Yep - some of the really amazing PSP (?) types use such high pressure air bottles, the compressor needed to fill them are wicked expensive. Much more than the rifles themselves.
Some people use huge shop-type gas cylinders (to fill their rifle bottles), filled up at specialty gas places, or scuba shops - but that’s if they’re around and willing.
You can refill with hand pump, which I have done- but you wanna be in very good shape to do so. I eventus,,y bought s pump for $450- totally worth it. Had it for several years now. The pump can run off the car battery too which is really handy in the field. I get about 120 shots before needing a refill, but to be honest,a day put p,inking means 120 shots hoes by really quick, and you definstely want another round of 120, so the pump is worth having lol
I have one of these, it is as minimal as you can get for a 22 rifle.

That Savage Model 42 looks real good on paper so I got one several years ago. The sights were so poorly regulated that I could not reliably hit any target with either barrel. OTOH, I have two old AR-7’s and several 10//22’s and I love them all.
w1n1 is moonlighting. His day job is as a shill for 19fortyfive.com.
Which is indistinguishable from American Shooting Urinal in terms of sheer worthlessness.
I really miss my ar7. Whatever showed up in the peep sight had a hole in it when I pulled the trigger. Just perfect. Got stolen :-(
