Mat Manning is targeting pests that have homed in on the farmyard. Equipped with his FX Impact M4 bullpup airgun and Hawke Sidewinder scope Mat sets up an ambush from the cover of a barn. It turns out to be a varied hunting trip with pigeons, crows, jackdaws and rats in the cross hairs.

You don’t have to have expensive kit to enjoy airgun shooting as Mat proves as he reviews one of the best gunsights for under £100. The Richter Optik 3-9x50 AOE telescopic sight is a true budget zoom riflescope and passes our test for a reliable affordable scope for hunting, plinking and backyard target shooting.
