The Airgun Show - dusk rabbit and squirrel hunt, PLUS the Walther LG400 Field Target…

- Dusk can be a great time for targeting skittish rabbits. Mat Manning sets up for a pony paddock ambush in the fading light and manages to shoot rabbits and some bonus grey squirrels while capturing the action with scope-cam footage.
We’ve got something very different in the kit section this week, as Mat casts an eye over the wooden stock version of the Walther LG400 Field Target. This super-accurate full-power competition rifle is packed with features and shapes up as a serious contender for competitive field target and HFT shooting.

Love the backwards summersaults.
Cheers from sunny Florida 🌞
The R10 TH is beautiful looking gun.
One will definitely be in my cabinet by the end of this year.
Great vid Mat.👍🏻
I can thoroughly recommend it, Justin. Looks good, shoots great and can take a knock or two.
All the best. Mat
U guys need to post more videos. I wait for your your video to be posted
Hello Mat, Looking forward to another great episode! Thank you cheers Tom LINY
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching.
All the best. Mat
Excelente video y hermoso el rifle de pcp se nota que es potente un gran saludo a la familia desde puente alto chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Nice haircut and excellent shooting. High quality scopes really show what they are made of when the light levels drop. Superior coatings, high refractive index glass and better design give the scope superior contrast and less light lost through better transmission. As for the cross hair reticle, I agree with you. A normal .177 sub 12 UK air gun zeroed at 30 yards has a drop of 1" @ 40 yards, 2" @ 45 yards and just under 3" at 50 yards. Given the known size of the legal UK airgun quarry, it is not so difficult to aim the gun correctly. I have come to prefer much simpler reticles in my old age. I find them less distracting.
Couldn't have put it better myself.
Thanks for watching. Mat
The Walther LG certainly gives you bang for your bucks, accuracy is blinding, and the stock adjustability fantastic!
It is a fantastic gun. I have now passed it on to a colleague who has far more target shooting experience than me and will produce a detailed review for Airgun Shooter mag. He is already blown away by it.
Cheers. Mat
Great stuff as usual mat. Love My R10, my favourite ratter, even though I have plenty to chose from. Pete in Essex.
Hiya Pete - hope all's well. It's a great gun. Was nice to get out with it.
Cheers. Mat
Yes your back I missed watching u hunt
Yes, it’s Thursday!
Great bag again Matt , the BSA definitely needs to see the field more often mate .. looking forward to the next outing 👍
Yes, it's a cracking gun.
Thanks for watching. Mat
I got my R10 TH in a viper version from the airgun center. I can honestly say it's the most accurate, the best-looking gun I have shot.
It's a brilliant bit of kit. Not just accurate but also very solidly made.
All the best. Mat
Good shooting Mat. That BSA is a good looking rifle. Keep the wood stock guns coming!
It looks good and shoots great.
Thanks for watching. Mat
Another top episode Matt. Always look forward to your videos. Never disappointed mate. Well done. Big fan of the BSA guns.
Thank you very much. It was really nice to get out with the BSA - I look forward to doing so again soon.
All the best. Mat
Its been years and still loving ur vids
Nice all shot.
It would be really nice to see you hunting with the rifles you're reviewing.
Suppose walther take the approach that if you're buying this rifle you already have a tank.
I would very much like to see you hunt with this rifle. I think this would make an interesting episode. LG 400
Its a beautiful rifle. Come on do it.
great video thanks!
Thanks for watching.
All the best. Mat
THUMBS UP -- GREAT VIDEO ,,
Great gun, I have a bsa ultra
Really glad to see the R10 TH get some exposure, got one on order from Pellpax at the moment!
I had my R10 tuned by Phil at the Ratworks, it has a 3 fps spread on a 10 string shot count, with JSB exact. Better than the walther item reviewed.
You should be well pleased with it. They are great guns.
Thanks for watching. Mat
@@theshootingshow Thanks mat, looking forward to getting it, just seems like bsa are struggling to get the Minnelli stocks at the moment as there’s been another 4 week delay on the order- which was already delayed because of Covid!
@@theshootingshow Hi mat, can I ask what scope mounts you used on the r10th please, I know there sportsmatch mounts, but do you know the model number!?, I’m looking at the HT08C-13 mounts which look right, but I’d love to know if these are the same ones you have one yours!?
Trying too find an r10th BSA is no easy task in New York! Great video!
Hi Micheal. I hope you manage to track one down.
Thanks for watching. Mat
Appreciate your thinking considering simpler can be better sometimes.
That is often the case. It's easy to get seduced by sophisticated kit and techniques but the simpler stuff is still as good as it ever was.
All the best. Mat
It'll be good to see more with the BSA R10th
lets get some squirls...love it.
Great thank you
Thanks for watching. Mat
Which shooting stick stand are you using? And is there a link to buying it? It looks like the Primos Jim Shockey Trigger Stick Tripod but not 100% sure.
They look like Primos Trigger Sticks, maybe gen 2?
Cheers. Russ
Nice bit of hunting
Thanks very much.
All the best. Mat
This is great.
You didn't shoot the Walther?!! Reading between the lines... You couldn't get a decent group with it 😂😂😂
Another good video Mat, I might have missed this but does the Walther have a safety catch aside from the dry-fire catch?
Cheers. Russ
Hi Russ. No safety catch. I guess that's because it is a gun that is designed to be loaded and shot in the comp lines rather than carried around loaded.
Cheers. Mat
@@theshootingshow Thanks Mat, cheers. Russ
“And obviously.... it isn’t”
*visible happiness*
Another great episode Mat! Great to see 2 species through the scope too, perhaps a future segment going forward. Have to ask though, where is your face veil from? Cheers. Dave
Thanks Dave. I've had that veil for years and can't remember where it came from. It is fairly generic so you should be able to find something similar.
All the best. Mat
Thanks for replying Mat. I have a garlands face veil which is similar and years old too. Just got back into air gun shooting/hunting and used to read all your articles in the magazines of the day and it’s great to watch you on CZcams 👍🏻
as allways 👍👍👍
I'm a little surprised you didn't put a few test shots at a card through it? I have the 6lb ft Target Sprint gun with open sights, incredible build quality
Hi Baz,
I did put a lot of shots through it but the rain forced us inside on the day of the video shoot. It was very accurate and easily out-shot me.
The gun is now with a colleague who has far more target shooting knowledge than me and will produce a detailed review for Airgun Shooter mag.
Thanks for watching. Mat
😃👍
How much did that scope cost you or actually the whole setup I'm looking to get into it without buying a beginner entry-level than middle than Advanced I want to go big or go home but I don't want to blow a shitload of money in case it's not my cup of tea just curious of what a setup like yours would cost
Hi Joey,
The BSA R-10 TH is about £900 and the scope is about £850.
Thanks for watching. Mat
hi matt, can you tell me more about the tripod you're using?
Do you find a good use for all the animals you dispatch???
Yes, rabbits and squirrels are eaten.
Thanks for watching. Mat
Fun fact, Skittish rabbits are native to Skittland
Dear Mat, why does the airtube have an expiry date of 11/30? Does this mean that after November 2030 one could not use it anymore??? That would be an enormous setback.
What tri-pod are you using? Thanks
They look like Primos Trigger Sticks, maybe gen 2?
Cheers. Russ
Hi Mat, just wondering what shooting sticks do you use?, as I might buy some myself.
Primos Trigger Stick Tripod - absolutely brilliant.
All the best. Mat
Brilliant shots ther
And what scope cam you using?
Scope-cam is GoPro Hero 7 in Eagle Vision mount.
Thanks for watching. Mat
Nice shooting with the r10th Matt.
Am I being picky or is it a tad loud?
Great content!
Hi Paul.
The R-10 TH is actually very quiet. It sounds pretty noisy because the sound was echoing in the concrete shed I was shooting from. I was pretty surprised when I heard the recorded audio.
Thanks for watching. Mat
I wondered that myself (how loud it seemed), but I guessed it would be reverb from shooting from where you were.
you are good shot
Matt bottled it. Ha ha ha.
Are airguns legal in Australia?
What tripod is that?
They look like Primos Trigger Sticks, maybe gen 2?
Cheers. Russ
May I ask do you eat these animals?
That walther looks like somebody bodged it together board out there brains in lock down. That under rail looks nasty

Hi mat im from karnataka of coorg in india i also a sharep shooter my air rifle is mob 35dina super gun my scope is bushnell
New to air rifle shooting , really enjoying your show. Do you use the meat from your kills ? . UK version of meateater Netflix show would be a good end to your hunts.
The bsa is a bit too loud for a .177
I suspect it was more down to the sound echoing from the concrete wall backdrop where Mat was sitting. The R-10TH is pretty quiet in my experience...
Why is 177 quieter than 22. Me no understand Roy boy
@@lesleyhoworth9598 i shoot an fx impact with al options there are avaible on the market on it
Hi Roy,
The BSA is extremely quiet. As stated, the noise is exaggerated by the acoustics of the concrete shed. I was surprised when I heard it back.
Thanks for watching. Mat
@@theshootingshow okayy i have a fx impact myself
I'd expect a better fps spread on the walther,my boys ultra is better
Did you eat the rabbits and squirrels?
Certainly did.
Thanks for watching. Mat
For any who are interested
My name is Pav and I offer pest control around Surrey, I use a legal limit BSA Supersport SE chambered in .22 and would love any permissions to go and do some shooting
Our rabbits don't do that over here in America I wish they would tho squirrels tho are about all day
Noisy gun
Yes, I noticed that too
Hi Carl,
The BSA is extremely quiet. The noise of the muzzle report is exaggerated by the acoustics of the concrete shed. I was surprised when I heard it back.
Thanks for watching. Mat
My dream is to have a good pcp, but in Brazil they cost the same as a popular car, that is, I will never buy.
that's unfortunate sorry to hear, in the uk they are relatively cheap!
atb
there's nothing wrong with a good old spring gun though it will teach you to be a better shooter
Who knows post Brexit we may get a free trade deal between our countries. We win selling you guns like this you win selling us what you’re good at producing..
@@tomtd That'll be very voluptuous ladies then.....
How much do they cost? I mean, they usually cost 1.000-3.000 £ already in the UK.
@@brushemteeth9159 cheap second hand s200 for example with scope around 500
Recently, all the guns you reviewed were really ugly. I long for some more traditionally designed woodstock rifles!
The Ultra CLX was a recent wooden-stocked gun we reviewed. I take your point, though, and we'll try to line up some more - I certainly like them.
Thanks. Mat
This time of year how do you know your not orphaning kit rabbits below ground to starve a horrible death ? Maybe consider leaving them be until summer ?
Nehh kill them all
Hi Ryan,
This is a pest control job where the rabbits are causing serious problems. While I understand your point, it would make the control of some pests, rabbits included, virtually impossible - for example, rabbits can breed for much of the year and rats can breed pretty much right through without a break.
Thanks for watching. Mat
@@theshootingshow thanks for replying, alway enjoy the show
Why?
The Walter is not a riffle. If you cant hit whit a normal gun. You are not good enought. This is technich and not a handlecaft.
😔😔😔😔😔
👎👎👎👎👎
unting for eating of defending could be ok. Killing for fun is not ok at all..especially when they still suffer for while after the hit. I invite people to report this to CZcams as violent video and inappropriate.
