    The 22 is a semi auto with heavy barrel and a laminate stock. 4-9 x 32 scope on top. Any mods needed for bunnies? was thinking supressor?

    Cheers

    Do you count ammo as a mod cause thats all you need to kill bunnies with that setup.

    Nice timber.
    Mine likes CCI ammo.
    You could try a silencer and bolt buffer TKO/22 Bolt Buffer Installation for the 10/22 Rifle - YouTube


    PS - that junction box don't look too healthy. Take the flammables off it

    If your not going to suppress it don't worry about the bolt buffer. If you are then its a must. I would look at getting the trigger lightened if it is still at the factory setting of 9lbs . Head to central if you want unlimited bunnies, pretty easy finding a farm but its lambing time at the moment so farmers wont want you on their land right now

    If you don't mind driving to Bannockburn then I can give you the address for a property that is filthy with rabbits (like most of central). It's an alpaca farm overlooking the Clutha and the owner was always stoked to have us by on weekends to blast some bunnies. Terrain is great, numbers are mind blowing (for a Canadian anyways) and the Llamas are pretty friendly. Just watch out for the one-eyed alpaca, he's a SOB.

    goto Mark McFarlane who runs Desert Guns in cromwell if you want your trigger sorted, he did an awesome job fixing my 10/22s action
