re: I need a pellet gun recommendation that can kill a rabbit

My brother has a Diana with the air tank, in .22 cal with the integral silencer. Pretty quiet, damn accurate, and gets a good bit out of the tank.
He can hit quarter-size groups at about 80 yds easy. Rabbit shouldn't be an issue, I've seen him earhole quite a few varmints that large.
If you're looking to do this in your back yard, and bored and wanting to play around, you can do what we did a few years back-
go find an old Sony camcorder that can do IR. Mount it onto your scope with a couple of hose clamps. It's not 'true night vision', but that doesn't matter... go buy some IR floodlamps and put them in place of your regular porch lights.
Now, go buy a cheapo motion detector porch light, put an IR lamp in that too, and rig it to trigger something inside the house too. We used a red lamp. Set it up on a kill-zone, and have the rifle benched in place covering that zone. Put up some bait of some sort, to draw in the critters (he had a mouse problem near a feed bin. That "mouse problem" quickly became a fun diversion).
The lamps light up the yard like daylight, but only in the IR spectrum. It's pitch black otherwise, and critters get a lot bolder.
The biggest issue became, we got rid of all the mice, and ended up wanting some more to come in

It’s like Redneck Rainbow 6.
