I grew up in northern Utah. Every spring before we brought the horses back to the ranch my dad and I would clear out the corral of potguts (small version of prairie dog with a bushy tail) We would go up with our 22's and kill as many as we could on Saturday and half of Sunday. Then we would spend the last part of Sunday filling in all the holes made by the vermin. Didn't want the horses stepping in the holes. Some of my best memories with my dad.
I don't understand why so many dislikes. If you don't like what you see why are you looking. Mat you are the reason i got into pcp guns and love every minute of it :):)
Really enjoying seeing slugs/bullets make it to AG's mainstream. There are a few of us who have been using them for several years now. Some you know. Doug Noble, (Dyotat100), Cedric, (Tofazfou), Mike L. (KnifeMaker). With excellent results and true precision long range accuracy. My hat is off to you for working closely with FX , and NicK of Neilson ammunition. I enjoy my Dyotat100 .257, and have an R&L setup for it as well, also in .257. Just sent out one of the Taloln/?Dor .257 barrels out to Jefferson State Air Rifles for conversion to fit the Rainstorm. 25, inorder to convert it to .257. All valve work and port work completed by myself. I find the .22 used in this vid performing very well indeed! Many are awaiting the .25 and .30 slug barrels from FX. One of the more interesting creations I have seen of late is the Marauder HMAIR that Cedric, (Tofazfou) built for himself, with the work once again performed by Doug Noble, (Dyotat100. It is .172 cal. and a pure laser! He is getting headshots in the 100 to 200 yard range with fantastic accuracy from slugs he is casting himself. good stuff coming for and to the AirGunning world. ;
Those Leshiy classic rifles are way more capable than most people realise. In .25 using 28gr H&N slug HP running 45 ft/lbs I have killed rabbits at 140 yards.
Can't believe I hadn't seen this until the email I just got from UA linked me to it. Excellent video, Matt! One of your best. I will register for Utah shoot next month. Hope to see you there. My job may take me out there before June. If so, I hope to hook up with the Simmons and Justin for at least some coffee if not an afternoon shoot.
Hi Matt and Justin, have either of you guys tested or seen an FX impact slug liner setup in 25 cal? ... be interested to know how fast the 25 slugs would be pushed out of a 700mm slug lined barrel
Always worry when you handle these freshly killed rodents with your bare hands, the fleas and ticks can carry some really nasty diseases that you risk coming in contact with. Notice the old man uses pillars when he picked that last one up, you should do the same.
One day I will get an FX rifle that can utilize the slug barrels but since I recently got an Edgun Leshiy I am curious what caliber, pellet and fps his Leshiy is shooting. Ps also the regs bar setting. I know your a busy man but the info would be much appreciated.
In the eastern part of US they are called Groundhogs.....just like in the Bill Murray movie of the same name. I've seen many a barn almost collapsed by all of their burrows. I grew up in Ohio and have hunted them for many of years there. I'm in Texas now.....too old for all that cold white stuff!
Hi Matt. My fx Impact X with .25cal pellet barrel and a spare .25 cal slug barrel will be delivered after Christmas. I live in a location at least 100 to 500 meters above sea level (with a lot of beach of course: it's fun in Philippines). My intended average target is 100 meters. Can you suggest where to start withe slug tuning? Thank you.
Hi Matt. Nice video as always. If you have not a calibre restriction in SA, would you still prefer .22 slug (28gr) over .30cal pellet for long range accuracy?
How can you tell the difference between a woodchuck and a groundhog? Groundhogs have curly tails...that's what we told a guy at work...that was a fantastic day.
Great rockchuck hunting video, Matt. Thanks. I grew up in similar farming country in eastern Washington state where rockchucks present serious problems to farmers and irrigation canal banks, as well. We shot them mostly with .22 rimfire but with larger rifle and pistol calibers, too. Tried to eat one but had to take it off the stove and air the house out from the smell. Don't know if it was just that chuck that stank so bad but never tried it again. I'm looking forward to your carp bowhunting video since we also killed literally thousands of carp that way. Jess
The .22 slug will outperform a .30 pellet in almost every aspect, but the .30 pellets are so easy to get to shoot well and they cost less. So it depends on your preference.
AirArmsHuntingSA At the moment I have a mk1 wildcat .25 but interested to try something new. Not sure wether to move up to a .30 cal or buy a mk2 with a slug liner. Cost wouldn’t really matter as I only go through about 1000 pellets a year
In the Northern town of Utah, Grouse Creek. I shot Whistle Pigs from 10 in the morning until 8 that night non stop. Your video looks like the Logan area
Thanks Matt my kids are just happy and I am on the top of happiness thanks for taking that pain and Ur presious time for making such beautiful videos full of knowdlege
I just don’t understand why everyone thinks killing other living creatures for sport is fine. Fair enough if it is for food or if they are true vermin but this is too cruel
Haven’t you watched the Geico commercial where the woodchucks keep chucking wood? Watch it, THEN you’ll change your tune right quick. They’re condescending little A-holes.
Its almost always becuase the animal is a pest or its for population control. I havent watched this video fully yet but i doubt its just random killings. Edit: Yeah the birds he shot in the beginning are invasive so thats why he shot those.
Pardon me.. I can't understand.... Why is everyone giving congratulations.. instead of condemning his act... His merciless killing of animals with weapon in the hand.. he is a coward.....

very accurate guns jealous.. great video

Hello from South Carolina USA
What type of rifles are you shooting with? We have a ton of ground squirrels, and that looks like it would work grea for what we have.
Matt please talk about the three impacts regarding air consumption. 23g vs 27g vs 44g. 30 pellet.
Nasser Aldawsari You’ll get 75-80 shots with the 23gr slugs, and 40-50 shots with a .30. Not sure about the 27gr.
These air rifles would be a lot of fun to squirrel hunt with.
Always worry when you handle these freshly killed rodents with your bare hands, the fleas and ticks can carry some really nasty diseases that you risk coming in contact with. Notice the old man uses pillars when he picked that last one up, you should do the same.
Love ur videos they make my day. Hope you all are safe in SA.
I saw a video of these slugs open up pretty well on ballistic gel, do they open up the same on the game you shoot.
Love the daily uploads!
One day I will get an FX rifle that can utilize the slug barrels but since I recently got an Edgun Leshiy I am curious what caliber, pellet and fps his Leshiy is shooting. Ps also the regs bar setting. I know your a busy man but the info would be much appreciated.

Best video of all time!
whats your opinion on the 22 cal slug vs the 30. pellet? i was thinking the 22 slug was ideal for you just because your based out of south africa

What are the two pellets guns you used in the video. What was the gun that the guy that was with you shooting
Are these all with the sideshot go pro version? Looks like the video quality is better with the gopro. It is also smaller and more compact.

How would you compare the .22 slug to the .30 cal jsb? Apart from more hold over, would they both be same in wind etc? And varmint damage?

These Rockchucks are absolutely terrifying. They are well known for dragging small children away and mangling them.

They can be but most times they aren’t
Steady bro ... good rifle, good accuracy.
want to have but not buy it ... he he he eh
Greetings from Bekasi - Indonesia
What is the other pellet gun you are using in the video besides the impact
Why are u killing them ?
It's sad
They are a pest and cause damage to crops and their burrows are dangerous to horses and other livestock.

I only eat the stuff I shoot
Perhaps they can cook up the kills for the pet dogs
