I was looking into getting a scuba tank so that i could fill my bottle at home. I was wondering what would be the best and cheapest way to do this

Buy a second hand 300 bar one if you have 4500 psi tanks,or 232 bar for 3000 psi
You will then need a fill station to decant and a dive shop/ gun shop or site that will fill it for you.
I got a 300 bar 12 litre one in test from e bay for £100 had to collect it though.
Check air rifle and diving sites for second hand ones or buy new if worried about it failing test.
Testing periods are similar to paintball tanks.
Plenty info on here.

Advertise here and on other sites for second hand fill station ?
3000 psi are cheaper than 4500 I sold mine or £15!
300 bar 12 litre dive tanks are pricy ,new have a google.
e bays OK if you know what you are looking at and factor in collection / postage costs.
Dive shops usually have a for sale board.
Factor in a test cost if close to re test date.£30/40
Or the Airgun site airgun BBs has second hand ones sometimes again join and ask.
