Brocok Contour

Nice review, Thanks.

I bought the XL version last year after injuring my right hand. The light weight and dainty thumbhole stock did not add any aggravation to the already painful wrist!

The stock is a little short for me so I have added a length adjustable butt plate. Reach to trigger is now an inch more and I think that would be more suitable for adults.

That extra stock length also enabled my putting a longish scope on (Mamba lite 3-12), with reach forward mounts. The original stock length and short scope rail limited the choice of scope considerably.

Very accurate outfit now, but the light weight has its downside when taking standing shots on a windy day!

How many full power shots do you get to a fill ? is it .177 ?

Can you shoot Hares with an air rifle in Scotland ?

The farmer on the permissions did not want to see any hares on his land to avoid having guys with dogs coursing, and scaring his beasts, and they were abundant. A properly taken shot (between the eye and ear) even with a .177 pellet dispatches a hare no problem. You could, at the time purchase a game licence from the local post office in order to sell them to a butcher.

just got this and mink is on the list, i think its a bit of a grey area , so hare ,mink ? its not adviced to shoot hares with a airgun is how i read it, ive shot them before with shotgun and there only fit for dog food , horrible strong tasting meat, yuk
maybe hare is classed as game to some and a pest to others .

Yes it's .177 and the 6 shot magazine.

My chrono only works well in good light and for the last few months I have only shot the gun on the clubs indoor range. Lighting is not good enough for the chrono to give reliable results.

When I first bought the gun last summer I did chrono it with various pellets to ensure legality. Also checked that I could get at least 40 reasonably consistent shots to allow a round of HFT.

As soon as we get a decent bit of weather I plan to plot the power curve accurately. No sign of said "good weather" happening any time soon!!!!

On the 20yd indoor range one hole 6 shot groups are the norm with AA Fields - but I get a few flyers. Maybe unsorted pellets or maybe just me as I still have a gammy right hand which seems to develop a "pulse" when it gets achy!

Nice review of I think an overlooked gun sometimes, with a lot of people immediately pointing to the AA200 when junior PCPs are mentioned.
My daughter also has one of these as her gun and they are a joy to shoot. We put a leapers bug buster on hers and it complements rifle perfectly as its so small.
I plotted about 25 decent shots over the crono before power started to drop off the curve in .177.
