The obvious change to current Brocock models is that there’s a sidelever action to replace the traditional bolt action. However, there’s many other subtle changes “under the hood”, as we’ll find out.
Below. We mounted a MTC Viper Pro 3-18 x 50 AO scope to a Brocock XR Sniper using UTG Pro rings.
I first saw a prototype of the new Brocock sidelever breech assembly at the Extreme Benchrest competition in October 2019, but was sworn to secrecy about it.
Now we can reveal that this new sidelever action has extremely smooth operating characteristics. It certainly gives a sophisticated, quality feel to the cocking action pellet loading in the new Brocock XR series air rifles.
The tactical-style sidelever operating handle is “grippy” and easy to use. It’s also attractive and sits in an ergonomically-convenient position relative to the trigger.
However, the new sidelever action is not the only improvement incorporated in the new XR series. Brocock says that there’s a number of technical improvements, including a revised hammer and valve assembly which increase power output and the number of consistent shots per fill.
In addition, the firing system has been refined with ultra-fine tolerances. There’s an improved trigger set-up from the factory, too.
Brocock says that the barrel now has an even higher level of finish to the bore.
Brocock XR series air rifles, save for the base XR model, include a HUMA regulator system. This system has been developed by the Dutch regulator specialists in conjunction with the Brocock team.
All models in the new XR series include an on-the-fly power adjuster, 10-shot magazine, single shot tray, choked barrel, integral shrouded silencer and a match-feel adjustable trigger.
If you want to add a 0dB second stage silencer, that works, too…
