Rez 4,961 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Wow. Not seen this just yet. Not watched it but will later after MOTD. From just the image, it's like brocock are jumping on the DS look... which isn't surprising considering the close ties of tony belassss or whatever his name is. He's MD of both companies ain't he...? So it's a cross between a DS and a compatto. Actually it's a good marketing plan, they're essentially putting two models together, the compatto and an air ranger and selling it as a completely new model, of which it obviously is.

si brown 8,486 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 watched it last night... looks ok prefer it to the compatto and if the string graph is true then its spot on! Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,563 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 A bit of Rapid, Bull pup, Air Ranger look about it. Harper valve system - I`m no gunsmith but I`ve read a few "pulled faces" reviews some where. Walther barrel, - oh yes please. Absolutely nothing there to make me want to part ex the HW 100 atb p.s. DD, ---- Dreaded Daystate. 1 Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I'm not a big fan of sprung loaded mags, and the 22 yard shots should be one hole, pellet on pellet. I like the look of the bullpup style, but I can't help thinking my 100 will stomp in into the ground. 2 Quote Link to post
philpot 5,062 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) The Compatto had it's issues at the start but there are quite a number of very happy users out there now, the new follow on gun, the Bantam offers a Rapid/ R10/ Impact type of gun which I feel tick a lot of boxes for many shooters. Price will be the all important factor with this gun. I like the options that are on offer especially the carbon fibre bottle and the shot count that goes with it. It will be interesting to see how this develops but I would not buy one of the new models for a while until Brocock/Daystate has had time to iron out the issues that seem to go with most new guns launched as most new models from most manufacturers seem to have issues these days. I like it on first viewing. Phil Edited December 4, 2016 by philpot Quote Link to post
