What's your favorite rabbit gun.

Post by Fleetwood »

This may be an old subject. If so I apologize, however, I was wondering what everybody's favorite rabbit gun is? What do you take to the field day in and day out? I'll start by saying my carry gun is an Ithaca model 37 in 16 gauge. I shoot mostly an improved cylinder choke, sometimes a modified, and 6.5s or 7.5s depending on the cover/terrain. Being left handed, I love the bottom ejection of the 37s. I also had a gunsmith modify the safety for left handed operation. I love this shotgun!

My dad and brother are Wingmaster guys with dad shooting a 20 gauge left handed Wingmaster he's had since he was a boy, and my brother shoots a 16 gauge Wingmaster.

Let's hear from everybody...What's your favorite bunny blaster!?

Browning Buckmark .22. Shotguns only allowed if there are too many people hunting to keep track of.

T/C Encore 410/45 pistol. Me and my buddies don't kill alot of rabbits, we like hearing the dogs run. But if the right situation accures I'll take a shot with it.

I like to carry a SxS 20 ga. I have two triggers and shoot it like its two different single shots. I have one barrel wide open w/ low brass 6 shot and the other barrel tight w/ high brass 6 shot. That way if the rabbit crosses the road 40 - 50 yards I can still get him! I shot one at 72 yards but that is not the norm.
