Page 5 - Hill Pump MK3, Up to Reviews

High quality pump that is a cut above the competition. A little research in the airgun forums shows this pump is worth the premium price.

Not a thing.

At 53 years old and 155 lbs it takes suprisingly little effort to bring my Talon back to 3000 PSI after use.

Well made. Easily maintained.

Nothing.

Be sure to get the proper adapter for your air gun. It has 1/8 BSP, so you will most likely need an adapter.

This is a nicely built, heavy duty piece of equipment. The moisture trap is only one of it's kind, the handle, foot bracket have plenty of over kill, regarding durability, this easily falls into an industrial type item. This is the first English product of this type I have own and am VERY impress with it. The top selling point for me was the fact it is completely serviceable and rebuild able. Have no regrets about spending an extra $100 for it. Reading forum posts about how many pumps it would take to fill a PCP I was surprised "although I didn't count" that this pump topped off my rifle way sooner than I anticipated. No hard facts here just my first impressions...

Nothing at all.

You get what you pay for.... :o)

Does not take very long to fill my Crosman 1720T to 3000 PSI. Approximately 40-60 pumps depending on how far you let the pressure go down. I never let it go below 1000 PSI. Seems very well built. Will see how it lasts over time.

Cost is a bit high. Hopefully the quality will justify.

very good pump. have had the air venturi and the air force pump. they r not no where close to this pump. very easy to use. trust me spend the extra money and u want go wrong.

maybe a wider foot plate

if u hunts a lot u would b better off with this pump. the air venturi nor the air force pump will hold up to that kind of use. thanks pyramyd air

I've been using the Hill Pump for about 2 months now on my Benjamin Maurader 25. It has worked as advertised without any issues. I feel the moisture filter is a BIG plus on PCP guns.

Some kind of device where you can carry it from the handle without the pump extending.

The Hill pump in my opinion is superior to the other less expensive pump on the market. You spend an lot of money on a gun, you shouldn't scrimp on the pump.

Sturdy...works well. Can get a 3000+ charge on my Maurader.

Hate...seriously hate the very short hose. WTH?!?! I have to lay the rifle on the ground when I use the pump and it started to scratch the gun. I resorted to laying out a towel or using the plano case. Still it is very awkward to use with such a short hose. Need at lease 2-3 foot hose rather than a 1 foot hose.

Better eat your wheaties...if you're below 2000 PSI, its going to take some work to pump back up to 3000 PSI. I rarely go below 2000 PSI to avoid this.

well made and supported

longer hose

It is deluxe, but I need exercise at my age, most would go scuba refill, but this is good exercise for old geezers like me.. very well made - rolls royce. has drying element and kicks moisture out.

Appears well made, initially. Quite expensive, but probably worth it compared with other options.

The bag that contains the desiccant has about 10 percent more than is needed. Thus, when I poored it in, it overflowed all over the carpet--very difficult to pick up all those tiny pellets of desciccant. Obviously, this was my carelessness. Nevertheless, it would take no effort for the manufacturer to put the right amount in the bag.

Very useful. Pumps my Marauder well, albeit with great effort.

well worth the $, just make sure you get the right fitting.

just take your time to work the pump

Top notch quality. Ease of use. Assembly very easy. Compatible with Air Venturi Microbore Hose, DN2, Up to 4500 PSI, 1/8" BSPP Connectors, 24" Long

Nothing other than if it were free! LOL

If you want this pump for your Marauder, here is what I did and it works awesome! I got the Air Venturi Microbore hose mentioned above and the Air Venturi Female Foster Fitting. The hose has the exaxt same 1/8" BSPP thread that the Hill Pump requires. After doing some redneck testing, I believe that I am able to fill my Marauder with less pumps using the microbore hose. Not a major difference but it was less. I believe it is because it takes less pumps to get the line to the gun up to the same pressure. ex: Marauder already at 2000 psi and you want to pump it up to 3000 psi. It takes me 6-7 pumps to get the line up to the same pressure as the Marauder then it begins pressurizing the Marauder tank. Hope this helps some folk who have questions about how to make this work with the Marauder. Don't hesitate, it is 110% worth the money. Oh and I am 5'9" 157 lb. It is not a problem for me to pump this thing at all. Just make sure the relief valve is fully closed and pause at the top of each stroke for a couple seconds. Basically chill out and don't rush.

Amazing Pump, I, like many, was on the fence for quite a while between tanks, pumps, compressors, and man am I glad I went this route. Deciding factors?? Exact fill pressure each fill, independence, safety, and ongoing expense.

As everyone else says, it needs a longer hose and should include a female foster connector.

An 88 cubit foot common 'scuba' tank pressurized to 3000 P.S.I. contains 1.3 MILLION pounds of destructive force. This is more that two sticks of dynamite and it is not pretty when things go wrong on this scale. I'll pump a much smaller tank (my gun or a 'guppy) thanks!

Look no further this is the pump for pcp rifles. Solid feel totaly rebuildable.

Nothing to change they got it right !

Great pump, built like a tank.

Include female foster fitting.

Don't forget to get the correct adapter for your gun.

A great product.It's very well built.

The hose end fittings are, British threads, It would be nice if Hill included another hose or fitting for American made air guns.

If you use this pump on American air guns you will need to figure a way to adapt to the british threads. Fortunately, I was able to get a local hydraulic shop to fix me up on my hose. But I really don't reccomend this as the pressures are so high, it would be better to get the right fitting from PA to do the job.

Easy to assemble, Very little effort to pump to 3K psi, exudes quality, very nice design, Excellent volume per stroke compared to AF pump. Cant attest to longevity yet, but it feels like it will last a long time.

Larger dial numbers

Im getting twice the psi per stroke with the mk3 I was with my junky airforce hand pump. First stroke on the hill pump had me in disbelief, it literally takes 1/3 the effort. I was skeptical about differences in pumps and comments till I bought one after my second AF Pump died (first in Dec 11, second in August 12.) This pump is amazing. My 130lb wife cn use it the AF pumps literally lifted her off the ground.

Easy to assemble, smooth operation. Pump feels like a high quality tool in every way. Maintenance parts are readily available.

Nothing

I use this for my Air Arms S410 TDR. When the pressure drops to 110 Bar I fill to 175 Bar. It just takes a few minutes and never becomes strenuous. Perfect for my needs. Yes, it is expensive but is worth it.

Easy to use. Not a lot of pump effort needed.

Price but it is worth it

The ability to rebuild the pump. the moisture removal method.

hmmmm make it electric

It take about 10-12 pumps to get 100psi. selling point to wife I'll get in better shape!

Well made, has air drier. Simply the best! Buy quality and buy once.

Include a paper manual. I downloaded the .pdf manual here on Pyramyd, but for the price they should include a hard copy. There are pictures on the back to get you started, but every owner should have the manual.

Yes, pumping up a PCP gun this way takes a little effort, but it's not that bad. Really. Being heavy helps. A stout, hefty person has an advantage! Don't forget to order whatever adapter you need to connect this to your gun!
