Page 6 - Hill Pump MK3, Up to Reviews

Excellent pump. Requires only 80 pumps maximum to pump up the air cylinder on my Air Arms S400 Biathlon Air Rifle.

If buying an Air Arms Air Rifle make sure you also order the Air Arms PCP Adaptor.

Very well built and the rebuildable feature without the owner voiding a warranty is a great plus by Hill. Very silky smooth if you pump this unit right. The pressure gauge is in check with a guns! Nice t-handle to grip.

Bigger foot base for sure. Also a more flexible hose that is maybe 1/2 foot longer.

On my Marauder which is a 215cc tank from a dead empty to 3000 psi it took about an initial 200 pumps. I do not let the gun usually drop below 2000 psi during a session. To get back to 3000 psi from 2000 psi it takes around 65 pumps give or take. Giving an overall of 5 stars on the fact that I believe this unit will stand up for years of service. If not, you will hear back from me.

the hill mk3 operates smooth as silk, and the moisture removing media works great even in South Carolina summer humidity, I have no issue pumping my tank to 3300psi

the footplate is small, the price is high, but I figure I'll save on the back end by being able to rebuild the pump myself if the need arises.

this is the first and last pcp pump I hope I buy. build quality looks and feels excellent, with proper maintenance I expect it to last years and years. once the hose and gun pressure have equalized(about 10 pumps) one pump approximately replenishes one shot from my dynamax

This is a fantastic pump.Well made,easy to pump and a joy to own.Get one and you will not be sorry.

I would not change a thing.

You get what you pay for.

First of all, thanks for pyramid air for the best packaging I ever had, Everything is safely packed and all looks brand new not like the one's I got else where that looks like crap, everything is crappie package and items. PyramidAir makes me happy whith the package. Ease of use and less effort and get more air for less pump is what I really like about this pump. This is way better than the benjamin pump. but the price of this is double. You can get half the price on a different brand but the exhaustion is double or triple.

Adaptor not included very inconvenient and not mentioned on the description be sure to get one, or it will delay you on using this pump.

If your going to use this on a marauder be sure to get an adaptor that will fit your pcp, I got one here for extra $20 plus $8 shipping.

Everything (honestly)

Nothing

Why use scuba tanks when you can own this? It is more money than other hand pumps, but it takes less pumps and less effort with the Hill than any other. I can pump from 2,000 to 3,000 in 3 minutes in my Benjamin Marauder. Using a pump is much easier than carting a scuba tank around to where you shoot and to where you need to fill it up.

The quality is outstanding. I can pump my Marauder from 2000 psi to 3000 psi in three minutes. I also like the dry pack moisture reducing feature as well!

So far I have no complaints.

If your are getting into pcps and don't own any other hand pump yet, this is the one for you. I'm about 175lbs and I am 6'2, and I have no problems pumping this pump. Just use proper pumping technique using your weight and leverage, instead of trying to use your muscles, and you'll be alright!!!

Rebuildable by the owner, fills fairly quickly

Nothing

When you want a quality product, it will cost a little more. But this pump is worth it. Works best of any pump I have tried.

This pump is top of the line!I had first bought a Axsor hand pump which I started having problems with after second use.I called Pyramyd and the tech department told how to fix it and it worked for awhile but then started to leak air in the other valves again.anyhow I wanted a more durable pump and the tech said try the hill...best advise I've got all year so big thanks to PA!This pump is tough and has a life time warranty!

nothing

when filling your gun watch the pressure gauge on your gun and not the pump.If your pump says 3000 psi then thats the pressure in the pump,not the gun.however this pump will put above and beyond 3000 psi in your gun so keep a check every few pumps when you get close to max pressure.get a pack of the grease too!I lube mine every 5-6 uses and it performs as if its right out the box!Dont be cheap when it comes to a pump..you'll work your self to death with it...put the few extra dollars out and get the hill!you'll be glad you did!

I've have been using this pump to pump up my condor and dragon claw for a couple weeks now and it handles it with ease.

Nothing

Even at 3000psi this pump seems to require less pressure than another pump that I had before this , which I will not mention do to poor performance and failure.

Easy to assemble. Took about 10-15 minutes to pump up our Airforce Edge from 0 to 3000psi. Pump handle has a good non-slip grip molded in. Air pressure gauge positioned for quick reading. Water filter.

Maybe bigger numbers on the pressure gauge. A conversion table on the side of the pump; PSI = Bar. Wider base. Definitely a longer hose. Include lubrication with the product.

From the research I did, this is the best pump out there. Owner serviceable. Lots of parts availability. If you can afford this pump, it is worth the money.

Quality of the build,the smooth operation of the pump,the accurate pressure gauge.This pump has a lifetime warr.The comp. sells a rebuild kit the proper greese.Rebuilding this pump does not void warr.Hill made it easy.Hil made this pump to last.

Nothing on pump needs changing.Price on drying media,or maybe just more for your$,greese little high.The rebuild kit not to bad priced.

If you are on a budget dont buy abudget pump or your shooting time wont be worth the$ you spent.Buy the best and enjoy shooting your baby for quite awhile.This hill kicks ass. Im a $1.45 soaking wet 6'1 & 43yrs old pumping up my rifle cake.with Hill pump 72 pumps 100 bar 200 (180cc)Hammerli 348 pump 0 -200.Used pump 30 times in 1 month.I dont normally shoot air rifles! But when I do it is a Hammerli.Shoot safe MY friends.

First off for those of you who say, using a hand pump is difficult. I recommend all of you stop bein a bunch of little wussies and stop whining. Everyone should be able to pump up a PCP air rifle with ease. The hill pump however makes it that much easier and after all it is free air so you just cant go wrong!!! I have a Benjamin Marauder .177 and pumping this baby up is a dandy! I shoot down to 2000psi from 3000psi(about 3 magazines). That takes about 5 minutes to top it off to 3000 again.

This pump is the best PCP hand pump on the market enough said!

The hill pump company also offers rebuild kits(which consist-of just replacing all the o-rings on the pump and re-lubing it as well). Of course all of these products here you can find at pyramyd air. IT IS a tad bit expensive but hey you get what you pay for people. So if your thinking of buying this beauty just dont hesitate!!! Also if your gonna use this pump with the Benjamin Marauder or Discovery you will need the: AIR VENTURI FEMALE QUICK-DISCONNECT ADAPTER, 1/8" BSPP MALE THREADS, in order to connect to the Marauder's quick disconnect foster fitting.

it's the only one that offers rebuild kits without voiding the warrenty..nuff said.

well,i'd like to see all hand pumps push more air into the gun per stroke,but not everybody is a 6' tall 245 pound man who does this one handed lol. it seems some people struggle quite a bit. eat a porkchop and lets make a man sized pump shall we?

it fills your rifle. it removes moisture.

faster and easier to pump than previous benjamin pump. moisture trap. gauge visible when pumping.

the pump may fall over when not on hard surface. you need to be careful outdoors. pump would be more stable with a larger base

my benjamin pump collected moisture inside and failed due to vapor lock, after going up and down the sierra mountains to the mojave desert several times, due to condensation. it had no moisture trap. the hill does. haven't taken hill to the mountains yet but will next weekend. just got the pump this month. if the hill does get condensation even with moisture trap (although doubtful) can always rebuild it, couldn't do this with benjamin pump

This pump is extremely well built. I like that it can be easily maintained if needed by the owner and parts are available. I found the pumping action smooth and easy. I expect this pump will outlast me.

This pump is very solid and refined. Can't think of anything I would change.

I filled the tank of my Marauder for the first time from the light charge it came with and found it very easy. I took my time and filled to 3000 psi. Stopping for a full second at the end of the up and down stroke, the pump never even got warm. I kept checking the barrel and valve area but they just didn't heat up. Refills from 2000 to 3000 psi are quick (a few minutes) and easy.

Good, solid construction

The handle is rough. The feet/base should be designed so that the unit will stand on its own (I'm using it on carpet; it might be better on a solid floor). Quick release or swivel on the hose (pump end) will make it easier to stow away (otherwise the stiff hose sticking out is an annoyance in storage).

I had to buy the Foster adapter (for Benjamin Marauder) and silicone grease (for maintenance) separately.

Easy to pump, looks well built. Used it now for about 20 times without a hitch.

Larger foot plates, adjustable handle height. Longer charging hose.

Not difficult to pump to 3000psi. Just make sure there is NO leak at all and you'll get to max. pressure easily. I'm 75kgs of average fitness and 1.8m height.

Takes less pumps than my Benjamin to fill my guns.

Longer hose with a female foster fitting installed

Easy to use. And I hope I never have to find out , but easy to rebuild.

A larger foot base.

I hope after years of use I get to say, you get what you pay for.
