Okay, this is just side by side comparison of my Brocock Compatto Sniper XR vs my new FX Impact Compact and below are will show how I am comparing. Also, some people are going to say how can you compare a $1200 / 1100 euro vs a $2200 / 2000 euro gun? Well, I own both brands you could say are first tier brands and sell rifles in similar price ranges. Also, I bought both guns with my own money so here is what I think. Additionally, this is also more of a physical feel, visual build quality and handling comparison. No shooting accuracy, and similar just physical / visual. Lastly, both guns were purchased new in the box by me, are 2020 models and maybe price does affect some of below. And yes, I am using a WWII artillery round as a door stop.

Weight of the rifles as set up: both exactly 8 lbs 9 oz / 3.9 kg

Overall Length: Brocock Compatto: 34 inches / 864 mm and FX Impact Compact: 25 inches / 635 mm

Trigger: hands down FX Impact Compact

Cocking Lever: FX Impact Compact

Safety: Sort of tie 

Metal work: a bit better on the FX Impact, and yes maybe comparing the Impact to a Brocock Commander would be fair, but both are very good.

Ergonomics: Slight edge for FX Impact because of the position of the cocking lever, but the Brocock Compatto very good also.

Balance: Can’t really compare because of the differences in design of the overall gun.

Also, I installed the Saber Tactical bottle mount to the FX Impact Compact and I notice it adds about an 1” to the height of the bipod. Please let me know what you think.

Get you one of the cheap atlas clones. I had that exact bipod you've got and chunked it for the Atlas clone I picked up off a member here. Works great for the reasons stated by Leon. Plus, no downward stress on the bottle. They're about $35-$40 USD here in the states.

Lovely setup, I've owned a Commander and Concept Lite so with respect to metal work I'd say they're the same.

Thanks for sharing with us!

On additional comment I want to make with my comparison between the Impact and the Compatto is the magazine, and hopefully something I hope Brocock gets from Daystate, magazines you can UNLOAD. One thing I don’t like about my Brocock is you can’t take the ammo out of the magazine without “using it” in the gun. At least I don’t know how you can simply remove it and this is one feature I love about the magazine design that comes with the Impact. Hopefully Brocock will get the new Daystate magazine next year that is on like the Daystate Revere.
