The LOA is 38\u201d and weighs in at about 6.7 lb.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">The Concept shares many attributes with another Brocock model, the Specialist, but unlike the stripped down and very functional Specialist (which I hunted with, reviewed, and loved BTW), the Concept is equipped with the features you\u2019d expect in a full sized premium gun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Concept is dressed in a thumbhole stock shaped from a piece of nicely figured walnut, with sharply cut checkering on the pistol grip and forestock. The muzzle is threaded and the air reservoir, which uses a 30 mm airtube providing substantially more onboard air storage than other Brocock carbines while still looking and balancing well.<\/p>\n<p>The gun is cycled via a bolt action that has two slots in the receiver, the front locks the gun for firing and the rear serves as the sole safety, holding the breech open in a non-firing position. This bolt was a bit stiff at first, but is loosening up as I put more pellets through it. The pellets are feed through a cylinder that holds 6 shots, and is sturdy and reliable \u2026.. as a matter of fact it is the same unit used in most Brococks multi-shots.<br \/>\nThe gun fills to 200 BAR, and is connected via a proprietary fill probe\u2026. Fill it up. Bleed the line, disconnect and you\u2019re ready to shoot. I sat down at my indoor range to test several pellets, getting a one hole 6 shot group with H&amp;N Baracudas. A big surprise, I tried several pellets including my JSB Exact jumbos which quite atypically, the gun didn&#8217;t like. Both the H&amp;N Baracuda\u2019s and Baracuda match were far and away the most accurate.<\/p>\n<p>Filling the gun to 200 BAR and running the H&amp;N Baraudas over the chrony, there was not a curve but rather the velocities stared high and fell off. Vmax = 772 fps, V min = 694 fps, Vmean = 738 fps over 36 shots with a 78 fps spread. However, if you measure shots 1-18 the velocities range 772-743 fps for a 29 fps variation. When hunting birds I refilling after the 5th magazine (30 shots).<br \/>\nThen I braved the MN cold and moved outdoors to shot at 50 yards, and while the groups opened up a bit, they could still be covered with a quarter\u2026.. better if I hadn\u2019t been shivering! Shooting offhand at 30 yards yielded up good results as well.<\/p>\n<p>Following is a look at how the gun performed for me while on a pest control shoot for Eurasian doves out in a much warmer Arizona. The number of birds here is incredible, and I worked my way through the feedlots, barns and tree lines bordering the farm. I had the opportunity to shoot the gun offhand, off sticks, and using whatever rest were available.<\/p>\n<p>So what do I think? The Concept Elite is one of the nicest compact hunting rifles I\u2019ve ever shot. It fulfilled the basic requirements for excellent accuracy and yielded up power in the 20+ fpe range and is an outstanding performer on small game. While it\u2019s a bit on the loud side and the bolt was stiff at first, it is ergonomic. Points well. And is a blast to shoot. This is one I\u2019m buying for my collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve just posted a video on the Brocock Concept Elite, and will be adding more information on it soon.
