What makes Brocock different?
Brocock's whole design brief is weight and balance. Where Daystate, its sister brand, builds toward maximum consistency and electronics in the Wolf series, Brocock's Bantam and Ghost lines stay lighter and shorter, aimed at a hunter who'll carry the rifle across rough ground for hours rather than shoot from a fixed position. The two brands share Huma-Air regulators and some CNC-machined parts, assembled at facilities in the same part of Staffordshire, but they're built for different days afield.
Current lineup
| Model | Type | Calibers | Typical price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bantam XR Sniper | Lightweight regulated bullpup | .177, .22, .25 | About $1,570-$1,880 | All-day carry hunting where weight matters most |
| Bantam XR Magnum | Lightweight regulated bullpup | .22 | About $1,885 | More power in the same compact platform |
| Ghost (HP / Plus / Carbine) | Regulated bullpup | .177, .22, .25, .30 | About $2,410 | Buyers who want Brocock's newest platform and a .30 option |
Brocock also still lists the semi-bullpup Compatto, assembled at the same Daystate facility, though I found it listed as out of stock at major US retailers at the time of writing rather than a live current price.
Best Brocock picks for hunting
- Bantam XR Sniper — the core recommendation: light, regulated, and available in three calibers for small game through medium pests.
- Ghost — the pick if you specifically want the .30 caliber option for more energy.

Pros and cons
Good fit
- Hunters who value low weight and short length over a full-size sporter
- Buyers who want Daystate-adjacent engineering in a more compact package
- Anyone hunting terrain where carrying a rifle all day is the real constraint
Look elsewhere
- Buyers who want the widest possible model selection — Brocock's US lineup is narrower than FX's or Daystate's
- First-time PCP buyers; see my first PCP buyer's guide for cheaper starting points
- Big-bore hunters past .30 caliber
How Brocock compares
Against its own sister brand Daystate, Brocock is the lighter, more portable option, while Daystate covers everything from budget mechanical sporters to flagship electronics. Against Air Arms, another British maker, Air Arms leans on a longer track record and a wider price range, from the $880 TX200 springer up through premium PCPs, where Brocock stays concentrated in the compact-bullpup niche. Against FX, Brocock offers less tunability but a more finished, ready-to-hunt package out of the box.
Verdict
Brocock earns its place for a hunter who specifically wants a light, compact bullpup and is willing to pay premium-adjacent prices for it. If model variety or maximum tunability matters more than carry weight, Daystate or FX cover more ground.

FAQ
Is Brocock a good airgun brand?
Yes. Brocock, now branded BRK, makes compact, lightweight PCP bullpups aimed squarely at hunters who carry a rifle all day, and it shares engineering and manufacturing with sister company Daystate. It's a mid-to-premium brand: current US-sold models run roughly $1,570-$2,410.
Where is Brocock made?
England. Brocock started in Birmingham's historic gun quarter in the 1980s and now builds its rifles at a purpose-built facility in Staffordshire, the same region where sister brand Daystate operates.
Who owns Brocock?
Brocock was acquired by Italy's Diana Group in 2013-2014, the same parent that has owned Daystate since 2009. The two brands share technology and some manufacturing, though Brocock (rebranded BRK for its rifles in 2022) targets a lighter, more compact niche than Daystate's lineup.
What's the difference between Brocock and Daystate?
Both come from the same parent group and the same part of England, but Brocock focuses on compact, lightweight bullpups like the Bantam and Ghost, built for carrying all day in the field. Daystate's lineup runs from mechanical sporters to its flagship electronic Red Wolf and Delta Wolf. See the full Daystate brand guide for that side of the family.
What is the best Brocock model for hunting?
The Bantam XR Sniper is the standout: a lightweight, regulated bullpup built specifically for carrying through a full day of hunting, available in .177, .22 and .25. The newer Ghost adds a fourth caliber option, .30, for hunters who want more energy from the same platform.
What is Brocock's warranty?
3 years, in line with sister brand Daystate's UK-standard coverage, according to Hard Air Magazine's warranty comparison of premium PCP brands.
