The Airgun Show - rabbit hunting with the Daystate Red Wolf, PLUS the FX Crown on test…

Rabbits are back in the crosshairs as Mat Manning targets a paddock where the burrowing pests are posing a danger to ponies and other livestock. He’s set up with a scope-cam for this ambush, so you can watch the shooting action unfold right through Mat’s sight picture.
We’ve got a real supergun on the test bench this week: the FX Crown. This air rifle costs serious money and also boasts serious performance - tune in to see its full list of features and how they shape up on the range.

EXCELLENT stuff Mr Manning ... super shooting , well narrated .. and clean shaven ... 10/10 ..

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Mark. I do my best but the grooming might not be so sharp in the next one... Cheers. Mat

[@8867348]

My dream gun, the FX Crown in .25 caliber. I've never even shot one and even more unlikely that I will own one. I know this gun is worth every penny. Maybe one day.

[@theshootingshow]

It is a brilliant gun. A real pleasure to shoot. All the best. Mat

[@martinsmith4365]

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE next episode already!!!

[@theshootingshow]

We're working on it.

[@coryjenkins4179]

Great hunt and also looks like a great rifle thanks for sharing.

[@SinCityOutdoors]

Nice video! Great footage

[@marklondon9948]

Cheers Mat, Great shooting and Info as always...Thanks for doing a review just for me on the FX Crown...Haha... I'm a DayState and AA man myself but have been closely and seriously looking at the FX Crown (Laminated Black Pepper) in 30cal. I can honestly say that your review sold and helped me make that final decision for me mate! Cheers, Mark

[@theshootingshow]

It's a great gun, Mark. I hope you enjoy it. All the best. Mat

[@paominthanghaokip5792]

Nice shooting... I love watching.. From India

[@visiter127]

Lovely vid

[@Mike_P646]

My back can't take lying prone for long. Matt,you should take a collapsible seat and use your tripod sticks,you can stay comfortable for hours.Great vid👍

[@theshootingshow]

You aren't wrong. It seems to get harder as the years go by... All the best. Mat

[@badger0681UK]

That’s the best review of the FX Crown I’ve seen. Great informative entertaining videos thanks

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks very much. All the best. Mat

[@ruralpestcontrol]

nice shooting as always matt

Gorgeous air rifle, added to my air rifle wish list. Hopefully I can find a good daystate dealer in the US

[@ignaziopecorella3377]

keep up the good work matt

[@rajeshkarunakaran1261]

Hi dude, My uncle had had this air rifle before he bought a new Diana 460 Magnum last year..Daystate is really an awesome rifle..It is famous for its long range accuracy..

[@toregonmikkelsen8255]

Exelent review. Thank you so much 🙂

[@jmshoottv6948]

Great video , might have to treat myself after watching

[@Andy-ow2cx]

awesome review on the fx rifle yet again

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Andy. All the best. Mat

[@KensingtonToday]

Great sir 👍

[@RussDouglas222]

Nice wee bunny session (.22" FAC I presume?) and a nice review of the Crown too, though I'd definitely fit a smaller mag and lower scope. 👍🏻 Thanks for mentioning the noisy safety, that sometimes gets missed in gun reviews but it's important for us hunters. 👍🏻

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Russ. Yes, the Red Wolf is .22 doing about 35ft/lb. I will always flag up any negative points I find during reviews. All the best. Mat

[@fgularte]

my friend your videos are awesome . blessing from Guatemala

[@danielsimanjuntak3035]

So so so cool. Nice airgun too. I very dreaming this airgun😢

[@davt8615]

Brilliant stuff as always matt, although I dont know how you cope this time of year with the peaked beanie haha. Blimey that crown is a nice bit of kit!

another great vid lads 👍

Just getting into air gunning. This show is EPIC...thank you so much keep it up.

Hi Mat. Can you tell me which Sony camera you are using. And where to get the mount from. Have you done a vid on this setup please. Cheers John

[@Wolverineverminshooting]

Excellent shooting matt👍

[@phillipmendiola1257]

Nice shooting . Damm good eaten here in Texas .

[@theshootingshow]

Yes - always good for the pot. Thanks. Mat

[@anthonyseidita919]

Great video and shooting.would you be able to tell me more about your scopecam and adapter? Does it have night vision? Thanks

[@theshootingshow]

No night vision. It's a Sony Handicam attached to the rubber sleeve from a flip-up lens cover with step-up rings so I can slide it straight on to the scope. All the best. Mat

[@adreandelgado4777]

I envy this kind of work/hobby.

[@John170B]

You can get a scope cam that attaches to the top of the scope and when you go back into your footage you can edit crosshairs into the shot, this way you don’t have to look into your camera to line up a shot. If you want to see what I’m taking about watch a guy on KZbin named NOVRITSCH.

[@wilfredogonzaga3177]

That's my dream..to have a airgun riffle like that.

[@regsparkes6507]

As much as enjoy watching these 'near perfect' air rifles in action, I sure would like to see some of the more cost effective and good , break barrel rifles being used. and shown here. I'd like to hear you opinion of the Walther Terrus and Parrus line.

[@Wolverineverminshooting]

Heres some Springer shooting on rabbits kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3bIc4Ohn9plorc

[@theshootingshow]

Good point, Reg. Andy occasionally uses a spring gun for hunting, and we've got an affordable springer on test in the next episode. Cheers. Mat

[@regsparkes6507]

@@theshootingshow Good news,...I'll be waiting!

[@MasterKenfucius]

What amount of feet per second do you get coming out of that rifle?

[@linusgustavsson489]

A side-shot camera/phonemount for your scope would solve your filming/aiming-problem.

[@theshootingshow]

Yes, I think that is the way to go. Thanks. Mat

[@jprank6037]

Your headshot is excellent,,I love it

[@libor-vitek]

Hi Mat, nice as usual. Please, what was the reg pressure setup on shown Crown? I saw something like 70 bars, is it correct? Thanks a lot.

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks. Yes, that is correct. All the best. Mat

[@bobmartinez1941]

Hi Matt, love ur videos

[@moroshoot8992]

Is very amazing👍👍👍

[@GoingOn-dx6fk]

Why don’t u try the sideshot GoPro mount I got one on my rifle so much easier recording and looking down scope

[@theshootingshow]

I think that's the way to go. Thanks. Mat

[@stevenmorris9054]

What are you using to attach your camera to the MTC scope? I have the same scope and the zeiss HD handycam. Thanks

[@theshootingshow]

Hi Steven. I have glued step-up/down rings to the camera and the rubber sleeve from a flip-up scope cover. That means I can screw the camera to the rubber sleeve and then slide it straight on to the back of the scope. Pretty basic but it does the trick. All the best. Mat

[@gwilko6452]

Brilliant shooting again Matt. Cant wait to go out hunting again now. Been a while. Keep up the good work. Cheers

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks very much. Glad it has inspired you. All the best. Mat

I held a shotgun license for over 25 years but we had 2 kids so hunting took a back seat im going to reaply for my 12 bore licence And i may apply fac 1 for .22 air rifle Is it difficult to get one ive a lot of farm land for which permission is not a problem I missed hunting badly ive a pal across the lane who helps the local game keeper in keeping down the foxes he uses a .223 Hes had 51 foxes this year I remember speaking with the old keeper up my way 30 yrs ago one year he had over 300 and that didnt dint the numbers they breed like hell I look forward to getting baçk hunting I fancy the .22 airgun faç1 rather than .22 bulĺet rifle I let you knòw how i get on I dont see any problems

[@user-fq2yo2ze2g]

you have a cool rifle, maxsimum how many meteres distance shoot?

[@alighar01]

what is the LCD screen on the side of the Gun? can the pressure be regulated or set in some way? oh man, that is one great sport!

[@CNcheffunray]

Is the bullet should to made of pure lead? If so, whether it will lead to dirty rifling, so that every dozen shots, it will need to clean the barrel,to keep the accuracy nice.

[@tomiliff7591]

Thanks for the video from across the pond 😁

Hi John. Out to just short of 40m - the closest was just over 12m. All the best. Mat

[@johnc5872]

@@theshootingshow 40m? Or yards?

[@melskitchen4125]

Great video Mat I'm from Australia love all your videos and love hearing your thoughts. On the FX crown what type of.177 pellet would you pick to be the best up to 60-70 yards as I hunt rabbits and thank you keep up the great work. Regards Mal

[@theshootingshow]

Hi Mal. The FX Crown I tested was sub-12ft/lb so I wouldn't use it on rabbits at much more than 40 yards. I was using .177 Daystate Rangemaster Sovereign pellets. My Red Wolf is 35ft/lb. It shoots perfectly well with 16-grain .22 Sovereigns, though I sometime use Air Arms Heavies. Maximum hunting range for me is usually within 60 yards. All the best. Mat

[@juancontrolfox]

buen tiro...

[@garyturner6194]

Wot would you say was best matt daystate or fx bud

[@theshootingshow]

Very hard to call. Both are excellent so I think it would boil down to which is the best fit for the shooter in question and most appropriate for what they intend to use it for. All the best. Mat
