   Your only options are the compressor, a dive tank setup or, you could probably go to a dive shop, and they might give you a fill.

	Now just got to figure out, how to pump it up, have been using a hand pump but have had shoulder surgery and shoulder just won't hack it, much pain. Got my name down for one of those GC shoebox setups bit hesitant, any advise appreciated.

	Can't ask for more than that! That's a nice group for sure, and you'll be popping bunnies left right and centre.

	The 15.81 jsbs proved themselves again so gabbed a couple of tins. Would have preferred the 18.13s but it is what it is.

	Sighted in today, got it all good for 50M then messed with the zero stop had to start again bugger. Back to 25M with 1 mrad high hold gives me a 50M zero all set with the zero lock. Finished at 25 check check at 50 all good. Surprise was the 16g pellets at setting 6 1 off max, speed should be 900ish seemed to like these.

	Back to where it was to start with, slightly under 100 plus hammer spring tension backed off heaps also as well.

	Great to hear. A chrony is really important for your air rifle. What did you end up setting the reg at?

	Just wishing to thank XYON for his time today, spent a couple of hours sorting out the mess my Wildcat was in. With a decent chrony / tuning my way over cranked reg settings. I now have the magic 900fps and am not wasting air achieving it. Many Thanks again

	Done that, one Side mark P other S so now have the S slug side down, did give me slightly more bang. surprised when I looked down the barrel it appeared rifled all the way down, was expecting the breech end to be smooth. Chrony seems to be erratic, does read lot, error signs coming up. Put a pellet into a piece of 4by2 & pentation was twist as deep as when I first got it, so will source another chrony to test.

	Yea, was going to suggest that. I had wondered if gauge was off, but that's too much difference.

	Damn, more mysteries to solve. One thing to check, is that FX updated the the transfer port design, so that there are are 2 ports to choose from (big and small) by rotating the barrel 180 degrees. Maybe your wildcat has the small one facing down (ie the one that is in use?)
