Things I would have changed:Longer hose, you have to lay the gun on its side on the ground to fill. I have a 6" bi-pod and the hose wont reach that high
What others should know:This is a workout if you plan on shooting over 50 shots at a time you might want to consider the scuba tank, I will be getting one in addition to the hand pump. Personnaly you need both.
Things I liked:Definitely a high quality American made product. First thing I noticed it is HEAVY it's all steel and definitly built for very high pressure work. Excellent design. I never saw a pump with built in heat sinks before and when compared to a chinese made pump you can see which one was built right.By John from USA on 2012-01-24 09:52:51

Things I would have changed:Add an air dryer
What others should know:The pump will need maintenance. You will need to change orings. My pump stopped working (vacuum issue)after about 400 shots (about 15 refills from 1600 psi to 2800 psi.) I had to replace 1 oring and was back up and running. This is the first high pressure hand pump I have owned so I don't know if this is normal. I had hoped to get a longer life before repair, but the repair was not difficult. Make sure you have assembly/disassembly instructions before beginning any repair.
Things I liked:The pump failed in less than a week so there isn't anything I can say positive about it.By Travis from USA on 2012-01-08 18:13:03

Things I would have changed:The pump seems to create black gue after use. I'm not sure what causes it but whatever causes it that's what I would change.
What others should know:I bought this pump for my Marauder .25. The pump failed in less than a week. I do not know what the specific problem is with it but I am very unsatisfied. I am going to exchange it for a Hill pump.

Things I would have changed:Maybe a longer hose.
What others should know:I have two scuba tanks both hydroed and filled to 3100 lbs. I've never used them. I prefer to pump for the excercise. My Bengy pump services three Marauders. Since I bought it about six months ago I've had no problems. Pump five minutes, slow and deliberately. Rest twenty minutes between sessions. It takes a while if you are filling from empty. If you are just topping off its no big deal. Especially if its a P-rod.
Things I liked:It would pump my Marauder to 2900 just fine.By Steven from USA on 2011-11-21 13:23:01

Things I would have changed:Wider base, bigger handles. Easier storage. Failed after 3 months of use. Can no longer lift the handles. Feels like there is an intense suction.
What others should know:The apparent failure rate on this item is not good at all. Would buy a hill or an airforce next time.
Things I liked:This pump works well. While I know these things are not cheap, this pump is fairly well made and has a nice bleeder valve. You will obtain large muscles from using this thing for sure! In my opinion, a hand pump is a must have for PCP rifles, even if you own a tank. With a rifle like the Marauder, this pump will take you from around 1800 psi to 2800 psi in around 85 to 90 pumps. You will need to take break when you are done!By James from USA on 2011-11-11 09:24:19

Things I would have changed:With time, I feel the price on these hand pumps, along with other manufactures will likely fall a bit. This would be a much better price point in the 129.00 range as opposed to 179.00. Even still, despite many reviews, this pump is fairly well made.
What others should know:You will want to avoid over use of this pump by letting it get too warm. I you take very large shot strings and deplete the pressure in your rifle too much, you might want to fill part way, take a break to let the pump shaft and mechanism cool, and then start again. The goal would be to avoid placing heated air which will condensate within your air reservoir.CommentsBy Hemn Mahmmod from India on 2011-11-15 01:12:49 0

Things I would have changed:Make it reliable. I have had this pump a little over a year. This pump lasted a few months from the factory and I have been struggling with it ever since. The final stage o-rings go out like clockwork. I seem to get between 6 and 20 charges on a Discovery out of a set of o-rings. The manufacturer is Sun Optics. Duane at Sun Optics seems to want to make good on the product but has yet to be successful. He has replaced the inner tube, provided a desicant filter, and sent me countless o-ring kits. I can practically rebuild the pump in my sleep at this point. Duane is supposedly working on a new carbon fiber o-ring to improve reliability. I believe there is a basic design flaw or manufacturing tolerance problem with this pump. Turn-around time from Sun Optics on replacement parts is generally a week or two during which time you are dead in the water with respect to shooting your rifle.
What others should know:If you like wasting money or if you enjoy rebuilding pumps more than shooting then get this pump. Otherwise, I would try the Hill Pump or one of the tank set-ups. I believe the Airforce pump is also manufactured by Sun Optics so beware. Google Sun Optics if you want to see lots of other complaints from people with similar problems. I'm really surprised the average rating on this pump is so high.
