Ha! We aim to please! Thanks for watching.

Thanks very much.

Thanks very much.

Thanks very much.

Definitely an improvement over the bolt action...

Thanks Justin. You can't beat a nice bit of walnut can you!

Thanks for the tip!

I hear you. I've got a mate who has a .25 cal. 40 ft. lbs. Concept Lite - the XR's bolt action predecessor. He gets about 25 shots to a fill, which is not a lot but for hunting rabbits in the summer its a great little rifle and lasts several sessions...

@@alphamilitaria2756 25 at 40ft is pretty good. for 150cc, for a hunt enough, even with a few shots to check zero.. thanks.

Ha! You have no idea how long I spent rooting about in my cupboard for that target 'cos I knew you'd moan! I think part of the issue with some of the old bolt action Brococks was that operating that 'slam bam' bolt would damage the pellet. The side lever is so much better to shoot.

@@alphamilitaria2756 Lol .. glad you found it ...

Thanks for watching. The Concept XR is very accurate as well. Completely different aesthetic to the Revere of course other than the fact it is a great lightweight hunter as well.

@@alphamilitaria2756 Thanks for feedback. Think I've seen my name on it.

Hi Graham. Thanks very much. The Concept XR and Commander XR both have folding stock options, and they are very good. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Richard. I think that’s just decided my next rifle. Glad I subscribed 😊.

@@grahamedwards9920 Glad we could help Graham. Both genuinely great rifles. The shift over to a side lever from the old bolt has made a huge difference. Enjoy your new rifle, and thanks for subscribing!

Hi Rod. Thanks for watching, and thanks for taking the time to comment. Both the Revere and Concept XR are available at 40 ft. lbs in .22 which is enough to give you around 1000 fps, or even more depending on the weight of pellet you use. To be honest, at that kind of power you are not going to get many shots per air fill. If its windy you'll likely want to use heavier pellets or slugs. You might want to consider a bottle rifle as opposed to a cylinder rifle. The Daystate Delta Wolf and Red Wolf, for example, or the FX Impact or Maverick. I am sure others will have a view of other rifles too. They are all available in bigger calibres and at higher power levels too; the FX rifles and Daystate Delta Wolf will nudge 100 ft lbs if tuned in .30 calibre. I use a 95 ft. lbs. .30 calibre FX Impact and a 67 ft. lbs. .22 Delta Wolf to shoot rabbits out to 70 metres. I hope that helps. And thanks again for watching.

Thank you for the reply! With your information you have given me. I had better move up to a more powerful rifle. I'm hoping to get only one air rifle and accessories for my needs (maybe a pipe dream lol seems like once you get hooked you can't stop lol) . Getting ready to retire and would like a good hobby. Thank you again. Rod

Hi Oscar. We did a review on the Commander XR Magnum kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jr2YeauYrqu5co0.html which may be of interest. Its my own rifle and gives 55 ft. lbs. in .25 calibre. I use it a lot to shoot rabbits at 50-60 metres. The stock is very solid. Yes, there is a tiny bit of movement but you'll only notice it if you really look for it. In the shoulder I don't notice any movement. I've not noticed an issue with shearing off pellets. The .25 JSB King Heavy Exact mk 2 fit just fine and the new gated magazines seem deeper than the old style as well.

@@alphamilitaria2756 Thank you for getting back to me. I had a look at your other Brocock guns on KZfaq. I also had a look at some of your scope information on your website. Can you please advise me of a good hunting scope around £200, with an illuminated retical (I'm at that age now where my eyes are not as they used to be), yet still gives me a good magnification without distortion? Keep up the good reviews!

@@Oscarhobbit Hi Oscar. Thanks for watching. Ideally you want a scope that has adjustable parallax either via a side wheel or a collar on the objective lens. Variable magnification is handy too, but don't make the mistake of thinking you need 24x or 30x. 16x is more than adequate in my experience. Hawke do some great scopes in your budget range - take a look at the Vantage series. And if you can stretch the budget a little further, there are some good MTC Optics scopes too, esp0eciallin the mamba and Viper series. Don't forget to budget for some mounts too. I always use Sportsmatch because they are guaranteed for life.

Thanks very much Captain. The IR torch in the video, and the one I use most for ratting, especially on the Brocock Sniper XP, is an eBay cheapy, no more than £20-30 is memory serves. Its small and light and plenty powerful for short range shooting. However, when I am out rabbiting and shooting at longer ranges, especially if I'm using an FAC rifle, I use a Solaris SRX IR Laser Illuminator. It is very good but not not necessary for ratting. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

@@alphamilitaria2756 Thanks for the quick reply. I note that you mention the Brocock Sniper XP which doesn't seem to appear on your website as having been reviewed. I've seen other reviewers from KZfaq (several from America) make comments that are very favourable as regards to its accuracy. Would you be kind enough to give some thoughts as to your experience with it, pros and cons?

​@@frizzle1002000 Hi Captain. We've got a short write up on the Sniper XR as part of the Brocock range. alphamilitaria.com/air-guns/air-rifles/brocock-air-rifles/. But you're right that we don't have an in-depth review. We are scheduled to post a video review in a few days’ though which I hope will be of interest. To be honest, quite why Brococks don't have the same profile as other brands is a little bit of a mystery to me. They are real hidden gems. The company was acquired by the group that owns Daystate in 2014. I think its fair to say that there was a ‘bedding in’ process because some of the early rifles suffered reliability issues. However, in the last two to three years there has been a marked improvement both in terms of quality, reliability and design. The Daystate influence has really started to come through now and although the ranges are separate with different positions in the market, the benefits of the acquisition started taking effect a couple or three years ago. For example, all Brococks are now fitted with a Huma-Air regulator - one of the best available - as standard. And the entire range shifted from quite a clunky bolt action to a fantastic, smooth and efficient sidelever about 18 month/two years ago. A new gated magazine with bigger capacity similar to those on Daystates, is also rolling out now as well. Brocock pioneered the semi-bullpup category with the Compatto and Bantam, and the Sniper XR is an evolution of the Bantam. It is light and compact, gives good shoulder fit thanks to the adjustable stock and scope mounting options, and has great shot count that is consistent across the fill range. I use a Sniper XR a great deal for ratting and stalking rabbits because it is really quiet thanks to the shrouded barrel, and almost silent with a silencer as well. Good luck, and please keep an eye out for our video on Feb 18th.

@@alphamilitaria2756 Thanks for your in-depth reply. I'll look forward to seeing the review on the 18th.

Hi - yes it does. 11 shot .22 and 13 shot .177.

Hi William. It's just a different style of attaching a scope to a rifle. I believe the original intent was for use on large calibre recoiling rifles and military weapons to help prevent an optic moving under recoil. They have simply become fashionable for air rifles as well.

Great choice. As a regulated rifle, you can charge to 250. With regards to the scope/eye relief, do you can a raised picatinny rail, or the dovetail rail? This might come in handy too: brocock.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/BROCOCK-B5-XR_HANDBOOK-2020.v3.pdf

@@alphamilitaria2756 Have just used the dove tail that is on the rifle to utilise the mount's that i already have. Borrowed them for now off my revere. It's just that the peep end of the scope is too far back for me. Cant get the stock back into my shoulder without having my eye too close to the scope.

@@fatbloke2285 And you can't move the scope forward in the mounts? I've got a regular scope on mine and there's plenty of room (not that that helps you much!). If not, the SWAT is a fine scope, but I'm not a big fan of the dovetail adapters, so I'd recommend a Viper Connect - a bit cheaper too.

@@alphamilitaria2756 Much to ponder on! 🤔 Thanx for your input. Keep up the good work! 👍

@@fatbloke2285 Good luck. I hope you manage to sort things out.

200 bar 👍

:) I should introduce you to my 100 ft. lbs. .30 calibre FX Impact!

@@alphamilitaria2756 : I was just giving you boys a ration of shit. I understand you need a special permit to have anything more than 12 ft/lbs. No disrespect was meant...except perhaps to the nanny state that doesn’t trust its law abiding citizens with unrestricted air rifles. What are they afraid of? When was the last murder or mass shooting with an air rifle? Anyway, I enjoy your videos, and understand that you have to live within the confines of the laws of your government, no matter how ludicrous they are.
