The Ghost trigger is an all new design. A very impressive modular design. Very nice as shipped around 1 lb. Can be made with lighter springs to be under 6 oz.

Brocock Ghost
- Thread starter SteveG
- Start date
I have pictures! All be it "spy photos" , but legit 
... Rossi had it covered up with tape and stickers during the early part of the event. I joked with him about it being a "modified Brocock" and he laughed and said " 
Hmmm, maybe", end of conversation 
. Mauro Marocchi , the "Ghost" designer and Rossi officially reveled the new Daystate Ghost at the EBR Awards Banquet Sunday afternoon, Rossi peeling off the "Top Secret" stickers that protected the new name Ghost and breach block design. Was a very different presentation compared to the Delta Wolf...
Real nice gun and is very well designed IMHO.

At my private range right now testing the new BRK Ghost .177 FAC Carbine with the short barrel and 300 cc bottle 
It is very good ! Will also be getting parts to set it up in .177 HP with the polygon barrel and 480 cc bottle
Pictures and video will be out tomorrow, when the rifle officially releases !

How about a hint on the overall length? Is it quiet with just the shroud? Does that top rail have built in + MOAs? I would love to have one in hand.

Don't always agree with douger and feel 'terrible' is a bit extreme, but in my experience with a few Brococks I have to agree that for the money the trigger isn't what one would expect. A good trigger, on par with a Wildcat, but definitely not great like an AAA or Daystate trigger or up to the standards of a Cricket. More along the lines of a Edgun R5M hunter trigger feel, but with a lighter break.
That's not saying the Ghost trigger will be the same. Hard to tell from the pictures, but it appears to be more of a match trigger with adjustable height and cant on the blade. Time will tell.

My Atomic XR has the same style trigger and shoe… None of my three Brococks have suffered from “bad triggers for the money” posted here. I must be a lucky fellow. Also we all understand what makes a great gun goes beyond simply “the trigger”. Good shooters make do with “all kinds of triggers”. That said @RB-AOA, posted you can adjust the Ghosts trigger to 6 ounces. This gun is going to rock… like the rest of the lineup. The smaller “form factor” of the Ghost, Atomic and Ranger. Make for super sweet handling afield. Time will tell? The Brococks are a proven, evolving lineup of PCP, lots of actual “steak” with the “sizzle“.

I would say my Trigger on the Brocock XR was not as great as one would expect from a $1000 plus air gun. I did adjust it and it was better. But until I spent another $50 and got the upgraded trigger with the adjustable trigger shoe, only then was the trigger what I would call "very good"
The fact that Brocock started to replace the old style triggers with the newer adjustable ones, indicates that they knew the triggers could be better.
And they improved it. Many of you who got the newer triggers, did not get to experience the older design that was not a good trigger out of the box.

Maybe they've made some changes for the better. Last Brocock I had was about 2 years ago. But you are sounding a bit fanboyish in your replies here. Don't put the cart before the horse.

Yeah old style really sucked 8-10 people will agree we cut springs and stuff. Then it was temperature sensitive in oem form. Bet that new one sure a winner
Old style vs. newer style

I am unabashed fan of the brand, didn’t you know that? That fandom comes from literally hundreds of kills, great targets on paper. And my first love, lots and lots of plinking… They have all proven themselves equally afield in different conditions and have run like clockwork from day one… So, yes I’m an unabashed fan. The consistent accuracy and reliability never gets old… I use my guns so much that if something was wrong with them I would notice and truthfully post about It. The Brococks have simply impressed me with their solid, practical builds…

It would be interesting to read your thoughts on the Ghost compared to your RW/DW and also your friends Prophet 2 as far as accuracy and overall gun quality, likes and dislikes?

The Ghost is a winner and will be a reference.
The design has it all.
Brocock will sell more Ghost rifles than all other models together.

Brocock has been in the shadows of the other big brands, building solid guns but none of them having a wow factor. The Ghost seems like it will change that.

I like very light triggers as most that I do is target shooting and competition. The Brocock triggers I've used could be made crisp, but not very light safely. I would definitely say they are not target triggers but very good for what they are intended... a solid hunting rifle. I can understand the trigger snobbery but not everyone wants a light hunting trigger so that is how they are supplied... safe and solid.
I've had a Ghost in hand for a couple of months and it is quite solid and the trigger on mine is a nice feeling 8 oz. It can be made lighter but is shipped with a return spring that puts it just over a pound, total. It can make very close to the power of the Delta Wolf and barrels interchange. It will be a great rifle.
I'm not a reviewer, so I'll sign off here and let them do that work. Sometimes it's difficult to not answer but I think tomorrow is the official lauch and lots of the questions will be answered.
