The Umarex Zelos is a an affordable pcp air gun in its own right but it's really long!

How about a Zelos Compact that's only 27-1/2 inches long not counting the moderator.

Better?

A 475mm barrel gives you the best compromise for length vs brush clearing.

Firewalker , how did you come by that name ? In the show Walker Texas Ranger his real name is Firewalker.
I was wondering what are those green mags u are using in the Zelos. I seen you said .22L or 220 cc that is even less than the 250cc tube. I only bench rest, so I just put a 500 cc on my .22 cal Zelos. I did not like the guage on the adapter, so I put it in the plenum.
I really like the custom short one , and as you said great bush gun.

OldVet,

Sorry to bother you with so many questions, but I've got a Zelos arriving today. With bottle mod's etc, I already see it as a future money pit.

Does your .5L bottle contact the barrel/shroud at all?

If not, Is it rigid enough that it would not contact it if hunting or resting the bottle on a improvised hunting rest?

What (exact) bottle is that?


Thanks,

Jerry

It's an aluminum bottle not for hunting as it's heavy at 2.5 lbs. I paid 40 for it from Amazon , and it has lots of clearance from the shroud. There is a .7L bottle on eBay for $133.76 it is carbon fiber , and very light at 1.5 lbs.
It seems to very rigid. I only bench rest , and I set my bottle on bags to shoot.
It's never a bother to help a brother.
Edit: I just wanted to ad that you can set the regulator up to 3,000 psi. , and the regulator adjustment in the instructions are backwards.

Pretty sure the mags are from Big Air Precision He's a GTA member. I have a few of his Notos mags and they work great! I need to start getting a cut of the proceeds as I recommend Troy all the time! lol

I'm a catastrophic burn survivor and I took my name from the title of a book by a dear friend who's husband had his foot severely burned when he took a "fire walk". They have helped me along my journey to achieve a sense of normalcy.

The mags are from my friend at Big Air: https://www.bigairprecision.com/Zelos.html

I make the Zelos conversions available in any bottle size you wish to use. The caveats are that the bottle has to be 61mm or smaller in diameter and your moderator has to clear the bottle. I have answers to the issue as well via PM.
