    Spot on Simon! Great opening in explaining your platform n equipment and always, it’s great seeing Jack. What a night!

    That 77 is a peach. You'd expect a bit of a jump when the piston releases but hardly a blip to the sight picture. Nice work mate, very good.

    Hi Simon,
    Thank you for your praise and gratefulness. You are very welcome, and thank you for another great video.
    Your HW 77 is super, super kit, looks gorgeous, though I think it helps, you being behind the scope, pulling the trigger! Nice to see lovely boy, Jack.
    The HW77 at 25 yards, as you've proved, is a tack driver. The Weihrauch's are built like bank vaults and petform the same way.
    I stay away from JSB Heavies 10.34 grain, for spring air rifles and stay with 8.44 grain. I use 10.34grain pellets in pcp air rifles.
    A top gunsmith told me, keep the Heavies10. 34grain to pcp air rifles and 8.44 grain pellets to spring piston.

    This must be one of the best if not the best of your videos on the rats you’ve done Simon, cracking footage and it’s great that someone is using the springers and showing just how good they are in the right hands of course! and we can’t forget Jack the old lad making an appearance too.
    I went out on Friday night but didn’t see one rat but it wasn’t a wasted outing as I came back with dinner as I had a quick look over in the field and there was a rabbit bobbing about and I knew it was going to be a challenging shot as it was a pretty good distance but there was no wind and I got my Weihrauch hw100 kt in 177 steady on the gen 3 sticks and allowed for distance which was a guess as I thought it must be at least 45 yards and took the shot and it lept up about a foot in the air and dropped stone dead. I paced it out as I went to pick it up and I paced 48 yards and the pellet had hit right between the ears. The following day I walked back with my range finder and it was 51 yards! I was capped to bits, but I just wish I pressed record on the wraith as it was a rare distance for me and it just goes to show just what a sub 12 ft lb is capable of.
    Anyhow keep those videos coming as we need folk like you on CZcams we’ve lost two within the last two weeks as they’ve pulled the plug and we’ll miss them thanks to the decision maker at CZcams.

      I did want to say exactly what you did,” through the eye of a needle “. To be fair, I’d say if Simon was to stick a 5inch needle at 20 yards, he’d probably take the head of it…🧐🤓

  • @ctom4103
    @ctom4103 Před 11 měsíci +4

    Some very very good shooting there Simon. The 77 does perform exceptionally well- can tell just from the movement (or lack of it) on the reticle.
    No regulator issues, no power curve, no magazine issues, never ran out of air- superb!
    Possibly dropped a few pellets in the mud and one or two in the action though?
    Great bit of pest control- keep it up 👍🏻

    Great shooting Simon...had a little chuckle when the rifle shot out raspberries at the same time as the pellets...give Jack a hug (and a sneaky treat from me🍗)...I'm afraid my Chocolate Lab Kally is in much the same way as Jack and so precious...

    Top quality vid as always and outstanding shooting as always too....to the point that unless you know the 77 you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a PCP you were shooting! I can't wait to get back out shooting again and I can't deny that your vids have inspired me to fulfill my childhood dream of owning an HW77. Best wishes mate and thank you for your time to film, edit and share!

    Great video... C50 so versicle from fox to rats... nice to show newcomers that spring guns are useable with NV. I got the interst years ago from CZcams vids of rat shooting using Sony video cams. I think we all owe the sport to the pioneers of digital NV
    I bet the old research videos have all gone now. C50 is a versitile day/night scope ... got one myself. Thermal is coming on now ...
    Hats off to the guys and girls who started the spark years ago ... with Sony night shot👍

    Excellent piece of shooting as usual! I don't know if an air rifle gets hot after that many shots or not, ha ha! Here's a challenge for you, glue a tiny piece of thread onto the back of a 177 pellet. Stick a large sewing needle into a piece of wood about 20 meters away and see if you can thread the needle. I know you can do it! Love seeing Jack. Thanks again.
