So far I've only taken two bunnies. Both with my Tikka T1X, .22 LR, with Bushnell 3-9x scope.

Out of interest, which ammo are you using?

My LA101 loves subsonics, and I recently tried CCI subsonic Segmented hp.

They're also very quiet,.
The CCI's really low noise signature makes the Lithgow my current favourite rifle for making good rabbits

[wrenchman]

most the the rabbits I get are with shot gun and I have not chased any in a few years and I have used a 870 rem 11 87 rem and a Stevens 311 with the 870 being my work horse shot gun

Took out the inherited CZ out the other day and the missus put 10 rounds in to the "10" of the SSAA bunny target at 70m, I'd say it's the new preferred fun over the T1X, seems to be easier to shoot...oddly.

[Harronek]

Single shot Walther sportsmodel from approximately 1933 , old Leupold 6 power scope , SK Pistol Match shoots one hole groups at 50m .
Head shots only to make things a bit more Sporting .
Here are a couple of Photos .
The target is when I recently resighted it after I had the scope off it .
First two shots were left , dialled it over to the right and a fraction down , four shots to confirm , ready to hunt .

[Modern Game]

Rather old Rossi 10shot carnival take down,trombone open site.Bloody accurate and light.

[Bugman]

17 HMR.

[Heretic]

Started using 22LR Win PowerPoints but now use CCI Stingers in an old Marlin 39A Lever gun - purchased over 35 years ago. Unfortunately, not many bunnies around now. Calicivirus got them and their numbers are not bouncing back

[animalpest]

That is so depends....
I taught my kids with a lithgow and that is still fun.
My old Sako 22/250 with bunnies at 320 yards, took their heads off every shot.
But I have shot 600 bunnies in a night with my Anschutz .22 mag that just kills them no matter where you hit them is my favorite. Whop.

Oh,hey, just realised you asked this!
CCI subsonic / standard (seems the packaging varies) hollow points. They're just about as accurate as the round nose, at least out to 40m or so.

Subsonic is HP, Standard is RN.

I’ve been using the Lithgow 22wsm with CCI vmax. Very good on rabbits but not economical. Otherwise it’s the 22 lithgow crossover for more economical shooting.

I’d love to get behind a Impac mk3.

Ruger77 220 swift

[Wapiti]

My absolute favorite is a Ruger 77/22 walnut/blued 22LR, over my 10/22.
And they use the best magazines ever for rimfires, the 10/22 rotary mags.
I'm mad about them, got them also in 22mag and 17hmr in timber, paddles, laminated varmints. Always on the lookout for others. Have had Brnos, Anshutz rimfires but I can't get the hype about these. There is absolutely nothing in it, accuracy wise, between the 77/22 and an Anshutz.
Not sure about the expensive target ammo, but here we never use that because we live on a farm and use rimfires for rabbits or the recent Myna invasion.

Went out couple of days ago. Took the U/O lanber. Bloody hell, was out looking for a fox. Ended up with two rabbits. Will go back in about a week. Seen a fair few. Most ive seen for bloody yonks. Grandson loved it. Will give him my other 12g to use this time.
