To start I am very new to air guns as this is my first one so I don't know to much about them. I bought a brocock sniper xr. When I first received it I cleaned everything and set up to test it out. After firing a few shots and testing the fps I noticed pretty wild deviations. On low power they would spread out anywhere from 503 to 462 Jumping as far as 30 fps between shots. Then I noticed the regulator After sitting for about 10 min would climb all the way up to 152 bar. After shooting about 4 shots it would be down to about 125 and start acting more like I would expect. It would drop 10ish bar right after being fired and have a very quick return to 125. Even at this point I would still easily get 10 fps difference from shot to shot. My dad bought the exact same gun and was within 2 fps every shot so I assume all the testing equipment was working fine. After setting it down again for the night the regulator was reading 152 bar in the morning. Are there any simple checks I can do before sending it back for warranty? Please keep in mind I am very new to this so nothing can be stated to simply. Thanks for the advice.
Brocock/BRK Need Help! I think my regulator is not working

So out the box as you describe its not shooting consistently? How many shots did you actually record in your chrono strings? Was all this from a full fill? The .22 Sniper typically comes with the regulator set at 150 BAR. Are you saying your regulator is set at 125 BAR? If you actually describe methodically how you tested. You will get the help you need here. The Sniper XR is a solid choice and typically is good to go “out the box”.

Yes this was out of the box. I probably shot 100 rounds. The other gun we got is set at 125 that seems to be working. If it is 150 then mine will not stay a consistent 150 at all. Mine was charged to about 180 or so from the place I got it. My dads was charged to about 220 so I was also wondering if mine had a slow leak.

Do you think it safe to put a full charge in it I could not find anything that says what the reg is set at from factory. I don’t want to charge it all the way and have the reg creep all the way to 250 bar haha not sure what problems that could cause other then one hell for a shot coming out

Yeah, I’d fill it up to 240 bar see where the reg is. I think the max pressure the reg can do on that rifle is 170 bar? If it’s still fluctuating after 50 shots or so I would send it back. VERY unusual to get a wonky reg from Huma though.

Like suggested fill to 240-250 BAR, then shoot it, hopefully the reg settles in. If not, send it back.

That’s an unusually high level of creep and frankly I’d be surprised if that “settled down”. I would advise dry firing through a few fills down to 150 and see if it settles down. No need to waste pellets. If it doesn’t settle after 200 shots, send it in.
