Roger's advice: buy through Amazon when you can. Returns are easier, and if Amazon offers a protection plan, add it.

Overview

Air Venturi's smallest compressor, and the lightest auto-stop portable on this site at 15 lb (12 x 5.25 x 9 in, with a top carry handle). Set your pressure up to 4500 PSI and it shuts off on its own. The power supply is built into the unit, so it runs from a 110V or 220V outlet or a 12V car battery with nothing extra to carry. It's fan-cooled, needs no routine maintenance, and comes with power cables and a fill hose. Air Venturi publishes fill times for real rifles: about 7.5 minutes to fill an Avenger from empty to 4350 PSI, and about 14.5 minutes for an Avenge-X or an FX Impact M4. It's designed for filling PCP airguns only, not tanks. Air Venturi support is based in Solon, Ohio: 216-220-1180.

Roger's Take

"My #1 pick, purely on price. It's portable and affordable, and when something goes wrong you can call Air Venturi and reach someone who speaks English. For most shooters filling a rifle or two, that combination is hard to beat."
