Ghost BRK Ghost .30 Review

[AtlasAirguns]

I did this review a bit ago. I will be doing a
22 HP review as well as a Carbine review soon enough, but for now this is the lead I have put on paper. I shoot all the calibers pretty regularly.


What can I say about the Ghost? First you can tell how much thought went into it. Built up on the Daystate Alpha platform, I wonder how many years actually went into it's development. It definitely took some time, and the Ghost definitely reflects that. It is one of those airguns that I just love to shoot. My personal preferences if I can't name every single barrel configuration lol are the .22 Carbine and the
30. This video shows my experiences with the .30:

The one small thing I see people wanting differently is an Alpha stock on it.


Kind regards, Atlas

...no chrono...what kind of velocities will the .30 Ghost develop...???...

...I am thinking I might not have picked the best coyote rifle...

...no sure I am a big fan of the 1-30 " twist on the HP barrel...

Typically the 44s do well at 890, but you can crank it up higher if you want. I've shot 44.75grs.up to 1000fps but they are not as accurate as the lower velocities between 870-900.

The BRK Ghost is a great rifle.

...I am hoping to see 900 FPS with good accuracy with the 56 grain Zan pellets...that should be an honest 100 FPE...

...this doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility...

...the .22 HP barrel I have is shooting 18.13 grain JSB's @ 985 FPS with excellent accuracy and I am hoping to see the same tendency with the .30 HP barrel...

...I am starting to understand the 1-30" twist rate for pellets Idea but I don't know if the Ghost will push a .30 cal. 56 grain pellet faster than 900 FPS...

Do let us know if it does! I think it may be possible but I'd hate to see how high a reg pressure and how low a shot count to get there! I recal some dude on this forum had a 700cc bottle on his ghost .30 cranked waaaay up and was getting 40 shots per fill on it or there abouts

How far do you expect to shoot these coyotes at?

 

[Hapo]

...not actually expecting to shoot any per say...50 yards would be the longest shot I would feel comfortable with...

.22cal would be fine at 50 yards with a well placed shot.

I've heard it said airgun hunting past 200Y an animal (esp coyotes) can duck the shot, but with that much fpe in 30cal I'd think up to 100Y and in should be fine/ethical. That's about my tested comfortable max on anything when air rifle hunting. My .22 blows through 1inch pine/spruce without issue at 25 Yards. wonder what a ..25/.30 cal can do

...I found the information I was looking for hidden in this instructional video...

...it was right under nose, eh...he is even using the Zan 56 grain pellets...

...I had guessed somewhere else that I would need to adjust the regulator to aboot 170 to get 900 FPS...

...it looks like the Ghost just might get there maxed out...
