I had a "CRACKING NIGHT OUT" with the AIR RIFLE
Ойын-сауық
G'day guys, this video is from a cracking night out I had recently with the air rifle.
Shot placement is everything when out chasing these pests with a .22 calibre pcp. A pellet right in the brain box will drop feral cats and foxes on the spot.
Achieving a quick, humane and ethical kill is always the desired outcome.
This contract took place on a fairly small heritage listed property in a peri-urban area so I had no choice but to run the air rifle.
Rabbits were the main objective as numbers had bred back up since my last visit.
Foxes are always on the hit list however I was soon advised that any feral cat or rat seen, were to be targeted as well.
My setup for the night was my 600mm barrel, FX Impact M3 air rifle chambered in .22 calibre.
Saber Tactical arca swiss rail, and vipertek suppressor.
Shooting 18.13gr Cometa pellets @ 900fps.
HikMicro Panther PQ50L V2.0 thermal scope.
With the nights shooting conducted on foot, I used my Bexin ST424C carbon fibre tripod with Sirui K30X ball head.
3 hours on site resulted in 22 Rabbits, 10 rats, 1 fox and a feral cat being removed. Certainly quite a variety of pests and a cracking result for the client.
If you're interested in any of the gear I use.
Get in touch with Ben down at Hunt The Night in Victoria.

They have a huge product range, best customer service in the business and very competitive pricing.
Feel free to have a look at some of my other videos while you're here.
Thanks again for watching and don't forget to say G'Day....

Another great video mate. Couple questions if I may... what power is the air rifle putting out..? And are you shooting off your tripod, if so what would you say was the most important consideration for buying one for shooting..? I bought one to try to see if I liked the platform but yours (if you're using it) seems rock solid. Thanks for posting all these, it's really interesting to see another country's sport.

Hey Gary, the rifle is running at 32 ft lbs and yes. All the shooting was done off a tripod. I went for a carbon fibre tripod with 40mm legs for stiffness and stability. Little bit heavier but doesn't bother me. Then its just a matter of choosing a quality ball head. I used to run a saddle but much prefer arca swiss mount directly to the rifle
@garytree7729
2 ай бұрын
@@RJMHuntingAustralia Ah thanks for that. I also bought a carbon fibre tripod and I went for the saddle which is very well engineered (didn't want to mess up a walnut stock) I've only tried it once at a target to check POI off the system. Interestingly with a 22-250 I got a n inch group at 150 yards, but the group was low and to the left, not enough to make any difference on a fox but always good to check these things. Haven't worked out why or how that happened yet......probably something going on with recoil. I didn't want to spend stupid money until I got a feel for using one. Thanks very much for your reply, looking forward to the next video...!!
