Finally made it out to the farm to shoot some rats with all the snow and rain gone. Farmer had texted me and asked me to come by to take out some of the rats that are flooding the area. My last visit was two months ago, and they multiplied since.
I brought along my Daystate Regal XL because my HW100 designated rat gun has a slow leak in the cylinder. Good thing I did because my HW100 was struggling to keep up with lost of air/power causing me to miss low with some of my shots. Regal was paired with my Pard007S clip on scope and it was performing flawlessly hitting 7 of 7 rats. I had to guess the distances because the night vision unit does not have a laser range finder. Good thing I am familiar with some of the locations.
A total of 28 fat rats and 3 starlings were shot with both guns. It was a good night.
I have recently acquired a Snowpeak M60B which I am converting it to my rat gun. I have moved the Pard008 LRF scope onto this rifle and I had a chance to test and shoot this gun yesterday. Luckily out of the 4 types of pellets I tested, the Hades 16gr grouped the best. I was able to shoot a 5 shots group of 3/4" out to 50 yards in the wind. Video to follow.
Enjoy this one. Cheers.
