anyone have any experience with kral mega puncher ?

I've seen these on sale for 299 . Gets good reviews , I have no experience with pcp guns at all , but I've had a hankering to try one for a while . Looks like you can shoot slugs with these ,too ?

The thing that's holding me back is the need for a pump ,or air tank to fill one with . Most of the pumps cost more than this rifle . I live in rural N,W. Wyoming , so dive shops are pretty much out of the question to get or fill a scuba tank. Any suggestions for an affordable pump ?

I had a Kral Puncher Breaker bullpup awhile ago.

The Turkish walnut stock was beautiful. The action was kind of crunchy, but OK.

I wound up selling it when it was pretty new, as I preferred my Air Arms S510 Xtra FAC. The new owner had something in the trigger mechanism break almost immediately.

I wouldn't recommend Kral unless you can easily return if it something goes badly. The affordable rifles of choice now are by AirVenturi. I have a "Bull-Venger" (bullpup Avenger) that I quite like. It replaced my trusty (but LOOOONG) S510.

I just found the video review I did on it:

Well , I couldn't resist . Seemed like a great deal , $299.00 on sale . Regularly close to $500 . It came fully charged with air , and after about a week in transit. So it doesn't seem to leak. I put a Bushnell 4x12 with adjustable objective on it that was on sale from midway , and managed to get it sighted in with 3 pellets .So far so good . Seems Kral Arms are imported thru Air Venturi .

Now I need a pump of some sort . From what I've been reading moisture is a real problem with high pressure pumps. Does anyone use the cheaper pumps on ebay - amazon ? If so are you able to add a dryer of some sort ? I am thinking a hand pump should work fine for my use , pesting around the barnyard and house . It's .22 cal. , should be fine for sparrows , starlings and Eurasian doves .
