The Brocock Bantam air rifle is a versatile new development of the Brocock Compatto, featuring increased power and shot count.
Over the last 12 months the semi-bullpup style Brocock Compatto has built up a strong reputation with airgun enthusiasts around the World. A big benefit has been the handling of the rifle which is extremely familiar with that of a conventional small-bore rifle.
Now a higher power and high shot count ‘Bantam’ version of the Brocock Compatto is available in the UK – and soon to be the USA. Look for it to be carried by Airguns of Arizona and other Precision Airguns dealers in the U.S.
The HAM team certainly can’t wait to get our hands on this interesting new model!
The Brocock Bantam is extremely short at just 34 inches but retains a full-length 18 inch barrel. The Bantam has a choice of a 400cc, 500cc or 480cc HiLITE carbon fiber air bottle – depending on market requirements.
Brocock tells us that the Bantam is a full power air rifle with .22 or .25 caliber capable of achieving up to 30 foot pounds of energy in high power options.
