Hi every one back on the rats here with my HW 77 .177 12 ftlbs using the Pulsar C50 and PBiR X illuminator , this was my best ever night rat shooting with a spring action air rifle.
Simon that rifle can shot through the eye of a needle you’ve got that setup perfectly.All the very best to you Jack and all the family👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
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…🧐🤓
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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam.
Hi Simon, great to see you back here on YT! Would give Jack a treat were I there. Was there once back in 1965 as an Exchange student. Beautiful country you have! Thanks! Dave in USA
Brilliant hunt! I'm surprised you didn't run out of ammo before the night was done, the rats were definitely out and about. Good to see your old mate, he looks good! Cheers!
I'm in Wisconsin US and I'm creeped out for you sitting on that barnyard floor with all those rats running around! What a great night hunt! can't wait for the next one Simon!
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.
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 👍🏻
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!
Absolutely brilliant video Simon. It is nice to have Jack assisting with the intro. I'm an old springer shooter, literally and figuratively, and I'm loving you spotlighting the HW 77. Cheers from Texas, more videos coming soon I hope.
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... cheers from Scotland 🙋♀
Great video , keep up the good work , my pellet of choice ( pretty much fornthe last 35 years ) has been the RWS Superdome, have worked like a dream in all my HWs , currently using a HW95K for my pest work .
Really interesting and enjoyable ratting video Simn and Jack, thanks you for showing us this. I am a 'dyed in the wool ' Weihrauch break barrel rifle fan and when I see "HW" show up in the title I sit up and take notice even more :) Thanks again Simon.
That's plenty of meat for a tasty rat pie... In Victorian Britain rich and poor ate rat pie (says Wikipedia). But I'll maybe just stick to chicken and lamb. Good shooting Simon.
😎👏👍saludos mr simon desde chile es increible el rendimiento que le saca al hw 77 al ser un rifle de resorte muy buena jornada de caza de plagas un abrazo para jack 👏👏👏
Those rats from the first place should start their own Pink Floyd cover band. "Hey teachers! leave those rats alone. All in all, you're just another rat in the wall." LOL Thanks for another fun video.
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 TH-cam 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👍
Nice shooting simon carnt beat a good springer with a nice bit of glass get the internals right and the trigger pull set you have a brill combo for life keep up the good work all the best fred.
Great to see Jack, no words, just a hand. It sounds bad but I taught my two boys gun dog commands , saved them from a broken glass when they were leading a conga at a party when they were little, whistle, hand 🖐️ stop 🎉
Cracking session Simon, tis the season to be ratting again, started mine last Friday, youhave to get one of those number clickers to keep count, nice video
Hi our simon 👍👍wow wow bro the rimfire i do lv the sound that rifle bro fantastic job you doi you make it👍😁 look so easy bro thats brilliant ngt on the rats bro you wouldant het me home if i owned somthink like that my friend for het the snow flakes bro not worth your time of day bro carnt wait till see your new sight brilliant job thank you so much for your time lv out to you and our jack lv out to your family god🙏bless you my friend please be safe see you soon bro👍👏
I watched this using TH-cam’s subtitle feature so not to disturb my wife watching the Bake Off! Your brilliant northern accent played havoc with it - give it a go, it’s hilarious. “In all fairness” is translated as “In all furnace”
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.
Great video Simon and love the intro with your best mate Jack. I like your HW 77 I'm looking at ordering one because of how accurate they are and being a under lever so the barrel doesn't move like my break barrel Benjamin does. That was one nonstop rat 🐀 supply chain of targets. Cheers Simon and give Jack a pat for me
Fantastic shooting again Simon great to see the star of the show 👍brilliant to hear the last video had no negative feedback. Keep up the good work looking forward to seeing the next one 👏
Great Video Simon, Rats everywhere!! I've never seen so many at once. As always though, your excellent shooting soon got through them. Nice to see Jack, I hope he's keeping well...🙂👍🏻👍🏻

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.
Simon that rifle can shot through the eye of a needle you’ve got that setup perfectly.All the very best to you Jack and all the family👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴

Great to see Jack and great to see a springer doing the job accuracy definitely not a problem. Great video as always.

Sturgeon Bay here, Simon is a Legend !
Nice to see Jack again Simon. Great spot on shooting as usual. Cant wait for the next one.. 😎👍

Good to see Jack again. Great shooting like always. Made my day to see you had a new video again. Have a great day.
This guys great, straightforward, humane, and a good character. Lovely video.
Great shooting Simon, good to see Spotter Jack again give him big hugs please.
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 👍🏻
Lol ye did i
As always, great to see Jack. It’s funny to see the black bales of silage. The company I work for developed the process of wrapping a bale.
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 shoot Simon.
I shoot my springers off sticks all the time. Great sport and accuracy, good to see Jack.
Brilliant video as always Simon shooting rats with a BSA meteor at 10 was how it all started for me 👍
Excellent shooting Simon especially with a springer
That is a serious scope the Pulsar C50. Great shooting as well. The hw77 looks great with the laminate stock as well. Great video mate, well done
Thanks pal.
Great shooting as always, thanks for the video. Cheers from Minnesota
Absolutely brilliant video Simon. It is nice to have Jack assisting with the intro. I'm an old springer shooter, literally and figuratively, and I'm loving you spotlighting the HW 77. Cheers from Texas, more videos coming soon I hope.

Yet another great video well done, and good to see old Jack still part of the team, albeit probably curled up at home!
Cracking marksmanship Simon. Good to see Jack early on in the video.
Those cubby shots were the best!!
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼……………………………………………WOW, that first place was COVERED UP with rats!!! Good shooting and it’s ALWAYS good to see Jack.
Always a pleasure watching your videos Simon 🏴👍
Great shooting as always, need 2 of you with all of those. Nice to see the old fella at start
Great video , keep up the good work , my pellet of choice ( pretty much fornthe last 35 years ) has been the RWS Superdome, have worked like a dream in all my HWs , currently using a HW95K for my pest work .
Really interesting and enjoyable ratting video Simn and Jack, thanks you for showing us this.
I am a 'dyed in the wool ' Weihrauch break barrel rifle fan and when I see "HW" show up in the title I sit up and take notice even more :)
Thanks again Simon.
👍👍👍 Great, the exits are closed with rat carcasses !
Thank you it's been a while since I saw a rat hunting video with a springer just shows you don't always need a high end pcp to shoot rats
You were on fire that night mate. They didn't stand a chance. The old boy looked well bless him.
Thank you.
Man right from jump, this had field day written all over it! I counted 41, very well done.
Some top shooting there Si. Great to see Jack again mate. 👍🏼
Great evening of shooting. Its almost like your were wearing the cologne "ODE OF DUMP" the way the rats were coming out towards you.
Great session on the rats Simon, it's great to see a springer out in pest control action again. Look forward to your new scope video mate.
Another great video Simon. That 77 is doing the business for you. Good to see his lordship too. 🙂
Thanks 👍
What a fantastic video Simon keep up the good work and keep them coming 👍
Thanks 👍
These new guns today's time are amazing when I was 18 years old many years ago I was shooting rats with my BSA 22.
Ye my first air rifle was a BSA Meteor and i loved it but looking back to whats out these days it was rubbish lol
Great shooting. Night. Cold. Chatting 🙂
That's plenty of meat for a tasty rat pie... In Victorian Britain rich and poor ate rat pie (says Wikipedia). But I'll maybe just stick to chicken and lamb. Good shooting Simon.
😎👏👍saludos mr simon desde chile es increible el rendimiento que le saca al hw 77 al ser un rifle de resorte muy buena jornada de caza de plagas un abrazo para jack 👏👏👏
AWESOME! Great to see "Jack". Oh, and BTW, nice video.

The body shot close to end of the video made it more interesting

Great to see Jack, no words, just a hand. It sounds bad but I taught my two boys gun dog commands , saved them from a broken glass when they were leading a conga at a party when they were little, whistle, hand 🖐️ stop 🎉
Actions speak louder than words Simon and what a nights action this video has been...Well done and thank you...........

Superb video, and showing off the power of a springer, well done.
Thank you much appreciated
Very impressive! especially with an underlever at night.
Thank you Marvin.
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.
This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos. Really nice to see a springer for a change. You have that gun set up just right. Nice work 👍
Fantastic shooting Simon
