Thread: Recommended air rifle & scope for possum / rabbits

Shot placement is the key when hunting with airrifles. The distance at which you can reliably hit within a 2cm circle is your max distance for shooting at game or pest species. Good wind and range estimation are critical. For rabbits, hare, and probably possum, the best place to hit them is between the eye and the base of the ear. Birds like pigeon, crow, magpie can also be taken with heart-lung shots.
