TAKE DOWN RIFLES

[tatsblisters 10,404]

This thread has had me trying to think back then when I handled the gun with the pre charged cartridges what make it was and the name of the gun to the point it's bugging me a bit. Any idea anyone

Brocock was the make and they did a galaxy rifle , a bolt action stalking type rifle and numerous pistols all copies of real type handguns .

I haven’t had an airgun for years. But back in the day always fancied a take down. The air arms s410 tdr was the only one on the market back then I think.  I came across these that popped up on social. The Brocock  Ranger XR and the Brocock Pathfinder . I can’t believe how small they take down. With stock folded and silencer off , less than 19 inches ! Amazing. Has anyone owned fired or even held one of these ? What was your thoughts? Am just being nosey , it’s a long time since I looked at anything airifle related. Cheers 

 

Fits into a backpack,very discrete,got to get a compressor for it,putting every shot into a jagged hole at 20 yards,just warming up and I ran out of air,super quiet.

Really impressed,this in a pheasant wood instead of my old BSA mercury at night when I was a kid would have been serious,whisper quiet,smooth,shot on shot.Rucksack and work clothes no one would think you had a rifle in that bag,my midlife crisis begins,I have just ordered two catapults to send to Canada for those black squirrels and muskrats that think they are untouchable.

I know moneys no object to you mate but feck the compressor… get a pump and do it by hand … it’s a regular good cardio exercise , should be a breeze for a man of your calibre …

Yes sir 10mm lead,I will have a look at the hand pump on your advice,but I just thought the compressor would be quicker and easier to be honest,they have a small one in the shop that would be ideal.

10 mm lead …nice that should give them a headache …

. It would be easier with a compressor … but it’s honest"y not hard to pump,one up unless you are a geriatric or unfit . You know you’ve done it though. Think I paid £35 ish pound on Amazon for mine … depends on how often you are going to be issuing it after the new factor wears off ?
