Finally found a place to shoot rabbits on close to home, but it is surrounded by lifestyle blocks and horses so a .22 rimfire is not really an option. Mostly going to be wandering or sitting close to boundary shelterbelts, outcrops, etc and picking my shots. Just happy to be given the opportunity to shoot rabbits again (my childhood happy place!).
I am thinking that a decent air rifle may be the way to go. Anyone have any suggestions for a good set up and/or views on pellet size I should be looking at for knocking over rabbits. What sort of distance for a humane kill can be achieved with them?
I haven't shot an air rifle in about 35 years, so happy to be schooled up on the subject.
