John, you're welcome on my farm anytime. But hunting in my county is shotgun only for deer. Rabbits and about anything else is .22. Odd though you can shoot big bore all you want in target 'practice'. Bye at almost 59 I can still flip a groundhog at 250 yards with a .303 British with v sights. That's bench rested though. Best one I did was a groundhog at approx. 375 10 years ago.



Wasn't that illegal? Could a .223 be used for varmint hunting?

No you can use high powered to hunt about anything but deer. a .223 would rip a rabbit up though.

I've never used anything but a .22 for rabbits. I haven't eaten rabbit
much since I was a kid. Back then we ate them at least a couple times
a week. Cheap.
