HMR is a cracking round. I had one before I bought my .204. The .204 is also devastating on rabbits but better if you happened to come across Mr fox. it makes short work of grey crows too.

Another fantastic video,top shooting as always and good to see you do miss once in awhile 😉

I've had the Thermnight for a week now. Note since Nov they have removed bluetooth and only Wifi used now for app camera connection and ballistic data xfer (better connection). Made rookie mistake and set scope height to 5cm (thermal lens) instead of 9cm in ballistic data. Now hold over is perfect on range finder. IR light is excellent. Incredible value and good quality.

Thanks for the Video Lanc 👍. .17 Hmr is a great round😎👌. Cheers 🍻🙏🇨🇦

Brilliant video's again . Lots of bunnies, great action i have a perm that uses the green fencing but with only an air rifle and night vision we can't get close enough to get a night shooting like you have . Were discussing F.A.C Do you find your getting high numbers simply because because your shooting at longer distances. Lol obviously your a wicked shot . But on our perm if we manage 10 at 35 we've had a good neet. Keep up the good work . Your doing a great job.

[@Gazkirkbride]

Great footage as always mate

[@lancsvermincontrol]

Thanks Gaz

[@jamo78s3]

I like that round 17hmr. It goes with a bit of a crack, though, enough to scare a few rabbits away

[@lancsvermincontrol]

It does scare them but a few always hang about at further distances.

[@ianwoods1384]

Hello My friend, I'm used to shooting a twelve foot pound air rifle with no knowledge or experience of anything more powerful. Your 17 HMR is quite devastating in comparison though a very nice looking rifle. May I ask please? Do you need to use artillary hold with your 17 HMR, as you would a spring air rifle? You were shooting at quite some ranges there, I didn't notice you using any hold over/under. I guess your rifle will be accurate for quite some way! Thank you for taking your time to show us, and explain your kit. I don't do very much night shooting, though if I got the opportunity, your video would be a great help. Initially, it looks a little overwhelming. I quite like my Pard, something I can clip onto my scope, with that flexibility, and I'm away. Thats all quite some kit. Thank you for showing us and your explanation, and best wishes.

[@lancsvermincontrol]

The 17hmr is a very flat shooting round so you don’t need too much holdover between 50 to 150 yards. You don’t need any artillery hold. As for the previous commenter, he’s actually just a troll as this isn’t his only childish comment.

[@lancsvermincontrol]

@@TheAsa1972Yeah, the rifle just stalked and crawled there itself 😘

[@darrannewman7113]

Great bit of shooting , no need for the balistics with the 17hmr . question is the scope multi rifle , with memory for each setup ?, and how many ?.

[@dyudkin61]

Great video as always. I so want one of these scopes but they are still NOT available in Australia and no-one knows when!! I love my 17HMR on the bunnies. Next time can you put a few shots showing the thermal as the main screen, using that to aim with? Or show the changing between the 2 with different zooms? Thanks David

[@darylzampese1855]

Just bought one from The Barn in Qld...

[@dyudkin61]

@ I’ve pre ordered one from “Scoped Out” Adelaide. Supposed to be there roughly next week. Maybe from the same “Australian” shipment.

[@dyudkin61]

@ have you actually got it, or just preordered like I have from Scoped Out in Adelaide? Still in customs when I last phoned them.

[@andydowden8117]

Love ur vids fantastic footage… do you collect the rabbits in the morning by remembering where you shot them or do you collect them using thermal as they will most probably be given off a heat source for a while therefore making it easier to find them… forgive me I don’t shoot at night … was just curious that’s all.

[@lancsvermincontrol]

I take a few home but generally I leave the majority.

When i was young ,i was invited to one of my school teachers & his wife to the property,Tenterfield Australia. We were using an old 22 for rabbits,terrible shots. Walking back home,there was s rabbit,in the grass just beside me on the way back,hiding ,i pounced on it & actually caught it ,scrached the teachers shirt a bit ,when i didnt know what to as it went crazy. Couldn't kill it in the end ,put him in a gage at home & eventually let him go again.

The small, high velocity slug stops the rabbit's heart from rapidly pumping.

[@lukerobinson9646]

f***in hell, look at that gun....Lancs Rambo out here!

[@lancsvermincontrol]

Only rifle without a scope so thought the Thermnight could debut on the 17hmr. Thermnight is ideally suited to closer distances, however it did prove useful.

[@backtoback3697]

Same question I have with other vermins (rats). Do you collect them afterwards? Or the people hiring you do that?

[@marksaunders1565]

Safe clean, humane. Can't ask for more. Well done.

Thanks Mark.

I know it's got a BC, but what distance did you zero at please? Also did you just take the FPS from the ammo box, or crono?

[@lancsvermincontrol]

Zero at 75 yards and took the FPS from the box.

[@2LI-DeltaDog]

@@lancsvermincontrol Thanks for the quick response. Thinking of dipping my toes into thermal. I see there are 3 models, but the 225 looks more than adequate for the rabbit watching your video. Cheers again.

Do you have any moa on the scope mount or is it zero moa, just asking because I would like to use mine on the 17hmr but the mount on my air rifle is 30 moa.

I think the rail is 0 MOA and the mount is 0 MOA

Does the thermal have its own focus ring?

Yes. Watch the end of the video.

[@MJSherwood]

@lancsvermincontrol indeed. Wrote it whilst watching. At 100yards would you say you had as focused as reasonably possible?

[@lancsvermincontrol]

@@MJSherwood The thermal in this particular model isn't really designed for this sort of distance. Close range shooting is what it is mainly designed for.

225R?

[@nigelbase1196]

Could do with a better sensor in the thermal side of that scope before id part with my money...jmho..

[@lancsvermincontrol]

It's designed primarily as a spotter. For air rifles and close range shooting it works really well. I tested it on a 17hmr so the sensor won't pick up decent detail out at 100 yards that I was shooting at in this video, but lower powered rifles would be more suitable with the closer ranges.

You can swap them around and have the main image as thermal and the PIP as the day/night vision.
