Hi Mat. As a newbie to airguns, having recently bought an R10, these videos have been my go-to source for help so thanks very much! Can I ask how often you clean your barrel? Read so much conflicting info online
Thanks for the kind words. We hope it'll prove to be useful to newcomers, and to some more experienced shots who may not be getting it quite right. All the best. Mat
Thanks very much Mat. The instructions in how to zero a scope are much appreciated. And they were easy to understand. Keep the good, easy to understand videos coming.
Another great show Mat. Looking forward to your next episode. I know you prefer the accuracy and consistency of PCP's, but will you ever do an episode on hunting with springers? I think that is something many would like to see. Maybe set up on a peanut feeder and bag some squirrels. ATB, Michael
Thanks Michael. We have done a hunting video with a spring gun but it was quite a while ago. Time for another - we'll try to get it lined up before too long. All the best. Mat
Nice show Mat, I'd like to see more shows on the use and features of some of the newer springer rifles on the market. I do realise that the manufacturers like to show off their PCP's but being as 'pricey' as they are, some of us viewers don't have that kind of budget.
Going to buy a Walther Century for my 60th birthday. Back in the day when I had an air rifle or 2 I would site up with a large sheet of card. Clamp the rifle into a work mate BENCH and shoot a pellet. I would then adjust the Tele sights to zero into the hole in the card. Had good results. Now tell me why I was so so wrong. Cheers.

Hello, I started hunting way back in the early 80's, My first rifle was an ASI Sniper, bagged a few rabbits with it. Then onto a HW80, the rifle of the 80's...then onto pre charged BSA. No not much shooting now just have .25 BSA break barrel for the odd Rat and Squirrel in the Garden. Great videos.
Hello Mat Manning, and other Airgun colleagues.Thanks for your video's, I live watching them all and I learn a lot from you. A question for you I have; I have bought the Russian Ataman hunting Rifle M2 cal. 30 muzzle velocity 300 m/s and 130 Joules = 96 fpe. I use 3.25 gram pellets, 52 grains. Can I use this rifle for deer and hog hunting in countries where this is legal? Many thanks in advance for your support. Kind regards Richard
Hi Mat. Two questions I need to ask you. In February 2017 I bought my new Russian Ataman M2 Carbine PCP Cal. 30. The energy it deliveres is 130 Joules, muzzle velocity is 300 m/s. I live in The Netherlands where there is no legal limit to the power of airrifles. Mat, using JSB pellets Exact Heavy 7.62 mm 50.15 grain, or Predator Polymag 44.75 grain pellets, considering the countries where it is legal, what is the largest game one can hunt with this rifle? And what do you think of the Russian Ataman brand? (I believe it is really fantastic). Thanks a million in advance for your response. Good luck with your Airgun shows. I love your work. Greetings from The Netherlands, Richard Mulder
Hi Mat great vid as always just a question about shooting up in to tree tops, do you aim at the zero of the rifle or do you need to hold over or under )if rifle is zeroed at 40yrds? or whatever the rifle is set at)
Fine show as usual Mr. Manning. You must have done too good of a job on the Rats last year, but I bet they will make a comeback in the future. William, in the U.S.A.
You got any videos ect on the gamo black fusion(2017,2.2 calibre) ? I've just bought one a few weeks ago want to know best scope and silicon gel ect and would love to hear your views on "dieseling". Tia.
honestly mate youre gonna need an all terrain type chair then you can get around and probably shoot in a lot of places...any competent bike mechanic can make you something faaar cheaper then the rudely over priced mobility offerings...i myself have worked as a professional mtb trials riders macanic and worked in a bike workshop over a decade an now am making recument trikes after seeing how dirt cheap they are to make.i worked on a guys trikes he didnt have use of his legs his trike had a hand crank set up..i would see him everywhere going like clappers in the buslane drafting them 😆
Me and my family eat a lot of the squirrels I shoot - I reckon the meat is better than rabbit - and some go to friends who keep ferrets. All the tails go to friends who use the fibres to tie fly-fishing hooks. Cameraman Nicky Brown ties his own flies, and is always grateful for one or two tails... All the best. Mat
Matt I can't believe you feed squirrels with peanuts🙈very expensive. I feed all wildlife from my feeders with mixed seeds n feed. Nuts, maize, fruits, and seeds,,, so all can benefit. Love the wild life 😁👍❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
awww its Edd Winchester i missed you.10:30 looks like a rifle smoke cloud i don't think you shot any of those squizzers. pristine equipment all the gear no idea.
I should think a pull-through or felt cleaning pellets should do the trick. Maybe worth contacting Gunpower just in case they have a preferred method. All the best. Mat
ive got a tuned .177 hw97k its got a lower shot spread then my friends hw100 .22 and i out shoot him at longer range +50m but hes got the old 1st gen its like 13yr old rifle..hes getting a new 100kt..am not looking forward to it 😆
Bit late but... Give Hull Cartridge Company a call 01482 342756 They are the UK Weihrauch distributor... Im sure they will be able to help or put you the way of a local dealer.
Im a field target shooter. My Daystate CRX was last zero'd 5 years ago when it came back from Daystate after servicing... Good kit doesnt move, cheap budget stuff does. sorry.
If you are exploring you shouldnt have a gun, do your exploring, ground clearing and observing without the gun.. then when you take the gun you can be stealthy and because of the pathways you cleared. No wonder the residents are on edge, you sound like an elephant crunching thru the undergrowth.. Also whats the point of masking up when you fidget around like your sat on an ant hill.
A big hello from across the pond, Mat. Excellent shooting and thanks for another great video. Can't wait to see the crack down on the crows.
Hi Mat. As a newbie to airguns, having recently bought an R10, these videos have been my go-to source for help so thanks very much! Can I ask how often you clean your barrel? Read so much conflicting info online
Brilliant 'how to' section. Easy to understand instructions that would have saved me hours when I first started shooting.
Thanks for the kind words. We hope it'll prove to be useful to newcomers, and to some more experienced shots who may not be getting it quite right.
All the best. Mat
Thanks very much Mat. The instructions in how to zero a scope are much appreciated. And they were easy to understand. Keep the good, easy to understand videos coming.

Me too, BeachGunner, I enjoy my 'springer' rifles too.
Thanks Michael.
We have done a hunting video with a spring gun but it was quite a while ago. Time for another - we'll try to get it lined up before too long.
All the best. Mat
Thanks Mat. I have no doubt it will be a great episode.
Nice show Mat, I'd like to see more shows on the use and features of some of the newer springer rifles on the market.
I do realise that the manufacturers like to show off their PCP's but being as 'pricey' as they are, some of us viewers don't have that kind of budget.
Good point, Reg. We'll do our best to get some affordable springers lined up.
All the best. Mat

Awesome stuff - I’ve been binge watching your shows today
Excellent video Mat. Especially the scope zero instruction. Thank you. 👍🏼
Thanks very much. Glad you liked it.
All the best. Mat
That's a great segment on zeroing really helpful to a Newby. Great show also

Can you give a better description or even a link to the bean bag chair you are using?
Top video as always
Cant wait to see the next ........keep up the good work
Thanks very much.
All the best. Mat
Excellent episode, Mat. Thanks.
Hey Mat - I agree with BeachGunner - great vids & it'd be great to see you in action with a springer. I'm currently using a TX200 for my vids.
Yes - I'll try to get another spring gun episode filmed soon. The TX200 is a great gun.
All the best. Mat
Looking forward to it. For what it's worth I find the recoil on the TX200 sets quite a challenge for Scope Cam footage.
All the best
AG
thanks for another good video greetings from the US
Glad to hear you're enjoying our show over in the US.
All the best. Mat
Love the intro music, great video
another great vid lads 👍

All the best. Mat
Hi Mat. Nice work on the video. Very informative. More please :).

Mat how about doing a show on setting up a night vision system excellent show
Hi Mat, when you took that last squirrel up in the ash tree did you hold under or holdover for the shot???? Thanks
Fine show as usual Mr. Manning. You must have done too good of a job on the Rats last year, but I bet they will make a comeback in the future. William, in the U.S.A.
Thanks William. Yes, those rats have obviously had a serious setback...
All the best. Mat
Really helpful. Thank you 🙏
You got any videos ect on the gamo black fusion(2017,2.2 calibre) ? I've just bought one a few weeks ago want to know best scope and silicon gel ect and would love to hear your views on "dieseling". Tia.
another great vid Matt ,thanks very much.
atb brian
Thanks Brian. Glad you enjoyed it.
All the best. Mat
hi mat great video as always where do you get your target holder from ive search for on but with no luck
hi Mat i have no legs and love shooting do you know any wheelchair friendly places to shoot keep up the good work!
honestly mate youre gonna need an all terrain type chair then you can get around and probably shoot in a lot of places...any competent bike mechanic can make you something faaar cheaper then the rudely over priced mobility offerings...i myself have worked as a professional mtb trials riders macanic and worked in a bike workshop over a decade an now am making recument trikes after seeing how dirt cheap they are to make.i worked on a guys trikes he didnt have use of his legs his trike had a hand crank set up..i would see him everywhere going like clappers in the buslane drafting them 😆
Take a look to see if there are any field target clubs in your area... Most of those are reasonably chair friendly
What’s the best peanut feeder to get the squirrels and not have the birds get them all?
From watching this show.
I am wanting to buy the new Cometa Bullpup mini but did not understand the
Hi Mat, always look forward to your show.
I just wondered what make of target holder you use. I can't seem to find anything like it for sale.
Just a quick question Mat, what do you do with your squirrels?
Me and my family eat a lot of the squirrels I shoot - I reckon the meat is better than rabbit - and some go to friends who keep ferrets. All the tails go to friends who use the fibres to tie fly-fishing hooks. Cameraman Nicky Brown ties his own flies, and is always grateful for one or two tails...
All the best. Mat
Like that Daystate ,,yum yum
Hi Mat, you've probably been asked this loads of times before but, what sort of pellet do you use/recommend for hunting use? Cheers, Rob.
Rob Steptoe always go for the diablo style mate. jsp exact, air arms diablo. you really cant beat them.
Matt I can't believe you feed squirrels with peanuts🙈very expensive. I feed all wildlife from my feeders with mixed seeds n feed. Nuts, maize, fruits, and seeds,,, so all can benefit. Love the wild life 😁👍❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hi mat another good vid :-)
is that your FAC .177 rifle? is that your goto gun?
keep up the good work
steve
Hi Steve. The Mk4 is .22 - doing just under 30ft/lb. It's a gun I've been using for a long time and have a lot of faith in.
All the best. Mat
Hi, what make is the scope that's on the gun your doing the zero with?
Good shooting 👍🐿️🐿️
Question?? I want to get into shooting.
How do I get started.
What is the best beginner rifle.
Is there any videos or tips to get me started
Thanks
My best advice is .... Before you buy anything... Visit or Join your local airgun club
Does anybody know the scope that was fitted to the air rifle in the zeroing demonstration at the end of the video? Thanks
What do you do with the squirrels?
Everyone give paul james a round of applause
What are you using .177 or .22 please.
awww its Edd Winchester i missed you.10:30 looks like a rifle smoke cloud i don't think you shot any of those squizzers. pristine equipment all the gear no idea.
what should a person do to zero a scope on a break barrel air rile?
Hi mat I’m new to lair rifles could you tell me what this hold over or under means please from Barry
nice, great video
Thanks.
All the best. Mat
great show matt could you tell us where you bought your hat
Thanks Matthew.
Afraid the hat is no longer available. Quiet Wear do a similar one which is reversible.
All the best. Mat
Hey Matt another great video, what brand is that sling you use?
I know it sounds silly but what is the peaked hat called? Or where can I purchase one from. Thanks
Afraid it is no longer available. Quiet Wear produce something similar which is reversible.
All the best. Mat
Hi Mat, I have a Gunpower .22 rifle, can you explain best way to clean thd barrel?
I should think a pull-through or felt cleaning pellets should do the trick. Maybe worth contacting Gunpower just in case they have a preferred method.
All the best. Mat
What pellets do you use?
hi mat im looking to buy my first pcp air rifle for rabit and posum hunting i have a budget of $750 can you point me in the right direction thanks.

Why shoot stuff you won’t be eating?
Deadliest serial killer of all time 😭😭😭🤛🏽
số 1 ok ok
Why do you stick with the guy with the constipated voice for the airguns show commentary ??
If you are exploring you shouldnt have a gun, do your exploring, ground clearing and observing without the gun.. then when you take the gun you can be stealthy and because of the pathways you cleared.
No wonder the residents are on edge, you sound like an elephant crunching thru the undergrowth.. Also whats the point of masking up when you fidget around like your sat on an ant hill.
Why you are killing squirrels 🐿. Innocent animals and brutal killing 😭😭😭. Hate you 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
