The Airgun Show - rabbit hunting with stalking and ambush tactics, PLUS the Gamo GX-40…

Mat Manning is out rabbit shooting in the pastures in this week’s episode, and he’s kitted up with the high-power version of the awesome Brocock Safari XR in .25 calibre. After kicking off successfully with stalking tactics, Mat settles in for an ambush to add more bunnies to the bag while capturing the action on sniper-cam.
Also on this week’s show, we take a look at the GX-40 from Gamo. This awesome gun dispels the myth that you have to spend a fortune to buy a decent PCP - it’s robust and reliable and delivers great multi-shot performance without breaking the bank.

Great shooting, great gun with a decent power. Zeiss optics are absolutely top class, right up there with Leica. Those who are old enough to remember the Hasselblad 500V series of cameras that used Zeiss optics, and those cameras are just legend.

[@klausagerbo7213]

Love the show... Please do some pest control with a budget PCP for a change. Like the Gamo GX 40. 🤞

[@MrJames19676]

That GX 40 is the image of my Gamo phox!

[@williammills3632]

Another great video Mat. Watch every episode. Would love to see a stripped down old school springer hunt. Great job again

[@83airgunner73]

I look forward to air rifle hunting vids on this channel specially ones with mat... even though I'm massively into hunting these are the only ones I watch consistently, keep up the great work lads 👍

[@VideoUser3053]

Great work once again Mat. Really well made video too.

[@Ambushcraftnhunting]

Great video as always guys sad to see mixy on the rabbits keep up the great work matt

[@MrJames19676]

That's a awesome beast of a rifle!

[@Afro408]

Good shooting Mat. 👍 Conditions must be good, seeing how there’s Mixy there about. We get the same down here in Australia, get good rain, rabbits breed up and the mosquitoes breed up as well, then they infect the bunnies and down the numbers go again. Rabbit rollercoaster. 😏

[@garypostell5268]

Scope looked clear!

[@Wild_Bill57]

Glad you re-uploaded the video. First one only having the gun review was disappointing. That disease must be highly contagious, probably because they rub faces as a greeting, I believe. Agree very sad.

[@benpatsy2076]

I thought I was losing my marbles! I could of sworn that I saw a new upload earlier today and after reading your comment it confirms that I'm still pretty sane! 😀

A nice looking little rifle.

[@stephendavies923]

Great content as always.

[@airgunshootingandoutdoorch4260]

Nice looking gun. Shot count in .22 more than in .177 ??

[@DullPoints]

4:30 Too true with opting for the more stable shooting position. I envy those with good offhand skills lol

[@marklondon9948]

Great shooting Mat as always...! Was I mistaken...when I thought it looked like the Brocock was jerky and not very smooth every time you pushed the pellet in? Cheers, Mark Farm Pest Management

[@Be-lucky-my-friend]

That brocock looked and sounded incredibly powerful. Can that be used on a normal air rifle licence??, Great shooting as always.

[@brushemteeth9159]

Is this scope universal in the sense that it could also be used on a rim fire or centre fire hunting rifle?

[@kirkvicar]

Matt. What is the bipod on that Brocock XR HP that you're using on the rabbits? Cheers.

[@richf6111]

Hi Mat. Great channel. Can you suggest a rifle that can disable another rifle from a distance with scopes. It’s for animal protection?

[@shaunevans5876]

Not sure if i missed it but what was the actual power (ft/lbs) with the brocock??

[@VinCent-xy5lg]

Those rabbits could’ve had hay fever.

[@crm2507777]

I read an article by John Darling once that said you could eat rabbits with Miximitosis but I just don’t fancy risking it

[@mosseltje]

Mixo isn't transferrable to humans. It is safe to eat and It actually softens the meat. It's more of a mental thing.

[@RenoEngland]

Great shooting, been watching these for months. My first comment 👌🏻

[@gbrinfo]

Hi from France, thanks for your vids . How do you clean your barrels ?

[@brushemteeth9159]

Talk to us about your rubber boots, please! Are they comfortable? Are they suited for long hikes?

[@richf6111]

I’m looking for a reaction like your first kill where the rabbit was twitching it’s legs in agony …..would that be possible for a trigger finger through the scopes ….so it disables any more shots ….but I’d prefer no injury , very serious about that. I don’t want them emptying bladders like u did to the rabbit. Just an accurate disabling of the weapon?

[@paulkazjack]

Fuk you on about?

[@richf6111]

@@paulkazjack Hi Paul. The trigger mechanism……can it be disabled without any harm to to trigger finger?

[@260rips]

The rabbit wasn’t kicking in agony it was a clean head shot, these twitches are simply nerve twitches and quite normal. In real life things don’t just stop moving instantly like in films. The emptying of the bladder stops the urine tainting the meats taste 👍

[@lucasmith2233]

Would this gun be any good for rabbit hunting?

[@llamedosr7843]

I remember mixy when I was a young lad and I'm 50. Horrible disease

[@RamboRobbo66]

[@nawlenkabir375]

great shooting. can you please tell me how to get a pest control permission in Germany ? I will be moving there soon and I want to hunt. Thanks in advance

[@toxlaximus3297]

Looks identical to the phox, I heard the gx-40 can be easily modded to fire well above 12 ft/lbs?

[@matthewcowell4857]

This is true. Can get it up to around 18/20 ft/lbs. UK rifles only have a small plastic bung stopping you tuning

[@stedyone1090]

[@joekelly9369]

People buy the crappest scopes for their rifles . Shmidt and bender 👍👍👍 parralax to 10m 😀😀😀 , (zeiss beater ) maybe unfair , but certainly parralax wise theyre perfect for plinking to uber serious distant target shooting AND built for the highest recoiling firearms ,which wreaks havock on scopes for spring rifles . When buying a large caliber scope, look for parralax from 10m up theyre built to last

[@joekelly9369]

@Peter Johnson yes havina - being a springer fan and shooting 1000 crosman premiers an outing , it soon became apparent normal scopes couldnt cut it . I started off with a vortex razor ffp 4-16. Then meopta optika 6 5-30 . I firmly believe the better you can see your target the better you can shoot it , calibrate it parralax it , everything the scope can do , with patience even out to 140m and consistently ,

[@scottkelly379]

The owner of are local gun club has a hawke sidewinder on his 50cal British army sniper rifle just to prove how well built hawke scopes are ,its been on the same rifle for about 5 years and still going strong,but everyone has there own preference 👍

[@mosseltje]

It's about money. S&B are +2000£ scopes....who's got money for that?

[@lincspreparednessandoutdoo2648]

Id be interested to know how you cook your rabbits Richard.

[@joekelly9369]

Eat them ! Not fit for dogs , even without myxy , theres more nutrients in the food rabbits eat than the actual meat ( fact)

[@eightwingeila7905]

80 shots in .22, 60 in .177? Did I hear that right? Isn't it usually the other way 'round?

[@iloveloopy]

.177 nearly always has less shots per fill. It's due to the higher velocity of the pellet I believe.

[@shaunevans5876]

Pellet, altho slightly smaller in .177 needs more air to push its speed up...

[@werkzoekende6553]

Yes u right its probably 80 shots in 177 and 60 in 22
