    The number of rabbits I have shot that have .177 and .22 Air rifle slugs in them, would lead me to think that an air rifle is not the right tool for the job.
    Sure, with the right shot placement at a suitable range it will be lethal, but it seems that does not always happen.

    I would suggest a .22LR at a minimum, or one of the air rifles throwing a really heavy slug - i.e 25 cal.
