THe Gehman is the one most commonly found , they work OK , Cibles Canada Target , and International Imports might have something . Pilkington Competition has the Hill pump , this fella has an air filter/air dryer unit mounten on the side . It looks a bit more bulky/complicated . I think they go for about $300 U.S. , the Gehman goes for $200 and change Canadian .

I believe so , they will go to 250 bar . The hill is a bit more bulky , you would probably need to pack it more carefully for travel . Pilkingtons seems to think it is the best , that said the Gehman is the most commonly found . It is obviously of acceptable quality . The Gehman is easy to pump , I havent tried a hill .

most of the newer pumps are good, they're mostly dual stages. I got
the HILL MK2 with the dry pack, just to make sure no moisture in my
HW100T, mostly recommended by the airgunner in UK. I heard the FX
is really good as well.
HILL MK2 - 60 bars to 200 bars in about 95 strokes in 10 min. - 12 min.
