Fill port cover looks identical to my Brocock Bantam? If this new rifle is short & light, then i'm interested.

Today there was no wind. I got off from work and although I had a million things to do I just had to grab my new toy and see what she likes. Her first outing a couple of days ago was with slugs and although I tried a bunch I couldn't get great accuracy at 40 yards. And I tried everything from. 22 Daystate howlers to NSA 17.5 grains. 217. Griffin, etc.
So today it was pellet time. Mind you I was stressed with the stuff I had to do so didn't really have time to break out and set up chrony ( like I should).
In any case I started trying different pellets and I was getting disappointed because I wasn't getting good groups. Until finally!!
I saved the best for last with the pellet I was HOPING it would work and it did! Allow me for now not to say what pellet it was because I only found one place that they have them in stock and don't have many and I am waiting pay day but will say it was say in the 16 grain realm.
But here is the group at 40 yards. First 5 one hole low and right. Adjusted a bit to hit higher. Bingo one shot just right of the bullseye. Adjusted a bit to the left and a bit higher even so not so shoot out my aiming point and emptied one magazine ( 11 rounds? ). If it wasn't for that one flyer O would be looking at one hole. Not bad for resting in a sandbag and nothing in the rear.
I am only left with 20 or so pellets from that tin so b4 I order more I just want to see how it performs when the wind picks up a bit.
But I am a happy guy.

The gun can fit nicely in a backpack.
Also view from the target to where I was shooting from.

Is it really a mystery gun…? Bet you know what it is… a Baby Bantam aka the new BRK Pathfinder. Someone already posted an pic from IWA.

That was not my intent, I was asked by AOA not to post pictures of the gun, videos or detailed review until the oficial launch. The pellet, as I said have found only one shop that has them in stock in limited quantity and until I put the order in I don't want to chance it and jinx it. Reason I posted in the first place is because I never had an airgun before that I was the first person to own it. Honestly, I don't even know if anyone has it in any part of the world for that matter.
Its funny that it ended up on my hands by a pure mix up!
