Friends,
Here is some chronograph work with the Brocock Bantam HiLite.
_
Pellet (unsorted, unwashed, not lubricated): Air Arms Diabolo Field .22 Cal, 5.51mm, 16 Grains, Domed
Power Setting: Low
Usable Shots (1-50) average FPS: 774
Usable Shots (1-50) standard deviation: 4
Fill: 240 BAR
_
Line chart:
Summary Data:
Target is at 8.5 yards. Don't judge the gun/platform by my nonchalant rapid fire chronograph strings and short range (it's all I have). Each hole that your see is 10 shots.
Observations
This is a really fantastic and quiet air rifle (of note, using Donny FL Sumo). It will be my "trash birds at the feeder" airgun once we get to our next house. The trigger is a bit heavy for an airgun but I don't have a precise measurement of its weight.
_
Many folks have had problems with this platform. In fact, I myself had to send the gun in for warranty work. However, if you get a good one it's a great set up. Simply due to the trigger, I think after a couple of years I'll sell it and get a Taipan Mutant Short in .22 but that's a discussion for another day.
_
I'll do some testing / shot string analysis on the high setting soon but primarily this gun is for lower power, quiet, pest bird elimination such that the good birds aren't disrupted by the noise.
_
Hopefully this information is helpful to those considering this specific platform.
