Airgun Extra | Squirrel shooting with DNT Thermnight | FX King airgun review

[@Brendan-s7y]

good video Rich. thermal hasn't changed since it came out. you still get what you pay for. even tho it maybe a budget scope i'd like to see how it performs in poor conditions.

[@davidbrennan869]

Good video,, nice to see a budget rifle being used 👍🤠

The squirrel feeders are made by Keith's High Seats Ltd. Not cheap, but a quality product.

[@TheMcpvideo]

I definitely want one of those scope's 👍

[@Hedders-ep2ou]

Good vid Richard and great kit 👍 just one thing your sounds like a bag of crisps, good job the squirrels are 30 mts away! Hedley

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

I'd have killed for a bag of crisps! Yes, you're right. Not sure what was going on sound wise. It picks up every rustle of my jacket, but even so, it wasn't great. I hope it didn't spoil the video for you.

[@airriflehunter87]

Cracking video as always

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

Thanks very much.

[@DeanPike-g1k]

John the Brinkworth smithy does the feeders, cheaper as well. I've got 8 of them bomb proof

[@nbowie698]

Mine rusted badly over one winter and the welded on attachments to hold it on a tree fell off. Wouldn't buy again.

[@DeanPike-g1k]

@@nbowie698 Mine are spot on, I'm up to see him next week for some rat bait stations

[@AC-kg8vy]

Great video as always. What hide is used in Richard’s Squirrel hunt?

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

Thanks very much. I got them from a company called Costway. A quick search should get you there...

[@chopperhehehe]

Nice stuff id like to see some info on richards gun . It looked as pricey as the fx lol good show nice bit of pest control. Fae Richard liked your set up 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙂✌️

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

You'll be pleased to know the Kral Empire X can be bought for just over £500. Thanks for watching!

[@Thinkforyourself932]

Please can you tell me Where did you get the hide from.

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

They are made by a company called Costway. I'd post a link but I think KZbin would blow up. A quick search will get you there though. Thanks for watching.

[@mickypamei6629]

I have a question...might be a stupid one...@ 50 or 100 mts using any break barrel with a standard open sight. How high is 1 mill from the front sight post.

[@migsy2728]

Does it double load

[@martinsmith4365]

great vid but what hide are u using and where to buy?

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

Thanks very much. I got them from a company called Costway. A quick search should get you there...

[@ryangardener242]

Richard what do you do with all your shot squirrels?

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

Hi Ryan. They go to a local falconry centre.

[@ryangardener242]

Perfect that's what I use mine for too !

[@colincairney9527]

Loved it

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

Thanks very much for watching.

[@MrMattw975]

Hi Rich & Matt, another great video. I have noticed that neither of you have contributed to the January 2025 Airgun World magazine. Is this a permanent parting of the journalistic ways?

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

Hi. Yes, that's right. We now write for Airgun Extra - both the website and KZbin channel.

[@adrianmorris]

Nice video guys, Rich, where did you get the rifle case from please?

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

Thanks Adrian. The one in the video is from Buffalo River. I've just a new bag from Jack Pyke which is really good though. Thanks for watching.

[@adrianmorris]

Is that the buffalo river dominator?

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

@@adrianmorris Honestly Adrian, I'm not sure. I've had it years. I know there are two sizes - this is the 52 inch (?) version. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

[@crazycressy7986]

Richard, off topic a bit ,but do you ever have battery problems with your Ford Ranger ? Had 4 batteries in my Wildtrak in about 6 years

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

I've been through a couple in the last three years. I've always put it down to the fact that it spends most of its time creeping around the farm at three or four mph and rarely does a long trip...

[@crazycressy7986]

@RichardSaunders-w9b thanks Richard, I only do 6 miles a day in mine ,but apparently, you can change the alternator in forscan from being a smart alternator that only gives 70% charge ,to giving out 100% charge, i also had 4 negative wires for my spot lights and dash cam connected to my negative battery terminal and not to body earth ground ,disconnected them tonight and will do another drain reading in the morning, don't want to get rid of the Ranger as I also use it for metal detecting

[@crazycressy7986]

@@RichardSaunders-w9b just found out that your cigarette lighter socket will stay live for 75 minutes after you switch off and 60 min for the USB socket, I had my dash cam plugged in ,so now I will have to remove it and put it back in while I use the truck ,you can change this with forscan

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

@@crazycressy7986 Interesting. I think the real issue is lots of short trips and not giving the battery a chance to properly re-charge. My truck has gone into limp home mode once or twice as well. Each time the fault has been down to a sensor that has been coked up - again because I don't go on long enough runs often enough.

[@crazycressy7986]

@RichardSaunders-w9b also they are fitted with smart alternators ,they will only charge the battery to 75% ,something to do with saving the life of your battery, but you can make them charge 100% by unplugging the black socket on the negative battery post ,but this then will give you alternator fault light on your dash ,or you can change it through forscan

Aiwa 😘💕👍🎄

[@BANSAI578]

ThermNight thermal reduce the size of target too, then i don't like this scope.

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

The thermal mode has a 3-12x magnification. The default is 3x, which I prefer as it gives the widest field of view and sharpest image for spotting. If you get the chance to look through one you should really give it a try. Don't just take my word for it!

[@BANSAI578]

Be sure i appreciate really your video. I use also Hikmicro habrok miltispectral bino. I compare pard T32 miltispectral and DNT thermnight.

[@huntersdiary]

ye agree great video but that mc has to go mate

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

Thanks, and yes it wasn't great was it? I hope it didn't spoil the video for you...

[@KevinMc7-s8o]

uhhhh that thermal resolution is utterly dismal compared to the new models

[@RichardSaunders-w9b]

I think a little quality was lost in the recording. Real time the image clarity is fine for close range spotting/targeting. If you're comparing it to the new 335 and 635 models, then yes of course the 225 isn't as clear as the new models have higher spec thermal sensors and cost more as a result. The 225R model is also a lot more affordable. I've no complaints, especially for 12 ft/lbs use.
