Ghost BRK Ghost HP .22 vs Leopard sniper

[guidodg]

Howdy all...

I am considering a BRK Ghost HP .22 since they are discounted currently in my country.

I was previously considering an FX Leopard Composite .22 700mm sniper but the Ghost has always been on my radar.

A few questions...

-will the Ghost HP with the 28" .22 barrel shoot medium to heavy slugs well [ compared to the Leopard] ?

-does the 28" HP version only come in a slug version or is there a pellet version as well?

-any other considerations like noise levels, reliability etc..?

thanks!

I don’t know the leopard never had 1 but i know my drs tactical in 700 and it will shoot slugs better than my ghost with the 28” 22 barrel.
The ghost has a 23” pellet barrel also.

so I see the Ghost has 2 barrel options in 28” , one for pellets and one for slugs.

the 2b being the slug version ( and the same as offered on the one sold here)

You are correct

Check the ghost tuning thread starting about post 38. There is some discussion on the slug barrel

The Ghost is just built better, it has less orings which = less leaks. You will need the 28” 2b to shoot heavy slugs and the FX will need the heavy liner to do the same. The FX liners are cheaper than the Ghost barrels.

The only Ghost i've seen come equipped with the 28inch pellet barrel was the world record edition? You would have to specify that you want that barrel i would imagine to the dealer.
If shooting pellets i see no reason to want the 28" over the 24" minus the lower reg pressure.

Ordered my slug barrel in spring and I still don't have it, Brk is slooowwww to build/stock their barrels. I have high hopes for it with slugs but have heard both good and bad results.

On simplicity to service or tune the Ghost wins, which is why i went Brk...
Accuracy with pellets is a toss from what ive seen, and if chasing slugs i'd give the nod to the FX for sure with more barrel options.

The ghost will more than likely benefit from a trigger tune, takes an hour or 2 & mine is absolutely perfect now. ( @Billm still needs to do his trigger)
Power wise they are both capable, and both can be had with a bottle or cylinder.
What will you use the gun for mostly?
