I use a Remington 870 20 guage in a Youth model- Shorter, lightweight, & I can pick the choke. I put a sling on it for easier packing. Inexpensive too. Don't matter if it gets scratched up, & it will. Besides, briar scratches on a rabbit gun is just battle scars! :biggrin:

My favorite hunting gun used to be my 20 ga Franchi light weight until I got my Charles Daly 20 ga light with black synthetic stock and now all I use is the Charles Daly and it is almost as light as my Franchi. The Charles Daly shoulders good and shoots good also and with the black synthetic stock I don't worry about getting it scratched up as much as I did the Franchi, it is a good gun with out the high price.

I am either carrying my Contender 16" .410 or my Beretta AL390 in 20 gauge. This is the first year with the contender and I haven't even broke out the Beretta...

I carry my .410 commanche if I don't really care if I kill a rabbit or not
When I am serious about killing a rabbit it is my 1st gun I bought when I was 11 from Kmart for $22.00 I am now 48 I earned the money cutting lawns it is still my favorite and my son also killed his 1st squirrel with when he was 10. I since have mad new stocks to fit me because my brother used it to teach his son to shoot with it and cut the butt stock down to about 10".

the gun i have the most fun with is my AK410 with a 10 shot magazine. I mounted a camera on it so i can record the kill shots and all the misses. The mini camera I use is the Tachion digital its awesome, great resalution. It was made for snowboarding as a helmet cam.
