Hi,

 

James seeing as you are from Canada mate, Ill try and answer your question as if i was in your country with your higher powered air rifles.

 

Yes both calibres would easily kill a hare, no problem what so ever. I believe your rifles fire at something like 1200 feet per second.

 

Body shots we dont do ever unless we can guarentee a heart shot mate.

 

A high powered air rifle that we call FAC or fire arms certificate rifle in .177 would shoot straight through a hares body mate and cause wounding and a slow death.

 

I wouldnt advise it friend.

 

Stick with the head shots if your allowed to shoot them in your country.

thanks for all the suggestions. Air rifles that fire over 500 feet per second require a firearms acquisition license which i have. I think I'm leaning to .22 for the added punch. I already have a 22 rifle but because of the noise i would like a quieter option. Thanks for all the info and ill let you know when and if i get one. Most high powered air rifles here are spring powered and their are very few gas rifles that have speeds of over 500 fps.
