Is this a viable anti rabbit air rifle?

Absolutely, getting the scope dialed in can be challenging, but the rifle has plenty of power

In my experience, this air gun does not have enough power to kill a rabbit unless at extremely close range. It will however serve to chase them away and in worse case, severely wound but not kill the animal.

it's a bit erratic if you are hoping for true bullseye-type shooting. it's a spring pushing a tiny plastic pellet into the air quickly, so it will not be pinpoint consistent accuracy. but it's fun, and a good purchase if you're not that serious. i have heard [ha ha] that it will get close enough to a squirrel to scare it off a bird feeder every time without injuring them...

If your question is in reference to using this scope on a break barrel air gun, either a springer or a piston type propulsion system, then find another scope - one that is air gun rated! If you plan to use it on any conventional rifle, or a precharged pneumatic (PCP) air gun, it should function very well.

I personally would not recommend it. Even with the PBA ammo, it does not produce enough velocity for me to consider it an effective small game hunting pistol.thanksPyramyd Air Team

The rifle is definitely powerful enough to ethically kill squirrels and chipmunks, but you will definitely struggle with the accuracy, and you will need to practice the 'artillery hold', but this is the same for any break barrel spring or nitro piston powerplant rifle. A good scope with AO (adjustable objective) will help tremendously. The package scope is junk. I actually paid more for my scope than I did the rifle. A decent budget scope is the Hammers 3-9x32. A good clean/deburr and tune will also help with the accuracy and consistency. These rifles sometimes need hundreds of shots, if not a thousand to break in - but that can also be when the internals begin to wear out. I've tuned my rifle with a vortek pg2 kit, and am now re-breaking it in. The original piston seal failed after about 1.5k shots.

I own 2 scoped RWS 34 T06 .177's sighted in at 25 yrds. (measured) for nuisance pest (limited to squirrels/rabbits/birds) elimination around my farm. The rifle is capable of much longer distances but to quickly and humanely dispatch these pests with a 1 shot 1 kill head shot I keep the range to 25 yrds. & under. Air rifle hunters, particularly with .177's, need to be able to consistently group pellets within a 1/2" circle (which is about the vital organ area) at 25-30 yrds. for humane kills. The last thing you want is a wounded animal suffering a long and painful death or running off and dying in your neighbors yard because of a misplaced shot.

Yes this is a good beginner air rifle depending on your states hunting laws but it should be good for rabbits or other small game and birds. For how much you pay it is a great starter gun but it is not the top of the line however they are about the same price as most .22 rim fires

I'm sorry. We are happy with the air rifle and don't want another one, so I can't help you. If others suggest getting "another",I would ask "them" what they recommend. Thanks.

Not really. Its scoped for hunting rifle and the natural drop of a round and drop of a bb/pellet are not the same. This scope is also fairly large in size and of a significant weight compared to most other scopes. You should look for air rifle specific scopes they are out there and fairly cheap.

Absolutely not. This is a junk. I tried two of them. Both were useless. It seems like a kids toy. Go with a regular pcp air rifle, maybe a Benjamin Marauder.

Just like with any small calibre firearm or bow shot placement is key. If you can place a kill shot on the rabbit i believe it will get the job done. If you're looking for a sure thing then i would recommend a .22 calibre gun. i believe the hornet is sold as .22, but i was unable to find it on amazon. hope this help you.

Yes, I put a ten dollar scope from Walmart on mine, and use good pellets and I've killed a ton of squirrels, rabbits, birds and even a possum with mine. Needs a good cleaning before sighting in though. The pellets it comes with are useless, and half of them are deformed beyond use. I would suggest ordering some good ones with the rifle

Yes. it can. i shot two rabbits and dropped them cleanly with a single shot each to the head. great rifle.

Yes this scope will be fine on you air rifle I have it on my pellet gun which shoots 1200 fps and I can hit a black dot on a piece of paper that's how accurate it is

lol I have this on a .308 keltec rfb which kicks way harder than the air rifle. it will be fine. very good scope btw.
