AIRGUN REVIEW Brocock Concept Elite

05 December 2014 / 61 views / American AirgunHunter

Dec 5th 2014 The Brocock Concept Elite 22S6 is a high performance PCP hunting rifle in a compact package. The LOA is 38” and weighs in at about 6.7 lb. Brocock Specialist Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=134DT... Airguns of Arizona: http://www.airgunsofarizona.com/ The Concept shares many attributes with another Brocock model, the Specialist, but unlike the stripped down and very functional Specialist (which I hunted with, reviewed, and loved BTW), the Concept is equipped with the features you’d expect in a full sized premium gun. The Concept is dressed in a thumbhold stock shaped from a piece of nicely figured walnut, with sharply cut checkering on the pistol grip and forestock. The muzzle is threaded and the air reservoir, which uses a 30 mm airtube providing substantially more onboard air storage than other Brocock carbines while still looking and balancing well. The gun is cycled via a bolt action that has two slots in the receiver, the front locks the gun for firing and the rear serves as the sole safety, holding the breech open in a non-firing position. This bolt was a bit stiff at first, but is loosening up as I put more pellets through it. The pellets are feed through a cylinder that holds 6 shots, and is sturdy and reliable ….. as a matter of fact it is the same unit used in most Brococks multi-shots. The gun fills to 200 BAR, and is connected via a proprietary fill probe…. Fill it up. Bleed the line, disconnect and you’re ready to shoot. I sat down at my indoor range to test several pellets, getting a one hole 6 shot group with H&N Baracudas. A big surprise, I tried several pellets including my JSB Exact jumbos which quite atypically, the gun didn't like. Both the H&N Baracuda’s and Baracuda match were far and away the most accurate. Filling the gun to 200 BAR and running the H&N Baraudas over the chrony, there was not a curve but rather the velocities stared high and fell off. Vmax = 772 fps, V min = 694 fps, Vmean = 738 fps over 36 shots with a 78 fps spread. However, if you measure shots 1-18 the velocities range 772-743 fps for a 29 fps variation. When hunting birds I refilling after the 5th magazine (30 shots). Then I braved the MN cold and moved outdoors to shot at 50 yards, and while the groups opened up a bit, they could still be covered with a quarter….. better if I hadn’t been shivering! Shooting offhand at 25 yards yielded up good results as well. Following is a look at how the gun performed for me while on a pest control shoot for Eurasian doves out in a much warmer Arizona. The number of birds here is incredible, and I worked my way through the feedlots, barns and tree lines bordering the farm. I had the opportunity to shoot the gun offhand, off sticks, and using whatever rest were available. So what do I think? The Concept Elite is one of the nicest compact hunting rifles I’ve ever shot. It fulfilled the basic requirements for excellent accuracy and yielded up power in the 20+ fpe range and is an outstanding performer on small game. While it’s a bit on the loud side and the bolt was stiff at first, it is ergonomic. Points well. And is a blast to shoot. This is one I’m buying for my collection. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "Seneca Eagle Claw on the Prowl for Abert's Tree Squirrel" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfkfr...
