Enjoyed as usual, thanks Simon. I had a good little shoot last week from the comfort of my sittingroom. First one on Thursday, t'wife said there was a rat under the bird feeder. Had to go out to mi garden bar to get mi gun and sticks, as rat took refuge in our hedgehog house. Got sat on settee arm with mi sticks and patio doors open, not seven yards off target. It suck head out, and that was number one. Then Friday, same scenario. Two under bird feeder, and one off table. Funny thing was, t'wife said she wasn't stopping to watch, so went to kitchen. When I shot second it twitched about six foot across the patio. I heard this shout, "It's still alive!" She was only watching back garden CCTV on her phone. I ask you!

Thanks for taking us with you on another session, Simon. In all fairness, it looked to me like the rats you missed moved slightly as you were making the shot, so they may have made the lucky dodge. Cheers from Texas.

Always like watching, pest control as it should be thanks for sharing with us

Reminds me of John Darling great journalist and human being

Aaaaahh Theoben.....I remember drooling over their rifles in Airgun World and AirGunner in the 80's....always wanted one, amongst loads of air rifles if I'm honest. There's been some real quality viewing today with the Service at the Cenotaph for Remembrance Sunday and your vid has been a great addition to the quality viewing. Best wishes mate and thank you again for sharing the footage.

😎👍 Big thumbs up for the channel...

Simon a bunch - Rats 3 escapes. Have not seen Jack for awhile, I hope is just relaxing and enjoying his days.

Another cracking session Simon👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

An other display of excellent professionalism. Many others would have taken the shots you didn’t,t. Shows excellence in your work.

Smashing n challenging shots Simon! Getting 60-70 shots from one air load is amazing. I had a chuckle about your hay bails. The wife n I visited Iceland and she would point out the different colored marshmallows (hay bails) they had in the field.

Thanks for the video Simon. Stellar performance as always.

.22 packs a nice punch! Nice video!

Great envy for our beautiful landscape, Simon. I live about 28 miles away from Ely Cathedral, and I can see it without binoculars from my ground-floor window....

cracking vid as always Simon can't beat ratting my new perms crawling

Great job as always pal , was at it myself friday and saturday night .

Dang Brother, as usual, nice shootin'. I was really surprised with that second miss; it looked spot on to me when you sent the rounds down range. Anyway, thanks for the content, I really appreciate you.

Wonderful session Simon - thanks for sharing!

Hi Simon, Thank you for another great video and for showing us your beautiful Theoben air rifle. I remember when they first came out. To me, they looked like a fantastic invention, and even then, so pleased they were two British gentlemen from Cambridge who invented them. I had, by today's standards a strict upbringing, and although my late dearly loved father was a shooter, I was never involved. I sometimes wonder if I should have been more assertive and followed my instincts. However, in those days, if your parents told that, you weren't to do something,that you didn't do it. No maybes or might do's, it was a straight red. Far different to today's world. I've just recently purchased a legal limit 12ftlb, Theoben Rapid MK 2 air rifle in .22 calibre, which I'm thrilled about but haven't used much. I never in my lifetime thought I'd be lucky enough to own one.I'm used to connecting a hose to the fill port on my air rifles. The Theoben is a little different, where the buddy bottle has to be detached, filled, and then replaced.I've seen an attachment where it fits in between the air rifle and buddy bottle. It has a fill port and gauge. To a novice like me, this looks fantastic as the bottle won't need to be detached to fill, and the gauge will read how much air remains in the buddy bottle. Do you think this is a good idea in your experience? Maybe it's neither here nor there. If you have any advice, Simon, I would be very grateful for your opinion. Thank you. Best wishes, Ian.

Great session there Simon, thanks for taking the time to make these films. Do not think ill ever part with my rapids or fenman. There leg ends.

Fantastic as always Simon,it certainly has a distinctive sound 👍👏👏

Great to see you again. Always enjoy your videos and information. Very high quality!

Good as gold pal 👍 I can remember when Theobold & Taylor released the Scirocco back in the day. I've been saving for one since then 😅 Ah well back to t' Th'Airsporter lad 😅👍

Superb marksmanship going on here ! Thank You !

great video Simon. great performance as always.

Love your Airgun videos 👍🏻♥️ thumbs up again !! Appreciate it !!

Another excellent video Simon, well done. Geoff.

Thanks for the video Simon another quality production. One rat attempting a bit of ratstroke at 9.50 I believe. I just serviced my Rapid too though sadly under used since my m3. There's a Hik micro thermal scope with optical zoom coming out.

Nice to see the old Rapid7 out again Si, still dose the job well after all those years, which reminds me i must make more of an effort and use my Rapid 7 more this winter season. Great video as always 👍🏻

The Grandad of the modern PCP. Mate of mine had one of the first in the mid nineties. Used it on the Corn stubble. It was one hole all day, and that's before the huge choice of pellets we have now. The 7 was a game changer, and still as good as anything today. I had a Fenman at the time. Nice rifle, good video.

Great video Si. Rapid is a nice piece of kit.

Another brilliant video please keep them coming..

Excellent simon👌

Nice video Simon. That seems like a pretty awesome air rifle.

Great video again. This is the same as my setup. Though mine is the MkII (not that it makes any difference) and the Alpex. Great for rats and rabbits.

Great video,good to see a Rapid out doing what they were designed to do!👌

Hi Simon watch all your vids it's like home from home I've got a wolverine r like you and I have rapids a .177 and .22 my .177 is like yours the most accurate gun I've had in 30 odd years of airgunhunting.

You keep on giving us great entertainment Simon, things are picking up here too been out a few times now but I’m catching forever in the fenn traps I have set in boxes that I have dotted around including my back garden, got one the other morning and it was huge a proper big buck that’s obviously been around for a while, definitely one you wouldn’t want running up your leg! 19 inches from nose to tail and a body as big as a house brick and a set of plumbs like marbles. Using left over pizza tied on with garden twine that way they have to tug at it and it’s lights out or the good old peanut butter but the flipping mice soon clean that up leaving the traps bare and unsprung. How’s the old boy doing keeping warm in front of that fire, best spot to be!

That's a super rifle, and super shooting too. Simon the Verminator 😇

Good session there Simon thanks

I like the wall of doom.

Right Simon, I'm full of cold and I might be seeing things but, what the #### was that at 4;10 and 6;12 !?!? . Great shooting 😉👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I must be hallucinating or did i see a ghostly being 4 minutes in. Enjoyable video none the less.

Fantastic as always! I’d love to see all the rifles you own.👍🏼

Great session mate. Fancy missing those two 😂

Thanks for the video

Simon I’m in shock 3 misses !! Great video as always 👍

Again Simon ''As always pal ''👍👍

Great video again mate.

great looking andf accurate air rifle, i always think when the theoben shoots it sounds like a springer when recorded up by the scope cam

Great video thanks very much.

Nice one again Simon 🐀

Cool stuff! 😀

Great vid.

I had a couple mk2 rapids ... never let me down possibly the only rifle I honestly regret selling

Nice session on the rats Simon. How is Jack doing? I hope he is enjoying his retirement mate.

Always enjoyable

Quality pest control as always Si.

Always amazing Simon with your accuracy and compassion. Just out of curiosity Simon is this something you do for profit or fun? Say "Hi" to Jack!!

Morning Simon, my God, did you say 35 years ago for that Theoben ? Back then they were the must haves of air rifles. Correct me if I’m wrong, but yours looks like it has a custom stock on it, made from walnut? Beautiful piece. Back then you wouldn’t have seen much change from around £800 I’d imagine. Nonetheless back then it was cutting edge. It would have been shoulders above the likes of the Air Arms… “Rat Juice “? Must remember that one. Might rename a cocktail after it.😮😅😂. Good luck and as ever God bless. R.

Nice change to see an old gun rather than the constant fx marketing vids! Which NV do you prefer though, Hik or Pulsar c50?

Great vid again simon, what pellets, are you using in the rapid?

Good stuff mate . Is it adjustable power on the gun . ?

Hello again Simon! Quick question, since you raised the issue; do you think this is your most accurate rifle BECAUSE it is a FAC, or is that just a seperate thing for increased impact? Have you shot an R7 .22 sub-12 foot for example, to compare? I'm just trying to decide if the added power is worth it (flattening the trajectory etc) or whether you were just very lucky with this particular gun/barrel! 👍🏻

Simon, great gun and shooting, so sharp.If you buy a rifle 26yrs ago as you state and it is so many ft lbs, legal at the time. as the years go by and the ft lbs is lowered how do you stand with the gun? Do yo have to get the ft lbs lowered to meet modern day requirements or leave the gun as is? Thanks

Great air rifle always wanted one and brought one when I was 17 after years of saving! I am now 40 and it's never missed a beat. Mine is sub 12 though and always fancied a FAC one for abit. What moderator have you got on it?

Great to see you. How is jack?

If you ever consider merchandise, I would go for a "rat juice" t-shirt or hoodie.

SPOT ON!!!! Stay safe.

Hi Simon, Hope the star is enjoying his retirement, please can I ask what silencer are you using on the Rapid, Dave

Hi , what pellets do you use in your rapid or isn't it pellet fussy. Iv a sub 12 rapid so was just wondering thanks jim

Hi Simon What time do you think is best for ratting Are they creatures of opportunity or is it down to habitat I'm struggling just now Thanks

Simon, quick question…do you have a tight-neck chamber in your Sako 223 or is it the factory .253” neck OD? Just curious…

Great video Simon 😇 ,, it looks like you don't always need new in life ,, it looks like old is just as good ...... Can l ask Simon do you use a standard 12 lbs air gun ,, or do you have your air guns modified to get extra lbs of power for your guns ,, to may be get more distance and power for your air guns !??! ....... I live in the country in the east of England and a few of my friends l know get there air guns modified and get a licence to do so ,, so they can get a little bit more distance and power from there air guns ,, a few are farmers them selves or work on farms ......... Do you think its a good idea simon or not needed to get air guns modified for more power !?!? 🤔️........ Great video Simon 😇 ,, have a good week end ... Keep safe....... Glen

Theoben were ground breaking with the Rapids. I see you have drilled a hole in the scope cover on the Alpex, what advantages come with this?..

His simon is your rapid a mk1 or mk2 ? Great channel 👌

😎👏👍saludos mr simon desde chile excelente jornada de caza de plaga de ratas problema que tengo en mi casa por que alrededor hay mucho campo como siempre el area de sus objetivos es muy pequeña y dificil de atinar eso hace que sus disparos sean magnificos un abrazo desde muy al sur

👍👍👍

Hiya simon,I wrote to you a while back,infact it was probably 2 years ago when I applied for my first FAC licence,just got it!: Anyway I've bought a daystate wolverine which is kicking out the gunshop had said 50ftlbs, I've fired a few shots and the difference between My old huntsman regal is insane . I haven't zeroed the sights yet,can you tell me the easiest way to do this,I want to shoot rabbits which will be 50 mtrs distance,regards rob

still loving the vids but how come this year you didnt have any vids on the covids it just seems to be all rats and the highly respected foxes phil

What nvs are you using

What the ell was that at 4min 04secs?

What sort of a spooky ghost appeared at 4.08?

What was that at 4.10

Either YT itself is doing this, or someone that watched your channel keeps reporting my posts on your videos and having them taken down. Not sure at all why as they aren't breaking any YT rules.

WoW that rapid 7 hits Hard and may I ask what that ghostly thing that popped up a couple of times on the beginning of your video was ?
