Friends,
Update - AoA repaired my Bantam under warranty and I haven't had any other issues with leaking.
I just acquired a brand new Brocock Bantam Hi-Lite and am majorly bummed because it has a slow leak. I filled it to 170 bar last night and now it's down to just about 100 bar. It is not cocked - I wonder if it has to be cocked to hold air?
Any advice on what might be the problem? I've read of a few other folks having leaks with this air rifle.
I'm going to contact the retailer tomorrow and am thinking about just returning it. Hopefully, they'll offer to pay shipping both ways if I opt to have it repaired under warranty but I've always bought used so I'm not sure about what are common industry practices.
Of all the PCPs out there this model is the perfect fit to my needs (adjustable power, appropriate FPE, light, near silent, great ergonomics, etc.). However, if it won't hold air it's of no value to me.
Thanks for any advice.
Joe
