Thread: Pcp Rabbit work

Out on a pest control job last night and chucked a couple of the clips together for a quick video, shot placement is absolutely key when using lower power and the first shot certainly nailed what was a pretty awkwardly presented Rabbit!

Good watch mintie.

Sweet! How do you film it? does the scope link up to your phone or something?

The scope takes a micro SD card and records straight to that, the scope does have WiFi to connect directly to my phone but I've heard it's a bit hit and miss so I don't bother.

Just brought a PCP three weeks ago and I am loving it, got rabbits plovers sparrows and parries.

Your videos are great put more when you can.

I bought a PCP off Mintie earlier this year and have decimated the local rabbit population on a small block. PCps are a lot fun and IMO a lot safer than subs in a .22. Ricochets seem very minimal and the knock down power and accuracy are outstanding

That was the .25 Lynx right? Funnily enough I've ended up with another Lynx now again, the 4th I have owned now I think! This one is in .22 and is doing a great job on Pukeko and Rabbit control.

There are 4 PCP rifles in my safe at the moment and each serves a slightly different purpose, I love them all!

Cometa Lynx and Pard Thermal on duty tonight, 2 of the 3 killed, all headshots at 60m.

Yes the .25 Cometa Lynx. Its been brilliant. The .25 sure has a lot of knockdown power on rabbits.

PCP with NV great combo @Mintie. Does the nv008 mount clamp onto dovetail aswell as picatinny or you need an adapter?

Hi Mintie,how many shots does yr air tank give and what poundish setting does it fire.

Some pretty neat footage.
PCP's are very under rated by lots of shooters who've never tried them out. Highly effective and also very discreet and much safer than a rimfire especially when you don't want to annoy the neighbours.

I've had a .22 BSA Scorpion for years and it's been a brilliant little rifle. Interested to hear from anyone whose moved from a .22 to a .25 and if you noticed much difference in knockdown power on possums?

That is a wicked looking outfit. Do you mind giving us all your thoughts on be calibre for bunnies, best rigs, how much $$ and how far out you can shoot to with them.

Thanks

Loads of variables with PCP'S, I prefer .22 or .25 for rabbits and possums, bigger if you are going after goats etc. .177 is great on birds but on bigger stuff it tends to just poke a hole through things rather than dump energy. Most "fac level" .22s are running 20-30 fpe and if well setup and shooting a decent pellet should be accurate out to 80m or so, .25s are normally running 30-60fpe and a nice setup should be able to knock rabbits over at 120m+.

Some brands have good and bad models, most of the FX stuff is good but there have been problems with QC on some of it. Edgun stuff is outstanding and all models are good. BSA stuff was very good untill they moved production to Spain. Cometas are mostly good. Gamo and Hatsan are cheaper and an OK entry into PCP but won't be as accurate and might have reliability issues. For a decent setup expect to be paying $1500+ for the rifle, another $1000 for scope and filling gear.
