$28,000 Rat Shooting • RS75 • FX Impact • 100 kills
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2023
- Never thought I would be using a $28,000 setup to remove rats. Definitely overkill but wow, what an image. They are everywhere at this place.
$4,500 FX Impact Mk3 Air Rifle in .22 cal, topped with the $23,500 Infiray RS75 1280 core thermal scope which has been kindly sent to me for a few weeks to have a play with, thanks Ben.
I am using Hades 15.89gr pellets at 630 fps which is quite slow but helps negate pass throughs and minimise any possible damage to the infrastructure. Still very effective and ethical on the rats with good shot placement.
After several visits to this property over the past 18 months I was blown away by the sheer numbers of rats that had bred back up since I was last here. The owner has tried everything including various poisons and traps but the rats prefer the grain that the poultry eat. Shooting them is by far the most effective control method.
The difficult aspect to jobs like this is shooting through small gaps in the wire cages. It's much easier when they are up on top or in the trees.

Good shooting. I love the clarity and thermal detail on that scope. Thats only $280.00 per rat 😊
I know right. 😉
Was fun to use for a few weeks. 👌
You should team up with the guy who uses minks and dogs to eradicate rats. The poor chicken farmer has to be losing half his feed to the rats. That scope was awesome.
Omg! There’s lots of them!
Totally agree. It is bloody fun to shoot them though.
@@BobDevV those big 44 gallon ? plastic feed drums would work well with the drop bar and yummy peanut butter for ssure.
There was some fella, questioned your intelligence RJM. Let’s have a look. 1. You enjoy your work, In fact you love it. 2. You make a living doing what you love. 3. you provide a service to your fellow man. 4. You help control disease carrying vermin, efficiently, humanely.
Pretty smart fella in my book. I reckon you got it right!
Haha.
Thanks mate.
I reckon so too 😉
This is the BEST rat shooting video I’ve ever watched. The clarity and accuracy was superb. Hats off to you mate.
Thanks Gary. Really appreciate that mate.
Feel free to share it with your mates. I'm trying hard to grow my channel. 👌
@@RJMHuntingAustralia How are you able to upload it onto a youtube video?
Recorded through the scope and other devices.
Do all the editing and hit upload mate
The thermal picks up the splatter of blood which I'm not used to seeing. That .22 makes a real mess of those rats - love it!
Perfect little calibre for rats mate. 👌
Spatter .
very nice video. Just happened onto your channel for the first time today, and I am impressed. Keep up the great work, and Cheers from Texas.
Much appreciated David. 👊
That accuracy is unbelievable!
Thanks
This is so oddly calming and satisfying, don't stop!
Thanks
Another great shooting video RJM. Look forward to the next one.
Thankyou buddy 👊
"I know I shouldn't laugh, but damn that is funny". Rats are pests, yet they can also be great pets. . .
It's the dualism of Man. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Great shooting and its oddly relaxing / soothing. Nice work my guy 👌
Thanks for that mate. 👊
Great shooting as per usual & very entertaining, I wouldn't mind the outfit either, thanks again.
Thanks mate. Very cool bit of gear for sure 👌
i would work for free just to shoot rats for you, this looks soo much fun.
At the post feed town hall meeting, some of those rats probably mentioned, “Yo man, there was some strange s¥%t going on out there.”
Some of the most acrobatic rats I've ever seen in a pest control video! Fly away rats... Keep up the good work!
Circus rats in the making. 😉
I noticed the rabbits bounce a bit too, but they are naturally bouncy 😅
😅
"The legend dates back to the Middle Ages, the earliest references describing a piper, dressed in multicolored clothing, who was a rat catcher hired by the town to lure rats away with his magic pipe."
Yep this man is the real Pied Piper
Hahaha Don't know about that mate but it's bloody good fun though and very effective 👍
ROD is the n.1 such a good time watching his videos . From France 🇫🇷 always giving thumbs up 👍 to Rodney Morris! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I don't know how your not pissing yourself laughing mate, it's absolutely a pissa watching this, top stuff Rod and nice shooting cheers Yogi 👍🤘🇦🇺
I try to be on my best behaviour. Emphasis on "try". 😉😅
Watching from Scotland, impressed by the shooting, filming and banter.
Thankyou mate. All in good fun. 👌
Keep it up mate, your fukkin good. Aye ye, playin splatt the rat looked so much fun.
Last airrifle i bought was £400 with scopes and it was a theoban weihrauch 90k. Not a springer, had an "air piston" thing going on. Best airgun i ever used was a £50 b2 from china, springer with a break barrel.
Going back 26 years....
Wow. That's very cool mate 👍
Thanks, brother! Another fun filled video shooting pests, and just so much fun to watch!😅
You're very welcome ☺
So did I. I enjoyed watching those pesky pests fall one by one
Thanks Greg 👊
Always good to see a master craftsman at work.
Cheers mate 👍
i thought the same looking at his eyes....
That is an impressive piece of collective air rifle hardware for culling rats. Rat control is serious business in your part of the world. I have seen videos of how rabbits, mice and cats can overwhelm the environment in Australia.
Thanks
You're spot on mate, plenty of pests in Australia. Keeps me pretty busy 👊
Must be heartbreaking for the farmer to see this, just incredible, top work, thanks for the vid
Thanks Clare. She was very appreciative that's for sure.
Enjoyed your video mate. great shooting👍
Much appreciated mate 👊
Yet another great video Mate !!
Thanks buddy 👌
Gday m8. I heard you on the AHP podcast today for the first time and glad to see your subs have gone up since that was recorded! Cool vid, look forward to watching your others!
Ps. After watching this ima sneak down to the wood shed with the .22 rat shot and have a look 😜
Thanks mate. Much appreciated 👊
Haha. Go get em
“Your supposed to be catching the rats. Little shit” classic Aussie.
You can’t trust a cat but you can trust a $28k rifle.
Spot on mate. 👌
Hi from the UK. Since watching you and Hollywood using the fx impact mk 3 I,ve been looking at buying a second model to get me started.Being disabled it will be mainly target shooting but hopefully I will get a chance at some pigeons and rats in the furture.Any way love the videos especially the couple of the thermal rat ones.Absolutley great viewing. Cheers for keeping me entertained and keep them coming but 28K for an air rifle i,d have to rob a bank for one of those lol
Haha. I'm hearing you there mate. I'm just lucky I get sent these cool toys to play with. Glad you enjoy the videos Neil. 👊
scope of choice, pard 008 lrf, or mars thermal
@@aileronsintowind6835 thanks for the advice mate. Started off with a Gamo Phox second hand. I’ve changed the moderator and a new scope. I’m having to learn to shoot left handed which is proving to be easier than I imagined but I have to say I’m enjoying myself.
Bloody ripper cobber. You put a dint in that lot. Keepem comming mate.🤠
Thanks Daryl. 👊
i love the blood splatter show up on thermal then fade as it quickly cools.
And I thought I was a terrible person for having the odd giggle. 😅
Great video, with your usual pro-level (and very quiet) shooting! That thermal scope is incredible -although at the price of a not-so-small car.
P.S. Besides the obvious advantage in target spotting, how do you rate thermal in terms of eye fatigue?
It's definitely something you get used to.
I have several thousand hours up on it and hasn't caused me any issues mate. Brightness and contrast level adjustments as well as various colour palletes can lesson eye strain till you get used to it.
The arterial sprays are awesome through that scope!
I know right. 😅
I could smell those stinking things! Good work Young Rodney👍🏼
Lol. Thanks mate 👊
Astonishing accuracy. I think the rats might have had a de-brief to assess their life choices after that episode!!
Quite possibly 😅
Some of those would qualify for the Olympic dive team!😂 can’t say I didn’t get a giggle out of that.👍
Me too Rich. Acrobatic lil buggers 😅
Not since 1985 when I found one of my parents unmentionable 4 VHS tapes have I been so excited to watch something. There is a rat plague in Sydney these days. Nice to see victories like this even if they are a long way from here. Well done mate!
Thanks mate.
This was actually on the outskirts of Sydney. 👊
You would think the abundance of snakes would keep the numbers in check.Instead it has probably led to an increase in snakes!.
Snakes only need 1 rat a week to survive. I doubt they will put much if a dent in the numbers at this place
Keep the vids coming!
I will mate. Just a matter of finding the time 🤔
this looks insanely fun holy smokes
Very much so. 👌
great shooting impressive gun and a good cleanup so stress relieving
Thanks buddy. 👊
This was awesome video.. Cheers mate!
Thankyou 👊
Nice rifle and good shooting 😊 and yes laughing is quite alright!
Thanks mate. Can't help it sometimes 🤷 😅
I used to rat in the neighborhood I lived in. I did it with a $159 .22 Norica Storm single-shot springer, mounted with my own brand of air rifle scope (Airscopes, which I designed for manufacture and imported from China with a simple illuminated center-dot, $29 [for me, $150 for customers]), 18 grain pellets, a porch light, and a tin of bird seed. I'd sighted the setup and just left it by the back window. I took 10 or 12 the first night and then did maintenance. It was nothing like what you were up against here.
Your setup is sorta cool, and I like that you use a rational procedure with decent weight pellets. People flake out about speed and power, and it is nice to see someone use good sense instead of fly-weight pellets and the most powerful rifle they can find. At least you are showing people some good sense. I did tech support for an airgun company and had to talk people out of going dear hunting with a .177.
Choosing the right pellet weight and speed for the job at hand is more important than most people realise.
Thanks for sharing your story mate. Very interesting. 👌
@@RJMHuntingAustralia You've got a cool job. Well, the rat part at least. I've had many battles with rats and know more about them than I should.
Thanks mate.
Trying to help our natives and protect the ecosystem is very rewarding
The bad thing is , the next day you have to pick them all up so it doesn't smell like death around your place!
Nice shooting!👍
Thanks mate. Fortunately the property owner does that.
weird everyone comments on what i was thinking during the vid
The smell of rat piss everywhere isn't too pleasant either
Those crazy eyes when he says "let's go have some fun."
Lol. 😅
Brilliant,love your videos
Much appreciated mate 👍
Great shooting there mate! Super professional. Thinking of getting something similar for my rat problem, but maybe not 28 grands worth!!😂
Can get set up for much less than that mate 👌
Ruger 10-22 hit a quarter 100 yards constantly I just need a scope like that to do it lol.plinken 22 one of my favorite thing to do.What ammo you using ?
I'm running 15.89gr Hades pellets for the rats Jeff
That was truly amazing, I have poultry here on my farm and baits have been effective. I have never seen rats in such numbers. The damage they are doing is horrendous. Their urine and shit are only going to make the poultry sick. I would love to know your final kill count, Cheers.
I lost count once I got to 80 Andrew 👌
Crikey that looks like fun mate. Never seen so many rats!
Almost as fun as pig shooting Rick. Almost... 😉
Man ole man you're gonna need a army to get rid of all those nasty rats...Great video 💥
Thanks, was a busy night 👍
Great shooting good clean kill shots 😊😊😊
Thank you mate 👍
Love those flying rats.
Red Bull rats. Lol
There seems to be a lag between the visual and the audio on the thermal. Great work as usual.
Thanks. Had a few audio issues with my video editing program.
I've never seen so many rats 🤣 that shooting is right up there with Texas hog hunting out of a chopper! Great job dead eye 👀
Thanks Phil.
I would love to have a crack at heli shooting those hogs though. 😉
I love it. This is a dream setup for any ahooter.
Im surprised youtube doesnt complain about this video they have all their rules.
Cheers mate 👍
Worth every penny
Holy sh-t mate, you need a chain-gun for that lot. Or grenades. Hell of a scope that, the image is as clear as day, and a good match of pellet weight and speed, you see a lot of pesting vids where you can see them punching holes in the tin.
Yeah, amazing scope image, not necessary for such close quarters shooting but geez it was nice to look through.
As to the pellet setup. It's imperative to set the air rifle up to suit the situation. Collateral damage makes for an unhappy customer and won't get you an invite back
Great vid thanks. Make sure you wash hands thoroughly after handling all that lead. Or wear gloves preferably. It builds up and stays in your system forever. Dangerous stuff
Always clean up afterwards mate. Thanks 👊
Epic video!
Thanks mate 👊
This is to freaking awesome. !!!
Thanks mate. 👊
What ft/lbs does that run at? Awesome shooting and great video. Dream set up
Dialed down to around 14 ft/lbs Stephen
Velocity in kfps-squared x 2.22 x projectile wt in grains = ft/lbs. Works from BBs to .50 BMG and beyond. The formula can be derived to determine necessary fps to tune a PCP to a desired ft/lb max as required in many nations outside the US, which has none. btw, 15.89g @900fps = 28.73+ ft/lbs. (my current goal lol) Try the formula and see if you get the same result. You can then have it in your head for any & all ballistic comparisons. Cheers.
Looks like fun! Great job getting those rats!
Cheers mate 👌
$23,499.95 just for the scope....thats is bloody crazy.
Love the FX Impact, my dream machine.
Crazy money. I was lucky enough to use it for a couple of weeks.
Great shooting! How long did it take this infestation to get to such a high level?
Only 6 months since my last visit
A Rat bucket trap may be a good thing to use if there's a lot of Rat's. Thanks for sharing. God bless you
Cheers mate 👍
What a wonderful piece of kit
Thanks mate 👍
HOLY SHIT UNREAL LOVE IT MAN BRILLIANT. GOT TO LOVE THE TEC
Thanks mate. It's bloody impressive gear
@@RJMHuntingAustralia back in 80ies only had bsa .22 that scope on theFX---O5 WOULD BE THE DUCKS NUTS FOR PIGS.
Kinda sickening to think about all that rat activity on your property at night. Great shootin and great thermal images!! 👍👍
Wouldn't mind seein the cane toad killing machine
Thanks mate. 👊
You only need a 7 iron for cane toads mate, it gives them a bit of lift and a little distance.
That's terrible 😅
I've seen another channel about ratting, done with dogs and minks and possibly ferrets, but they are very effective, as the dogs are of different breeds and sizes, the end shot shows the kill for the day, and I've seen the count at over 300! As far as your magazine concerns, Damifino! 28,000, for the shooter? Thats amazing in itself! Good Hunting!
Thanks mate.
I have since received the STUD speed loader kit. It is fantastic 👌
@@RJMHuntingAustralia looking forward to seeing it in use , I've just found your channel, and have to say , It's quite satisfying to watch you go, thanks, and I'll be watching regularly as I have been considering a purchase on a high quality air rifle, just not certain of the type or caliber, but I'm very fond of 22. Long Rifle in rimfire, and definitely impressed with the power your demonstrating here. Thanks again !
My pleasure mate. Appreciate the support 👊
Good shooting. The gun looks nice but seems a bit expensive.
It certainly is mate. First release of 1280 thermal.
Nice bit of gear though.
I hardly ever comment, but that was fun to watch. Especially when you started laughing, saying you shouldn’t. Makes me wish I had $28K
I try to keep things as professional as possible. Sometimes I just can't help it. 🤷♂️😅
Just one word..' Amazing"
Thankyou mate 👍
I've got a $78,000 machine that I use to kill cane toads.😉
Haha. Love it. 👌
I like the 1 wood!
You can't go past an old timber driver for cane toads😂
Jesus christ, are you carpet bombing them lol?
Almost at that stage. 😅
This guy has aimbot
Haha. 👌
This was so satisfying.
Cheers Vince
Unbelievable skill mate 😮
Thanks mate. 👊
for 28K I would also be wanting it to cook my dinners and other favours from it aswell !! 😂😁😋
With modern technology in mind, you'd at least want it to chat to you... keeping you company through your headphones. It could double up as a "target acquirer!"
Agreed 😅
Nah, then I wouldn't be able to hear that rewarding thwack.
@@RJMHuntingAustralia 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Yes there is a better system it’s called rat poison works quite well. Use it all the time and a lot cheaper than $28,000.🤷🏻♂️
Not as much fun though
Lol sounds boring
Loving that scope
Great image. 👌
That scope is awesome!
Yes it's pretty impressive 👊
Buy 2 cats. Save your money.
I was getting rats in my turkey house. So I would leave only one door open, then sneak out there and shut them in - along with me and a semi-auto pellet pistol equipped with a laser light. 30 rats later, I hardly see them anymore. But it was fun while it lasted!
That would be a great little setup mate
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers mate. 👊
That cat isn't so much the resident mouser as the customs agent charged with inspecting baggage to make sure you're not bringing any more in.
Nice shooting, mate.
Thanks Cathy 👍
Loved it !
Thanks buddy 👊
@@RJMHuntingAustralia my pleasure😀
Oh! What is Johnny doing down there? Hey, Johnny; are you ok mate? Ahg!
I think Johnny is having a nap. 😉
I real liked this one, especially when you see the splatters. I would love to be able to have that problem of rats o plenty. Don't get much of that here in PA. Had some problems with gray squirrels. So until that time I get to shoot rats, please carry on. You do a fine job, liked you laying down on job
Lol. Much appreciated mate. Thanks 👊
Congratulations. That thing is bad ass
Thanks mate. 👊
Mate, awesome vid. Least you don't shoot the wire like Nathan does. LOL
I try not to. 😅
Nice shooting there Bud!!!
Cheers mate 👍
Amazing work
Thanks mate 👊
oh yes ♥️ satisfying
Thanks
Awesome video thanks for sharing
No worries mate. Appreciate the view. 👊
Grat shootim Tex!
Thank you mate 👍
Great stuff, 📷 Work awesome, nice slug gun👌👍
Cheers mate 👊
So cool and satisfying 😌
Thanks mate 👍
LOL @ him farting while picking off the rats. Priceless! Lol
I think one of the rats had gas 🤦♂️
@@RJMHuntingAustralia 😂😂😂
G'day, enjoyed that one. I get one rat in mi garden every few weeks. Oh to have sport like yours. New suscriber, Big Steve, East Yorkshire, UK.
Thanks champion. Much appreciated mate 👊
Excellent!
Thanks
I'm a fellow Australian mate I you have the best job ever
It has its moments like any job but I do love it 👊
This looks like so much fun
Sure is mate 👍
Was that a sly fart in there Rod?😆 Another deeply satisfying video. Loved it, great work mate😊
Sounded like it but nah. It was more of a snort followed by a giggle. 😉
