My new Sniper XR arrived on Wednesday! Yesterday I was able to get a scope mounted and try her out. I did nothing but clean the bore, mount a scope, grab some pellets and start shooting. I am really kinda blown away with the rifle in general. To me it has a great stock, is light weight, compact and very accurate. Did I say very accurate? It is the most accurate pcp that I own now. I know it's been around a while and "old news" to many. But it's a different ball game for me.
I ended up taking the pic rail off and just mounted a scope and rings that I had on hand to the dove tail. I don't have any rings not already in use for the pic rail at the moment. I plan on replacing the pic rail and mounting a different scope on it later....but this will do fine for now. It got me shooting.
The trigger, as set from the factory, is a bit heavy for my preference. I will eventually make adjustments to that and lighten it up a bit. But it is still very crisp and predictable.
No chrony work or pellet testing yet either. I just grabbed a tin of JSB 18 grains and began shooting. I have a lot of them on hand because the two other rifles I shoot regularly really like them. The Brocock does too.
I am definitely a Brocock Bro now
!
I shot many groups yesterday and the consistent accuracy is a blast! I am no competition bench rest shooter. But the groups I was getting is very exciting to me. I am 100% sure they can be tighter once I adjust the trigger a bit.
