Out on a very still and bright night shooting rabbits with the .17HMR topped of with the Arken zulus, running an additional IR and shooting 17g Remington accu-tips. Here are some of the notable shots of the night

7:19 careful theres a road a 100 yards directly above that bend aswell as the footpath which crosses just infront
Thats correct mate👍 always careful around there and constantly on the thermal to check for stray walkers of the footpath
The land your on looks familiar is it gibsons
Well spotted 😉 Andrew's is between two of my other permissions I have, its very handy to be able to walk the three of them together
I've killed a magpie at 107m with a sub 12 bsa ultra
Nice bit of kit there pal, and a few rabbits aswell, can inask, with the zulus and the ballistic calculator is there a minimum weight pellet needed for the ballistic calculator to work?, reason I'm asking I'm.using sub 12 and used to have the atn 4k pro but had to use a pellet over 10 grain for it to work
Cheers mate, you can input any pellet weight with the zulus it's quite simple to use once you have had a little play with it👍
Do you zero this thing then add your rounds ballistic information or what ? It seems like if you zero it and then you go out hunting with a different round it would be off.
Great video, what camera do you use to film yourself at night?
Hunting rabbits when your rifle shoots minute of squirrel 😂
Savage A17 is nice for follow up shots though you shouldn’t need one 😂 Flat shooting and my chronograph measured on average 100fps faster than what’s written on the box
Hi, great video, what is the model of your silencer, I need the same one for my tikka 22lr, lots of coypu around here!! Best wishes
If you stick with that barrel you could fit an air stripper to match length of the shroud which should give greater sound moderation (not sure on legality of that as its texhnically a second 3rd party moderator). Either way it would be an interesting experiment as my jumbo is loud for an air rifle but mostly in the hammer ping
Thats a interesting thought, would have to see how the legalities would be with moderators being on license but if it was past of a shroud it should be ok🤔
Interesting setup, just come from your 17hmr video and I have a Kral Jumbo walnut. It works well with 18gr in .22 pushing around 29ftlb
Have the same remington for my Anschutz works well. Nice content love the natural backstop from the upwards slope! Your timelapse pf going prone was hilarious!!! 😂
@MJSherwood timelapse? That was real time I will have you know🤣 Cheers mate appreciate the thumbs up on the content, it's a great backstop and makes for some good shooting
@@Veteranvermincontrol speedy!!!
Nice little video mate liked & subscribed 👍
@jimwood thanks buddy really appreciate the comment and it's nice to know someone likes the content 🙏
@Veteranvermincontrol no worries. I've got some videos coming up with my 17hmr soon, cracking little rifle I thinking. Keep up the good work 👍
You probably won't see too much difference as Hornady, Remington, Federal, and Norma are all manufactured by CCI. That said, I do notice a difference between 17 and 20 grain Hornady rounds. My 17 HMR prefers the 20 grainers. I get a lot of 'split-necks' with the super hot Hornady stuff. Id rather loose 100 fps and retain the accuracy.
Thats something that I heard regarding the manufacturing of the rounds with various brands being the same just branded up differently, Winchester being a exception. I've not tried any 20g yet but will pick some up next time I see some as like you I'm not to fussed about losing FPS
Do you find this rifle very loud
@@Veteranvermincontrolthem Remington's are good, best I've used overall in my savage 93, Winchester that I had were so bad I returned the unopened boxes and swapped for Remington ( it was just a case of what they had at the time). Hornady are usually accurate but batches have suffered from split necks. I've got a bunch to use up so going through box by box as I get to them and pulling out the split ones before I start. Nice video mate, well put together!! 👍
Had some split necks with Remington rounds…. Shooting one night, 1 round exploded, blew magazine to bits, side of stock off, luckily my hand was out the way, took said gun to shop, New stock, 2 new magazines, 500 rounds of Hornady ammo!!!🤘💪💪💪
Love this content mate I’m looking at getting into rimfire rifles but using air rifles at the moment
@suricky1 thanks for the comment mate it's nice to know someone likes the content🙏 You will love the versatile of a rimfire but dont ever get rid of your airguns as they always have a place in the cabinet for certain jobs
Which zulus are you using?
Hi Steve I'm using the 5-20 here👍
What was the kit used here bud ?.
I’m using Hornady 17 grain VMax, I’ll keep an eye out for that Remington ammo if you reckon it goes well through the Tikka
what bog deathgrip tripod, is that please
Hi it's the aluminium version, the weight difference between this and the carbon one is not much and not worth the extra money👍
Was thinking about getting the arken 3-12 but looking at the picture quality on that is making me think twice
The daytime footage was later on in the day as the light was fading so the picture quality naturally drops, check out my other video which is about 6 or 8 minutes long as I show the low light capability of the scope, in day time it's a lot better. Try and get a look through one at your local RFD if you can, then you will be able to see what the image is like👍 If you do decide to get one look up DABs shooting Supplies in Darlington, Dave and Rachel will be able to sort you out with one, say I've put you onto them👍
Ballistic calc lrf and aim point shown all in one unit is insane considering one
@jif4356 at the price point of £600 new and around £400-450 used there phenomenal value for money and I love how compact the units are, I have had mine on everything from my airgun upto my .223, love them!
What thermal scope are you using?
Hi it's a hik lynx 19mm spotter buddy, the scope is the 5-20 Arken zulus which is fantastic value for money 👍
Ok thanks for the reply
No problem 👍
Loved that wat tripod do you use?
Hi it's a bog deathgrip tripod, superb bit of kit and I would be with out it👍
Great content 👍
Thanks @danbrown6255 really appreciate the comment 🙏
What did you zero at on set up top vid
@@stevewhitton5502 hi mate it was likely to be a 42yrd zero if I remember rightly
What moderator are you using? They are not something you can easily get a permit for here in Australia...but that shot was freaky quiet
Hi, the mod is a ase utra jet z compact, there superb mods and are very well made. It's a shame about the laws you guys have to deal with over there in some ways, I like how you can have semi auto centerfires though......we cant unfortunately
@@Veteranvermincontrol Owning a centre-fire semi-auto is pretty hard though. The 2 easiest options are you have to be a pest controller with contracted customers AND show that the business is your only source of income. Option 2 is a primary producer. Any of the other ways are harder again, military collectors, film armouries, not really any other options than that.
@@Veteranvermincontrol Well, that jet z is ridiculously quiet. I wish they were legal here for the average gun owner.
@@RabbitBusters yeah there pretty good mate, well made aswell
Nice shooting! The scope is amazing. I use a PARD DS35 70LRF and for a budget scope, it's really good. I am going to have to get a Bog Deathgrip though, the stability it seems to give is just what I need.
@RabbitBusters Cheers mate🙏 In do like the zulus there superb value for money! I've never looked through a DS35 but hear good things about them. The bog deathgrip is a game changer for me, I'm looking at fitting a ball head with arca swiss on it down the line
@@Veteranvermincontrol If you get the chance, my channel is 99% PARD video if you want to take s look. Thanks for getting back to me. Good hunting mate.
How do you check the velocities of the v-max 17HMR
At the moment I'm just using the fps given on the box, I will chrony it soon along with a few other guns and get the ballistics set up so there on the money
what pic rail extender are you using there?
Hi it's just a generic dovetail to picatinny rail off amazon, it was about £13 but works very well
What’s the mod you have on the tikka
Hi it's a wildcat panther whisper, it's a over barrel moderator which makes the guns overall length nice and compact
@@Veteranvermincontrol thanks
No worries buddy👍
Out of interest, why are you body shooting?
Why is some of your video mirror imaged? Or do they make a zulus for left handed rifles?
Hi I think its because I have been using my phone to record some footage and when I rotate to camera it gives a mirror image, will figure it out so that It doesn't. All zulus's come as they are so no LH versions, which personally I see no need for and I'm left handed 👍
Yeah, phones can be weird. So no issues with the bolt fouling the Zulus or mount? Probably depends on bolt lift angle.
Yeah I will have a play around with the setting on the camera see if I can sort it. I've not encountered any issues with the bolt not being able to cycle due to interference from the moneys or the unit, it sits quite high as it is so should clear most bolts, on the tikka its 60' bolt throw so no chance of that but on my howa 1500 that's got a much more open bolt throw and it works absolutely fine, there cracking little scopes for the money 👍
Hi, im looking at getting a zulus for my t1x but not sure what mount to go for, i would like to keep it as a dovetail but that comes in 35moa from optics warehouse and i thought it would be too much. Or would I be better going the picatinny route? Id be using it for rabbits from 50-150yds Thanks
Hi I'm not aware of any dovetail mounting options for the zulus as yet so cant say. But for your HMR I think the 0moa mount would work, I've currently got a 35moa mount on mine which has been shimmed because it was on my fac airgun and it works, but I've just got another zulus and it came with a 0 moa mount, which I will put on my HMR and hopefully it will work, will report back soon👍
Hi, what scope mount are you using? Is it 0moa or have you gone for the 35moa Thanks
Hi, I have a 35moa mount on this set up, I had to shim the scope though to get it so I could swap it onto my other guns until I bought another zulus 👍
Another great video. I did try a Zulus but found it too complicated and reliant on my phone to operate, superb image but a fiddle to use/programme. I've made these comments on a few reviews and forums and recieved a personal contact from Arken, acknowleging this is a problem as there have been a large number of similar comments worldwide. They are in the process of simplifying it and doing away with the need for the phone app. The new upgraded "user friendly" Zulus will be available later this year.
Thanks Antony I appreciate the comment, I'm not all that good with technology, and i did have a few moments when i was scratching my head with the set up of the zulus, but once i got familiar with it i found it easy to use, like you say many people have raised the issue you mentioned and i think it will be good for many users who want a more simplistic approach to use. I'm excited to see what the next few years hold for the arken zulus and the brand on the whole. Thanks again for your comment
Nice shots, hope you feel better soon 🙂
Thanks mate, slowly getting there but still not back to normal yet😐
Love the video, great format well done !.
Thanks I appreciate that! It's new to me so just trying to see what people like and what's the best way to document my sessions. Again thank you👍
You need to replace that 1" pic rail with a 1/4" and lower that scope .....or get another stock with an adjustable cheek ....you're waaaay up there over the bore ... also ...that can is massive for a lil 22 rf .....that made for a 22-250 ??
Pic rail was just a quick way to get the zulus on the rifle, down the line it will be swapped out for something more suitable when I've got a chassis for it, just a temporary measure The moderator is a .17HMR caliber specific over barrel/backdraft silencer, built for rimfires as such👍
Nice video buddy. I'm relatively new to the .17hmr scene, as been using the .22lr for donkeys years. Can I ask what mod and rifle you're using ?. Looks like a CZ 457, but can't be sure ?.
Hi mate, thanks for the comment . I ditched my .22lr after getting the HMR as I felt it was a more versatile round and I was more productive with it than the .22lr The rifle is a tikka t1x with a wildcat panther moderator. I did have a cz457 in .22lr but the tikka is a better choice in my opinion, that's not to say its better, I just prefer the 3 position safety. That said the synthetic stock on the CZ was much better than the tikkas. If you can try some Remington accu-tips 17g give them a try there equally as good as the hornady vmax 👍
I didn't hear what gun your using my friend did you say it is a KRAL.
Hi mate, yes it's a kral hi cap jumbo in .22 caliber, nice rifle for the money and it does the job👍
Nice video mate, happy hunting
Cheer mate that's appreciated 👍
Fair set up very nice
What moa mount are you using on zulus and wher did you get riser? Im a lefty and bolt on rifle get in the the way of the ir, needing to raise scope up
I'm using the 35moa rail on the zulus and I've then put a cheap picatinny rail on the gun from Amazon. I do sometimes fit a external IR with an adjustable mount onto the zulus itself. Or you could fit a offset mount if you have space on the picatinny rail 👍
@@Veteranvermincontrol needing to raise mine up so bolt can clear, 0moa on mine, whats your zero range
Do you have an link for the riser
Hopefully this link will work mate, what rifle are you putting it on? www.amazon.co.uk/FOCUHUNTER-Tactical-Picatinny-Converter-Lightweight/dp/B08JTRW47R/ref=sxin_19_pa_sp_phone_search_thematic_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.463b7ff5-5485-4078-b5dc-c8c41bfc1358%3Aamzn1.sym.463b7ff5-5485-4078-b5dc-c8c41bfc1358&crid=27L4RVC4EFMI3&cv_ct_cx=picatinny+rail&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.keDHThH__MFXm4-iGL_u5op80Y0PXN2YpQoam86_zkH1PcwBhjJW9PaKXqI-EmAQewayVTs2BkE4uYQvD29l_g.oSCaf75_zF0qEsTIG6dzacAOW8VyqDyelnpEU_fmxFo&dib_tag=se&keywords=picatinny+rail&pd_rd_i=B08JTRW47R&pd_rd_r=9bbded77-e71e-4155-b504-7464b97fde1a&pd_rd_w=MJERk&pd_rd_wg=g3IlQ&pf_rd_p=463b7ff5-5485-4078-b5dc-c8c41bfc1358&pf_rd_r=TQQ4D3GKSP2VHDMBYNA4&qid=1716278383&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=picatinny+ra%2Caps%2C195&sr=1-2-ad3222ed-9545-4dc8-8dd8-6b2cb5278509-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWM&psc=1
Regarding zero range I used to zero at 100yrds but I now zero at 42 yrds and it keeps it nice and flat out to 130yrds, I want to play around with a 75 yard zero to see if I can maximize the trajectory for shooting flat out to 150yrds. What do you zero yours at?
Fantastic video
Thank you thats greatly appreciated mate
For a gun show we need to see what you're shooting at and not you. Get a camera scope or a dedicated camera for the target.
All shots were recorded through the scope (arken zulus)
Sorry should have said, shots on rabbits were recorded through the arken zulus, I do have another camera that I sometimes bring out and set up on target but I was only zeroing so just put the kill shots up
Have you watched the whole video ,he's using a Zulus and records the shots, or are you blind and having a bad day ?
@@Veteranvermincontrolignore the trolls and block them bud ,your doing a good job
Thanks mate, obviously new to this YT stuff and just trying to find my bearings and how to document my outings the best I can👍
Could you let me know which thermal spotting scope you are using? I'm looking to purchase one for myself but am having trouble deciding. Thank you.
Hi I'm using the hikmicro lynx 19mm, it's a good unit for the money as it allows you to focus the image where the small lens versions are fixed.
Nice shooting thinking of getting the zulus I have a alpex 4k czcams.com/video/itfBkl7fN_M/video.htmlsi=mVED1ahDrEoRGd0E
These are very accurate shots.❤❤❤ Which thermal scope did you use here?
