Soldato
Might have agreed in principle a purchase of a, new to me, .22 air rifle. I've been eyeing a few rifles up recently and by chance a bloke at my range went to buy an air rifle compressor off someone but they wouldnt let it go unless they bought the air rifle as well (owner had died and seller just wanted rid of it all). So he bought the Hills compressor but also walked away with a Brocock Commander XR 480cc carbon bottle, in a case with a £300 scope on it. He brought it down the range last week and had a shoot with it but he prefers .177 and this is .22. He let me have a go with it and i've kind of fell in love with it and he knows it! Anyway, yesterday he had it at the range and asked if i wanted it. After a bit of thought we've agreed in principle on a price for the rifle and mod, no scope and i've gave myself a week to think about it before fully committing.
It looks to be in mint condition and I get the impression its spent most of its life in its hard case. I need to give it a good look over but im 95% sure im going to have it at the moment. Its mouse fart quiet, very well balanced and smooth as butter to operate. Pretty sure im going to sell my S410 now to fund a fair chunk of the rifle. It retails at ~£1200-£1300 and i've agreed on a little over half that so its a bit of a steal in my opinion.
This isnt the rifle im buying as i dont have it yet or any photos but this is the rifle in question so this pic is just for reference. The grip, buffer tube and stock are all AR compatible so it give me some options to change some of the furniture. I did ideally want the folding stock version but is the fixed stock version. It can be rectified though by adding an AR folding stock mount
