Less gimpy version of the Compatto?

"srserl"I like the Compatto, but that new rifle is just plain ugly. If they offered the compatto with a nice walnut stock, I would have bought it instead of the Huntsman Regal. I'll pass on this new one.
Agreed. Funnily enough I was just reading elsewhere they should make a walnut Compatto.

I think that new one would look a whole lot better with the carbon bottle, better shroud and a weaver rail.

The Compatto would be very cool with a walnut option and loose the pussy looking dovetail rail.
 
Exactly! ;)
But really, the problem with bottle guns (besides just being ugly) is that there is never a good place to hold them. On this new Brocock, it looks like you would want to grip it right at the transition of the forestock to the bottle...replace the bottle with an air tube and continue the stock forward, and I would probably buy one. Yet another reason I didn't buy a Compatto is that the bottom picatinny rail is right where I want to put my hand. Manufacturers need to return to basic function in their designs, then embellish where it does not impede function.
