The 25 arrived today. Flawless unfired condition. Barrel and probe are perfect. Cycles without any issues with mag or tray. I found the factory baffles quiet enough for my neighbors. Now to decide to add a regulator or not? I will shoot it through a charge and see how wide the sweet spot is.

That is what happened to me when I use my first BRK awhile… All my other non BRKs were out of luck and were sold off. No regrets…

I'm there brother! I've never owned a high end rifle before. Now i need a 25 caliber BRK Ghost and I'll be set!That is what happened to me when I use my first BRK awhile… All my other non BRKs were out of luck and were sold off. No regrets…
very cool and to who ever it is its raisin pie for you!
Just an fyi, because I did read ahead and know you were gifted a Mod(Nice!), but the 0 dB 110 is awesome for its size. I have shot both, the short and longer, on a BRK Sahara, and while the longer one is a little quieter, it is not worth the additional size. I was just shooting with the 0dB 110 yesterday on my Barra 250z and I'm buying one. It is the best small suppressor that I have used, between a similar sized STO and DFL Tanto. I thought that I could get by with the STO, and wanted to because it's so light, but listening to the report echo back from the tree line, where the 0 dB had none, was the last nail in the coffin for it. Plus, 0 dB's never seem to screw with accuracy. My .30 Ronin on my .22 Barra made my groups go all over the place, the 0 dB had zero effect on accuracy. If you get another BRK, I highly recommend 0dB, they are not just a hyped up name, they work.
Edit: sorry Dogowski, meant this reply for FL22 and SHG
No problem man! I am about to buy another 0db compact as well. I need to replace the one on my custom FX Notos i now use on my Brocock. They do just work great without effecting accuracy. So small and mighty!
That's amazing! What a great thoughtful gift.

You just can't go wrong with Brk. I also just bought a HR magnum 22 from AOA to match my other 22 HR standard. If i thought my std was accurate, the Magnum is it's match. The std has a 12 groove rifled barrel and the Mag has a Polygonal barrel, but both shoot fantastic. These are some of my favorite rifles. I haven't had a chance to go out to 100y with my mag, but my standard, resting of the bed rail of my truck is an easy less than 2" shooter with 18gr pellets.

I was able to get one group of 10 at 50 yards with the moderator on today.
Except for that one, it’s a decent group used the ss tray. I also tried out a target of my own @ 25y and I am satisfied with the results.
I put the short 0db silencer on mine. Very low profile and works great on the rifle. These guns are so lightweight and just a joy to shoot!Picture time.

I will be investing in a silencer very soon.
Gents,
About 5 years ago, I was perusing the AoA Pre-Owned section when I happened across a Brocock Bantam Sniper HR in 22 at a very affordable price. A quick check of my six, out comes the credit card, and the Sniper HR is reduced to possession.
What a rifle.
It absolutely dotes on the 15 grain Hades at low power (610 fps) or, after a quick flip of the switch, the same pellet at high power (869 fps). A few rats and many a ground squirrel have ended up unalive courtesy of the above.
It is accurate, likely the most consistently accurate air rifle I own, and is very easy to shoot accurately. Some guns to me are a struggle to shoot accurately (Impacts), but not so this Bantam Sniper. Everything is pretty much where it should be (except the safety), with no superfluous nonsense to look cool and get in the way present. I don’t even mind the old school bolt.
I hadn’t shot my Bantam in a couple of years as it was set-up with night vision, and if something about needed shooting, I’d grab my Sniper Sahara in .177. This, of course, was unfair to this little doll, so the ATN came off, and a brand new Swampfox went on. I put 16 shots over the chrono that averaged 869 fps, had an ES of 7, and a SD of 2.
Attached is a picture of some groups I shot today. They aren’t gonna make the benchrest boys quake in fear, but I thought them to be pretty respectable. The pasters are .750 for reference.
I have seen quite a few Snipers show up in AoA’s used section over the years at some pretty decent prices. I think they are some of the hidden jewels in airgun land.

Great groups man. I love my Brocock Bantam 22 with a bolt action. As you've shown they are very accurate. I also got mine from AOA at a good price as well!

WOW! Great groups AND penmanship. Envious on both accounts.
Fantastic! That's an awesome gift.

You’re right about that and I very much appreciate still
. It was especially helpful recently while I was creating my entry for the pumpkin carve.
I was shooting from my Florida Room to stay dry, made several hundred shots that did not bother my wife as she was reading in the house.
Thats great. Your wife and the neighbors are happy that way!You’re right about that and I very much appreciate still
