I am looking at getting a .22 rifle for close range shooting of rabbits, and was wondering if anyone here shoots rabbits and which rifle they use. and before you ask I only shoot what i eat. I am looking for a rifle which will put a rabbit down quick with minium suffering.

I usually put rabbits down with a mate who has a cz rimfire, but as i have not got a license i need my own gun to catch rabbits.

4 dead rabbits in my fridge now which i will gut tomorrow, not bad for my first time with a rifle. So much better meat than any farmed chicken, and all the ones i shot were dead with 10-15 seconds.

i looked at the first rabbit down the scope, and jsut shot without any hesistation, then went over to it, for a slip second i thought i played god and killed it. then i picked it up and thought... lunch.

the .22 cz is more than enough for rabbits, the guy with me did get a belly shot which made hell of a noise and the rabbit ran off into the hedge.. shame because it was huge and suffered
