Pistol suggestions?

[dprimm]

As my rabbits start getting up there in numbers. I would like to stop doing cervical dislocation. Simply for the appearance of the neck. What I am hoping is the INGO wisdom can help direct me to a reasonable air pistol to use for dispatch. I want something consistent - No CO2. A pistol va rifle for ease of use while handling the subject.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you

So you're looking for an air pistol that will kill a rabbit with a brain shot at point blank range?

I used to have a Benjamin air pistol that could be cocked multiple times to build up some decent air pressure. It was a .22 pellet. It would do what your suggesting.

Fun little pistol...Kind of miss it

Yes

A Daisy 717 is a single pump handgun that shoots a 177 pellet about 350 fps. Find a used one for about $50. At that slow speed, I'm guessing shot placement is critical.

Beeman P3 are tack drivers

I'd drown them. It's quick and clean. Sounds terrible, but it isn't. They expire fast.

Put rabbit in small cage, then drop in water tank. Walk away for a few minutes.

Also, way more ethical than chasing wounded bunnies around a cage after the first less than perfect shot.

How about controlling how many Rabbits are born? Why have Rabbits just to shoot them in the head???
Or drown them..a life is a life. I hope you at less eat them. JMHO

These are meat rabbits. For eating. If I could control the numbers I would have larger litters.

Grandpa did rabbits, he had an old saw horse grabbed the rabbits by the back legs and head slammed them into the saw horse.

I am wanting to avoid bruising the meat. The appearance is important when you sell it.

I have done what your grandpa did - except used concrete. Also popped their neck w a broomstick. But there is bruising I want to avoid. Besides this is an excuse to buy a gun.
