New BRK Ghost Zero PCP Air Rifle

There’s a new BRK Ghost Zero PCP air rifle that’s been announced by the UK manufacturer. And yes, it’s going to be one of the new models that will be seen for the first time by many people at the 2026 British Shooting Show.

The main difference between the Ghost Zero and the other Ghost variants is that it is equipped with a 300 cc capacity HPA tube instead of a carbon fiber bottle.

Some people prefer the looks and handling of a tube-fed PCP air rifle over the bottle gun equivalents. So – if this applies to you – this could be the Ghost you have been waiting for!

But you’ll need to be sure as this is a “one time” decision. Apparently the HPA tube version cannot accept a carbon fiber bottle, should you change your mind in future. But for most people that’s probably not an issue.

With the exception of the HPA source, the new BRK Ghost Zero PCP is very similar to the HAM Gold Award-winning gun tested by Hard Air Magazine. That scored an incredible 98% in our testing – one of the highest scores ever!

The only major difference would be the lower shot count of the Zero, due entirely to the lower capacity HPA tube. The same range of calibers – from .177 to .30 is supported, together with the HP versions which are popular in the US market.

Oh, and the price is a little lower. Probably few people will object to that

The manufacturer confirms that the BRK Ghost Zero PCP air rifle will be an addition to the product range. All the existing Ghost variants will continue to be available.

The Zero will be available in the US too. Airguns of Arizona has them on order and is currently projecting availability in late January or early February 2026. Check out the AoA website for forthcoming price and configuration details.

Certainly gives the Ghost a much more svelte profile.

The Ghost is a great Pcp, i love mine.
However naming this one....The Ghost...Zero?
This was Brk's chance to put a proper (longer) rail under that tube!
Can't fit a bottle later on if you want more shots so your stuck with the low shot count?
The bottle makes for great offhand shooting, i doubt this tube does?
Im scratching my head here lol.

 

[pan60]

I agree they should have chose a better sub name and put a proper (longer) rail under that tube!
but I like the look.
I wunder why they dont put lower rail under their guns the as the two BRKsand those under barrel rails are massively under sized as for length at least on the Ghost you can upgrade.

While I like the concept, for me there is too much space between the barrel and cyclinder. It ruins the esthetics for me…

you shouldn't have said that now I am struggling with it LOL

Looks alot like the Umarex Zelos…

I was thinking the same thing… the struggle continues .

@Luis Leon that's a great point. But I am going to suggest that it looks worse against a white background as in these pictures. My guess is that if we could see the gun against an outdoor backdrop - as it will normally be seen - that it will not look so bad. Just my $0.002.

Yes.
Instead of The Zero......The Tuning Fork.

 

[FL22]

Looks perhaps like the gap between the tube and shroud is to fit a flat blade screw driver on the regulator adjuster. No knob like the bottle version.

Just a guess from looking at the picture.

Have to agree with you because once I had my Ghost Carbine in hand? My immediate thoughts were that the images posted. Didn’t do it justice, it look much, much better in my hands.

Could be its twin lol. The bottle version is far more versatile? if going ghost just go all the way. Bottles available: 300, 480, 580, 700cc. I do wonder how much cheaper it is and if its any lighter? If not much then its dead in the water.

 

[Montster]

Interesting, we gone a full circle in Airguns design. We originally. Started with tube guns that 10 years ago it was the norm to have 300cc tubes with low shot counts and wonderful aesthetics. To oversized double bulge bottles, with super high shot counts.
I’ve always preferred the looks of the tube. But enjoy the higher shot counts of the bottle.

@pan60 Just because BRK isn't going to make an adapter to fit a bottle doesn't mean that DonnyFL won't make you one. Making custom adapters is exactly what he does, besides the moderator stuff.

Why couldn’t a cyclinder simply be swapped for the bottle on the original Ghost? Seems counterintuitive to purchase the Ghost Zero, if you intend on adapting a bottle to it. This new Zero negates the versatility that the original Ghost provides. And again I state the gap between the cyclinder and bottle? Simply a non starter for me and I love the BRK family of PCPs.

True enough! If they wanted to produce a sleeker cylinder gun then they should have moved that cylinder up and decreased that gap. Then they should have put a long arca rail under it to really set it off and make it different enough for current owners to want to buy another, just because.

 

[pan60]

truth be known I could make an adappter if the event ever called for it.
I kinda like the gun I admit it looks a bit odd but it would not be a deal killer for me if I was ready to plop down some cash.
and since I am not a bottle fan if I got one an adapter need I would not ( in my Yoda voice )
but if and or when I snag Ghost it will most likely be second hand but?

Personally I think it screams: “we’re in a design crisis”. They’ve ran out of new colors to use and call a new model and so they came up with a “Zero”. Not exactly what I’d call a new model, just a different trim or edition. Just kidding, not really lol.
