I’m very tempted to buy a Brocock Atomic XR. Are there any alternatives that I should be considering for the same or preferably less money?
I watched some videos and this thread is great.
I also browsed this thread, but nothing jumped out to me more than the Atomic.
Mostly will be plinking and targets in the yard 15-50yds and occasional FT.
What I want:
Accurate, enough to try some field target with it, but I don’t need any better than the Atomic for my skill.
Compact, folding is great but doesn’t have to if it is reasonably short.
Sub 20 FPE, preferably in .22, or tune to sub 20 while maintaining accuracy.
Decent shot count on a fill.
Consistent shot to shot.
Removable magazine, the only thing I don’t like about the GK1.
Quiet enough for backyard with neighbors.
Would be awesome to have semi-automatic also, but that seems to be a different beast at a different price point.
Also looks like the Atomic is reasonably reliable and repairable, so that is a strong plus. Any bad experiences?
