Just wanted to give a little review of my .22 Brocock Contour XL S6 incase there were others that are interested in this gun. First off…. I love it! This is my 4th PCP and 8th or 9th airgun. My previous PCP’s included a depinged .177 Marauder, which was both very quiet and very accurate, a .22 FX Royale that was also very accurate, beautifully made, but too loud without an additional aftermarket mod - that turned a compact 40” gun into a 45” gun! And I currently own a skeleton stock .22 Cricket, a .177 HW 30s, and the Brocock.
The S6 is a funny little gun in some ways, and goes against the current trend for more power, being that it is only a 21 fp gun. Mine shoots JSB 15.89 pellets at an average of 765 fps and I only get around 18 good shots before I need to refill (When shooting from a bench I shoot tethered to my scuba tank, or carbon tank, to avoid constant refills). The S6 also lacks many of the “standard” bells and whistles - It doesn’t have a pressure gage, or an adjustable trigger, or a safety - although you can lock the bolt back. It also comes with a Huggett moderator that is a bit of a joke. It works to a degree, and would be fine for hunting out in the woods, but isn’t super backyard friendly - it is just a 4” hollow tube with some sound absorbing material in it. So what makes the Brocock so great? It’s just SO fun to shoot! Very accurate from 30 - 45 yards, super light (4.8 pounds), has a great action, nice trigger, and it’s beautifully made! It would be a great small game hunter, being that it is so light and so accurate.
The only change I have made to my S6 is replacing the Huggett mod with one made by Neil Clague. Neil’s moderator added 4 inches to the overall length, taking the gun from 34.5” to about 38.5” (I haven’t actually measured the overall length with the new mod and don’t have the gun handy today). With the addition of Neil’s mod my S6 is the quietest airgun I have ever shot. Super backyard friendly! And FYI, the Huggett was a bear to get off due to being glued on with what I assume was epoxy. I tried using a hairdryer to heat the mod and loosen the glue but that didn’t work. I ended up unscrewing the tube from the back plate of the Huggett, and then used a torch to heat the back plate of the Huggett to get it to unscrew from the barrel. I’ve heard of others that didn’t have an issue getting the Huggett off, but mine was on there!
Anyway, here are some photos. I included photos of groups shot at 100 and 131 feet. I know the gun is capable of shooting tighter groups… I blame the shooter.
