    Not sure why I have not seen your content before but will be a regular now. Great honest review in real world conditions. the 8.48 streamlined are the sweet spot for my HW97k. This is a very impressive gun from BRK and will be taking a lot of sales from the Delta Wolf and many others.

    Went in to get the carbine version but ended up I getting the plus as was only an inch in it. Well balanced and an absolute laser in .177 the huma reg is very consistent!
    It’s a thumbs up from me.
    Just feels solid and well put together!
    Maybe this is the gun Fx impact tried to be all them years ago…

      At last someone else who knows that the RTI priest was developed before the impact !
      I'm not an RTI fanboy or an FX fanboy , but it really annoys me when I hear people say RTI just copied an impact .
      There have been many tactical style buddy bottle PCP rifles available way before FX were even a company , most people don't realise how FX used to make and assemble rifles for logun and others back in the early to mid 2000s, FX used to copy everything daystate did when FX first started up , the royale 400, the t12 , both FX rifles copying the daystate air ranger ,and huntsman , that's how rifles evolve ,personally Ive owned most higher priced rifles from ,FX,daystate,theoben,Steyr etc etc ,I think FX are flimsy and to delicate( and over priced )

      Couldn't agree more , when the impact first came out you had to remove the barrel to get it in to the case FX provided with the rifle , removing the barrel each time it comes out and goes back in does not make for an accurate rifle , just because you can remove the barrel doesn't mean you should have to just to put it back in its case ( they changed the case pretty quickly upon hearing the feedback from the people who were stupid enough to waste 1600 on a brand new to market designed rifle ,it turned out to be a nightmare of a rifle to own , leaks were springing from new areas of the rifle on a weekly basis , it went back and forth to the distributer that many times that it eventually had all the anti tamper stuff removed permanently because the fella at the then distributer said to me ," it will be back soon i expect ".
      Once I'd got it back and it was working and FX gave me a replacement case I sold it for 1200 as I couldn't shoot the rifle with any confidence or joy in shooting it , the smooth twist in.177 and in sub 12 power levels has been so inconsistent in it quality , personally I think FX rifles are way to delicate and overly complicated .

    Nice overview of the rifle and to be fair the groups are decent for that distance on a windy day.
    It's not a rifle for me though. In sub 12ft lbs I don't think we are getting value at the price. A HW110 is half the cost and will be equally accurate. These top end guns are designed for much higher velocities and are tuned down for our market.
    If we were allowed a more reasonable power - say 25 ft lbs (still less lethal than a steak knife!) then you suddenly have a 75 yard gun, 100 yards on a calm day.
    It then becomes worth the cost. Just my opinion.

    I'm looking at getting into airguns here in the states. I shot an S510 sunday in an HFT match and am hooked. I didnt like the left loading breech of the S510 and having to work through the parallax wheel as it was cumbersome. I keep coming back to the ghost when looking at rifles. I do love the looks of the revere safari too. If the wolverine r was right load Id seriously look at them.

    Morning Chap, Brocock don't look after you, I had the concept xr, 90 pellets & it started goin all over the place accuracy wise, I'd had it three months, they said it was a known fault to do with the magazine supplied, so they would do the magazine - block conversion and that they would charge me for it, I told them it wasn't fit for purpose & wanted a refund, they replied to the shop late on a Friday after closing & informed the shop they had repaired it for free & had sent it back already, that is NOT good customer service, Brocock also charge their British customers nearly twice as much for their rifles than they do in America, how so ? I've seen plenty of xr rangers & concept regularly being returned for seals blowing within a few magazines, this is why I refuse to believe that the ixia, oops sorry ghost won't have longevity & will have post production issues to resolve, 3 out of 10 to Brocock & 10 out of 10 for the review, Best Regards, Jon 👍

    A fair assessment as usual. It’s hard to justify spending £1450 on a gun unless you think (hope) you will love it and keep it and grow old together. As a means of sending a pellet down-range there are plenty of guns costing much less that provide accuracy and enjoyment. They don’t have the bells and whistles of expensive guns but they do the job - S400 for instance.
    My recently purchased AirMaks Katran ticks all the boxes I need and saved me a few hundred pounds compared with the Ghost. Having said that, had I known this gun was being released I may have hung on and given it a go. Try a Katran if you can get your hands on one, I’d be interested to see what you think.

    Much prefer the idea of a mechanical rifle, electronics are great but eventually they will fail and even the best companies can't afford to manufacture boards for decades, it's just not realistic. With a mechanical rifle you just need an engineer and a lathe........ And if the rifle shifts in numbers then the unofficial support is always there through tuners and tinkerers.

      A rifle, tactical or not can be used to good effect in HFT, so long as it is accurate. However there is a rule that only single shot rifles may be used in order to eliminate the risk of a loaded rifle being carried between lanes, hence the question.

    I like the layout and styling of this gun and its ergonomics but I'm afrsid after that, the cynicism kicks in: In sub 12 I would not want to be paying for a power- adjustment feature, which I personally see as wholly pointless; are there really that many uk legal limit shooters out there matching tiny variances in fps to certain batches of a particular pellet?
    Further pellet testing needed for that particular gun - for a 2k rig the groups are underwhelming - I can do better with a set up at less than a third of that price, though I've no doubt it would tighten up with the right inputs. As you say, £1500 is a lot of dough, and at that money you'd want it to perform.
    As an aside, I've always thought there's room on UA-cam for a reviewer that really concentrates on taking human error out of the accuracy equation by doing all the group testing indoors and clamping the gun in a decent jig.

      The Ghost will sell like hot cakes if it’s more reliable than FX👍 I was going to buy a Fx lmpact but my gun dealer advised me not to. He sold a Fx Impact to a valued customer complete with a high end scope dive bottle and assorted kit. Customer came back a day later complaining of low power, so the dealer put it on the chronograph and it’s power was just 7ftlb. The customer spends a lot of money at his shop over the years buying bullet rifles and shotguns plus kit , so rather than send back the Fx impact to be repaired and the customer waiting , the dealer gets another Fx Impact of the rack to replace the faulty one. Customer says can you put that one on the chronograph to see how powerful it is , again they get a low power reading 😳. So the dealer try’s all the stock of Fx Impacts a total of 4 all new and all shooting less than 8ftlb 🙄. Lots of second hand FX Impacts mark 2s and 3s which always makes me wonder why someone is selling a gun that costs so much so quickly 🤔. If these Ghosts rifles are reliable I am sure they will take a big chunk off Fx sales.
      I would like to see a Uk sub 12ftlb Ghost with no power wheel as adjustment on sub 12ftlb is unnecessary.
