That is obviously a brocock monoblock. With that small barrel, there’s no way this thing is making 65ft lbs. I’m calling bs.
It looks like a compatto that was rebranded by western, which makes sense knowing western is owned by AOA which is also the sole importer of daystate/brocock.
Sorry for all your trouble, but I’m glad it’s come together nicely. I just picked up another classic myself. Even with parts rarity, it’s hard to find another gun as simple and rugged as the classic.
I’ve been busting on my vet 2 this whole time for being heavy, but after removing the scope (which came already in it), it’s much much lighter. Got me thinking. I’d definitely keep it if I could find a replacement that was lighter, but I’m not spending the same on the scope as I spend on the...
Yeah, and the more ridgid barrel system because of the air in the shroud. A solid barrel that didn’t change poi every time you bumped it is exactly what fx needed. Now in bullpup form to cater to those that like more compact options, and this is a sure seller!
I’m really liking the leopard. May have to jump back into fx. Utah said they’d be available end of April, early may. May have to start saving my Pennie’s.
I spoke to taipan the other day, and they are planning on adding dealers to their USA network starting with edgunwest. I had also voiced my concerns about putting all their eggs in one basket, and I’m guessing we’re not odd men out on this opinion. Fingers crossed for a better dealer network...
It wasn’t cheap, ($400 with barrel and shroud) but if it makes 2 guns out of one with just a barrel change and maybe a tweak of the power adjuster knob, I’d be a happy man.
For those wondering. I called AOA, and spoke to shayne. Yes. The barrels are the same, so I promptly ordered one for testing. I’ll let everyone know what I find when it comes in. This should be interesting.
What barre was in yours? LW or TJ?
Mine is the newer version with the burst disc under the chassis. I’m pretty sure it’s the TJ barrel, and wondering if it makes a difference. I know my mini with TJ barrel was stupidly accurate to 100yds with 18gn jsb.
Before spending some money on lead, I wanted to know what everyone is shooting out of theirs. I know the 18gn jsb seem to shoot well, but anyone using anything else?
