The Airgun Show - farmyard ratting with the Hikmicro Alpex, PLUS new telescopic sight from PAO…
Спорт
As the days get shorter, more and more airgun shooters will be ramping up their night vision hunting. With that in mind, Mat Manning is putting the new Hikmicro Alpex A50T Digital Day and Night Vision Riflescope from Scott Country through its paces on farmyard rats. Apart from boasting remarkable colour viewing by day and in twilight, this scope produces a very sharp infrared image at night. The versatile gunsight doesn’t disappoint, and Mat puts it to good use, capturing the action on scope-cam as he brings to rodents to book.
Also in this week’s episode, Mat Manning takes a close look at the flagship 6-24x56 model from PAO’s new Smart Spherical Structure, or Triple S, telescopic sights. Available from The Shooting Party, these optics strike a great balance between features, performance and affordability.

Agreed it’s the presenter that makes any show
Congratulations Matt on many years of excellent work!! You have been instrumental in my return to the sport (as a 42 year old) after a 20 year absence. A massive THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! I wish you all the best in the future. kind regards, Rich B.
Matt in these troubled times how can you leave us !!!! But seriously Matt we all owe you massive gratitude for such a fantastic presentation. Not only are you a fantastic ambassador for the sport but you are a truly a magnificent source of information enabling us to become more caring about our sport , our quarry and the country side . I truly look forward to hearing about your future endeavours and wish you every success
It's been 8 years!! It feel like you had a longer present throughout my airgunning years of adventure.
I've truly enjoyed all your episodes Matt. Really sad to see you go. Wish you all the best in the future.And hopefully see on you some future hunts.Well done sir 👏 thank you.
Thank you for all the videos you're made, you will be missed, best of luck with whatever you are going to be doing, stay safe. All the best to you and your family 👍👍👍, Tim.
Thanks for everything you have done over the years and your team , all the best Frederick R
Thank you for your hard work and excellent videos , sorry to hear that you are leaving ,best of luck in whatever you are doing,👍👍👍
We will miss you Mat! Best wishes and let us know when you start your next chapter.
It's been a pleasure watching you and your enthusiasm will be missed for the sport on here, all the best with your next chapter what ever it is they will benefit from having you there
Thanks very much Matt. You got me back into shooting after a 30 year break, rejoined BASC on your recommendation and even, using your tips managed to get a small permission. Can’t thank you enough and all the best with your next venture.
Thanks for the many professional, quality videos, Matt. I have a feeling you won't be far away, so will be looking forward to seeing your next venture.
Great show, Matt. 👍 Really sorry to see that you’re leaving but I wish you all the best for the future. You’re a great ambassador for our sport and the show won’t be the same without you. You can change your mind at any point 😉 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Matt. Your videos have given me great knowledge over the past 5 years of my introduction to the sport. Good luck with future ventures 😉
You can’t leave your the reason I watch this show!!!! Give him a raise so he stays please!!!!!!!
Thank you Mat for all the shows,good luck in your new ventures👍
No way Mat. You have been a joy to watch. Lost interest in Air rifles a while ago but still tune in when you are on. Wish you all the best in the future and hopefully have your own channel?
I do like a wood stock on a rifle, almost ay rifle, but this one really caught my attention. Perhaps it's because all I've seen of FX air rifles has been a skeletonized metal stock, looking more like some sort of 'military' rifle than a sporting rifle. this one shown and featured by Mat here, appeals to me. Those Hikmicro sights really do turn night into day, with a much sharper image than I've seen before. Well, sad to see you leave here Mat, I think I started my subscription to 'theshootingshow, with you as the MC. I do wish you all good success in whatever you will be doing elsewhere. Thank you for all those past enjoyable videos. Richard Saunders and Andy Watkins have always made interesting videos, I'm a subscriber to their channels too so I'm glad that Richard will be here in a fortnight. All the best Mat!
fantastic show as always Matt, I am sorry to hear you are leaving the show it won't be the same without you, I wish you all the best for the future and hope to see you in another airgun show soon or whatever adventure you have planned next, good luck for the future mate.
Good luck and best wishes Mat. Thanks for all the time and effort you've put in over the years making these videos. Best in the business...
Thank you Matt and hopefully have your own channel
Thanks a lot for sharing lots of useful information, love for outdoors and providing me with a travel to England every two weeks. Lots of nostalgia remembering my days of study, working and flyfishing in England from 2007 to 2011. Whishing the best for your new projects. Learnt also a lot of scripting, narration and on how to conducting tv hosting for my KZread Channel. Cheers from Bogota, Colombia.
Thanks for everything Matt, good luck in your next venture. All i can say is Richard has got some big wellies to fill, and i think he will.
Good luck to you in your next venture Matt have been watching since day one you’re going to be a hard act to follow 👍👍👍👍👍👍
WOW!!! It's been an absolute pleasure watching and learning from you even at my age (67) and still shooting plus doing my KZread Channel that you inspired me to take on! Your enthusiasm for our Airgun community will be greatly missed. All the very best to you with the next chapter in your life. (Hopefully something to do still with the Airgun community) Cheers, Mark.

...wow... what a slap on the back of the neck.... Matt I've only been watching for the last 3 years but went back in time and watched lots of the episodes prior... but leaving.... Yes we love Rich but ... but... he's not Matt. Even my kids walk in to the house after coming home from school and great me with " Welcome to the airgun show..." it just won't be the same with out you. I hope you will be back from time to time and let us know how you're doing. Take care my friend. I'll miss you.

Mate here's my likewise story . Ive watched from the very start and my daughter Holly ( who has absolutly no interest in shooting in any way shape or form ) was only 11 or 12 when the show started and after about a year or so she used to actually txt and remind me incase i had forgotten when the new episode was due on .

Thanks for all the entertainment, education and information over the years and good luck for the future!
Wish you all the best. It’s been a treat watching you take on the rabbits & squirrels…..
Very nice looking night vision scope and once again, a great episode, thanks to all those involved in its production.
Nobody shoots grey squirrels in the head like you Matt. Miss you man! I hope Richard Saunders continues to hunt and review with a wide variety of airguns, both 'super guns' and also those from the more affordable end of the market, to reflect all our cost of living concerns. Kudos.
I live in Whitehall, Michigan and Haven’t missed a show in years, will miss you Matt.
Thanks for everything Matt, you will be sadly missed. All the best for the future ❤. 🏴
All the best for the future hope to see you on another air gun show 👍🏻👍🏻
Good review matt, the tube night vision scopes are getting more popular I think the look of a traditional scope is more popular than a more compact one. I have the infiray TD50L on my WEIHRAUCH hw100bpk great combination, All the best Matt enjoyed all your shows, hopefully your at the Doncaster show over the weekend 👍
Matt, your good self and Rich are legends, thanks very much for all the hard work you put into making these videos, when I cant get out to shoot myself it's great to watch your channel with a Scotch & Coke.
Thank you Matt for all the excellent episodes, i've thoroughly enjoyed all of them, hope your next adventures are still airgun related. Will still keenly subscribe to the channel, as i'm very sure Richard will continue great contribution, as he already has. Thanks again.
Sorry to hear you are leaving Matt, you our the Air Gun show, thanks for all you have done and all the best for the future.
Thanks Matt, sad to see you go , all the best for the future.👍
That was right out the blue, Wish you all the best in whatever comes next, best show great reviews

Been watching you from the start will have take up tiddlywinks 🤣 . Have always enjoyed your video's, all the best in your future and thanks again for years of enjoyment watching your videos 👍👏
Sorry to learn that you are leaving the show. All the best for the future. I have enjoyed your reviews and shoots over the years.
Good luck on your future endeavors Matt!
You will be missed Mat
Mat.It’s been an absolute joy to watch you on the Airgun Show.Your knowledge and experience of the sport is second to none.I think everyone watching has learnt a hell of a lot from you.I certainly have. Atvb for the future and take care. 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀
I remember back in the 80's there was scopes going down to 7 yrds!
Fairweather matt I have enjoyed your show good luck to you on whatever your going to do.
Let's go! Feels like I haven't seen this in a fortnight. The rats have been more active in my chicken run lately here in the pacific northwestern US. Seems like a good time for a funeral. Thanks for the video!
My gas ram springer tears scopes up. Will this POA scope be different and at what price here in Canada? Nice shooting, thanks for the video!
Thought I saw a bunch of rat's having a party, all the very best with your future endeavours
brilliant shooting matt
All the best, Mat!
All the best Mat, ❤️ 🇲🇾
sorry to hear your leaving the show matt, it wont be the same without you hosting it..
Blimey , I remember reading an article by mat in airgun world when he had just got his daystate mk 3 ,his first electronic trigger and valves, no screen or gauge , you just counted your shots back then , air rifles ( especially ) pcps have evolved into many different rifle types ,it bewildering sometimes when you first see a new to market super gun with sometimes 3 gauges , quick fill, adjustability that's mind boggling , if you are relatively new to PCP rifles don't assume more money equals a much better rifle , don't get me wrong I have owned quite a few silly priced 2 grand and over rifles , and they were amazing ( except my mk1 impact utter crap) however you can buy a second hand hw100 and it will perform just as well as a £2500 super rifle , if you can find a reputable gunshop who services their used stuff and gives a six month warranty I would seriously think about it ,you will thank yourself in the future , I know livens in Burton on Trent are reliable with their used gear , and staffs custom rifles are fantastic when it comes to looking after you and your rifle even if it's used ( Dave and Shirley are lovely ) Dave is a moody bugger sometimes but if you had his face I'm sure you would understand .
Sad that you are passing The Airgun Show on to Richard, but I reckon he will continue to do an excellent job. Hope to catch up with you at forthcoming shows. Pete in Essex.
Hello Matt, all the best in your next adventure.
omg...... i CAN'T beleive your leaving and do hope you come back for some guest spots..... good luck Matt with whatever you are moving on to sir......

Matt noooo, please don't go, now I'm sad, and ive just bag my first perm thanks to you, all the best buddy, you've inspired me. As always loved all of your episode's you will be missed.

Sad to see you go.

sad to see you go matt, will you be on another channel for us to watch
Thanks Matt for all your episodes of which I think I've seen them ALL. Will you be back doing something similar or will you be off of you tube for good. I think I probably say this for all of your fans but it will be like losing a friend not seeing you every fortnight😪😪. But I wish you the best of British luck for whatever you are planning for the future. 👍👍
hi m8 another good vid m8 stay safe m8
So sorry to hear you'll no longer present the show matt, for me you are the show and that's no disrespect to others who have been on it. I wish you all the very best in what ever it is you do in the future.
Matt leaving. Nooooooooo. Thanks for such great content over the years.

Not the best of news Matt, it won't be the same with you not being here every fortnight All the best for the future 😎👍
Funny story. I've been watching your show for about 2 years now. I've been considering getting hold of a TX200 and this video of yours popped up in my recommended videos kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqaopsNwk5mbgsY.html The video is 7 years old, and I literally spat my tea out when I saw that "shoe box" on top of your rifle that was an early night scope!!! How things have changed in such a short time. Anyway, like everyone else here, sorry to see you leaving. All the breast! 😜
Ah better than the usual rubbish on tv tonight cheers all.
Where’s Mat going, won’t be the same without him
for me, you were what made this show. I'm genuinely sad to see you go. Hopefully you can return for the odd "special guest host" and cameo. good luck Mat!
Whys mat going ? Anyone ??. The show needs his buzz and presence.
I’m gone
Matt is going to be sorely missed. Hope its his decision and not a seat warming uni graduate who wouldn't know a rat from a squirrel making a corporate executive act they might regret😪

Both are very good with super-crisp image day and night. The Hik has the edge though in terms of twilight mode clarity. And its £hundreds cheaper.
What! your leaving to do something else? The only thing better than airguns is the adult entertainment industry.... you lucky sod....
