M1 is perfect!

There small, lightweight, well built & throw out a whopping amount of light!

Battery life was sweet, it lasted me a good 3 hours before going flat but it wasn’t on the whole time, turn on scan, shoot, turn off... walk a bit, repeat & you can change the power setting to suit!

My other two bunny shooters.

Ruger 10/22 which I had a bit of work done through "gundoc" who lightened the trigger and sorted out the jamming issue though as long as it's cleaned with a bit of lube it runs well.

I topped off the rifle with a Vector Optics scope which are great wee scopes and excellent value for money and I also swapped out the crappy plastic stock for a Magpul stock, they look weird but when you use one they feel great and in a couple of minutes I can shorten the length of pull for the kids!

The other rifle I have is a CZ 452 .22 LR which I bought a few years back as I always wanted a quality bolt action .22 and this one was stunning with its stock just sitting on the rack so home it came.







I put a little bit of "bling" on the CZ.

Great to see ya dressing em out GWH, will be beauty in the slow cooker

I too expected to see a few more semis. Apparently under the new law you can have a pistol grip AR style stock on a 10/22. Ruger 10/22s are the new rifle that can be accessorised and blinged up.

It seems to be how the americans market stuff buy a rifle bike or something like that then spent heaps on accesories to try and get it to work properly or buy something else that doesnt need all the blingy shit

Not a rimfire rabbit gun, but a rabbit gun none the less. Diana PCP air rifle. .25 cal. Arken 4-14 scope, which is surprisingly nice (Cheers Ken at 55six). Chosen as it was one of a handful of scopes that has adjustable parallax that will go down below 10m.
Hits the .22 spinners pretty hard, so cannot wait to introduce this to the bunnies close to the house, and on the properties they won't let me onto with a .22.

What sort of velocity does it poke em out at?

28gn pellet @920fps with the standard setting on the regulator. There's room to add a bit more velocity if I get to a position where 920 is not doing the job.

I would choose the CZ over the Savage but to be fair my marlin is brilliant too and I've seen no reason to upgrade.

Savage have a nicer trigger, and more accurate than the one or two CZs I've compared them with - but you can get better and worse examples of both of course.

CZ are prettier, better finished and handle really nicely.

Both are good options, might depend which qualities you value more and which one fits you best.

What scopes and reticles are you all running?
