Choosing PCP Tank Size: Shots vs Refills

Pick tank size by how many shots you need between refills, how far you are from a fill source, and how mobile you want to be at the range or in the field.

FAQ

Q: What air tank size do I need for PCP shooting?

A: Choose capacity based on expected shots between refills, how far you travel to a fill source, and whether you shoot solo or with a group. Our 2L “Private” setup is compact and ideal for personal range sessions. Larger “Major” setups suit clubs, teams, or long match days. Match tank pressure (300/310 bar) and regulator needs to your rifle’s fill spec.

Q: How do I choose the right PCP air setup?

Pick by shots needed, how far you are from a refill, and mobility. Solo range days favor compact, lightweight tanks you can carry; team sessions and long practices benefit from higher-capacity setups kept on a bench or in a bag. Consider hose routing, valve control, and how you’ll transport/store the system.

Q: What’s the safest way to fill and handle PCP air?

Inspect threads and O-rings, attach firmly, and open the valve slowly. Watch the gauge, avoid heat build-up, never leave a fill unattended, and bleed the line before disconnecting. Store tanks upright in a cool, dry place and keep light positive pressure to prevent contamination. Replace worn seals and any hose that shows kinks or abrasion.

Q: Chassis vs. traditional stock; what actually improves accuracy?

A chassis provides rigid bedding, repeatable torque surfaces, and modular mounting for bipods, bags, and accessories. That consistency makes it easier to build the same position every time, reducing variables that open up groups. Traditional stocks can be great, but a chassis is designed for repeatability, adjustability, and transport.

Q: How do I zero a riflescope efficiently from 25–100 m?

Mount level with correct eye relief, boresight, and get on paper at 25 m. Confirm parallax, then move to 50–100 m for final zero. Dial measured corrections, confirm tracking, and record DOPE. Use a stable rest or bipod, manage recoil consistently, and verify before match day or a hunt.
