We’re hunting with Andy Watkins this week, and he’s setting his sights high. Decoying wary woodpigeons within range of an air rifle is never easy, but Andy combines fieldcraft and precise shooting to make an impressive tally in front of the cameras.
On the test bench this week is the Walther Rotex RM8 Varmint Deluxe Kit from Pellpax. This amazing combo deal includes gun, scope, mounts, silencer, bipod, ammo, lined hard case and a ready-filled air bottle - all for under £750.

Hi Matt , another cracking vid!! So nice to see Andy showing a great respect for his Quarry. Some people might say "its only a pigeon" but we need to apply respect for every type of quarry that we are privileged to control be it deer right down to even rats, they all have feelings and we should all make sure of a clean kill whenever possible.

That's not something we see everyday,..decoying pigeons, then laying them out with the air rifle,...you're correct Mat. Good show!

Good program as always. I agree about using a shotgun near houses and have used a sub 12 on pigeons/stubble a few times to good effect. The only downside is the fast and furious sessions that pigeons can be. And tongue in cheek I would say shooting a flying bird is more challenging and fun. Still, if needs must then grounded birds can still be taken as this proves.

Great show with good product reviews and advice. Bought my first air rifle a few weeks ago, it's a Gamo Varmint. 177. Cheers from New Zealand.

My first air rifle was an ASI Sniper which (i think) was also part of the Gamo stable and I loved it sooo much. Hope you're enjoying the Varmint and your shooting!

Great shoot by Andy, he knows his trade well. Congratulations on the Bog Triathlon time/win too! That looks a cracking (if slightly heavy) combo, just one question -is the rifle regulated? Great value either way. Looking forward to the next video. Russ

Hi good shooting on the pigeons Just wondering where you got the cover and chair from? Cheers

Had the exact same on one of my permissions, i struggled to get a decent shot on the stubble. It’s been bladed through now so hopefully next time better shots will present themselves 😁 awesome footage Andy, I seen one of your old KZfaq videos of you doing a pigeon and bacon sandwich.... jeers you was a lot younger (no offence mate!)

@moonbear6220 4 жыл бұрын

i know a few folk who shoot the rm8 and had a go myself, its a fair gun but dont feel its worthy of the £700 range just my thoughts..

@mikeenglish7063 4 жыл бұрын

It's not. RM8 is way cheaper. You're paying for the bottle and the extras

@plummz 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Andy. I see you using the Walther rm8 a lot recently. I know you own(ed) air arms s400 and s200 and weihrauch hw100 so just curious why you favour the Walther. Thanks

when reviewing rifles could you please state if they are sub 12 or FAC.

To Andy. Bring your brother and set up either end of the field, he’ll send them your way and you’ll send them his, easy.

Great vlog again team. Pest control implies in the word pest that what ever the quarry there is justification in the shooting. You see the abhorrent photographs of trophy hunters who shoot wild animals for no reason.
