FX Impact M3 .22 Cal & 1st Hunt HIK Micro Alpex 4K LRF || Rabbit Cull || Bonus PCP Rifle Shot Foxes
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
I'm out again with my FX Impact M3 .22 caliber into the field for some BULK pest control shooting. This is a professional pest control cull for a local private landowner with a small game pest problem. Rabbit hunting at night is an Aussie pastime, add in a modern twist of PCP hunting with thermal and night vision equipment. You can envisage good results if the rabbit numbers are prevalent. There is plenty of air rifle hunting and shooting action in this KZread video for you all to watch. Also a really good look at the capabilities of the newly released HIK Micro Alpex 4K LRF digital day/night scope.
FX Impact M3 is shooting on song in .22 calibre running 25.5gr Zan slugs. Scope is the new HIK Micro Alpex 4K LRF with ballistic hold over capability. For those interested, my FX Impact M3 is running a Huma-Air high flow slug & pellet probe but no other power upgrades. It has a standard 700mm barrel with superior liner (not heavy). I'm firing the 25.5gr slugs at about 925 fps for sub MOA accuracy (Which is 50 ft/lbs for the UK guys that feel the requirement to know this). Few Sabre Tactical upgrades in the mix to the rifle body like the Arca Rail 2 and TRS rail. Air supply is by a ShootAir light weight composite tank to refill the rifle bottle as required.
For scanner duties, I'm running the amazing Pulsar Merger LRF XL50 thermal binoculars in a chest rig. I'm yet to use a device it's equal in image and functionality in all aspects. This IMO is the best thermal scanner you can by as of posting this video in March 2024.
A large portion of these rabbits were utilised for the pot or pet food. But with a large cull like this many just go into landfill as we are paid to shoot and tally numbers. There's no time on the clock so to speak for processing animals in this type of volume.
I am a vertebrate pest control - contract shooter in NSW. For those wondering about the equipment being used, both my mate and I hold the necessary permits and licences when working under paid contract in NSW. This isn't hunting, it's professional pest control. If seeking information regarding that, please check the FAR webpage for details in your state. All shooting is performed on privately owned farms, with exclusive permission granted in writing for paid services.
Please don't ask how much I earn or how to become a contract shooter. I'm not a business adviser, the requirements and information vary state by state. If seeking this information research your own states legislation. I get this question a LOT, and it's not a path I wish to go down on social media.

That rifle is a real weapon Nathan all I had back in the day were 22s mind you with low velocity ammo and a muffler they were pretty quiet.
Loving the new scope the footage is clear and great
Scope looks good. Picture quality certainly very nice.
As entertaining and informative as usual thanks fella

Easter Sunday entertainment at its best, bunny’s didn’t stand a chance
Such a tack driver, and so quiet! Thanks for including the ft/lbs equivalency 😉
for the bunnies, lights out for the foxes and no more flight time for the skyrats
That’s Fanbloodytastic 😎
Algorithmic engagement comment. I'm impressed with the unit. As always, another great video with great shooting as well. BTW, everyone hits a branch now and then.
I'm no expert but that scope looks pretty bloody good.🐇

The Alpex 4K certainly has the detail that the DS35 doesn't quite get to, and the light gathering qualities are outstanding! Another great video as always.

Air rifle technology has certainly improved since the 1960s. LOL And why not? Another great post mate. Wish I could afford one of those outfits. Take care, stay safe, and good hunting.
Excellent video . These modern air rifles are amazing thank keep up the good work

I just got my first day night scope , and I much prefer it over a thermal , it a 3d picture where the thermal looks 2d , so now I use the thermal for spotting and after I close the gap I use the day night one The video quality of that hicmirco is very good , I like it

Nathan, top video as always. Good to see you get into those Indian Myna birds as well, can't believe how many rabbits there are where you are shooting, I live out in the Central West and I don't seem to see too many Rabbits at all. anyhow keep up the good work.
Love your air rifle setup.
Very cool content as usual Nathan.
👍👍
Love it Nathan. That certainly settles it for me, I've been tossing up between nv scopes and that is clearly the winner, unbelievable clarity in low light. Great video as always mate and very useful, cheers.
Great vid I’ve been wanting something like this for my 22 and after watching I think it’s the one

#EdgeogtheOutback great episode. (I'm a Pom in Pom Land ). Really interesting to see the night vision bullet trajectories, specially seeing them pass through the zero point on that 133m rabbit. I'm looking at the Alpex but also the Hik Cheetah for my .25 Wildcat . You footage is spot on.
Great video, the air rifles have sure come a long way, this from a bloke who use a Diana as a young bloke.
Don't like that flash in centre of cross-hairs.... go the Pard ! 25gr did the job on the foxes .! Love ya posts..... keep em coming. Mike
Razor sharp image of the pellet hitting home... I have a 1958 bsa .177 air rifle ...Most certainly prefer your rig Nathan... Be a doozie to light that wood pile on fire 😊
Hope you enjoyed your visit to Texas 🎉

Great vid mate, the Alpex 4K is a great scope i`ve had one a couple of weeks and love it the ballistic calculator in the unit is spot on for me, i ran it next to my atn 4-20 4k and while the atn is a better image past 14x the Alpex kills it below this and the light sensing is about 4 times more efficient on the Aplex. The only gripe I have is the unit doesn't have a second symbol for the external battery so until I contacted the maker I didn`t know the unit auto switches to the external battery once the internal is flat.

Hi there Nathan, I love what you do hell fire you're doing a gr8 job, years ago I was pest controlling rabbits here in Scotland, in one day a m8 and me ran out of ammo we popped just short of 500 bunnies at a big estate in Perthshire just on the banks of the river Tay the was a great outing and i remember it well, but mixi has hit hard in UK these days so not so much bunnies now, I really wish I could come out and help you with the pest control, but that's never gona happen, I'm retired now but your vids make up for the me not getting on the ground nowadays days.

Hi there Nathan m8, I had a go at wild boar but in Scotland they're thin on the ground, got here when some idiots though it would be good to farm them, guess what, they escaped how they thought they wouldn't is beyond me, however theres no feral pigs as such, but I like your vids a lot m8.

I understand that semiautos may be hard to get a licence for out where you are, have ye thought of a straight pull there a few on the market now, ok some are very fekn expensive I know but there's one or two I had a wee look at like the Savage impulse, now I'm not saying they're any good a or anything, nor am I plugging them, I checked out some straight pulls at a game fair show a couple of years ago, I really liked them, I found myself thinking they would have bloody good for the heads of bunnies I was hitting back in the day, if ye get a chance check them out, the one I liked had a spring return I only had to pull it back and it sprung forward and locked ready to go, man it impressed me a fekn lot, Hellish expensive tho.
I use 760 fps .22 slugs, and using the balistics on the scope is so cool to use, love it.
Frightening what An FAC air rifle will do! great Video Nathan..think there was a Family of cub's close too! CJ UK

There are no cubs this time of year in Australia. Glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks for the video, I had a good look through one at out shooting show. That unit looks like it might work under moonlight which would help out with some ir spooky rabbits we have here.
Wish I had that when I was a kid
Great video as always and I hope you're as impressed with the alpex 4k as I am! Beem using one now for about 6 weeks on my 17 hornet and I can confirm its dammed good!
Looks good! I'd love to get my hands on an air rifle like that and I've if those scopes!
Hey Nath loving your content. Got a personal best 10 Indian mynas in the backyard trap last Sunday. Cheers mate

Awesome stuff Nathan. Love that scope! My fx loves the patriot slugs. I use 23gn for the small stuff and 34gn for the bigger pests :) they are super soft being 100% lead and dump the energy well on target. Keep up the good work!

I have run both the Patriots and Zans. Definitely my two choices for hunting.
Nice one mate, that certainly is a target rich environment! Have recently picked up the Alpex 4K and like it much better than the Pard, field of view, picture quality, mag range and ease of use are all better in my opinion, still fine tuning the ballistics though! Love your videos, keep em coming! ;)
