Brocock VS FX / New To PCP World / Advice Needed

[JadedC]

The impact is the top gun in the FX line up, to do an even comparison you would have to compare it to the commander from brocock. They retail for roughly the same price. The lower end XR rifles would be more comparable to the wildcat and dreamline. So there really isn't a price difference if you do a direct comparison.

I believe the XR lineup is a level above the Dreamlines... what you get right out the box is a Huma regulated PCP. Awesome accuracy across the lineup with different projectiles. No adds on needed or necessary, just go shoot. No need to upgrade the regulator or gauges, just go shoot. FX gets the press, Brocock gets it done.

This is my belief as well. Fx is alot of hype. But it is good quality. I feel like Brocock is on the same level.

How does the Commander compare to the Impact?

@l.leon like I said its personal preference. The dreamline has levels of modularity that no brocock comes close to. It depends on what you are looking to get out of the gun. 

@jdjr_1 it sounds like you have made up your mind about which brand your gonna get.

Honestly... my mind is not made up. Lol

Fx makes their own regulators and barrels, I like that. I think the impact is definitely a step beyond the commander in power and adjustability.

That said the commander is probably a great gun, havent heard anything bad about them.

I have the commander hi-lite and a fx dreamline tactical. The commander is more accurate. I am still trying to get the dreamline to group as tight as the commander. I like the dreamline more because of its side lever and that it’s upgradable to different configurations. I have already added a bottle and want to try the arrow launcher. I’m also awaiting on my plenum to ship from airgun depot. The commander shoots good with h&n .217 slugs. The dreamline doesn’t shoot slugs good at all. The commander has little to no barrel droop where the dreamline has significant droop. I have to use adjustable scope rings with it.
‘I have the commander listed in the classifieds(“hint, hint”)

At what range are you grouping well with the Commander?

 

[b121774]

50 and 100. At 50 I get 1/2” groupings and at 100 I get sub 1 1/2” with h&n .217 slugs 23g.

dont kill yourself by trying to eek out every bit of everyones thoughts. both brands are great. get the gun you like the looks and feel the best and either brand will treat you right.

I agree. I'm just trying to find the right gun that fits my need. I was comparing the impact to the brocock sniper. But I realized they are way different in alot if ways. The Dreamline is a closer match to the brocock sniper. So with that being said.... I think I will get the dreamline tactical with power plenum. That should put me upto 25fpe on .177. -3 fpe less than the impact with power plenum. And will keep about $500 in my pocket! Lol And I will still have the ability to change cal.
