On a serious note get a good water oil separator for your compressor is going to shoot all type of crap inside ur airgun tank. A refill tank station is a must to really enjoy continuous shooting i have 3 tanks all different sizes

Great choice, my .25 HP is coming today(hopefully in one piece). Glad you avoided the FX disappointment. Hand pumps are hard to use on bottle guns and they put more moisture in the gun, emergency only. You can dry fire as long as the bottle pressure is higher than the regulator pressure, I do at the end of a session to clear/safe the gun. Make sure the gun is uncocked/closed before adjusting the hammer spring wheel also. Only raise the reg pressure(turning out) under pressure, if it needs lowered(turned in) you have to degas first or damage the reg. AOA has good youtube videos for most common Ghost things.
Good luck out there!

This is very good to know. This is exactly the stuff I need to learn before making costly mistakes!

Any particular unit you recommend for a separator

There was a powder burner shop in Missouri that for an extra $5 he would give you a receipt for "truck repairs". I explained a few purchases away claiming "That damn truck broke down AGAIN!"

This is my first real air gun outside of a cheap gamo something or other… Felt like Christmas today because I was able to open up the gun, moderator, hand pump, compressor, and scope!

Scope- Meopta 3-18x56- I can’t believe how good this thing is out of the box! I have plenty of $2k+ scopes and I am super impressed with this thing. I specifically bought a Meopta because I don’t have any and have heard good things. Well so far, I am very happy with the results. The glass is unbelievably clear for the price range. The illumination doesn’t bleed and has very good brightness settings. The weight feels somewhat light for the size. Turrets have a good feel.

Rifle - Ghost HP - can’t say too much yet because it’s completely dark and I haven’t had time to shoot it but the fit and finish on this thing is impeccable. It’s a beautiful gun! Weight seems good. Not sure if I can dry fire?! I was afraid so I didn’t but I’m curious how the stock trigger will feel

Hand pump - Hill MK5 - quality seems to be good but haven’t used it yet.

Compressor - GX CS4i - haven’t opened the box yet lol

Moderator - DonnyFL Sumo - quality seems really nice. Can’t speak of effectiveness yet but hopefully soon!

Anyway, was just really excited so figured I’d throw a post out. Thank you to all of you who helped me make good decisions on this stuff. I feel very confident I have a decent setup to start with!

Not a bad choice with the first PCP at all. Welcome to the dark side.

 

[RobBonnell89]

Welcome to the dark side is right . You picked an incredible first gun. Went straight for the top shelf stuff. No turning back now bud. You’re going to have a blast.

Enjoy,
Rob

Not sure why you got a hand pump and compressor, you can get a decent size tank for the price of that hand pump.

Maybe he wants to look like Popeye in a couple of months.

Yeah I think my original plan was to just try it out a couple of weeks with just the hand pump and then go for the compressor. Well 2 days after I bought the hand pump I got the compressor and then a couple days after that (today) I got the 9L scuba tank I am good to go for a while! Can’t wait for nice weather! NY sucks… it’s freezing out right now and 2 days ago it was almost 60….can’t wait to move some day

Oh that ship has sailed. You headed down the rabbit hole® and are officially doomed to never ending costly mistakes.

 

[KatoKevin454]

the GX CS4 is a good compressor, I have a CS2 and CS3, they work great.

 

[n3rdv]

Congratulations ! I've looked at Brocock and other brands. The price of mags were enough to force me to look elsewhere. Good Luck!

There are after market magazines for the BRKs… So you aren’t locked in to buying OEM magazines. Maybe you might reconsider the brand, as they really are robust, field ready PCPs. Spent my evening confirming POI at various distances with my Atomic XR with Zulus atop for ratting…

Tried the hand pump today. Figured my first fill up needed to be entirely by hand. I sure am glad I bought the compressor

As mentioned you're not locked into purchasing expensive OEM mags. To name two builders Charm and Maple put out great after market mags that are 1/4 to 1/3 the price. I use the Maple brand on a few of my PCP's and they are fantastic.
I just ordered a single shot loader from Maple as the OEM one sits in the box as it is awkward to use.

Great start getting into PCP - congrats

Also, this oem mag seems extremely robust! I don’t foresee it going bad anytime soon so I would only generally have 2-3 extra mags anyway for shooting. What’s another $100 on mags when you’re spending over $2k on a rifle.

Very difficult you could have taken a better decision.

That rifle can be converted in a .30 Cal tomtake javalinas and coyotes, or in a 25 to take racoons.... Or in .177 to take the wind and fly everywhere.

Sweet setup! & good choice for your rifle. keep us posted on your progress
