    so a .223 would do it with ease and no need to dial.... as would the 17s
    see thats why my .22lr gets little use,the .223 is just so good and fun to use....and for walk around with the dog,the .12ga does great job.
    I actually went without .22lr for a time,then saw sense and bought another .
    the .22magnum is worse still...ammunition similar price to 223 and noise similar too...so why not just use .223 ???

    if you are enjoying the challenge of dialing and headshooting...good on you for doing so....for me ,if bunny is there to be shot I want to do it as quickly as I can. maybe having spent time shooting them for living has changed my perspective somewhat... Im not adverse to shooting them with .270 either,plurry good practise and if you happily shoot rabbits n hares at 200 yards...a deer looks HUGE .
    Hermitage and yeah_na_missed like this.
