Reason #1…. Well, that’s about as far as I got on this topic haha!

But seriously.., every time I’m browsing AoA I find myself attracted to this short-barreled high-shot-count side-lever bottle-rifle, and I heard a rumor the “sale” is ending soon 😆

So, if anyone has a good reason to NOT purchase one, speak up now… and I’d love to hear input and see some gun p-or-n pics if you do have one!

Here’s another reason… you did ask…

The Brocock Speaketh

Gents, Those of you who pay any attention to the occasional drivel I post know that I am a big fan of the Brocock Sniper platform. Given this, and the fact that L. Leon had pulled ahead of me in the Ultimate Brocock Fanboy competition, I quite logically concluded that I should have another one...

Another one

The Grapes of Wrath

My apologies to John Steinbeck… Gents, My Brocock Sniper Sahara driven, .177 caliber crusade against my arch nemesis the California ground squirrel rages on, much to the chagrin of the ground squirrels. I’m sure you’re wondering why the thread title is the same as Steinbeck’s literary...

Brocock ar very good rifles.

In my opinion they have the must comfortable safety on the market.

Doubtless are among the must comfortable rifles to shoulder !

I agree… I am lucky enough to own a XR Magnum Safari edition in .22 and oh boy is that a nice gun to shoot!
That’s partly what’s got me considering this shorty barrel non-magnum version in Coyote Tan… I know they are excellent rifles. I’m just running out of parking space!

Honestly, the only reason I can think of that I shouldn’t buy one now while they‘re still on sale is the fact that I’m supposed to be saving all my pennies for a Evol Paradigm 🤩

I'm not getting one!😅
Out of my current price range 🫠 some point in time I will own am epic cool top tier pcp. Just not doable for me right now. (The other day I FINALLY broke down amd spent a little dough towards our hobby😶‍🌫️from midway; ordered am RWS lock down scope mount amd a UTG Bugbuster 3-9x40 combo to install on my newly acquired DIANA from the one and only @L.Leon 😍🥳 I've heard so many good things about both of those items that I finally caved in.😅mmmmmainly because the sent me an email about their specials...then came across those 2 things and went ok that's it🤓 I'm getting them!!(Wednesday or Thursday delivery) buuuuuut....kind of depressing at the same time for me....had a lead slinging date all planned out for the lady and i...but we had heated words last night for hours amd she left this morning to go to her parents house for awhile...then told me she didn't know when she would be back.😔 hoping she will see the light and come back before the items arrive.(ive got her a slinger still boxed up and brand new as a surprise*pump action bb slinger*) if all else fails...I'll turn around and surprise my grandfather with it instead🤷‍♂️...
And that's why I'm not getting the bro😅🤙

Heavy triggers on various BRK models.

Post in thread 'Ghost trigger is sending me over the edge...lol' https://www.airgunnation.com/thread...ing-me-over-the-edge-lol.1295228/post-1549792

The triggers on my two Atomics are fine, a little adjustment to the sear engagement was all that was needed. My Pathfinder? The trigger was so bad I thought the safety was on! I adjust the sear engagement, but only got marginally better. The cocking seem stiff in comparison to my Atomics. I sprayed some BLAST dry lube onto the cocking lever lineage, the cocking got immediately as smooth as the Atomics. And the trigger is now on par with my other two BRKs.

I have the Sniper XR Laminate in .25 and have found it to be one of the best airguns I've ever owned in decades. Accurate, great light trigger and built like an airgun should be..Solid and not finicky at all. That AoA sale looks like a really good deal.

I noticed there's also this in the used inventory!
That's also a good deal that's hard to pass up.

I'm not buying either.

I'm going to cave.
I'll tell the wife hoping she'll say don't do it but she won't.
She's my airgun enabler and I love her.
Hopefully by that time the price will go back up and I won't be tempted anymore....

MACTEN,

What pellet weight and velocity are you shooting, and what kind of shot count are you getting? Gotta friend looking at that same exact gun.

I looked at the last chrono data and I used 25.4's at 877 average(43+ fpe) for 55 shots with (stopped short or 6 mags for some reason) 10 fps ES and 2ft/s standard deviation.
