Love seeing the HW97, takes practise and patience to be "rat head" accurate with a powerful springer! Beautifully made guns. Thanks again for another great video, I'm jealous, sat here with a laptop in my hand instead of an air rifle. Jack looked like he was enjoying the scents floating in the air, too.Thank You sir!
Excellent as always, and you deserve all the subs you have and more IMO. l' Jack is just doing what old dogs do LOL. I was talking to my neighbor last night. He has a black lab that looks and is built just about identical to Jack. He is now a little over 10 years old. he is a duck hunting dog, and while he still loves to play fetch, he has slowed and his interests seem to be of a different sort than a few years back. He's a great dog like Jack. They earned their golden years.👍👍
It is great to see Jack back out with you again. Seeing the springer in action is great, an old guy like myself didn't have any PCP or night vision back in the day, though I would have loved it. Cheers from Texas. Will be seeing you on the next video.
Congrats on 40k Simon and here’s to the next 40k,got to admit pal the sound says it all good old springers got to love em.Great to see Jack back where he belongs by his doggy dads side!!All the very best 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
Great video Simon and nice to see a springer being used. Lovely to see Jack out and about again and congratulations on the 40k subs, well deserved in my opinion 👍
Nice to see your mate back in the saddle. This one reminded me of my days as a boy shooting rats in my gramps barn with a Daisy lever action 😄 There was something satisfying about stalking and shooting rats. I’ve enjoyed airguns ever since, and the new PCPs are a blast. You can do so much with them now. Congrats on reaching 40k 🍻
I'm amazed how fat these rats are, nice shooting and far more humaine Vs rat killer. Glad to see ad's on the video. Maybe TH-cam has changed, not long ago content like this gets struck out.
Awesome you can pull out a rifle from 15 years ago and lay those rats out right smartly!! Well done you are one heck of a marksman and well ole' Jack, just can't beat the company of a good dog! Have a great weekend Simon!
First congratulations on the successes of your channel hope you you reach 100K soon…..second, outstanding day ratting with the springer…..I really liked it……good luck and thanks for your hard work
Brilliant video 👍 this brought back memories of my old hw97k that I wished I'd of never sold.Fantastic peace of kit back in the day so glad to see it's still up there doing well
Always in joining a springer video! This gun hits at 70 yard with no issues! Weihrauch are incredible high quality spring air rifles! Thanks for sharing a pleasure to watch! Good shooting!
CONGRATULATIONS on reaching 40,000 subscriber's. Brilliant to see you mark the occasion with two loyal old friends of yours, Jack and the Springer. 👍😷👍
Its good that you include the misses, Si. It makes us realise that nobody is perfect 100% of the time! I miss too! Keep up these great vids, and congrats on 40K, well deserved. cheers, Gary.
Ahhh Simon. So lovely to see your connection with your best mate. Be very difficult when time calls time. I’ve been there and that rip your heart out moment never leaves you.
Most of use watching are not as good as we wance was but we are as good as we can be HATS OFF TO GOOD OLD JACK ❤💯🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 FANTASTIC VIDEOS KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK 👍
Yet another cracking video, and 40k subscribers, that's a result in it's self. Good old Jack,, not a care in the world,, deserves nothing more at his age❤ 👍👍👍
Congrats on the subs, well earned and well deserved. Always thing's to learn from your uploads, and always good to see your wing man. Also, was nice to hear the twang of the old springer, still does the job!. Looking forward to next upload 😀
Congratulations on reaching 40,000 subscribers Simon 👏. The HW 97 springer is performing excellent in your hands an head shot's never get old and you are assured of a dead rat 🐀 everytime. Great seeing you and Jack out together 😊 . Cheers brother
I decided to place an order for an HW 97K in 22 caliber I'm pretty sure that I'm going to like it a lot better than my Benjamin NP trail 177 having to break the barrel makes it shift my aim point all the time. Cheers Simon @simon6ppc246
Great to see you and Jack again , please take him with you as much as you can I guarantee that he would rather be out with you than at home just laying around . My shorthair quail hunted with me till she was 14 or 15 , she would have been 17 next month . I miss her everyday !!! Just 9 weeks till coyote hunting , come on October . Stay well and strong my friend !
Enjoyed that, thanks. Oh to have a nice steady permission like that. I've got really desperate in my garden now, got a little mouse under my bird feeder, from about 8m. It was a mess! Nice to see Jack, it's amazing how they perk up in the warmer weather. Big Steve in soggy, wet cool Bridlington.
Day light ratting is all I used to do at the transfer station, aka city dump. But, back then we used open sight 22 rifles. Plus, we didn't have a spotter like you have. Jack is back.👍
Brilliant, brings back memories, nice to see someone shooting accurately off sticks and not banging on about artillery hold like some Utube experts do. Awesome as always, 40k well deserved.
Ive watched nearly all your brilliant videos Simon...And at last a springer in action....All your rifles are the best but very expensive for mr average like myself but you have shown us just how potent a springer can be....Jack is in a wonderful world of his own at times and so am I at 70 lol.....
Excellent video bro. I'm just tuning a 97k. Was on 28 fp. Bringing it down to it's original 12fp. You've got me going on it now. Nice to see the old fella. Keep up the great work.
Well done, yet again. You're very lucky to be owned by Jack! And your excellent shooting and professional production doesn't make him any less the star of your adventures in pest control.🤗
Love weihrauch rifles. Had about a dozen different models over the years and never had a bad one. Solid, reliable, accurate guns. Great shooting as always buddy.
Top draw again, took me back to using my old bsa lightning. And you have inspired me to buy a springer again. Well earned on those subs lad. Also don’t forget your bike😂😂😂
Great to see the 97k in action Simon , great rifle , good to see old Jack out with you even if he's "away with the fairies" congratulations on your sub's number, be 100k before you know it 😊
Congratulations on hitting the 40k subs, 50k will not be to far away I hope. Good to see Jack out. Just ordered BSA R12 in fac . Watching your videos has motivated me to get back in to the smaller vermin and Corvid control around the farm again, my old BSA meteor sadly not as capable as it once was, I know the feeling 😂
@@simon6ppc246 yep can’t wait to get it, hopefully it’ll be in next week, stock in black pepper so should look amazing, got schmit bender off my 223 to go on it. Taken my time to look and try one or two and always came back to the BSA. Bolt action also 👍
Always a cracking watch mate, top notch shooting and always sooo good to se Jack with ya, bless him, Cheers mate and congrats on the subs, well deserved 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
@@simon6ppc246 you got a better memory than me mate , takes me all me time to remember what i was doing yesterday lol, and heres to many more subs, you deserve them mate cheers
Good to see Jack again despite his advancing age. He is with his master doing what he likes best. Even though he has a gray moustache, he goes out and follows along. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
As always Simon, another great video. The last springer I owned was a Weihrauch but I can't remember the model number. I gave it to my eldest daughter's partner Peter and replaced it with a Theoben Taunus gas ram rifle, that tells you how long ago it was, I do still have it. Peter who was with my daughter for twenty years died suddenly in the bathroom at their home in 2013. It was an extremely stressful time for our family. My first air rifle as a boy I believe was an Original which I kept hidden from my father in the shed. I later sold it to another boy and got into trouble over it. I had to go to court because I had sold it to the boy who was by law too young to own an air rifle. I was fined by the court.
Blooming heck ye i too hid my first air rifle in a old barn when i was around 14 and virtually every night after school i would go out with it shooting and my mother didn't know as she just hated guns and the thought of me shooting one was like to dangerous lol, then years down the line i have virtually lived and breathed it every day of my life lol. And ye i am sorry to hear about your son in law it must have been terrible my friend.
@@simon6ppc246 I too lived and breathed shooting Simon, after the first air guns (I had one or two pistols as well) I had a couple of 12 bore shotguns but gave them up at some stage and went back to air rifles. Do you remember an air rifle hunter named John Darling? he wrote books and articles in the airgun magazines. He was born in 1946 the same year as me but sadly died of cancer in 2004. I was in WH. Smith's on one occasion and picked up an airgun magazine and read one of his articles about rabbit hunting with air rifles, soon after that I bought the Weihrauch plus a metal knock down rabbit which had a long cord attached for pulling the Rabbit back up again. I practiced and practiced on that metal rabbit until I could knock it over almost every time and then went Hunting. I bagged more rabbits with the air rifle than with the shotguns simply because air rifles don't have a loud bang. After giving Peter the Weihrauch and buying the Theoben Taunus I progressed to PCP air rifles. I still own three but haven't been hunting for possibly eight years. I own a Falcon, I can't remember the model number, a BSA Superten and a Theoben Rapid 17. My main two shoots were adjoining farms of 660 acres and 200 acres on very hilly countryside in East Sussex but as I got older it became harder going so I didn't go as often. Then from October 2017 until March 2020 I was dealing with cancer, I had five operations in three different hospitals during that period but at this moment in time I'm a cancer survivor.
Hi Simon :)) Congrats with 40 + subs !!! I think Jack obviously had something to do with it !! I have for 10 years now a Diana super 30, and it also makes the job as new... Nice to see you both on job ;))

This brought back some memories for me as a shooter in the 80's. I hade a Webley Tracker .22 with the gas ram instead of the spring. Good times!
Ye i remember the Tracker with its very small barrel i can see it now baldy

Congratulations on 40k subs. Good shooting again Simon 👍👍 I won't mention anything about the last one 🤣
