Will this gun kills a rabbit at 100 yards??

I would say that 100yds is the maximum effective range of the gun. The pellets are much lighter than a .22 rimfire bullet therefore don't carry as much enegry and are more susceptible to cross winds. There are many pellet options available. Finding the right size and weight pellet may allow it to be effective at 100yds.

No problem at 50 yards. The .22 cal usually passes right through so you have to know your backstop. 100 yards starts to get pretty far out for real accuracy so hitting it well might be a trick.

You would probably need a better scope, give the included one to the kids to play pirates, but with the right pellet I believe it would. This gun punches holes in heavy metal cans with ease, however there are larger caliber air rifles.

I shoot at about 100 yards with no problem except for an occasional hit to the mounting chains. I bring some tools and extra chains to hang the targets from in the event that I clip a chain. The target holds up well if you hang it according to their directions...

These pellet guns will kill a man let alone a rabbit. I had a shot with Crossman express pellets go through a bird from the rump to the neck. The pellet traveled a full 5 inches through that bird. I carry mine when I hike, in case a run into a mountain lion. Anything over 1100 fps is faster than the speed of sound, so you get a sonic boom with the prioritized ammo. I used heavy grain lead pellets which drop my shots below the speed of sound - then it sounds like a regular bb gun. That said these weapons are still more powerful than anything I had as a kid, and as I said they will kill you. Note, the brain shot on a rabbit is between the eye and the ear. You hit a rabbit there and they die every time.

It'll shoot about a hundred yards but it's only accurate to about 30, that's when it starts to curve. But since the gun has an autococker threaded barrel it's easy to swap out the barrel with a more accurate one.

I own one. At 30 yards or less, you should have no poblem taking down a deer. If you want a highly accurate one, spend the money on an Excalibur Phoenix. I have one of them as well.

Short answer, no. A gun only producing just over 20 foot pounds of energy is only good for small game (squirrel, sparrows, chipmunks, etc).

I guess if you beat it over the head with the airgun you might. I don't think it is powerful enough to kill anything larger than a rabbit (maybe) or a squirell. I guess you could shoot its eye out and then run over it.

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

It is my opinion that the NP XL is not the right rifle for your situation if "50x50" is feet, not yards. The high power of this gun lends itself for hunting rabbits or squirrels at 60 to 100 feet, even beyond if you are a really good shooter. It appears that your application involves plinking and target shooting at up to 50 feet. You will be much better off with a .177 rifle that is a lot quieter than the powerful NP XL, and much easier to cock. For a backyard your size this gun is overkill and it will alert your neighbors, and fatigue you quickly.

i only use mine on squirrel and grackles/crows.....i also like a clean kill and don't feel a light .22 cal pellet at under 1000fps gives a clean kill unless a headshot....the gun is capable of those headshots, so depends on the shooter, but still personally would recommend a different gun.

Yes, but it will need to be in rilfe mode and set to it's highest power level. I only know this since I took it on a hunting trip as fun gun but ended up using it, A LOT! I will say you may need to take a second shot with this rilfe because it did stun some of the birds. For small birds you really need a pellet, not a BB, and a rifle that can shoot up to 600fps, this rilfe can't.

I wouldn't recommend the scope for shots longer than 250 yards. this is definitely not for precision shooting, it's more so for hunting.

I can only speak for shooting at 100 yards. Haven't taken it past that, I have no range around me that offers 300 yards.

I have not killed anything with mine. It will send a hollow point pellet through both sides of a steel can. I imagine that a head shot made at close range would dispatch a small animal.
2255658
No- definitely not. The biggest animal I would shoot with it is a raccoon or woodchuck and only within 15-20 yards. Squirrels and rabbits I'd go to 30 yards.

Yes and yes it will definitely destroy a pigeon from that range if yor scope is sighted in for it

My gun had no accuracy until I sighted it in... Since then I have killed 4 rabbits with head shots at 30 to 40 feet. I live in a small town and as such did not want to much power but enough to kill rabbits. This gun is small so it's not to noticeable and does the job
