Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 good rifles second hand for rabbits under £300.. erm... weihrauch 97 95 77 99 air arms tx200 bsa supersport lightning loads more... MAIN THING ... PRACTICE PRACTICE. you said you have shot targets before so if you can hit a 2p at whatever range, 20yds 30yds 40yds... then shoot to the range you can hit the 2p EVERY TIME. as for .177 / .22 it doesent matter, if the pellet enters the brain the rabbit is dead simple. .177 flies flatter so if your not so good with estimating distances go for .177 all the best 1 Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,587 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Try a look at an HW80 Nat. You could find a second hand one for your your budget and it's the best break barrel spring rifle you can buy. Pianoman. Quote Link to post
