Brocock/BRK Pathfinder XR an under appreciated gem…

When I first received my Ghost Carbine, for a while I thought my Pathfinder was in jeopardy of being sold. Then I downsized the scope and fell in love again. The Pathfinder is but a smaller Commander or Sniper XR. With the TP on low, sending CPHPs, it has been stellar from 25 to 64 yards. Sure kills on small rodents out tp 50 yards. My groups at 25 yards with CPHPs when “I’m” on point? Simply… 💥💥💥 And while I really like my Ghost Carbine she is a portly gal, even in its carbine configuration… I have an Athlon Helos 6-24x50 atop which adds mucho weight. Am still in the process of sussing out da Ghost. The Pathfinder is an under appreciated, seriously capable PCP, first shot this morning? Dead on, second shot after an eight hour workday? Dead on… Am lucky that my trinity is composed of two Atomics, a Ghost and Pathfinder… So I get to contrast them at will. At the moment the Ghost is struggling to find it place in my repertoire… When the Pathfinder had the Aztec Emerald 6-24x50 it was simply too portly as opposed to the sweet WHT 3-12x44 it currently sports…

Leon; Thanks for all your input on the compact BRK's. Had an Atomic, nice gun but I wasn't happy with shot count and traded it for a Cricket Mini Carbine. I'd had a Mini Before and missed it. Killed 5 ground squirrels with it today 32 - 74 yards. I've been going back and forth on the Pathfinder vs. Ghost and just pulled the trigger on a used Ghost on this forum. I missed a Pathfinder last month because of indecision. Won't receive the Ghost until the week of the 30th because I'm out of town all next week. Keep up all the good info. This will be the 6th Brocock that I have owned.
 
@L.Leon, how much does your Ghost and Pathfinder weigh? The Ghost is definitely a chunk, mine has to be at least 10lb with the HP barrel and Arken EPL 4-24 and bipod. They sure are accurate as heck.
Don’t know the weights will have to get back to you on that…

As an "outsider" looking in and reading, I have to admit that I see very few unsatisfied BRK owners. I have yet to pull the trigger on a high-end PCP, but I try to keep in mind brands that are more prone to problems. I won't say a Brand cus last time I did i was put in AGN Gitmo! lol Good looking Rifles!
I’ve been lucky to have owned six different BRKs. And other than dislodging an Oring on the inlet valve of my Sniper from filling too fast… Zero issues across all six..,
