  there is a big price increase for the Bandit,it does does have  extra 170fps in.22 which is my cal.of choice.

  My question is how many shots does the Bandit get,how many shots the Chaser gets per fill?

Can someone help me out with that? and how to you like your Bandit or Chaser,would have traded for one or the other....Big question ,do you think the Bandit is worth that much more?//

    I am Not going to hunt ,just shooting target within 15 to 20 yards,Thank you for your input,Jesse

Bandit is PCP, Chaser is CO2.  So unless you are already equipped to fill a PCP, that price difference is only the beginning.  My .177 Chaser with FFHDD gets around 40 good shots off a single CO2 cart.  PCP gives you the advantage of not being as temperature sensitive.

The Bandit non regulated PCP I got one in .177 hated the grip.  shot a mag through it was like a tire going down fast. Then a week later broke off the bolt handle so I put it way for s couple month.  

pulled a disco regulator out of my deck gun drilled the Bandit for the regulator and a 1cc plenum behind it. Then bought a master blaster stock kit for it. Sent Austin a couple LW barrels to alter. 

Added a 17" LW to it plus a barrel band my last tune. 

reg set 100b 200b fill 
Mag1 636, 628, 638, 640, 636, 634, 638, 631, 618
Mag2 638, 638, 635, 626, 637, 640, 639, 650, 638
Mag3 632, 632, 631, 642, 639, 617, 640, 641, 644
Mag4 630, 655, 636, 640, 646, 658, 629, 619, 629

lets look at the price

Bandit pistol, 1 mag and a LDC    let say the LDC is worth 30 to 40 bucks, we know the mag is 20 bucks, so that is 50 60 bucks

the Chaser is 70 bucks so you are really looking at as little as a 20 buck difference

now the Chaser kit is a better value and if your punching paper FPS is a non issue

if you have PCP filling needs  already buy the Bandit if not the Chase as stated or if you do buy both that Chase barrel just might fit that Bandit

I have 3 Chases in house 2 kits and a pistol

be aware the mags in my opinion are annoying to load not hard just annoying, one reason they are small in size

which ever you pick you should be happy

just my thoughts and opinion

take care

mike
