitting to allow me to use the Hill Pump that I have, but I've all kinds of stuff now to shoot through it... JSB, Air Venturi round balls, a mold for .360 round balls, and a Lee mold for a 125-130 grain conical.I'm pumped.... and will be pumping for the near term it looks like... See how it goes .... Are there many other Recluse owners here? Have you used them for hunting? That is mainly what my purpose would be for this rifle in order to attempt to introduce Airguns to Hawaii.Aloha...
Congrats. I love my Recluse. It can target shoot and Hunt with the right ammo. JSB pellets are really accurate and when used in the recluse with OEM power configs, its a good small game gun.Do you plan on modding it or having it modded for more power?

How does the gun handle? I was interested in sumatra in .22 but went another way since I thought it would be front heavy. I noticed you have not got too pump yet but is yours a 500cc version or the smaller one?Whats your expectations for it? These are sharp looking guns and seem to have excellent features. Since I am hand pumping I avoided this line due to shot count. I am wondering if my thoughts were well founded or not.
Congratulations on the new rifle.Enjoy.Dave

Since I am hand pumping I avoided this line due to shot count. I am wondering if my thoughts were well founded or not. Mine is the 500 cc and my son is going to send me an airtank... so now I'm looking for a small tank to take in the field with me. Some are saying I can use Paintball tanks... do you know if this is accurate? The gun is heavy for my wife, and without a sling, I'd not want to be hauling it around too long myself, probably, but it's not that heavy... lighter than it looks... and my buddy here sayed I should fill it with helium... .... My expectations for it are ultimately for it to be a hunting gun for pigs, sheep goats and deer. We'll see how it performs and move up the animal size spectrum. As soon as I'm able to get it pumped up and off to a place to shoot, I'll post my experiences.Much aloha... Tom

How is it that you need a fitting to come in ? the factory probe screws into the Hill and you good to go.Don't be afraid of pumping I've pumped big guns for years, I used to have a Claw .50 that was 400 FPE and only got 2 shots

Before buying any paintball accessories (tank, adapters, etc) - first make sure they are rated to 4500 PSI, 3000 PSI or whatever pressure you plan to be using for your airgun. Many paintball accessories are either regulated down or rated for lower pressures. If the seller isn't sure, don't buy it. Most experienced paintball sellers can confirm this for you or even adjust the working pressure on the accessory.

So if you buy a "paintball" tank that has the low output reg you wont be able to fill your pcp even once without changing the reg output. It is best to buy the smaller tanks built to be used with pcp rifles like the guppy Joe sells.
