Thread: semi auto rimfire for hares and bunnies ?????

I own a 10/22 ( in NZ , they are illegal to own here in OZ unless you have an endorsement - very hard to get ) and really like it for what it is - a cheap , reliable semi-auto , buttttt.......
Accurate it isn't .
I own and have owned a number of accurate .22 rifles , even competed for a while at state level .22 Benchrest comps here in OZ .
I could be wrong but I suspect I would have to spend many $ altering and customising the 10/22 to get it even close to my old pre war Walther sporting rifle for example , and my comp gun ...well just forget that .
I recently purchased a Tikka T1 and straight out of the box it makes the 10/22 look silly in terms of accuracy and extends the distance of head shots out by quite a margin .
For a rabbit hunting tool a bolt action wins everytime for me no matter how fast and furious the hunting action is .
The 10/22 is just fun and is my possum gun where the distances are short , or as a tin can destroyer where burning up ammo is the name of the game .
