Hello all.
I've wanted to get into pcp airguns for a while, but didn't want to spend a lot of money if it turned out not to be interesting.
I want this mostly for night vermin that want after my chickens.
I watched a ton of youtube videos about budget rifles and narrowed it down to 2. The Air Venturi Avenger and the Umerex Gauntlet 2. I went with the gaunlet 2 SL 25cal. and a Umerex Readyair compressor.
I had problems right outta the gate getting it to air up. I watched a few videos, nothing worked.
A quick internet search brought me here and here I found the solution. So thank you all.
What eded up working was removing the bottle to fill. Knowing that the compressor doesn't register until 150lbs would have help also.
I'm not sure if this compressor will stand the test of time, as it struggled to get to pressure. I got it to 4300 and called it good enough.
I put a mag through it last night, and let it sit overnight to see if the pressure holds. Good so far.
Again thank you all for the help.
