Hi sproat, you have done something wrong with the links, but I managed to use them by copying and pasting into address bar. Takes me back quite a few years, I bought a few of the Brococks around then, my favourite was the Fox, used to carry it in an inside pocket around my shoot and had a few rabbit meals from it.(Also looks like you are very keen on BSA pistols!).

These pictures were from a catalogue my father bought his rifle from back in the 90"s,picture of the fox added

[Benelli B76]

I see the Brocock Fox was £169.10 new on its own and £262.40 in the boxed kit. I sold my kit complete for £150 when I needed some dosh.

Good to see this, I had a Cobra and a Predator. The Predator was one of the most fun guns I have owned.

Anyone remember the break action single barrelled rifle made to work with TACs ?? I think it was Spanish made and styled like a shotgun.

If you can make out the ft/s on the safari and some of the pistols they seem low by today"s rifles and pistols they seemed quite impressive back then suppose it was the method of charging that made them feel more like their real counterpart

[Benelli B76]

Was much easier filling TACS with quick fill system using the adaptor shown below. Used divers bottle or one stroke of high pressure pump.

I'm still pining for my Orion 6

[MikB]

I had a Python 63 and still have a Pietta Colt Navy in .22 TAC.

Neither is anywhere near as accurate as a decent conventional air pistol, or my EB20 CO2 pistol.

A couple of thou cylinder misalignment might not matter much in .38 or .44 calibre, but it certainly does in .22.

They could have made a much better job without much extra cost.

...beg to differ, they could not have done much better, for what it was/is the price was right. Interestingly one of the best groups I ever shot was with a Western which in my opinion was the best they did for what it was Best reflex shot workshop mouser I ever owned

[mrto]

I had many Armi San Marco and Uberti Colt SAA replicas plus the Schofield S&W and a Uberti Remington. I found them all very accurate,but for some reason the Remington particularly so.

...always had the feeling that because the SAs locked up the action and then had a single crisp trigger break they were always easier to shoot better groups with

As long as you got the charging right they were as accurate as any other air pistol of the time (the slim jim hand pump had a tendency to warm up during use so the last cart you charged had less air in it (when all the carts cool down to the same temp) the stirrup pump was better but still got warm after charging 40 or so, the ram charger was the best as the last charge of air was as cool as the last)
With all revolvers there is a forcing cone so as the bullet/pellet jumps the gap from cylinder to barrel the forcing cone guides the pellet/bullet into the barrel, once it's in the barrel and rifling begins to spin the pellet physics takes over
As for they could have done a better job, all of the shooters I know who had a go with my Orion 6 had real pistols before they were banned and they said it was better made than the real thing, some of the import tac revolvers were made by HW and the frame and barrel was the real thing (yes the company known for its air guns mkes real guns as well) they just replaced the cylinder with one that's been machined out to prevent live ammo been used

[sbd]

...just said Orion range were HW, others Umarex.
