Have you heard of the term ‘modular gun platform’? It started with assault rifles, and has now spread to airguns, with the Brocock Concept Lite being the most solid platform available for building a true tactical, firearms-grade air rifle system.
It’s called the Concept because this rifle can be adapted to be anything you want it to be, and it’s Lite because it weighs less than 3kg in its base model configuration. Sporting a special telescopic rifle butt, a synthetic AK pistol grip and three Picatinny-style forend rails, the Concept Lite is the ideal choice for hunters looking for a small and compact, yet powerful carbine-style rifle.
Then there’s the ultra-minimalist approach this rifle’s been fitted with the latest SWAT prismatic scope from MTC – it’s tiny
At the heart of the new rifl e beats the very latest and greatest Huma-Air regulator for maximum shots per fi ll and consistent velocity. Brocock and its sister company Daystate have an exclusive agreement to be the only manufacturers to be supplied with factory-fi t regulators in partnership with the internationally renowned Dutch regulator specialist. The Huma regulator precisely meters air to improve shot-to-shot consistency as the rifl e cycles through its usable air charge. Not only is accuracy improved, but a greater number of shots are returned per fi ll as well.
This rifle is entirely modular, with the shooter being able to choose their preferred butt stock, pistol grip and mounting configuration
The match-grade barrel is slightly choked and delivers impressive accuracy with many brands and weights of pellets. The standard Concept Lite has a muzzle energy of just under 12 foot pounds, but it can be supplied in FAC format with up to 40 foot pounds (54 Joules) of muzzle energy.
The build quality of the Brocock Concept Lite is second to none, as evident in the main chassis that runs the entire length of the action. Milled from a single billet of aircraftgrade alloy, this impressive stock is the foundation for the front Tri-Rail Picatinny mounting package. The robust design offers a bottom rail for extended bipod and hand grip mounting, with two removable side rails for other tactical shooting aids. When these are removed, the width of the forend is incredibly slim, but despite this, the air cylinder remains well protected from rough use. The butt stock is an AR-15- compatible adjustable unit that will fi t any sized shooter. The pistol grip is an AK-47 unit that can also be changed to other proprietary styles by the owner.
Brocock rifles are the choice of professionals such as Cumbrian Red Squirrel Ranger Jerry Moss, who uses a .177 Concept Lite
Cocking and fi ring the Concept Lite is quick and easy, thanks to the large tactical bolt handle and new hammer system. A multi-step power adjuster adds fl exibility for backyard plinking or long-range pest control. The trigger is a crisp two-stage adjustable unit that gives precise control for optimum accuracy. The Concept Lite sports added features such as a pressure gauge to monitor air pressure, a shrouded barrel for reduced report and extended rails for scopemounting options. A 10-shot magazine, a single-shot tray and a threaded muzzle for additional sound moderation come as standard.
The Concept Lite costs £999 in sub-12 foot pound or FAC format, and is available now from your local Brocock dealer. Product details.
