I'm fairly new to the world of air guns. I've had cheap Crosman pumps since I was a kid. About 3 years ago I bought my first break barrel, a Benjamin. However Last Christmas I bought myself a Walther lgu varmint, and it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I shoot in my backyard at 20 yards, and it is pellet on pellet accurate. Now I got to get a PCP... And I'm thinking Umarex Gauntlet in 22. Keep up the good vids, great work from America.
Awesome work with the hunt. We use the same method of field dressing for mourning doves here in the states. They're extremely delicious wrapped in bacon, and grilled over charcoal. Cheers, y'all. A video well done.
Great vid matt .. and young andy was excellent both in being patient and quality of his shooting .. the brocock certainly is a fantastic rifle , got mine with carbon hi-lite bottle , slapped a small hugget belisha ( obviously spelt wrong ) and a optisan evx 10 x 44I scope , it one of my favourites too shoot , not pellet fussy (.177) the only slight problems are that the shroud has a rough texture , NOT a problem in itself but when you touch it , it kind shaves skin of your fingers ( probably not the best subscription ) leaving a dusty appearance .. mind you , its easily wiped off with a either a damp lint free cloth .. or a smidgen of balistol on the aforementioned cloth .. the trigger is slightly heavy on the second stage ( had it adjusted at shop , as its under warranty ) great now . Also there is a slight " clunk " when the trigger is deployed , this is the hammer apparently ..not a real problem ... all in all its one of my favourite rifles ..accurate ( very ) stylish , light , and dare I say " sexy " .. I dont work for brocock , but all I can say ..if you have a anchoring too buy a new / another or first pcp .. trust me ..you wont go wrong with the bantam sniper hr ... you MIGHT even pull some crumpet in the process ..it is that good Super show matt .. was expecting too see you at weston park .. alas , I didnt see anyone from youtube channels there ... not too worry , I recon there will be a few at the NEC next feb ...
Hi Mark. I really like the Sniper HR, and I know exactly what you mean about the finish of the shroud. Sorry to miss you at the Midland. I was there on the Saturday, and intend to be at the BSS in Feb. All the best. Mat
Another great installment Mat with the Bantam at the end, Andy done well with the LGU on the grey stuff though I wish he would call a hide a hide this is not the USA but we forgive him as the force is strong in him :) keep at it Mat. atb phil.
Being able to turn the power down is handy for close range rat shooting, in sub 12 ft/lbs a 2 stage setting would probably suffice, but it's a rifle designed for an international market so economies of scale apply, and it keeps costs down just having the one type of part made for the venturi restrictor that's fitted.
I just thought of a quick question regarding the Walther lgu... And other Spring Guns I guess. How long of a period of time is it considered safe to have your Spring Gun cocked and ready to shoot? I'm always afraid to leave it cocked more than 10 or 15 minutes for fear of hurting my spring... Anyone who knows the answer to this I'd be really happy to hear from them...
casualobserver77 ... there was a thread on gateway to Airguns not too long ago about leaving Springers cocked for periods of time. Dude left a Springer cocked for 48 hours and lost 8% of his velocity. The general consensus from the thread is that a few hours cocked for hinting won’t hurt the spring
Andy wheres the face veil from? Ive been after something similar for a while. Not necessarily that design but something tighter than a traditional mesh veil
May I ask if this LGU is standard? I want one for bunnies and birds up to 30 or so metres but worried it may not be powerful enough in .177? Some say they are target rifles only?
I am a Walther LGU owner. When hunting, how long would you say is acceptable to keep the rifle cocked and loaded, before you should worry about spring compression problems? Many thanks.
i dont go past 15 minutes never been told this as fact but as youve said leaving a rifle cocked too long must do somethibg to the spring. same for my bows de string after use. never leave to long strung, different from the pistol crossbow mind
Please start doing honest reviews on the guns/kit you guys show. You always give amazing feedback on everything, even if the product is crap. We all know you guys get paid to give good reviews on products and I guess its the same in the magazines. That's why lots of people prefer watching the average Joe who isn't paid or endorsed by the company like you guys are, they will give real world feedback and honesty. It's a shame everyone sells out just to make money these days.
Hi Perran, Our reviews are all genuine and carried out over several days of testing. Most people can get hold of the equipment we review and would soon tell us, and no doubt make it very public, if they disagreed with out evaluation of the the product. Looking at the comments here, viewers certainly seem to be in agreement with the review of the Brocock Bantam Sniper HR. We wouldn't recommend anything that we wouldn't use ourselves, and have sent back plenty of kit that we don't think is up to scratch. Best wishes. Mat
Cara essa carabina Walther LGU spring é muito linda, ela é tão linda que não deveria ser spring era pra ser uma pcp aí ia ser, realmente uma máquina mais ela é muito bonita e é o meu sonho de consumo essa é uma carabina top.
it's so depressing and Embarrassing we're only allowed these sort of rifles in our country....god i wish i was born in america (not the wimpy parts that don't allow guns).... well good video anyway....keep up the great work.
dont they teach gun safety in the UK? Crossing a fence with your rifle ... keep seeing laxed safety practices -- yeah its an airgun, get it, but practice common sense cross fencings as f it were a real rifle as a lot of young folks will pick up the habit correctly.
not another better than a weihrauch copy 😂😂😂😂 eeee come on guys ! its the barrels on weihrauch guns that are legendary .. lothar walther cant match them, , ,its not the tune or design of the rifle , which many have copied humpteen times ,
Nice to see another good springer rifle featured in the hunt. I'd love to see more of this underlever.
Thanks to Andy and you too Mat for a good show.
Thanks Reg. We'll try to bring you more of the LGU.
All the best. Mat
Watching airguns video is like sitting on a sofa with a book and whiskey, :D
Didn't expect you to rip a pigeon apart. I learned something today.
I'm fairly new to the world of air guns.

Keep up the good vids, great work from America.
Great video and content, thank you all, Cheers
Thanks very much.

Good job Andy! Always enjoys your videos!
Awesome work with the hunt. We use the same method of field dressing for mourning doves here in the states. They're extremely delicious wrapped in bacon, and grilled over charcoal. Cheers, y'all. A video well done.
Just started posting my own air gun hunting videos largely inspired by your work.
Delighted to hear we inspired you. Will take a look.
Nice work Andy, top tip with the pigion, thanks, Keep up the good work. Great support Matt👍
awesome tip on debreasting the pigeon! Never seen that before so thank you! Definitely searching for your one on field dressing a rabbit!!
Another great episode. Really enjoyed Andy's " keeping it real" hunting segment.
Great video! Had it not been mentioned that the audio was off I would never have guessed the shot was dubbed in. Well done!
That Brocock is absolutely gorgeous! I know my next purchase!!
It's a really nice gun. I'm thinking about getting one for a night vision setup.
All the best. Mat
great stuff as always guys
Thanks. Much appreciated.
Mat
another great show, especially liked the Brocock review
Thanks very much.
All the best. Mat
'Laser accurate' That's good enough for me. Thanks
Nice video please keep on with this good work
Thank you. We'll keep them coming.
Best wishes. Mat

Good video, just ordered a Walther LGU in 23 jule👍

Is there any barrel droop in Walther LGU from factory or its barrel is straight like a PCP
This guy says welcome tothe airgun show the same way in every video, with the same facial expressions and everything hahahahaha
Loving watching your videos Andy your a cracking shot . What make is your pellet pouch?
The Brocock Orion 6. Still the best air pistol I ever used.
Would love to see a review on the LGU
Review accuracy walther lgu please
Is that one of the best spring guns
*The using .177 or .22 wich calibre 4.5mm or 5.5mm 🤔 ? =*
.177
Andy wheres the face veil from? Ive been after something similar for a while. Not necessarily that design but something tighter than a traditional mesh veil
May I ask if this LGU is standard? I want one for bunnies and birds up to 30 or so metres but worried it may not be powerful enough in .177? Some say they are target rifles only?
What make and were did that jacket you had on at the end of the video come from please, great video 👍
Hi Carl.
That's the Ridgeline Pro Hunt in Prey Eyes camo. Really nice jacket.
All the best. Mat
Thanks very much, will be getting one of those great video as always 👍
Walther LGU is it a good rifle, LGU or wiehrauch hw97 which one is better.
I am a Walther LGU owner.
When hunting, how long would you say is acceptable to keep the rifle cocked and loaded, before you should worry about spring compression problems?
Many thanks.
i dont go past 15 minutes never been told this as fact but as youve said leaving a rifle cocked too long must do somethibg to the spring. same for my bows de string after use. never leave to long strung, different from the pistol crossbow mind
Not lucky sessions, but very nice video. Were you shooting .177 or .22?
Thanks!
Do you use first focal?
what is that coat mat looks good ?
It's the Ridgeline Pro Hunt in Prey Eyes Camo. I really like it - nice and long.
Cheers. Mat

British made air gun apart from the reg an barrel.
Birds fly over open field and see no birds on ground feeding so they think something is up.Sounds like a “Far Side”Cartoon.
Cara essa carabina Walther
LGU spring é muito linda, ela é tão linda que não deveria ser spring era pra ser uma pcp aí ia ser, realmente uma máquina mais ela é muito bonita e é o meu sonho de consumo essa é uma carabina top.
I like the look of the bantam but that shroud is just cosmetic again
It's a very nice gun but certainly needs a silencer add to make it whisper-quiet.
All the best. Mat
that rabbit must learned how to climb trees
I've never seen a pigeon peeled before
what scope is that please?
Is .177, whats pellets?
😉👍🏻
it's so depressing and Embarrassing we're only allowed these sort of rifles in our country....god i wish i was born in america (not the wimpy parts that don't allow guns).... well good video anyway....keep up the great work.
Hey m8 you look alot like me . . .
It's true...separated at birth much?

not another better than a weihrauch copy 😂😂😂😂 eeee come on guys ! its the barrels on weihrauch guns that are legendary .. lothar walther cant match them, , ,its not the tune or design of the rifle , which many have copied humpteen times ,
Why do you keep subjecting us to Andy Boring....????
Has about as much personality as 1 of them dead pidgeons!
