Most mid-low end 22 rifle (500 dollars or lower brand new as of 2016) will not be reliably head shot a rabbits at 80 meters using supersonic ammo. Take into further consideration that depending on the terrain and height of grass you may not be able to use a bi-pod or any sort of rest, you may have to take the shot kneeling or sitting and shoot free hand. Even with a mid-high end rifle and more accurate ammo such shot is difficult.

Personally I do not understand the point of stinger. It probably made sense in 1970s because no 17hm2 or 17hmr back then. but nowadays these 17s exist and they are much more accurate at 80+ range, ammo cost is only slightly higher (in the case of 17hm2, same price as stingers).

For me personally, it is HP subs most of the time, occasionally I go with minimag, but if I needed longer range I use 17hmr.

I recon there's a few rifles out there that will consistently shoot a rabbit in the head at 80 in that price range humble jw springs to mind
