[QUOTE="ledsmoke, post: 410606, member: 25993"] Hi Jerico Whilst I cannot tell you about local laws I can offer you my knowledge of Airguns & Rabbits. I´ve only shot them with .22 airguns. Never tried .177 since they are not allowed for hunting in Denmark. And with my experience of more than 100 bunnies I never will. Its too light for my taste. Trying to read between the lines of your post it seems you are looking for knock down power that stops them in their tracks. I´ve always been partial to the same ethics. So the next unit I will pick up for this exciting sport is a .25 Benjamin Marauder with shroud. It is a 10 shot repeater which is excellent because some bunnies die hard. So a rather quick follow up shot is a nice thing. And that should be possible with that kit. BTW: If your go for a pcp airgun, always get a shrouded model. They make a loud report allmost like a rimfire .22 Next is the most important thing. Shot placement. I Always go for the spot right between the eye and the ear. It works best if the shot has a little angle forward. That knocks them down and if they move more, it is more of a "funky chicken" dance then a coordinated effort. Thats my thoughts on the subject. I know your post isn´t new, but perhaps you would like to give us a update? Have a nice one Ledsmoke [/QUOTE]
