Enjoyed as usual, thanks Simon. I had a good little shoot last week from the comfort of my sittingroom. First one on Thursday, t'wife said there was a rat under the bird feeder. Had to go out to mi garden bar to get mi gun and sticks, as rat took refuge in our hedgehog house. Got sat on settee arm with mi sticks and patio doors open, not seven yards off target. It suck head out, and that was number one. Then Friday, same scenario. Two under bird feeder, and one off table. Funny thing was, t'wife said she wasn't stopping to watch, so went to kitchen. When I shot second it twitched about six foot across the patio. I heard this shout, "It's still alive!" She was only watching back garden CCTV on her phone. I ask you!
Thanks for taking us with you on another session, Simon. In all fairness, it looked to me like the rats you missed moved slightly as you were making the shot, so they may have made the lucky dodge. Cheers from Texas.
I also noted that the cat trying to get through the screen behind you, looked like one of those monsters you see behind characters in a cheap horror movie, it made me laugh.@@simon6ppc246
Smashing n challenging shots Simon! Getting 60-70 shots from one air load is amazing. I had a chuckle about your hay bails. The wife n I visited Iceland and she would point out the different colored marshmallows (hay bails) they had in the field.
Aaaaahh Theoben.....I remember drooling over their rifles in Airgun World and AirGunner in the 80's....always wanted one, amongst loads of air rifles if I'm honest. There's been some real quality viewing today with the Service at the Cenotaph for Remembrance Sunday and your vid has been a great addition to the quality viewing. Best wishes mate and thank you again for sharing the footage.
@simon6ppc246 I wish I could mate I don't know how to do it ie transfer it over just got the c50 to im a bloody old fart now I need showing mate pointless telling me I'm as thick as custard 🤣🤣
@@neilremy8861 Ya know Neil not to long ago i didn't know how to even turn on a laptop but to be fair i kind of enjoyed learning how to then editing videos i kind of enjoyed that to as its like another sport keep trying to get the next one better than the last lol.
Dang Brother, as usual, nice shootin'. I was really surprised with that second miss; it looked spot on to me when you sent the rounds down range. Anyway, thanks for the content, I really appreciate you.
Thanks for what you do. I have watched several "pest control" videos, from several different youtubers but, your channel is the ONLY one I keep going back to. Ooh Rah!@@simon6ppc246
Great envy for our beautiful landscape, Simon. I live about 28 miles away from Ely Cathedral, and I can see it without binoculars from my ground-floor window....
Nice to see the old Rapid7 out again Si, still dose the job well after all those years, which reminds me i must make more of an effort and use my Rapid 7 more this winter season. Great video as always 👍🏻
Thanks for the video Simon another quality production. One rat attempting a bit of ratstroke at 9.50 I believe. I just serviced my Rapid too though sadly under used since my m3. There's a Hik micro thermal scope with optical zoom coming out.
The Grandad of the modern PCP. Mate of mine had one of the first in the mid nineties. Used it on the Corn stubble. It was one hole all day, and that's before the huge choice of pellets we have now. The 7 was a game changer, and still as good as anything today. I had a Fenman at the time. Nice rifle, good video.
Hi Simon, Thank you for another great video and for showing us your beautiful Theoben air rifle. I remember when they first came out. To me, they looked like a fantastic invention, and even then, so pleased they were two British gentlemen from Cambridge who invented them. I had, by today's standards a strict upbringing, and although my late dearly loved father was a shooter, I was never involved. I sometimes wonder if I should have been more assertive and followed my instincts. However, in those days, if your parents told that, you weren't to do something,that you didn't do it. No maybes or might do's, it was a straight red. Far different to today's world. I've just recently purchased a legal limit 12ftlb, Theoben Rapid MK 2 air rifle in .22 calibre, which I'm thrilled about but haven't used much. I never in my lifetime thought I'd be lucky enough to own one.I'm used to connecting a hose to the fill port on my air rifles. The Theoben is a little different, where the buddy bottle has to be detached, filled, and then replaced.I've seen an attachment where it fits in between the air rifle and buddy bottle. It has a fill port and gauge. To a novice like me, this looks fantastic as the bottle won't need to be detached to fill, and the gauge will read how much air remains in the buddy bottle. Do you think this is a good idea in your experience? Maybe it's neither here nor there. If you have any advice, Simon, I would be very grateful for your opinion. Thank you. Best wishes, Ian.
Thanks Ian and ye mine actually has the quick fill fitted but it started leaking only last week so i have took it off for now until i get a new o ring for the fill port, and ye the Rapids in my eyes are sent from the Gods they shoot so well because this one of mine really is a tack driver.
@simon6ppc246 Hi Simon, Thank you for your reply. As an experienced Theoben user, would you stay with the add-on gauge, use it and put up with 'o' ring failure every now and then? Obviously, the add-on unit incorporates more joints that require seals and more chance of leakages. However, it saves the rigmarole of keep having to detach the buddy bottle every time a fill is required. Thank you, Ian.
@@ianwoods1384Hi Ian, I have a RAW quick fill ang gauge on my Theoben MFR, it has proven very reliable as the MFR uses a different system to the Rapids. Dr Bob also does a quick fill and gauge conversion. The RAW one though you can remove the bottle without removing the whole unit. Hope this helps. 👍🏻
You keep on giving us great entertainment Simon, things are picking up here too been out a few times now but I’m catching forever in the fenn traps I have set in boxes that I have dotted around including my back garden, got one the other morning and it was huge a proper big buck that’s obviously been around for a while, definitely one you wouldn’t want running up your leg! 19 inches from nose to tail and a body as big as a house brick and a set of plumbs like marbles. Using left over pizza tied on with garden twine that way they have to tug at it and it’s lights out or the good old peanut butter but the flipping mice soon clean that up leaving the traps bare and unsprung. How’s the old boy doing keeping warm in front of that fire, best spot to be!
Good as gold pal 👍 I can remember when Theobold & Taylor released the Scirocco back in the day. I've been saving for one since then 😅 Ah well back to t' Th'Airsporter lad 😅👍
Hi Simon watch all your vids it's like home from home I've got a wolverine r like you and I have rapids a .177 and .22 my .177 is like yours the most accurate gun I've had in 30 odd years of airgunhunting.
@@simon6ppc246 hi Simon I’ve never done any shooting but watching your channel is very relaxing, with the music and your calm informative manner, care for wildlife. Something that always amazes me is when you’ve taken a shot then you zoom out the actual distance away is unbelievable at times, and of course the star, take care John
Hello again Simon! Quick question, since you raised the issue; do you think this is your most accurate rifle BECAUSE it is a FAC, or is that just a seperate thing for increased impact? Have you shot an R7 .22 sub-12 foot for example, to compare? I'm just trying to decide if the added power is worth it (flattening the trajectory etc) or whether you were just very lucky with this particular gun/barrel! 👍🏻
@simon6ppc246 Thank you! From what I've seen you can probably make a corkscrew shoot accurately, but at least I know what my next air gun is likely to be! 🤣 (Was already very drawn to an FAC-BRK Ghost, just to be able to swap barrels and calibres, and have it in a variety of configurations; maybe a high-power .22 is all I need)
Morning Simon, my God, did you say 35 years ago for that Theoben ? Back then they were the must haves of air rifles. Correct me if I’m wrong, but yours looks like it has a custom stock on it, made from walnut? Beautiful piece. Back then you wouldn’t have seen much change from around £800 I’d imagine. Nonetheless back then it was cutting edge. It would have been shoulders above the likes of the Air Arms… “Rat Juice “? Must remember that one. Might rename a cocktail after it.😮😅😂. Good luck and as ever God bless. R.
I do it because believe it or not but i respect wildlife and believe every thing should be in the right place in the right time in the right numbers and if not that is were pest control comes in.
Great air rifle always wanted one and brought one when I was 17 after years of saving! I am now 40 and it's never missed a beat. Mine is sub 12 though and always fancied a FAC one for abit. What moderator have you got on it?
Simon, great gun and shooting, so sharp.If you buy a rifle 26yrs ago as you state and it is so many ft lbs, legal at the time. as the years go by and the ft lbs is lowered how do you stand with the gun? Do yo have to get the ft lbs lowered to meet modern day requirements or leave the gun as is? Thanks
Great video Simon 😇 ,, it looks like you don't always need new in life ,, it looks like old is just as good ...... Can l ask Simon do you use a standard 12 lbs air gun ,, or do you have your air guns modified to get extra lbs of power for your guns ,, to may be get more distance and power for your air guns !??! ....... I live in the country in the east of England and a few of my friends l know get there air guns modified and get a licence to do so ,, so they can get a little bit more distance and power from there air guns ,, a few are farmers them selves or work on farms ......... Do you think its a good idea simon or not needed to get air guns modified for more power !?!? 🤔️........ Great video Simon 😇 ,, have a good week end ... Keep safe....... Glen
The 223 is a standard 8 twist 24 inch factory Sako barrel Charles i did try neck turning the brass once for better accuracy but it made no difference pal.
@@simon6ppc246 To make sure I am understanding you, you were once necking turning for the 223 Sako rifle you are shooting now, correct? Since this is a factory Sako barrel, then it has a standard .253” neck, correct?

Either YT itself is doing this, or someone that watched your channel keeps reporting my posts on your videos and having them taken down. Not sure at all why as they aren't breaking any YT rules.

Ye may be Colin you could be right
Great vid again simon, what pellets, are you using in the rapid?
16 AA's pal
Nice change to see an old gun rather than the constant fx marketing vids!
Which NV do you prefer though, Hik or Pulsar c50?
To be fair they are on a par and even now i can't decide but for close up ratting i do prefer the Alpex
SPOT ON!!!! Stay safe.

Right Simon, I'm full of cold and I might be seeing things but, what the #### was that at 4;10 and 6;12 !?!? . Great shooting 😉👍🏴

Either YT itself is doing this, or someone that watched your channel keeps reporting my posts on your videos and having them taken down. Not sure at all why as they aren't breaking any YT rules.
