The Airgun Show – the new Brocock Safari XR, PLUS beat lockdown with the Hills compressor…

The Safari XR is the latest offering from British gunmaker Brocock, and Mat Manning is taking it out on this week’s hunt. Apart from the awesome XR sidelever system and Huma regulated action, this air rifle boasts a brand new magazine and a rugged yet handsome stock. It sounds like an impressive package so Mat is eager to see how it performs on a proper pest control assignment in pursuit of destructive grey squirrels. Lockdown and other covid restrictions have made it very hard for airgun shooters to access air filling facilities. One way around the problem is to get your own compressor so you can make sure your PCPs never run out of air and are always ready for backyard practice sessions. With that in mind, we’re taking a look at the Hill EC3000 Electronic Air Compressor from John Rothery Wholesale. -- Get more airgun insight every month in our sister magazine Airgun Shooter, available in all good newsagents and from www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/field-sports --
