Being wrong isn't offensive, it's just wrong.
But in all seriousness: Where do you draw the line on what's allowed for rabbits? Is a .22lr ok? How about a .22 mag? .222? .223? . .22-250?
Under certain conditions those all seem reasonable to me... How about a .243? Or one of the 6mm? Are those reasonable? Again: depends on the conditions.
An unsafe person is unsafe with a .22 or a .338. the item in their hand doesn't make them safe or not.
I believe I recommended a .22lr or a shotgun in my initial post, and that's what I would use and recommend.
But that doesn't mean that somebody using something else is wrong.
If some one was using a .32 Cal front stuffer at 1800 fps everyone would be fine with it. But a .30cal at 2200 is dangerous ... A .22 at 2,200 fps is fine but a .22 at 3200 is dangerous.
That logic makes no sense. The Hunter is safe or unsafe. Not the tool.
