Thread: Advice on shotgun recommendations

holy smoke Batman...the fella is asking what to use to shoot odd bunny on lifestyle block
buy a single barrel Bakail or a cheap SxS or U/O off the second hand rack, put decent recoil pad on it. most bunnies will be in ones or twos and most times you will only get two decent shots away before they are gone, a pump or semi isn't needed and if you are new to shotties a break open gun a far better/safer bet in my books.
the .410 is great to 25 yards 30 if using #4 in 3" shell
.12ga fed with falcon sp36 in size #3 will take care of any bunny that hops on this earth.
I shot rabbits full time for 4 months using just a single banger and let me tell you this, I used less rounds and killed more bunnies than my colleges with a pump and a semi combined.
even now with a good pump in cabinet if out after bunnies its a break open gun I grab.

Cheers Mighty Duck. Interest has expanded to the fowl game of duck hunting. So far the score is pretty low but hoping to change that this weekend. And more central Otago bunnie busting this spring and summer.

Your comments are noted though and I will look into that.
