    Question semi auto rimfire for hares and bunnies ?????

    I was all set to build or buy a Ruger 10/22 in a PMACA chassis for when I go spotlighting Bunnies and hares (which I am doing more and more as it's great fun and my kids can join in).

    However I have been put off on the feedback about how terrible accuracy wise the good ol reliable 10/22 can be.

    I currently use a jw15 which punches well above it's price would dictate in the accuracy department.

    I was thinking of going semi as often we are in a target rich situation and having a semi would allow multiple shots to be taken quicker.
    where we spotlight we are rarely shooting outside of 40 yards often much much closer (spotlighting off a ute).

    Occasionally if I feel like being challenged I might go for the odd feral cat outside of 50 yards or the occasional hare at similar distances.

    is there a better option as far as semi auto goes in 22lr or 17hmr ?

    Am I just pouring money into a tacti-cool hole that will be less than accurate @ 5x the cost ?

    we keep the meat off the hares so accuracy is important, I like to head shoot them wherever possible.

    looking for advice on rifle, setup, optics from those that may have been down this rabbit hole before, was looking at mounting a reasonably powerful torch on this setup as well hence the chassis direction with picatinny rails etc (or am I misguided ?)
    thanks
