[@davidhandyman7571]

Too much fun! Thanks for taking us along for the adventure.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

It was a great night out, glad you enjoyed it mate! 👊

Thanks Edward 👊

[@lancsvermincontrol]

How have I only just found this channel?! Excellent quality, footage and commentary. Channels like these are what stand out from just boring scopecam footage channels.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Welcome aboard. Feel free to share it with your mates 👊

[@andrewsteele7663]

Good morning, Rod, a really cracking video. The camera work just gets better. I appreciated the footage of the yards with the light on. Gave it more perspective. The gear you use is impressive and the vision from the scope is great. I had just sat down with my first cup of coffee and your notification came through, just brilliant. Cheers PS and shared

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

You're a legend mate. Really appreciate it. 👊

[@robinredman5192]

Rod, you are really Ratikill!! Glad to see you didn't get your wires crossed with your bullets like a unnamed shooting mate of yours😅🤣😂 Thanks for the hard work of both shooting and videoing and for taking us along. John here, photographing the beauty of the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.

My pleasure John. Thanks for watching mate 👊

Bro please display your kill counts during shots 🙏

[@mrwick7961]

Can u not count?

​@mrwick7961 I'd be an idiot if I couldn't. It's kill shot display for the experience mate.

Yep, lots of fun having Arnold tag along. He did great on the spotting too 👊

This could be turned into an amazing video game.

Great video, Rod! I installed a Scope Angel on my M25 and no longer had problems with the scope becoming unadjusted.

The HikMicro Stellar SX60 looks to be a good bit of kit. Great bit of shooting by you (as usual) well done and thank you for sharing your evening with us.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate you watching 👍

[@stevenlord782]

Cracking Rod as per usual . That Stella is some bit of kit. Take care mate.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks buddy

[@OhGawdHesGotAGun]

Kind of a beginner question - the 630fps velocity, obviously works like a charm - but are there reasons beyond the three I'm assuming below? Seems to be a pretty arbitrary velocity? My instinct is to never decrease the speed of a subsonic round. 1. Conservation of compressed air in the tanks. 2. Quieter, doesn't scare rats into hiding. 2. Less damage to structures in case of a miss (can't happen of course!) or a pellet passing thru a rat & ending up in livestock or feed.

[@yorumsfield556]

As always an impressive video Rod. Thanks.

[@ThePaulv12]

Oi Rod! Can we have a review of an affordable scope? These exy scopes make for 10/10 viewing content for sure (and I really do mean that BTW) but you using a sub $3000 scope, which is still fairly well up there for most of us, might be fun and informative on your channel too. See, I might buy an FX Impact for the rabbits around my joint. It just makes economic sense in the long term. By the time I get it, a spare charge cylinder and accessories, a tripod and ball mount, scope and rings I'd like to be all in for say not more than about $8k, rather than $15k if you know what I'm saying. The sub $3k scope might see deer service on a .308 too - since they're getting about as common as the rabbits around here at certain times of the year eg. 13 of the kunce ran in front of my car as I was getting in one morning. Can you believe that? Then a big muscly buck with huge antlers (don't ask me how many points it had lol) ran in front of the car and jumped over a fence like it wasn't even there. He was half the size of a steer. He was friggen huge.

[@aussiethrillseeker5006]
