Finally a decent review. Thank you so much. All the questions I had were answered you’re the only person that’s done that ! brilliant review I totally appreciate you and the time you took to put this together I’m sold you’re a gentleman and a scholar be well !
Thanks Jesse. And thanks for taking the time time comment.
I have so much. To learn thank you again
Thanks Richard. AOA has this on sale for 1200 hundred dollars, here in America. Same model but FAC. I'm looking into getting this. Your review was by far the most in-depth review that I could find. Kudos to you and your professionalism! It's (as advertised) an 1900 hundred dollar rifle, here in the States. I think thats a good price for what you get. What are your thoughts on that. I'm sure our FAC model will work as well as yours did. Just wanted to thank you for such a great review again!!!!
Hi Moses. Thanks very much. And yes, I have no doubt the Sahara XR will be incredible in FAC format too. And good value at $1,900. Have fun!
@@alphamilitaria2756
Thank you for replying 🙂. It's actually on sale for $1200.00 dollars. I hate to bug you but I forgot to ask you what the length of pull is? I'm a short guy but have hunted with shot guns and rifles my whole life. I've measured the length of pull on my guns and they seem to all be around 14". I understand if you don't have time to reply. No worries! And again thanks for your help.
huge improvement in picture and sound quality,well done.
Thanks Stan. Yes, the new camera cost a fair chunk of change (enough to buy another rifle!)
Awesome review as usual Rich! I'm a big fan of your work!
I am of yours too ! Take care Felipe...
Just a reminder. The front piece that the silencer screws into is just glued into the carbon fiber shroud. My red wolf
Safari .30 cal. front piece fell off the other day with the silencer. I JB weld it back on.
Another cracking review Richard. Question - If you leave a spring loaded magazine full of pellets for a few weeks, can you weaken the spring by leaving it compressed, and cause issues with performance? Many thanks. ATB MMMD
Thanks Max. On the magazine point, I couldn't say for certain, but I wouldn't have though it would do the spring much good. On a separate point, I wouldn't advocate leaving a magazine full anyway from a safety point of view. Thanks again for watching.
Would think in 2022 they could work out how to align the gauge's!
Gauges are all spun around on mine as well. I tried not to notice. Outstanding rifle.
Really good review as always you keep it nice and simple but very informative so a newcomer like me can understand.
Thanks very much Gary. And thanks for watching...
Thanks for another informative review, sound seems to be much clearer in you new 'studio'. Rifle looks good and shoots well in your hands, seemed to me as though the safety gets in the way of the trigger a little bit.
Thanks very much. Yes, warmer too! The safety catch is well positioned in terms of access, but I'm not a fan of catches within the trigger guard, although lots of companies seem to do it! Thanks for watching.
Great video Rich, thanks. It’s my Safari with a different outfit, nice though.
Oh yes, I like the new intro and studio which looks more comfortable than your last media and video studio. 😉
Thanks John...Shorter barrel too, but yes, 99% same DNA.
I love it, but the two pins on the cheek weld are too short to be able to set the hight right… I made them about 1” longer, now it’s perfectly adjustable.
Great review Richard.Looks a really nice quality rifle.I like that you can put a nice compact scope on it too.
Atb👍🏻😀
Thanks very much Justin.
Hi Richard will my Foster fitting for my daystate wolverine r fit this brocock, am i right in thinking the daystate and brocock made by the same company.
Hi Gary - yep, it will snap straight on...
@@alphamilitaria2756 thanks Richard, seriously thinking about getting one , fantastic review 👏
@@garyhaden2390 Thanks very much Gary. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Still sold more on the safari stock tbh! Perhaps it's the start of their new pastel colour range for which you get a free matching t shirt, or emulsion for the living room. 🤔 Thank you Richard.
:) The Safari stock is a beauty for sure. Thanks for watching.
Very nice 👌 👍
Great review, Rich. 👍
Thanks very much...
Yet another excellent review thank you for your time 👍
Thanks Kevin and thanks for watching.
hi richard , can i ask you something pleas ?
i want buy also a brocock sahara xr rifle , my question is if the brocock shot 460 shots in 12 ft/lbs 16 joules with one filling how much shots can do it with 6 ft/lbs 7,5 joules ? do you know that ? i have write also brocock about the shot count but i dont have any info from brocock can you help me ?
Hi Alfie. To be honest, I don't think the power adjuster will result in more shots at lower power settings. It simply chokes off the transfer port so an extent, so the same amount of air is used, but a proportion of it is wasted. I may have that completely wrong and will double check to make sure and let you know.
Thank you very much richard for your quick answer, I thought if you used less air and shot at 7 joules, you would use less air and shoot more shots, but you probably know more about it, I'm thinking about which one pcp rifle should i buy , brocock sahara xr or the
rti prophet performance ,
I am interested in making as many shots as possible, do you know something about the rti prophet performances with a carbon bottle how many shots you can make in cal 177 4.5mm in 7 joules
thank you richard
I really like the copperhead scope. It fitted all the criteria for my new scope but when it came to making the purchase I just couldn't get past the blingy 'copperhead'. I wish it was a copperhead, with a removable copperhead that can be replaced with a black head.
Good review of the rifle, I like the shorter barrel 👍
Thanks for watching. 'Tis a great scope though...
Buy a Discovery vvti or a Vector air veyron ,its essential the exact same scope .
@@fieldsportcymru4636 Cheers for that, I'm going to check it out now.
@@jrsuk1170 Ive had a few Discovery vvti and a vector air veyron and both are great compact scopes and cheaper too for what in essence is just a rebadged one with some copper coloured trim on it .
how many shots in 177 fac im in the u s
Hi Phillip. You can expect 120 - 140 shots at 18 ft. lbs.
Good review Richard👌👌👌👌👌👌👌😎😎😎😎
Thanks very much Alan.
Thank you again for another thorough review.
Thank you Stephen for watching.
They do look good, but unfortunately the Sniper XR I bought new couldn't hit a barn door. Grouping was awful, with it shaving pellets and it was slightly over its 12 ft lb limit. It went back to the shop for a refund and I bought an Impact that's been faultless.
Clipping from the magazine? - a replacement magazine might have easily sorted it?
Think that safty unit is way to close to the trigger. Beautiful rifle though. And the price is too.
Brocock.......nice guns, I mailed their technical department with the question of what is the inner dimension of the airtube of the Brocock Contour .22 single-shot............in millimetres, as I would like to place a regulator.......unfortunately, so far, no answer.............................
Hi mate, you can adjust the regulator from underneath the rifle, theres a hole behind the fill port
Hi. Not on 12 ft lbs rifles unfortunately! Thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 i have a sub 12 uk sniper hr, my reg can be adjusted from underneath
@@THEGHOSTMAKER1 Did you buy it brand new? There should be an anti-tamper sticker to make it clear that removal would indicate a desire to turn up the power on a sub-12 ft lbs rifle, making it illegal (over 12 ft. lbs.)
Got the bantam sniper hr , its my go to gun for rats in the garden ( rare , but there is a few in the summer under the bird feeder ) and excellent down the range .. just to add , turn the power down to half (6.2fpe ) and practice hold over ect at different distances .. great fun ... great grouping at 30mtrs at 6fpe .. great review Richard , and a very very nice rifle ... duz the new style mag fit the old style brocock? ..
Thanks Mark. The new magazine will fit the breech but the probe also has to be changed. You can modify the existing probe, but it involves using a Dremmel (!) to grind down/cut off a lug at the back of the probe. Its not for the faint-hearted and if you're in any doubt its something best left alone, or sent to Brocock/gunsmith to swap the probe for you. Thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756
Thanks for the info Richard , and taking all into account , I think I'll leave it as it is ..
what was the group size? Not familiar with that target face to have an idea?
Hi Dave. Taking the silencer off seemed to affect the point of impact a little. I've been using the Sahara a great deal and it shoots as well as any other rifle. Single hole 5p groups are not an issue!
In the video he states that all brocock xr magazine fed from the right, not so,I have a brocock sniper xr that magazine is fed from the left
How old is your rifle? Current models have the magazine feed from the right.
@@alphamilitaria2756 my rifle is a couple of months old
@@MarkExley1972 Hi Mark. Unfortunately that doesn't mean your rifle is bang up to date current model (who knows how long it could have been sitting in the gun shop/supply chain?). Current shipping Brocock rifles have the magazine enter from the right. That's not to say your Sniper XR isn't a superb rifle and in every other regard it is identical to rifles coming off the production line right now.
Nice video but are you a sailsman for mtc
Thanks. Well, to be transparent, we do sell MTC on our store (alphamilitaria.com) but we also sell Konus, Element Optics and other brands. However, I call things as I see them. Thanks for watching.
Does the stock have a rubbery/tacky feel?
Nope...Its not a soft touch stock.
@@alphamilitaria2756
Good! 😀 I was hoping it wasn’t,it makes a big difference to me.
Thanks,I appreciate the reply 👍
Is the stock cerakoted ?
Hi. I don't believe so. Only the barrel is in the Sahara finish, the block and all the other metal is black.
mm my compatto only likes h&n barracuda match ? ft
Did you paint the back wall the same colour as the rifle on purpose? lol
No. They painted the rifle the same colour as my wall.
@@alphamilitaria2756
Good job you didn’t have 1970s wallpaper!
Your "new" Studio: The background is too bright.
Thank you Spielberg.
@@alphamilitaria2756 If you made the background 18% gray, then both black and white objects would show clearly.
Nothing NEW... SAME AS previus BROCOCK BANTAM...
Hmmn. Quite a bit has changed since the days of the Bantam. Unless you mean the Sniper XR, in which case I agree with you (as mentioned in the vid). Thanks for watching.
Will the polymer stock become sticky over time? They always do.
It's not a soft touch stock, so no issues with it getting sticky.
