Again- where do you draw the line on what it's ok for somebody else to hunt with? If it's legal-it's legal. I've used options on both sides of the spectrum successfully for deer. And will continue...

And to be clear.. I'm not recommending a .30-30 for rabbit. I'm just saying it's not wrong to use one if somebody chooses to.

Back to the OP:

yes, any .30-30 load to the head will...

Being wrong isn't offensive, it's just wrong. :poke:

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? ...
