As far as scope I use 8-32 which is good but more is always better. A rabbit at 500 plus is very small. Also finding them at these kind of ranges with binos is challenging.

the Rabbits do stand out down here in Central against the back ground at any range so thats not a problem where i shoot, theres just so many of them as well . . . my 10X Khales binos are a real asset when t comes to spotting them.

not to worried about +500yard shots at this stage but that will come i am sure, further and further is the rule . .. more wanting to get my 400yrd shots more consistent at this stage . . . the 204R / .22VarTarg just cant cut it down here when the wind blows, it can be done on a calm day but that doesnt happen to often where i shoot.

what brand / model of scope are you using @bully
