The Airgun Show | Farmyard Rat Shooting at Night| Crosman Trailhawk air rifle review

Mat Manning is out on a farmyard rat hunt using night vision gear to target the rodents in total darkness. With a stealth at top priority, Mat has paired his FX Airguns Dreamline Classic with a Hikmicro Alpex LRF 4K as Mat digital day and night scope for lamp-free hunting.
Also in this week’s episode, Mat has a review of the Crosman Trailhawk. This gun and riflescope combo delivers excellent value for money and the Trailhawk break-barrel even boasts a ten-shot magazine-fed action.

Great stuff Mat, I reckon it's time to buy one of the LRF Alpex.

Mat really is a great presenter.

[@crazycressy7986]

Use garlic mayonnaise as bate

[@reservedone1791]

Thanks for the suggestion. What do you use as bait?

[@WilliamCarr-nv7ib]

Hi Mat. Great show 👍🏻. I also have a FX dream line classic however mine came with barrel bands. I saw you didnt have any on yours and was wondering what your thoughts were on them?

[@theshootingshow]

That's interesting. I don't recall seeing a Dreamline Classic with barrel bands. Must admit, I don't have a strong opinion in them. I have plenty of guns without them, and they don't seem to be any the worse for it.
Thanks for watching. Mat

What seat are you using Mat when out ratting? Cheers

[@theshootingshow]

Hi Charlie.
It is a very old stool from Amazon. I have used it for years and it's brilliant. Search 'folding backpack stool' and you should find something very similar.
Thanks for watching. Mat

[@barrydavies998]

The "Twailhawk" has chequering not stippling on the fore end and grip .... Thought this geezer was supposed to know his stuff...

[@theshootingshow]

You are correct Barry. It is indeed chequering - a slip of the tongue which I should have spotted in the edit. Thanks for flagging.

[@reservedone1791]

Hey Baz - seen any more UFOs lately?👽👽👽👽

[@davidpuia2564]

First ❤

[@fkkmag8692]

Can you hunt rats with reddot?

[@theshootingshow]

It is possible to use a red dot for rat shooting. I personally prefer the precision of a riflescope.
Thanks for watching. Mat
