How far away would you shoot a rabbit with a .22 rimfire? 50 yards? 60? Maybe even 80? That's nothing to Robert Bucknell's gamekeeper friend, Jon Cook. He's happy taking them at 200 yards. That is possible thanks to a new scope he bought recently. It’s an Arken Zulus HD 520x LRF – a digital daynight scope with a laser rangefinder and ballistic calculator. Once you have set it up, two presses on the button will tell the range and provide an aiming mark calculated for that distance. Jon finds it allows him to shoot not just rabbits but also foxes at ranges previously unthinkable with his 40yearold CZ boltaction.

Why shoot rabbits?
Rabbit shooting, ferreting and catching rabbits with dogs are legal activities in line with UK animal welfare laws. They are designed to remove rabbits, cute but a major pest, from agricultural land, where they damage crops, and dig up ground causing hazards to livestock. Both ferreting and shooting are more selective than the alternative, poisoning rabbits. Rabbit hunting is also social, involving groups of ferret owners or shooters, who go out at weekends and have little or no representation in other media. Plus rabbit meat is lean, healthy and local sourced. Give it a try.
