What is best for after dark farmyard pest control, traditional lamping or modern night vision? Mat Manning finds out when forced to change tactics after a failed airgun crow shoot. Mat retrieves an old lamp and night vision clip-on from his car boot and uses them to convert his FX DRS airgun and Hawke Sidewinder scope for rat shooting at night… but which gives best value, the cheap lamp or the more expensive night vision?
We also have the Taipan Slash airgun on test. This self-indexing airgun delivers super-fast via its rapid cocking and loading mechanism. Apart from awesome speed shooting, the Taipan Slash also boasts a CZ barrel, a great trigger and a host of other features for very accurate shooting. See how it fares in our Taipan Slash review.
