Went out for rats last night and was utterly skunked for various reasons and interruptions. Also it was cold and the rats being smarter than I stayed in… So, I went back out this afternoon about 4 pm to see what I might… It was a good session… Took a bunch of sparrows and two rats in this very crowded hoop house. As you can see by the very crowded conditions, judicious sending at all times…! I was surprised to see the rats as I wasn’t expecting them. Atomic XR, Zulus 5-20x atop, sending CPHPs. Furthest shots 30 yards, the little sub 17 FPE Atomic simply wrecks them at those ranges… The starling was my first kill exiting the truck…. This little gun is simply murder on these small vermin out to 50 yards…

Luis! Excellent shooting and videos! That first rat was so DRT! I thoroughly enjoyed the videos and I luv the report of your Atomic, so quick and snappy tells me it's a spot on tune!

Thanks Randall, she is shooting as received out the box. My Atomic refuses to be overshadowed by the Pathfinder and Ghost. I love the fact that I still hand pump the little beastie…🙏

Absolutely smacking them! I don’t know a thing about that gun but the results speak for themselves. Nice work.

Thanks, much appreciated. We understand that at those ranges many airguns will get it done. So not so much about the gun, but more about all the man/boys, myself thankfully included, still going out to play for a little while more…

You know at the end of the day regardless of the range you were still out there getting it done. The scope looks really good too btw… really nice footage to watch.

Those invasive corks have been the bringers of a more than a few of the dreaded hangover headache. It may not be glamorous but I sure ain’t mad at it. Haha

Not my first shot of the day. So I took down the other video because this one is way better haha… 73.8y and I got the sound of the slug landing on film this time.
