I'm about to get a hill pump, which to get? the one without drypack is selling 175US at Mac1, and the one with drypack is 315CAD at D&L. Is the Drypack really usefull(I'm plaining to fill a QB78 now and maybe some high end pcps in the future)? Will I need to change the drypack often if I use the pump every day?
thanks

I use mine almost every other day, I haven't change the dry pack yet but
it's about a couple months old. It's recommended for my HW100T but
I don't think it's a must.
That's very good price $175 USD .... saving about $50.00 CDN. after taxes and ship.
I don't think you'll be needing to change it often eventhough you use it
daily, unless the place that you're using the pump is very damp.

Personally I went the scuba tank route. It works out to similar up front costs, but it takes about 30 seconds without effort to fill my gun. It could go a lot faster but apparently that is not good for the gun seals. There is an ordinary paint ball quick disconnect adapter on my gun, so a yoke on the scuba with a paintball fill adapter works and you can use a 3500psi 18" hose from princess auto.

thanks, I think i'll go for D&L, less hassle with custom and less waiting.

Good choice, I'd do the same ....
There are a couple guys I heard that were buying those pumps from D&L
lately, I hope he got lots in stock .....

The next one I like to try is the Logun's pump. Also I'd like to get the
Bauer compressor or Fx compressor but for now I enjoy the exercise.
