Range & Country - BSA + Hills Compressor Review

[@hawkslayers1]

Had the hills for 7 months amazing bit of kit used every 3 to 4 days for a 4litre bottle or rifle fill and has been faultless British manufacturing at its best

[@byroneckhardt4131]

Hills , hands down . I can fill my diving bottle . And run off that . And it's made in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 by a reputable company that has a great after sales service.

[@joekelly9369]

the BSA compressor is a gx cs3 re badged and £150 added to the price for wearing a bsa badge 😂😂😂😂

[@gooderspitman8052]

Almost, the BSA plugs straight into the mains, whereas the GX uses an inverter.

We are being spoilt, 2 videos in 2 days 👍, I was worried when I seen the chickens go out the gate 😂 Anyway to the compressors, the BSA connecting to the battery, not if you have an electric car I take it then, nice small unit if you only want a gun filled up in the day time. Bit noisy if filling up in the night tho, nice quick set up on that BSA 👍 The hill, like the idea that you can top up your tank, bit more set up on the hills but a lot quicker to fill. Like you said depends on what you want to fill, I think I would go for the hills as I would just use it to fill my tank and then fill guns from tank, but nice to see a review of them 👍

I suppose you could still use the BSA to refill the 0.5Ltr buddy bottle that Best Fittings do?

[@Foxpest]

Useful info thank you. But connect electric dead to live, ie connect item first and plug to mains last.

Price of BSA pump & Hills pump

[@Airgunfunrich]

So the “bsa” compressor has no moisture filter or trap so fills you rifle with wet air, not good at all!

[@PeakyBlinder]

You need to put your own inline filter on it, it's very simple.

[@Airgunfunrich]

@@PeakyBlinder considering it’s a re badged gx cs3, for the extra £150 they are charging it should have that included!

[@PeakyBlinder]

@@Airgunfunrich true, but the cx also needs an online filter, the one in the handle is a fraction of what it actually needs. Cx is ok I converted mine to run off an 18v M18, I'm looking for something that will fill a dive tank though, that hill is looking good.

[@Airgunfunrich]

@@PeakyBlinder but the xx is £150 cheaper ffs

[@jameskissling6744]

What is the price difference between the two?

[@rangecountryairguns5883]

These are both available through our website at: rangeandcountry.co.uk/airgun-charging/?min_price=0&max_price=3799&wpf_count=40&filter_cat_0=897

[@Foxpest]

Hills made in Sheffield? Or is it assembled in Sheffield, from imported Chinese components?

[@rangecountryairguns5883]

They are made in Sheffield, which also helps with any after sales support as they know all the ins and outs of their pumps and compressors

[@Foxpest]

@@rangecountryairguns5883 Then they deserve to have customers from our country. Its very unfortunate that at this time they don't suit my needs.

[@Hipporider]

Where's the BSA made? China? Hope not 🇦🇺

[@rangecountryairguns5883]

They are made in China but with BSA's name and backing you know you're getting a quality piece of kit

[@bessiebraveheart]

@@rangecountryairguns5883 no you don't. We are sick of this Chinese rubbish. It is cheaply made and mostly unreliable. I wouldn't feel safe working at those high pressures with shoddy equipment. It's a wonder that they are allowed by law to be used here. I'm a retired mechanical engineer.

[@nigelbase1196]

BSA made in china....Hills made fully in the UK....😉
