Brimmer 220 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 SSG for sure! Quote Link to post
toby63 1,236 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 depends on distance but 6s 32g would do fine. Quote Link to post
Ratsmasher 36 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 ideal would be 32g 5s but 28g 6s you would be fine with as long as you show restraint with regards to range Ratty Quote Link to post
tegater 789 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 .410 with 6 shot unless you don't want to eat them. I would go as light as possible, ferreting to the gun is usually very close, the way I do it. Quote Link to post
j316 119 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 just one if you hit them Quote Link to post
fox assasin 16 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 would 7 and a halfs 28grams do ? Quote Link to post
tegater 789 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 would 7 and a halfs 28grams do ? Close up it would kill but to many pellets to eat, at distance it wouldn't be fair on the bunny. Quote Link to post
Born Hunter 17,780 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I would frown on anything less than 6 tbh. 5s or even 4s will be far better imo. You should'nt need 4s but if shooting at distance they'll not be too much. 1 Quote Link to post
CWN-HELA 228 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Try a BB 52G that will stop them in there tracks. Lol Quote Link to post

The one 8,483 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I use pigeon express 6's for everything and if you hit them in the head it kills them Quote Link to post
fitchet 788 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I use 6s for open buries and 5s for bramble covered warrens. ATB Quote Link to post
fox assasin 16 Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Would fixed chokes make any differance when using 7 and halfs 28 grams ? Quote Link to post
