I had a "CRACKING NIGHT OUT" with the AIR RIFLE

- 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.

Thank you 👊
Hi, how are you mounting the pq50 on the gun as I see your LRF box is close to the reticle?
I just got lucky mate.
Standard mount that comes with it. Not shimmed at all. 👌
Amazing
That's an impressive scope that tells and shows you projectile drop.
Works really well once you've got it dialed in mate. 👌
Excellent work my friend.
Thanks John 👊
"Nah, not Jesus. Dead rabbit." I snorted at that one. Should put it on a t-shirt. Keep up the great work with these vids and the pest control :) Cheers!
Lol. Thankyou 👊
agreed, I pissed my self there as well.
😅🤷♂️
Yess! I had to replay that 4 times to be sure. Come on, that was sooo smooth.
🤣 cheers mate
Katze und Fuchs hatten zuvor Hundert mal mehr Kaninchen und Ratten erledigt 😉
Bloody good night out, good long shots as well 👍
Thanks mate 👊
Great stuff Rod, jeez it gives me bloody withdrawals but, havent been out on the bunnies in ages, thanks for taking us along as always
Thanks champion 👊
Hol’up what scope is that ????
All the details are in the video description mate 👍
Hi, I was wondering what gun rest you use for mounting your gun onto the tripod?
All via arca swiss mount.
I run a Sirui K30x ball head and a Saber Tactical arca swiss rail on the FX air rifle.
Congratulations 😊
Thank you!! 😊
Sir which pallet u using
18.13gr Cometa pellets mate
That was some mighty fine shootin I'd say lol ✌️ Napa California
Thanks mate 👊
Good Work, great vid.
Thanks Richard 👊
Nice work Rod smashed em mate
Cheers mate
Love your channel . And that accent is amazing I love it
Thanks mate 👊
magnificent marksmanship! love these vids, greets from the Netherlands (antipodean;-))
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Thanks 👌
Hi Rod, could you tell me what scope did you have on the air rifle.
Running the HikMicro Panther PQ50L V2.0 mate
@@RJMHuntingAustralia Thank you Rod.
Nice!! Great job
Thanks mate 👊
Does the scope determine the location of the shot by calculating the distance where the red light is located, or do you place the red light through photography?
The red X is the aimpoint determined by the ballistic calculator in the scope
What is the name of the tool that identifies the target and puts an X on it?
The laser rangefinder in the scope measures the distance and the internal software in the thermal scope does the rest
@@RJMHuntingAustralia Thank you🌹🌹🌹
I've never saw a rat climb a tree
See it all the time over here mate
Your channel is my newest addiction
Thank you mate 👊
A very varied selection excellent video many thanks
You're elcome mate 👍
Nice scope; lists drop in cm and moves the reticle to match
Certainly makes things easier mate 👌
Nice shooting - does the scope have a range finder and is it adjusting the holdover after working out the distance?
Yes it does mate. You need to enter all the data and test it of course. Tweak it a little on the range till its spot on and it's good to go
@@RJMHuntingAustralia That's flipping amazing. No need to try and count the mil dots anymore. 🙂
Certainly makes life easier 😉
hey man great shots, how did you get into your profession. ive always loved shooting and especially the art of hunting as a whole. would love to know more !
It's all about learning your craft and being professional mate. Not an easy industry to break into and get consistent contract work
👏
Great work bud.
Thankyou
Definitely did that farm some good! 👍
Quite a productive night mate 👌
what kind of air rifle and scope did you use?
All the information on the gear I'm running is detailed in the video description mate 👍
Meow!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry all, hate the flea bitten things.
Agree 100%. Any cat, not on its own property, I would consider as feral.
Wrong place, right time. 👌😉
Great job
Cheers mate
Hi Rod smashing video. Just got myself an impact m3 in .22 sniper . What ft/ibs are you set on? Im really looking forward to using mine. Ive noticed you and Nathan are both using FXs. How do you rate them? Bob UK
Love it mate.
Couldn't be without it.
Running at 32 ft lbs
@@RJMHuntingAustralia do you find the higher the ft/ibs the less accurate the fx becomes, watching the vid of you banging the fox was awesome.
Sometimes mate
The sweet spot for these pellets is about 890fps. I can crank it up faster but it won't be as accurate
@@RJMHuntingAustralia have you ever used slugs or do you have a preference for the pellets.
....just sick....brilliant video mate,love that scope.....must have missed the part...what fIb,is the air rifle running at....just a cool video👍🏻
Thanks mate.
Running at 32 ft lbs 👊
Nice work mate👌
Thank you buddy 👊
What is the model of the thermal scope? Thanks.
All detailed in the video description mate 👍
Great shooting as usual Rod, what thermal are you using please ?? and would it be suitable for .223 ?
Running the HikMicro Panther PQ50L V2.0.
I also use it on my .223
Here's a recent video of it in use
ruclips.net/video/4S5uihi11MQ/видео.htmlsi=PkVMi89vKPXomRab
@@RJMHuntingAustralia thank you.
Nice work mate, can't beat air for pest control.
Super effective on small game for sure 👌
@@RJMHuntingAustralia Nice and quiet too, doesn't upset the Equal Rights for Rats people.
keep up the good work
Will do mate 👍
Looks like you had a great night. I use a .17 however I’m really impressed with that air rifle 👍
Yeah, it's an amazing little rifle. 👊
🎯
Right!
Great marksmanship as usual mate
Keep up the great work
Quick question, What state do you usually work in ?
Mostly in NSW Darren.
Thanks Rod for letting me know
I’m from the Central Coast some hunting spots in the outback mainly pigs and deer up this way
Can’t wait till the next video mate
Cheers mate. 👊
Good work mate. Can I ask if you're on diabolo pellets or slugs?
Thanks.
18.13gr Cometa pellets mate
Now thats how its done,clinical and effective 👏
Do you have a built in rangefinder and what is your zero distance with pellets?
Yes mate. Built in LRF.
I'm zeroed at 40m
A cracking good night indeed. Great job. Cheers from Texas.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks mate
.......... and Jesus has left the chat ! ..... Great shooting as always, love the air rifle videos
😅😅 thanks Rob
They say there's a problem with rabbits in Australia.
Not if 5% of the population was this guy!😂
Thanks mate 😉
@@RJMHuntingAustralia NO! NO! Thank you friend! Great Stuff!
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
@@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...!!
No worries mate 👍
Great vid . Are you shooting Pellets or Slugs ? . What do you do with the Bunny’s ?. Cheers Dean
Shooting 18.13gr Cometa pellets mate.
The rabbits were collected and handed over to the manager for disposal.
👍🏼👌
Hey mate, just wanted to say you’re a “Fućking Legend! I love animals but have seen first hand what they do to the environment and to livestock. Your the “most humane and respectful professional” that I’ve ever seen. What you do is so much better than poisons or trapping. 10/10 🙂 👍👍👍👍👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 please keep the “excellent” footage/vids rolling in. 🙂👌🏽
Really appreciate that mate. Thank you 👊
Fried 🐇 n gravy... G'day mate ✌🏻
🐇🎯👍🏼
Well I reckon
Haha. G'day champ
Great content :)
Thankyou 👊
He’s no body’s moggy, he’s flat red squashed, and soggy !
He’s no body’s moggy, now !
Eric boggle 👍
😅🤦♂️
Your air rifle and scope...how much was that combination worth ?
Retails for about 10k aussie dollars mate
What scope is he using?
All the information is available in the video description mate 👍
Hi what do you do with the dead rabbits?
Most of these rabbits had been exposed to myxomatosis so they were collected and disposed of.
badas 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👊
RJM good shot/unlucky rabbit foot keyrings up for sale yet! Rabbits will be out of control with all the rain on the east coast
Yeah. I've already had a couple of phone calls this week.
Good video as always, clean shooting although that 85m looky a bit sketchy!
Cheers mate
Hello ! I come in Australia in some months, I want to know a bit about hunting (what's the easiest option for a WHV as I would be). Thanks !
Not really an option without a firearms licence here mate
@@RJMHuntingAustralia ok, so and what about bow hunting and crossbow hunting ?
Bow hunting yes, crossbows are illegal though
Another excellent action packed video Rod, well done.
Geoff, UK.
Thankyou Geoff 👊
Dud you get bit on the nose by a snake mate? 😂😂 love you're work 🍻
My skin and the sun don't get on too well mate. 😪
Good job
Thanks
Nice work.
What .22 air rifle is that?
He uses an FX Impact. Usually all gear is listed in the description, click more.
As Craig said. All the info is in the video description mate
Hello. Người bạn thiện xạ của tôi. Không một con thú hoang dã nào chạy khỏi bạn 🇦🇺👍.
Thanks mate
Nice shooting Rod 😎
Enjoy your videos 👍🏼
Great air rifles those Fx Impact M3
Can I ask what model suppressor are you running?
Is it any good?
And what Australian supplier did you purchase from?
I’m running the same Fx Impact .22 sniper
18.13gr JSB pellets
Pard Ds35-50 lrf
Running it at between 850 - 960fps
Deadly accurate 🎯
Love mine
Insane what they can do.
Totally agree mate. Love em.
I'm running a Vipertek carbon fibre suppressor. Originally got mine through Hermann's Sporting Guns.
Not sure if you can buy direct or have to go through a dealer/shop.
Nice boss
Cheers mate
💚💚💚💗💚
Rất tuyệt vời. Bá phát bá trúng. Chúc bạn ngày mới vui vẻ và hạnh phúc nhé..Hi 🇦🇺👋.
Thankyou
Thanks, that looked like a fun, productive night.
Cheers mate 👍
A veritable feral smorgasbord. Top stuff.
Cheers mate 👍
Funny, "on so many levels!"
Thanks Roc, Lovely work, really enjoyed watching the feral animals cop it, Cheers
Thanks buddy 👊
Can you explain the red x on the scope in one of your videos
Sure mate
The red X is the aim point suggested by the inbuilt ballistic calculator.
Once you enter in all the relevant bullet data, you range the target and the ballistic function works out your holdover
🐈⬛🎯😎
What foot pounds is your rifle putting out
Just over 32 ft lbs mate
Nice video sir
I mean dad lol
Thanks
Another good clean up👍
Wish my 🦊 would just rock up into view like that one 🤣
🇬🇧
Doesn't happen too often mate 👌
@@RJMHuntingAustralia no it doesn't, had 2 in a big rush bed last night and couldn't get a clean shot at either of them🙄🦊🤬
That sux. Did you try to call them in ?
@@RJMHuntingAustralia No, didn't call them, they're a bit spooky those two. I went back last night and got the dog fox, didn't see her though but I know where she hangs out so I'll get her👍
No… not Jesus….dead rabbit😂
Lol. 😉🤣
