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.

    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!

    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 .
