- Mat Manning is hunting rabbits that are causing dangerous excavations on pathways around a wedding venue in this week’s episode. With the bunnies concentrated in one main area, Mat sets up an ambush with his FX Panthera Hunter Compact air rifle and captures some awesome scope-cam footage through his Hawke Sidewinder telescopic sight as the shooting unfolds.
Also in this week’s episode, Mat has a review of the Konus Eternity 6-24x50 telescopic sight. With a wide zoom range and impressive optical performance, this versatile riflescope is suited to a wide range of hunting and target shooting applications.

Thanks Alex, and best of luck with those rabbits. Mat
Thought you left, glad to see you're back,really enjoy your videos.
Rabbit boy gets a kick out of shooting a pallet gun loool
Thanks for metric dimensions.
Is Airgun world magazine sold in the USA? Haven’t found it in any of my local (eastern Pennsylvania) stores.
I know it's not the "same",but the online magazine is free.
You should be able to take out a subscription here: airgun-world.com/ - the discount offer and shooting insurance only applies to the UK, though.
Thanks for watching. Mat
Nice gun
I wonder how many falconry centres have their freezers full of rabbits and squirrels donated by air gun hunters.
One in my locality certainly does.
Thanks for watching. Mat
Hi I’m new to shooting and have had some practice at a few ranges now, I would now like to go out rabbit shooting. I live in the UK near to the pennies, Ashton under Lyne to be specific. Now reading online they’re is conflicting info on what and where I can shoot. Is it legal to go up onto the moores as it isn’t privately owned and shoot?
Hi Matt do you fill gun by probe or do you have to take the buddy bottal off thanks David
Hi David. The Panthera has a Foster connection so the bottle doesn't need to be removed for filling.
Thanks for watching. Mat
How did you setup the gopro to record in scope?
I use an Eagle Vision camera mount.
Thanks for watching. Mat
Whats the name of the moderator you used?
My that fx is quite
Of the Konus scopes, I prefer the EP30 Pro with 10 different reticles. Can you review that unit?
I will try to get my hands on that one for a future review.
Thanks for watching. Mat
❤
Well done! Which scope cam are you using?
I use a GoPro in the Eagle Vision mount. Get on very well with it.
Thanks for watching. Mat
@@theshootingshow cheers Mat!
👍👍👍👍
Where did you get the bottle clamp from please Matt ?
Hi David. I have had that clamp for a very long time. If I recall correctly, it came from Best Fittings.
Thanks for watching. Mat
@@theshootingshow Thanks Matt.
12ft lb be nice most of us cant afford the fac models but i love it still watch out maggies
Price has nothing to do with it - FAC rifles are only a few pounds more than the 12 ft/lbs versions. More to do with willingness to work through the application process and suitability of the applicant. FAC just gives a little more range, stability in wind, flatter trajectory and greater impact. But 12 ft/lbs is still more than adequate and an accurate shot will kill a rabbit/squirrel at 30 yards just as effectively as FAC.
You would be surprised how cheap FAC airguns can be. They tend to have a lower second-hand value than sub-12 models.
Thanks for watching. Mat
Not sure what kind of crazy rabbits you got over there mate, but here in the eastern US they are wayyyyy dumber. I could sit outside on my deck, plink a bunch of cans, take a few laps around the yard then grill a burger and the rabbits would be hanging out exactly where they were at the start 😂. Crazy how different they can be. Regardless, cheers!
Ever had any issues regarding the clamp for the bipod being on the bottle? I’m always afraid it stresses the connection point
None at all. I did actually check with Johan at FX after a few people questioned it in the past. He says it's absolutely fine, though you wouldn't want to overtighten it.
Thanks for watching. Mat
How that much rabbits come there
Who’d be a rabbit?
Ok fen
If you're pushing its optical quality than you should demonstrate it with an optical test. A tracking test should basic.
That is a fair comment, Marcus. I have shot the box with the Konus and it made an exact return to zero - I should have stated that.
Thanks for watching. Mat
Price of chicken meat sky hi
Rabbit tastes the same free.
Great point. Rabbit also has much higher welfare standards - it's free-range and better for you.
Thanks for watching. Mat
You don't need camo for rabbit.
You are right. But as I already have a camouflage jacket, I don't see the point in not wearing it just because it isn't essential.
Thanks for watching. Mat
Any excuse to use a expensive FAC air Gun, you could have used sub 12 .
You are correct, I most certainly could have used a sub-12 airgun on this occasion. However, with a more powerful option in the cabinet, and not knowing whether wind would be a problem, it seemed logical (and ethical) to go with FAC.
I am hoping to line up another rabbit shoot for the next episode and will try to go with an affordable sub-12 model to show that you don't have to spend a fortune to bag a few bunnies.
Thanks for watching. Mat
@@theshootingshow I agree, a humane quick ethical kill is essential.
💯 right
@taffman1 so should all hunting be done with fac?
@@MrNewtonianno hunting can be done with sub 12 but using a fac rifle u secure the kill
Such a boring video 👎🏼
Why don't you post one that is so much more interesting?
Put your airgun up where the sun never shines
Wales?
