RE: Best Rabbit Gun?
I think the good ol' .22 LR would be just fine for jackrabbits, especially if you have an auto-loader.

ORIGINAL: James B The 22 Magnum works good for South Dakota rabbits or Texas whitetails.;). Right Rammer? Heck anything from 22lr to 500 Nitro Express makes a good bunny gun! |

RE: Best Rabbit Gun?
We do alot of rabbit hunting in the winter.A good ole 22 LR dose a great job.I use a Marlin auto and a good 3-9 scope.I like the auto when the little buggers are running.
If were talking 150-200 yds the .223 works great.We don't eat them but cash in on the bounty(1.50 to 3.00).Have a good night 100-150 rabbits pays for the gas and then some. BBJ |
RE: Best Rabbit Gun?
.22lr is the way to go, especially if yer gonna eat the little critters.

30-06. There is nothing it can't do. Might try 220gr roundnose. That should take care of any jackrabbitt you see.

That auto shotgun is pretty cool. I was wondering about .223. I would like to be able to really reach out and touch 'em

RE: Best Rabbit Gun?
ORIGINAL: Buck_Slayer I was just wondering what a good gun would be for some jack rabbits. Friend just mentioned that we should do that this winter. I would spend a fare amount of money on it, since I like having guns :D .22 LR is cheap and fun too shoot, no problems for a Jack, .22 Mag is a little more to shoot but really puts the smack down on them, if you like to blow them apart go with a .22 Hornet using hollow points, bit more cost but really puts a hurt on them, now if you really wanna see something, use a 22-250 with a hollow point, can you say RED MIST! |

I would like to be able to really reach out and touch 'em  The FRAG-12 cartridges are a family of experimental 12-gauge high explosive projectiles including a High Explosive (HE) Blast round, a HE Fragmentation round and a High Explosive Armor Piercing (HEAP) projectile, with a shaped charge penetrator. http://www.military.com/soldiertech/0,14632,Soldiertech_AA12,,00.html |
