What air gun should i buy for Rabbit hunting?
Any 4.5mm caliber airgun with a muzzle velocity in the 650+ fps can kill rabbits at close range (15-20 yards). That includes guns like the Daisy 880, Crosman 760, and Crosman 2100. If you want more range and a greater margin error concerning pellet placement (because lets face it not every shot is going to be a perfect headshot every time), look at 4.5mm airguns that produce around 900-1000 fps or 5.6mm airguns that produce 600+ fps. With hunting weight pellets that will deliver 12+ ft-lbs Those kinds of guns extend the range to 25-30 yards (or more depending on your guns power level and your ability to deliver precise shot placement). When you start getting up to guns in the 20+ ft-lbs range, then your margin of error increases again and you can stretch your range again. I’d recommend looking at the RWS 34 Panther or Gamo Big Cat 1200 if you want a spring piston gun. For a multi-pump look at the Benjamin 392 or Daisy 22SG. If you don’t mind paying a bit more, PCP guns like the Benjami
