**Umarex Zelos .22 Bottle Conversion — Is upgrading from the factory air tube to a larger compressed-air bottle really worth it?**
Welcome back to Backyard PCP Airguns!
In today's video, we're taking another look at the Umarex Zelos .22 PCP air rifle, but this time we're upgrading the original air reservoir to an aftermarket compressed-air bottle setup.
The Zelos is already a capable PCP airgun, but can a bottle conversion make it even more practical?
We'll take a closer look at the original configuration, the bottle conversion components, the upgrade process, and the finished setup. We'll also discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks, including increased air capacity, added weight, balance, and whether the cost makes sense.
If you own an Umarex Zelos or are considering a PCP airgun bottle conversion, I hope this video helps you decide whether it's an upgrade worth considering.
