It turns out, despite having basically no manufacturing in my area, I am able to get nitrogen delivered to my house. ~500 cf, 6000 psi, for less than $200 US (that's the yearly lease for the tank + the one fill + the one delivery). There was no mention of other fees, but there's probably taxes on it too.
As the topic title asks, is nitrogen the way to go, if my plan is to acquire a top tier air rifle, or two....or more (over the next several years)?
I'm guessing one tank will last me about a year. If that's accurate, it works out to 15 years to spend the $3k I would have spent on a compressor....not considering inflation increases. And not including maintenance parts, fluids, and time spent working on the compressor.
Am I missing something? Why would I not go with nitrogen? I have a "safe" place to store it, and the only way it would get tampered with is if someone deliberately broke in.
